"That is enough!!" said Stella as she sighed and she looked at every single person in that room coldly.
"I am sick, and tired of continuing in this circle of nonsense" said Stella as Professor Reagan stopped talking.
"I will never change my stance, Annie will not die, she will not be killed by anyone" said Stella.
"The King and Queen have already handed down every matter that concerns the Grey family to me" said Stella.
"And whatever I say goes" said Stella.
"So right now, In the presence of everyone present here" she said.
"If any of you dare try to even kill Annie, I will deal with you, and not only will I deal with you, but you will be banished, and not only that, but you will also be treated like an enemy of the realm" said Stella seriously.
"Are you threatening us?" asked Professor Reagan.
"No, oh no Reagan" said Stella as she laughed and everyone was scared of her right now, even Professor Reagan backed down, he was scared now.
"I am not threatening you" said Stella as she smiled.
"I am warning you" said Stella as the smile on her face dropped and her eyes went cold.
"Now if you would excuse me, I am a very busy woman" said Stella.
"This meeting is adjourned, and I do not want to ever hear, that any of you call a meeting, to discuss Annie" said Stella.
"As Vice Chancellor of the Witch Realm, I forbid you all from ever mentioning this topic again" said Stella.
"Am I clear??" asked Stella and no one replied her.
"I said, AM, I, CLEAR" she said as she raised her voice and it echoed in the meeting room.
"Yes Vice Chancellor" said the other witches as they bowed even Professor Reagan followed in suite.
"Good" said Stella.
"Now get out, all of you, right now!" said Stella coldly as she was fed up with every single one of them.
The other High Council members stood up and left without saying a single word, while Professor Reagan scoffed, and he stood up and walked out the door with an angry look on his face.
Stella looked at Reagan as he left, her eyes were cold, and as soon as she could not see him anymore, then the cold look on her face dropped, and she sighed deeply as she held her face with her hands, she was tired, tired of this, tired of them, tired of everyone!
"Take it easy Stella, relax" said Sapiens as he was still sitting beside Stella, he looked very concerned.
"How can you say that Sapiens??" asked Stella as she turned to look at Sapiens.
"How can you tell me to relax, when every other week, I have to deal with this!!... I am tired, I am simply just tired" said Stella as she complained, what else could she do?? She had lots of work to do, she had a realm to run, and yet it seemed that those who were supposed to be her allies, were now the one frustrating her?? How ironic was that??
"I understand you Stella, I truly do, I do admit that this has gotten out of hand" said Sapiens.
"The High Council is pushing more relentlessly" said Sapiens and he was sure it was because Annie was yet to wake up, they saw this as some sort of opportunity to get rid of who they thought was the problem, even when she was not the problem at all.
"Talk about annoying" said Stella.
"Day by day they trouble me ruthlessly" said Stella as she sighed, she was just exhausted tired, do you think that she wanted to threaten her brethren like that??? No, she did not want to, but they were not making it easy for her at all.
They kept on insisting on something impossible that she would never let them do, they could not kill an innocent girl, regardless or of if she is a Grey or not.
She wondered where they had all gone and buried their hearts in?? Because they were simply being heartless right now, and it truly disappointed her.
"The High Council are not easy to deal with" said Sapiens.
"Especially when they see something, or someone as a threat, and they band together and believe that until that threat is eliminated" said Sapiens as he sighed and he rubbed his forehead, he was also tired of this all.
He had to be here to support Stella, because he was sure that she would not have been able to hold up if he was not here with her, to at least try to reason with the other High Council members.
"You know what Sapiens" said Stella as she sighed and she looked up at him.
"I find it funny how they all band together against their kind" said Stella as she scoffed.
"If they had at least given me this kind of support against Azazel, we would not be in this mess" said Stella as she was truly annoyed.
"But no... they would rather band together against an innocent girl" said Stella as she scorned, they all were a bunch of hypocrites.
"Stella I do feel your frustrations and pain" said Sapiens, even though he did not show it, he truly did feel the same way that Stella did, he was also truly affected, why would he not be?
If it was in the past he would have been in support of Professor Reagan, but not again, he had changed, and even though he would not like to admit it, he was fond of Annie, she was nothing than a bright young girl, who also deserved to live like everyone else did.
His daughter and her family were all fond of her, and his grandson especially liked her, so he was put in a compromising situation with the other council members that wanted him to be on their side, which was why he had to bring up the Witch Law to defend himself and Stella.
"I respect the King and Queen, I really do" said Stella.
"But I cannot help but wonder if it was a blessing or curse for them to hand over every single thing that concerns Annie to me" said Stella as she sighed.
In a way, she felt like they had done that because they trusted in her, but on the other hand, they might have just done that to relieve themselves of this exact same problem that she was facing right now.
"Only you and them can answer that question Stella" said Sapiens and Stella sighed.
"Look, Stella, there is no need to stress yourself" said Sapiens as he held Stella's hand.
"Everything will be alright, you will see it, but for now, you do not need to think on things that would only harm you" said Sapiens.
"Everything will be okay" he said as he smiled.
"Oh thank you Sapiens, really... Thank you for your support" said Stella as she smiled and she held the hand that Sapiens was using to hold her other hand.
"You are welcome Stella, we are friends after all" said Sapiens.
"Oh yes we are" said Stella as she smiled.
"Oh Sapiens you know, I find it really funny and weird actually" said Stella as she laughed.
"I never would have expected this kind of behavior from you, this sounds like something Captious would do and not you" said Stella as she laughed and and Sapiens laughed.
Stella found this hard to believe, this was more like something Captious would do, and Sapiens was being very... well very nice and understanding, which was a shock.
"Well what can I say??" asked Sapiens.
"I am changing" he said as he laughed.
"Oh I can see that" said Stella as she laughed.
"Thank you" she said as she smiled at Sapiens.
"There is no need to mention it" said Sapiens as he smiled back at her.
"Oh Umm, I am sorry to interrupt you my Chancellor, but there is something very important that I need to tell you" said Mira as her voice popped into Stella's head.
"Oh..." said Stella.
"Well that is okay Mira, what is it" said Stella as she replied to Mira in her mind.
"Umm, my Chancellor, I have just been informed that Annie is awake" said Mira as she could not contain her excitment.
"What???!!" asked Stella out loud and that scared Sapiens.
"What happened??" asked Sapiens.
"Are you sure about what you are saying??" asked Stella out loud as she did not reply to Sapiens.
"My Chancellor, I am more than sure, Matt told me himself" said Mira as she smiled, she could not believe this.
"Alright, I will be right there now" said Stella as she smiled she could not believe this.
"I am sorry Sapiens, but I have to go now, I will see you later" said Stella as she stood up quickly.
"Alright, but what happened??" asked Sapiens.
"Mira just informed me that Annie has just woken up" said Stella.
"What??" asked Sapiens as he could not believe it.
"The same thing I said" said Stella as she laughed.
"I will see you later, I need to see this for myself" said Stella as she could not stop smiling at all, this was great news.
"Alright then, I would go with you, but I have a meeting with Frederick now" said Sapiens.
"That is alright Sapiens, let me go now" said Stella as she rushed out of the meeting hall and Sapiens stood up to go to his next meeting.
