Chapter 57

57 Chapter 56: A fulfilment

In the King’s palace, several elves and fairies could be seen waiting for the arrival of the king in the throne room. The anticipation of the creatures of light could not be measured. They were all curious to know why Sophia had came to the city of light with her armiies.

If she wanted war, they knew she had a low chance of winning against the city of light. The Light’s population were five times more than the dark’s.. so they have no chance of winning in the war.

Eventually, the king has arrived into the throne room with his Queen. The queen who was as astonishing as ever sat quietly beside the king. Despite the problems she was facing within herself, she wore a bright smile on her face all the time.

As soon as the king and all other important families of the city arrived, the Duke had started with the discussion.

“Sophia of the Dark Creatures, you left the city of light for the Otherlands about ten years ago. Is that true?”

“Yes, but some people are saying I was banished and exiled from the city. Let them know that I left on my own accord.” Sophia replied with ethusiasim.

“As I was saying.” The Duke continued after giving Sophia a glare full of threat. “But today, you came to the city of light with your family and other creatures of the dark. We all are gathered here to know the reason why you returned. Sophia of the dark creatures, what is your purpose of returning.”

All eyes fell on Sophia as they awaited her explaination. But instead of words, the people saw her laughing.

“Sophia, the king demands a tangible explanation. Everyone here demands you to explain why you are here.” The school master said.

.....

As if Adam’s words had provoked Sophia, her brows twitched slightly.

“Is this a way to treat a citizen of this city? I only left this city for ten years because I had to get rid of the greed that is in the eyes of the dark elves and fairies. That was my responsibility as a Dean and leader to them. Have you forgotten about the incident of the blood stone?”

Eyes of everyone widened upon hearing the name; blood stone. It’s been a long time since they last heard about it. They remembered how everyone coveted to have the blood stone because of its ability to make them learn two to three magics.

Back then, the dark creatures were disappointedly weak but they wanted to change their story and become stronger which only the blood stone could do. So they plotted on stealing the blood stone that was kept in the hideous hall located in the school of light.

There were two schools which one is for the creatures of light and the other was for the creatures of dark. Some certain students from the school of dark, who were greedy for the blood stone sneakingly entered the school of light that was beside their school. They avoided being seen by everyone on their path and succeeded in stealing the stone. But on their way back to the school of dark, they were captured and arrested by the soldiers of the school of light.

They thought they had sneaked so perfectly into the school without being seen, unknown to them that the Dean of the dark had overheard their conversation and had informed Adam to punish them once they have been caught red handed.

The students were caught by the soldiers of the school of light, on Adam’s orders and they were disciplined greatly. That was when the problem came in between the two schools.

Ever since the Light had learnt that the Dark were greedy on having the blood stone all to themselves, they have been calling them all sort of names and were hurling insults on them.

For a little moment of time, the dark kept silent and didn’t do anything to the light students until the insults started getting out of hand. Sophia would always try her best to calm her students down not to mind what they were saying but the students couldn’t accept it any longer.

“Dean, if you were in our shoes, you would not be saying what you’re saying right now. If only I had a powerful magic, I would beat up those students.” One of the students voiced out after she couldn’t accept hearing Sophia lecture them about being good always.

Sophia felt sad for her students and hoped everything will stop and return to normal just as it had been. But unfortunately, Sophia was wrong. Nothing returned to normal. The two schools who used to participate in a friendly contest turned themselves into enemies as each competes and fight with hate and disgust for each other.

What made Sophia made up her mind to leave the school was when her best friend, Pretta, the Dean of light accused Sophia for encouraging her students to keep up with the theft and greediness they had for the blood stone. Angered by her words, Sophia exposed all the secrets she had knew about her to the public and both started humiliating themselves. Best friends became best Enemies because of the blood stone matter and even till now, the two still held a grudge with each other.

Sophia realized what they all had done because of the blood stone, she recalled the words of the young lady fairy who wished to have a stronger magic and have her revenge on those that hurt her. She thought on what to do and then decided to leave the whole city with every of the black creatures, including the parents.

“So, what do you want now that you’re back?” The king finally asked.

“What I want is simple. I want the dark fairies and the light fairies to start living together like before. Let both races have their own different schools like before. Make me the dean of the dark creatures while Pretta will be the dean of the light creatures. Let both Schools have a competition among each other. And dear King, you know the light creatures have always been the winner in all competitions we’ve held together, I want you to promise us that if the creatures of the dark manages to win the Competition against the light creatures, we will be granted the chance to keep the blood Stone in our school and not in the light school.”

Everyone had a groan leaving their mouths as they listened to the demands of Sophia. The king sighed as he turned his gaze toward the queen beside him. Be signalled for her to give her own opinions about the matter.

The Queen, Evelyn silently cleared her throats as she started speaking. She had the smile on her face as always and everyone loves it when she talks. She was highly respected and adored by most women because of how unshakable she was despite the fact that she was barren. Although most people knew she had a child back when she was still young. But the child wasn’t considered a part of them because he was a human. So most people thought Evelyn was being punished for having a relationship with a human and would be barren for eighteen years because of that. She is in her sixteenth year so she still have hope of having a child soon. Everyone believed she would, including the king. That’s why the king decided not to take in any concubines or wife apart from her.

“It is an impossible but yet possible task, your highness. I would suggest you ask for the opinions of those who would be controlling the school. Let them cast a vote, and that will decided if we will fulfill Sophia’s request or not. That’s my suggestion your highness.” Evelyn replied.

Everyone had a smile on their face after hearing the Queen’s suggestion. They didn’t just love the queen because of her virtuality but because of how wisely she speaks most of the time. They all glanced at Sophia as if to show her that she’ll be put to shame soon. But they were upon seeing her smiling more brightly than ever.

“What’s wrong with her? She’s smiling.”

“It seems like she’s not afraid of the results.”

“Does she think we will side with her wishes.”

“Her smile is freaking me out.”

The teachers started saying all sort of words but Sophia didn’t budge as she acted herself and kept on smiling.

She tilted her heads to look at her men. Using one of her magics, she communicated with her men telepathically.

“If Plan B fails, we’ll have to go for plan C, we’ll create a war starting from the throne room. Understood! Notify the other soldiers to get ready. I’ll be dealing with the minds of these silly teachers here.” A grinned formed on her cheek as she glanced at each of the teachers.

That was when someone had entered the throne room.

“Where’s my daughter you bitch!”
