Chapter .1.
25 Years Later…
Rose limped to her husband's office. He had called for all the teachers over the speakers. When she opened the door her husband looked troubled and all the teachers (Moroi, Dhampir's and human) all looked worried. And one stranger who looked calm.
"What is going on my love?" Rose asks Joseph
"This is Guardian Rodgers from the Court. Guardian Rodgers this is the Arch-Headmistress and my wife Rose", Joseph says
"Why are you here? We don't go under the court", Rose says sharply
"Queen Vasilisa knows you don't but wants to come and expect the school. She will be here in a week. If you refuse it will make you all look bad", Guardian Rodgers says
"What does the Queen what with St Havens?" Rose asks
"She has heard much about this Academy. And this Academy has taken a lot of St Vladimir's students away. The Queen would like to inspect the school which has done that", Guardian Rodgers says
"We are not under the Queen's control. We don't take money from the Court", a teacher says
"She knows. But still wants to inspect the school", Guardian Rodgers says
"Guardian Rodgers why don't you wait outside while we all talk about this", Joseph says
"Very well", Guardian Rodgers says leaving the room
"I don't want them coming here", Rose says to her husband
"Me either does everyone feel that way?" Joseph asks
Everyone agreed.
"But isn't it likely the Queen will take matters into her own hands and come anyway and that will be more dangerous?" a top Guardian asks
"Rose what do you think?" Joseph asks
"She would. I guess it is better if we know the details then deny them to come here", Rose says hating that she had to say it
"We are going to have to call on the Major and Royal Council", Joseph says
"It will take them a couple weeks to get here", Rose points out
"That's the point", Joseph says with a smirk
"Oh how I love you", Rose says kissing his lips
"Martha have Guardian Rodgers back in here", Joseph says through the intercom
"Right away Arch-Headmaster", Martha says
"Arch-Headmaster, Arch-Headmistress", Guardian Rodgers says, "So will the Queen be about to arrive"
"We must speak with the Royal families that we have here. Their children go here and the Queen coming here will but those families in danger. So you will have to wait till we contact all those families", Joseph says
"How long will that take?" Guardian Rodgers asks frowning
"A couple of weeks. We must raise our guard the major families and royal families will insist on that. So you will have our answer in 3 weeks time. As you should be aware all royal families and major families need a say", Joseph says
Guardian Rodgers phone rings. Guardian Rodgers talks for a few minutes before hanging up.
"The Queen would like to Skype with you", Guardian Rodgers says
"Fine. Just me. All teachers please go back to your duties", Joseph says and nods as Rose to hide in the shadows
Guardian Rodgers puts up Skype using Joseph's computer.
"Your Majesty this is Arch-Headmaster Joseph Stanley", Guardian Rodgers says
"Arch-Headmaster", Queen Vasilisa says
"Queen Vasilisa Dragomir", Joseph says
"I take it you have a problem with me coming?" Queen Vasilisa says
"We have human royal families here along with other royal families. They must be informed. Safety you understand", Joseph says
"Of course. How long will that take?" Queen Vasilisa asks
"A few weeks. Some families take a while to get a message through", Joseph says
"Can't you shorten the time frame?" Queen Vasilisa asks annoyed
"No. The royals trust us here to look after their children. We always inform families if there is a change in security status here. So I am sorry Queen Vasilisa. But it is our protocol. And we do not answer to the Royal Court", Joseph says
"Then you have two weeks to prepare since your not under my control. I don't need your permission to come there. I will be there in two weeks. Please fix the details", Queen Vasilisa says cutting the signal
"Tell your Queen she will have two weeks but we are not responsible for if anything happens", Joseph says angrily, "Now get out"
Guardian Rodgers goes out and Rose comes out of the shadows.
"Looks like Vasilisa is not the same girl I left", Rose says
"No she isn't. She is putting us all in danger", Joseph says
"I know and I am angry about it too. I will handle how the Queen gets here and the security and you handle the Royals and major players in this Academy", Rose says
"Rose I know how much they hurt you. You don't have to be a part of this", Joseph says to his wife
"I am not letting Vasilisa put our students and staff in danger. I will construct a plan for security. You know mine are the best", Rose says
"I love your heart, my Rose", Joseph says kissing Rose
"Don't thank me yet. I haven't got a way to get the Queen here safety yet. I still have to plan", Rose says
"Well I better contact the families then", Joseph says
"I will see to the kids then to a plan. I will speak to our Guardians", Rose says
"Sounds like a plan", Joseph says kissing Rose
"Let's get to this so our school will be safe", Rose says
