"We used to go there on weekends to explore the passways. As it was a special place for both of us I think she will visit it on weekends. I am gonna meet her then." Brina said.

"I wish she would accept you and support you, Brina. If Katherine supports you then Rebecca will follow her suite. We will gain two allies" Hailey whispered to her.

"Yes, I wish too. It also tests if our friendship is strong enough or not." Brina replied.

"If she accepts, we will be left with Phoebe and Princess Penelope. But I guess it's not necessary to lure them to be our allies. We will already have a majority by then" Hailey told her.

"No, Hailey. We need everyone with us. I am sure Olivia and her grandfather would never let this go easily. So, we must not leave any loose ends for them to take advantage of" Brina said.

Hailey was about to ask something but Charlotte came, stopping them from talking further.

"Guys, I had our temporary guest rooms ready. We can freshen up, have some lunch and take a rest for a while. Later, Brina had to attend another interview which is actually with the Governor, Governess and three professors."

"Brina, you have to be careful. Those five people will be the judges who will write your fate in the academy" Charlotte said.

Brina just nodded her head. "I got it," she said.

Later, Charlotte led them to the guest room.

"Guys, you freshen up, okay? I will come in a few minutes" Charlotte said, before bidding her farewell and exiting the room.

"So, this interview. Are you afraid?" Hailey asked.

"Not really. Governess is my Godmother. Governor is my mom's best friend while I was a favorite student of two of the Professor's" Brina said.

Hailey almost had another heart attack.

Godmother!

Mother's best friend!

Professor's favorite student!

Hailey blinked her eyes but she couldn't come out of the shock.

These five people are very powerful persons in the Academy and Brina already has four of them at her side?

Isn't it incredible? She actually thought that Brina would have a hard time here because Olivia is very famous inside the academy!

However, it is the other way around.

Compared to Brina's popularity and connections here, Olivia is like an ant in front of Brina.

Meanwhile, Brina looked at Hailey who was in deep thought.

"My mom was a former governess here. However a few years back she left her job because she had to take care of her family. But, the Governor and Governess know that I am her daughter."

"Except them, no one knows," Brina said.

"Really, you are full of surprises Brina. I never thought you would have connections with the people of the Kingdoms. And, I never expected you to be a student here either" Hailey said, exclaiming in shock.

"And, the other year, when you had been selected as The Academy Queen but Louis was not selected as King. Who was the king then? His name was Noah, right?" she asked.

Brina pursed her lips. Anger flashed across her eyes. "It's no one. No one special to remember" she said.

It was Nickolas. He was selected as King that year. And, the very next year they got engaged, damn!!

"But, you would have had memorable days here, right? Two years as Queen. You basked in glory" Hailey said, smiling wide.

Brina smiled back. But it was not a happy smile. "But, I don't have many good memories here, Hailey. I messed up big time" she said, her eyes sad.

"Hey! Don't feel sad. You wouldn't have messed up intentionally right?" Hailey asked, patting Brina's shoulder.

"I don't know! I couldn't just comprehend it" Brina said, as she sighed and took her face into her palms.

"What happened?? Brina, why are you sad? Didn't your interview with Madam Governess?" She worriedly asked.

"No, Char. It's nothing." Brina said, smiling at her.

Charlotte nodded her head.

"Let's go for lunch and rest" Charlotte said,

...

Evening…

Louis is the first person to go inside.

"My favorite student is here! My boy is here!!" An old man's voice boomed across the room as Louis came inside.

"Hey, old man, he is my favorite student. Not yours" An old woman said, as she retaliated against him.

Louis laughed.

"Good afternoon, Sir Albert. Good afternoon, Madam Irene." Louis greeted the old people who were about to fight.

"Ahh! Good afternoon, Young man" Madam Irene greeted with her teethless lips.

"Boy! Don't you want to greet me? Why do my favorite students love my wife but not me..hmph." Sir Albert mumbled. "You, Beatrice, Noah, Lily... everyone!"

Louis laughed.

"Of course, Madam Irene is beautiful. That's why" Louis playfully said, making the old woman smile.

This old couple are the most energetic, jovial and humorous heads of departments the academy has.

All the students love them. So does Olivia.

But, they don't like her!

Olivia was jealous of Beatrice because of this. They love Beatrice like anything!!

"What about us, Edward? Don't you want to greet us" Governess, Morgana questioned as she smiled.

He is one of the best alumni the academy has.

"Of course, I am about to, Madam Governess. I was just greeting elder's" Louis said, smiling politely.

"Did you just call us old people right now, young man??" Sir Albert asked.

"Hey, old man! Go easy on my favorite student!" His wife chided him.

Sir Albert who was a slave of course followed his wife's orders.

This couple are actually from the Royal family too.

They were one's the King and Queen of Kingdom Sophene.

To be more precise, they are grandparents of Princess Penelope. However, after they retired they settled in Academy, teaching the students about diplomacy and strategies.

Meanwhile, Louis greeted others too.

Governess Morgana

Governor Bernard.

Professor Issac.

The only stern one here is Professor Issac.

No one can understand what's going on in his mind. He is like Professor Severus Snape from the Harry Potter book series.

"So, Edward, are you ready to select your bride?" Governor Bernard asked. (He is Brina's mother's best friend)

"I already have" Louis said.
