Chapter 5

Janelle paled and stepped away. Her friends let go of Belle and stepped away her causing her to fall to the ground.

Aurelie was said to be as old as the King ….and his mother. Sher was ruthless like her son, ruling her class with an upper fist and she one of the High Council Members that assist in keeping the Elites in line.

“You four report immediately to His Majesty’s office at once!”

Hery voiced boomed so loud it echoed it the room. The girls curtsied to Aurelie showing the respect and then scampered off.

“The remainder of you are being moved to the next class over leave since none of you bothered to help break up this fight!”

The rest of the class jumped at her commands and left her alone with Jezzebelle. As everyone was out of ear shot she jerked her head around and looked at Jezzebelle with narrowed eyes.

“Jezzebelle what were you thinking! Your still in your human phase. She could of majorly hurt you!”

Aurelie rushed over to Jezzebelle, gently she helped her to her feet.

“Forgive me Your Radiance but when someone starts bad talking about my mother and thinks just because my father is a council member that I get special treatment.”

Aurelie shook her head in disappointment, knowing that was true. The Council members only push young Jezzebelle because they had expectations of her being great. Her mind is advanced further than the Elites. Her father is hoping that one day she would replace him on the seat and serve with the High Council.

Lifting Jezzebelle shirt midway, Aurelie saw the bruises. Jezzebelle always admired her she had the same eyes as the King but instead of blonde hair her hair held the blackness of the night.

Sighing Aurelie pulled her shirt down and looked at Belle.

“Your father will be extremely upset at you for condoning even a little bit of violence.”

“I know and I will take my punishment as The King and him see fit.”

A voice broke out over the two which caused Jezzebelle to look over Aurelie’s shoulder

“Belle what in the world did you do?”

Raja was another High Council Member and a teacher in the Warrior Class.  He originally came from Egypt and you could tell. His skin held the desert heat along with his brown eyes. His hair was in braids along side his back. His wife Lilabet, she had beautiful long brown hair that was straight. She was very good at teaching the children how to maintain their magic. Her brown eyes held the years of Bloodthirst.

Raja had been teaching her how to defend herself in any situation. Considering some families think they are more pureblood than her. Sometimes she hears the whispers among the Family’s calling her a half breed or  Mongrel. Knowing that some of the family’s hold such a grudge some of the Council members thought best for her to learn.

“Do we know what happened?”                                        

Aurelie shook her head, staring at Jezzebelle while she did it.

“The only thing I am getting is that the group of girls were talking smack and Jezzebelle snapped, the girls made her go berserk when they started to talk about her mother and her status in the Citadel. I would get mad too if someone started talking about my family like they did.”

Jezzebelle looked at Aurelie with a look that told her everything.

“Your Radiance, your son would take care of that problem if anyone was to run their mouth about your family. His Majesty doesn’t take kindly to that talk.”

Smiling Aurelie shrugged her shoulders and looked at Belle.

“You are not wrong on that point. My son does not take kindly to things like that. I wish sometimes he would take a wife. So that way he had more help controlling these nasty family’s.”

Raja walked away to go find a wheelchair so that way Jezzebelle didn’t need to walk all the way down to the office.

“To be fair I think he probably is still better off not having one though. I honestly think he should marry one he would trust, and love. I know he is capable of it even though he does not show it.”

Turning to face Jezzebelle, Aurelie smiled sadly.

“You have to be in my shoes though Belle, there is not a day that does not go by that I crave to hold a grandbaby. To see my line go forward and officially see the Valliancourt line go forward.”

Jezzebelle tried to imagine the King as a …..um father. To her he probably glare and growl at his offspring and make them into robots or something. Her face had showed her thinking of it because Aurelie put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow.

“Let me guess your trying to imagine Zephyr as a father?”

Grimacing Jezzebelle looked at Aurelie.

“My face showing it is it?”

“Yes.”

“Sorry.”

Aurelie looked at Jezzebelle, she then lightly punched Belle in the side. Belle grabbed her side knowing that the Ancient did it on purpose.

“Owie!”

“Sorry my hand slipped.”

Raja timed it perfect and came with a wheel chair.

“Hop along buttercup, get in the chair so we can take it down to the office.”

Sighing she obeyed and got into the chair. Going to the elevator they took it down.

Raja side glanced at Aurelie and opened the telepathic channel between them

“What the hell Jezzebelle knows better than to be showing her force to the adolescents elite. Especially when half of them have there heads up their asses.”

Jezzebelle slowly turned around and looked at Raja.

“I heard that.”

Raja’s mouth hung open at the surprise.

“Well its true! And when can you hear other channels!”

Getting off of the elevator they turned around a corner and headed down a ramp that as soon as they were down they turned another corner and the office had its own hallway. Lilabet was waiting at the door leading into the office, like her husband her skin was almost a dark chocolate with a beautiful color brown hair.

She stood there shaking her head at the trio approaching.

“Playing with fire lil cub?”

Looking down at her hands, she now knew if Lilabet knew then more than likely her father knew.
