Plan(5)

Elena walked to the throne room and sat on the throne. The King of Izmia sat to her right while the Queen of Enchansia sat to her left. Everyone was looking at her and she was just seated there waiting for them to talk and get it over with. She was very excited about everything working out.

"The princess has arrived can you now tell us why both of you have come here?" asked Santiago.

The King and the Queen looked at each other and nodded their heads in agreement. The Queen of Enchansia got up from her seat and stood up. She glared daggers at the princess who didn't seem to mind. Elena smiled at her and raised her eyebrows in question of her glare.

"I would like Atria to answer to this," she said and signalled her bodyguard. The man walked out of the room and returned with Jairo in hand, he was tied with a strong chain lased with vervain that burned his skin. He was held at both ends and kept in place.

Lola froze and her heart beat picked up and she began to panic. She didn't know what to do, if the truth about the princess comes out then no one knows what might happen. Sweat trickled down her forehead and on her palms. She looked at the princess was even more surprised to find her smiling.

"I am not that smart but I think that it is a vampire," she said and the vampires in the room laughed.

"I can see that princess, what I want to know is who turned a witch into vampire without permission. The law clearly states that the witches council has to approve a request of immortality from a with. Before he or she can be turned. A vampire can not turn a witch to a vampire with this approval. In the case that this happens the vampire has to be punished," she said.

"That is the rule but what exactly is the problem?"

"The witches council never approved for this Warlock Jairo to be turned. A law has been broken by one of your subjects," she said a loud so everyone could hear her.

"To add to what the Queen has said, this very man killed twelve werewolves and two were-foxes last night. As far as I see it this is a declaration of war from Atria." said the king of Izmia.

They said and took their seats, the vampires started whispering to each other and discussing the complaints that had been brought to them. Elena sat quietly giving the people a chance to think the matter through, she was in no hurry. She played with her fingers as the magistrates tried to come up with a solution to avoid going to war. The war would benefit no one and it could go on for a very long time which they didn't want.

They tried to convince the King and Queen to give them time to investigate the matter and get to the bottom of everything but there request was denied. They tried all else they could think of but they still couldn't achieve their intended goal. Elena kept playing with her fingers and stayed out of their conversation. Queen Regina who was watching Elena for a long time was enraged by her.

"Excuse me, are we boring you princess?" she asked making everyone turn their attention to Elena.

"Not at all, I was just listening to all of you," she replied further angering the queen who decided to challenge her playing right to Elena's plan.

"Then why don't you tell us how you intend to fix this problem?" she asked. Everyone waited to hear the princess's answer.

"First of all I don't know why all of you have disturbed me today when I should be preparing for my coronation. I don't believe that Atria is behind turning that warlock into a vampire." she said.

"Are you trying to say that this case is a waist of your time. And what do you mean by that?" the king and queen asked in unison.

"Don't get me wrong, I think that this is a conspiracy against the throne of Atria. I am a princess yet to be crowned and then this happens on the day of the of my coronation. I fail to believe that this is all a coincidence. Think about it, if a war is declared now Atria stands to loose the most. Because I am not fit to lead a war due to being new to politics," she said getting up from the throne and walking up to the queen.

"You have been a queen longer, tell me in your experience do you think this is a coincidence?" she asked her. Her voice was cold that it could freeze a person, the people in the room felt the chill down their spine.

"From where I stand it looks to me like someone is trying to ruin me even before I start my reign," she added. This point made everyone including the king if Izmia rethink the situation.

"As we know, it is possible for a witch to make a vampire. Magic was the source of creating the first of out kind so it is highly possible for them to do it more fluently," she explained. "It is also no secret that the witches have been looking for ways to destroy vampires especially blue bloods like me for a very long time. I wouldn't be surprised if they turned one of there own to a vampire to achieve this goal," she added facing the Queen directly. She smiled at the queen and returned to her seat.

"When a person turns into a vampire it is always advised that they have human blood. How come this man went for werewolves and were-foxes instead. Unless someone gave him clear instructions to do so and the only reason one would do that was to frame my kingdom. You asked me what I thought queen Regina, well I think that this is all part of your plan. You want to destroy me and my kingdom so you made this plan to get Izmia to back you up so as to outnumber us. And you did all this just to start a war," she said maintaining a calm demeanor.

The room went silent as everyone pondered about the new information. They looked at this from the princess's point of view and had to admit that she had a point. She had given such strong points against the Queen of Enchansia that even Izmia thought she was guilty.Everyone started pointing a finger at the queen.

"I have an idea, why don't we ask the man who was the one who turned him," suggested the king. Jairo was brought forward and the king asked him," Young man can you tell us who had turned you in to a vampire. Was it a vampire or a witch."

Everyone held their breaths in anticipation of the answer Jairo would give. Lola was having trouble breathing, she was left speechless after what she just saw. She was afraid that there was going to be a war but the princess handled everything so far. But now the truth will come and then Atria would be doomed. She peeked at Elena and saw that she still seemed calm.

Jairo raised his hand and pointed at Elena, everyone drew their breaths in shock. They were about to question Elena when Jairo's hand went to the Queen and stayed at her. Regina was beyond shocked at all that was happening, she had not done anything and yet she was being blamed. All the evidence are pointing to her and the odds were against her. She was being framed but she could not tell by who.
