SCHOOL OF MAGICAL ENLIGHTENMENT

DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY

All parties involved in the alteration, which almost escalated into a riot on the night of resumption in the SOME, were instructed to assemble in front of the disciplinary panel where interrogations were carried out and appropriate punishments out.

The parents of the royals were invited to meet with the school principal at the principals lodging within the school grounds. The lodging is a collection of five buildings connected by both inner and outer walkways to create a circle. Within the centre space was a man made island surrounded by a serene pond filled with colourful and exotic fishes; accessible by five white stone bridges.The landscape of the centre space is a japanese zen garden with pebbles, rocks, ferns, and flowers of various shapes, colour shades, and sizes and scents strategically placed to create a beautiful and serene atmosphere.

The first royals to arrive were the crown prince of the sirens prince Resus with his wife princess Nadia, who were led by the servants working within the building to the island surrounded by their royal guards.

'The royals may proceed with only two servants from this point,' said the female servant, standing in front of a bridge bowing down. The crown prince nods, and the guards make way for him and his wife to walk unto the island with two personnel. They are led to the sitting area, which is furnished with various carved chairs, stools, and beautiful pillows arranged around an open fire to create a half-moon.

As they prepare to sit, an adjacent door opens and in walks Alpha king Jared with his Luna Winter. Upon sighting princess Nadia, the Luna screams,'You!' pointing her finger, and races across the bridge unto the island chasing princess Nadia around, who evades using magic as they both throw profanities, and several objects at each other while their husbands exchange pleasantries and sit down. Everyone else watches in surprise, dodging the flying items. After a few minutes, both women, tired and panting, stop running and hug each other laughing. The alpha king whispers to the male servant by his side and he is handed a pen with a cheque book which he scribbles into and gives to the siren crown prince, who takes it and hands over to his own servant.

'I hope its not too late to place my bet' says a male deep voice and everyone turns to look at the dragon king in company of his mate, the elusive dragon queen as they stride across the bridge. The luna and princess walk to the bridge and exchange greetings with the queen.

'Your Highness, it's good to see you again after so long,' says Luna Winter to the dragon queen.

'Indeed your highness, I wish it was under better circumstances.' The dragon queen replies.

'This is the old friend I often spoke off, crown princess of the sirens; Nadia. The i***t finally apologized to me, and I accepted. Nadia, this is the queen of all dragons.' said Luna Winter, making the dragon queen chuckle as Nadia shook her head in disbelief.

'I am honoured to meet you, Your Highness. I am told my son has wronged your daughter. As a mother, I sincerely apologize to you and hope that the issue can be peacefully resolved between our two nations.'

'The honour is mine, your majesty. You are indeed as beautiful as they say. I also owe you an apology for the trouble my niece has caused your son and his fellow dragons.'

'To be honest, I am curious to meet her,' says the lycan king as his closest friend, the dragon king, takes a seat beside him.

'A girl putting seven dragons in the hospital in one night is quite a feat.' he continues as the three queens sit close to their mates.

'Nicarra is quite harmless, your majesty, I assure you.' says the princess to him.

'That girl would be dead if this issue was left to me.' murmurs the lady standing behind the queen dragon. Resus growls, and the dragon king stands, looking at the woman with a cold stare and red blazing eyes making her bow while apologizing.

'I would say the same for your daughter.' spat the dragon king at her, and she cowers with the male besides her pleading.

'Widasa, you will apologize to our friends for your insolence.' says the queen, looking at her.

'I apologize,' says the lady

'Leave us and send someone else in to replace you,' says king to both of them, and they bow before walking off the island.

'What was that about?' asks Winter

'They are duchess Widasa and duke Raqid, the parents of Cecil. My sons chosen mate'

'Not if I have a say on the matter.' fumes the dragon king as he sits again. The queen sighs, looking down at her hands.

'Relax, old friend, Resus, calm down, and we'll sort this out. Let's not forget these are teenagers. If we take away all the titles and responsibilities they have, we are left with just young adults trying to find themselves, and where they are young adults, there is bound to be chaos. Let's not judge anyone until we get the full story.' says Alpha king Jared.

'Thank you, King Jared.' says Resus, who strokes his wife's blonde hair trying to relax.

'The school premises have changed a lot since we last came here.' says the dragon king, trying to change the subject.

'Indeed it has,' replied the Alpha king.

'I had no idea you were also a student here, your majesty,' says Nadia, joining the conversation.

'I wasn't very popular, my lady,' he responds to her.

'My father says you were in your final year when he gained admission into the SOME, and you were the bad boy of the era.' says crown prince Resus.

'Those were different times, and I was a different man.' replies the king, looking tenderly at his queen who blushes as he holds her hand.

'Awww' says the luna queen and princess together.

'There is no greater gift or better inspiration for a man to do better and be better than his mate,' says the Alpha king, embracing his mate.

'I totally agree with you on that, Jared,' says Resus, looking tenderly at Nadia.

Principal Ethereal arrives, and all the royals stand to receive her. She walks gracefully upon a bridge and is helped down by the dragon king who holds her by the hand and speaks with her in a low tone as he leads her to the rest of the group who look at her in awe.

'Oh damn all protocol,' says Luna Winter and runs to hug the principal while her husband chuckles.

'Still spirited and young at heart, I see Luna Winter, I am glad the years have not dampened your spirit.' says the principal, hugging her back.

'I have missed you, lady Ethereal,' replies the Luna, releasing her from their embrace.

'I have missed you as well.' replied the little woman, turning to the Alpha King, who bowed to her, saying,'It is an honour to be in your presence once again, my lady'. Principal Ethereal smiles at him and bows back.

The dragon queen bows to the principal, who bows back and turns to look at Princess Nadia.

'My salutations elder Ethereal' says Nadia, clasping hands with the older yet younger looking woman. The principal places a hand on her cheek and tells her, 'My gentle Nadia, you have done well, my dear, your mother would be so proud of you. You raised a fine young woman who has shown maturity beyond her years.'

Turning to the crown-prince, the principal says, 'I am happy to see you are well your highness, I thank you for showing patience on the issue at hand'.

I should be thanking you, my lady, for taking care of both our girls. I apologize for the trouble caused but hope that everyone understands Nicarra was only trying to protect her sister.'

'Let us hope the panel sees it that way, which brings us to the subject as to why you are all here, please sit down' she says and all the partners take different seats in pairs.
