Chapter 245 - The Next Event... An 'impossible'.

Brina returned back by noon. 

Thanks to the Governess and Governor. As one of them is Brina's godmother while the other one is her mom's best friend, she had direct access to the passway that leads her to her guest room and Morgana's mansion. 

Now, she would be able to go and see Will whenever she wants. 

As soon as Brina returned, she sent a message to Hailey, intimating her that she came back. 

Hailey, who has been waiting for Brina all this time, hurried up to her room. 

"Brina, the theme of the next event is out. Look at it"  she showed her iPad to Brina. 

Brina took the iPad from Hailey and scrolled through the email. 

"A test, Brina," Hailey said. 

"How could they do this, man? A writing test as if you guys are students! That too about political affairs, international affairs and the boring history of all five kingdoms!" Hailey vented her anger out. 

(A/ N : A little history of Kingdoms for you dear readers. Time for a history class...lol. 

But it's important. So, just glance through it... haha)

[Powerwise rankings]

Kingdom Aletros and  Kingdom Ventris. 

Kingdom Myraina. 

Kingdom Sophene. 

Kingdom Phliion.  

Kingdom Aletros (Louis's Kingdom) represents Greek Gods Hades, the God of death and King of the underworld. 

Kingdoms Ventris represent Greek God Zeus, the God of Sky and the King of God's. 

Kingdom Myraina represents the Greek God Poseidon, God of sea, earthquakes. 

Kingdom Sophene represents the Greek Goddess Demeter, the Goddess of sacred law and harvest. 

Meanwhile, the kingdom Philion is the fallen Kingdom. It crumbled under the pressure of the Rebellion, now under the dictatorship of its military chief who killed the Royal family with help of outsiders.  

It actually represents Athena, the Goddess of wisdom and warfare. But, irony here is, it succumbed to rebellion. 

(End of history. Thank you, folks. *wink*)

Meanwhile…

Charlotte entered the room too. 

"Can you prepare for the test in the span of two days? I mean is it possible for you to go through and memorize the history, current affairs and political affairs of all these five Kingdoms?" Charlotte asked, rather worried. 

As soon as she found out what the next event is about, she hurried to Brina's room. 

Charlotte couldn't help but scold herself. 

She would have expected that Alpha Academy would test Ladies on this aspect. 

Isn't it obvious? The next Queen has to be aware of each and everything related to the history of Kingdoms and the current situation of Kingdom's. 

Being strong mentally and emotionally doesn't fill everything. It is essential but not sufficient. 

They have to be adequately aware of the circumstances and affairs of the Kingdom. 

"Even if I start teaching you now, you wouldn't be able to learn everything! Alpha Academy has very high standards while setting question papers." 

"They might even ask day, dates, years and names too. Questions will surely be unpredictable...ahhh…. I don't know what to do now!" Charlotte continued worrying as she paced to and fro. 

"The last two events were okay because you are aware of its basics and know how to manage. But, right now, it's very essential to know about specific, boring details...oh...my...god!! Olivia will WIN! She rocks at these things!" Charlotte slumped back on the couch, with her head clutched by her hands  

Meanwhile, Hailey peeked a glance at Brina who was in deep thought. One would surely think that she is worrying inside. But, only Hailey herself knows that Brina is thinking about something else. 

Being the legendary student of this Academy, Brina has to be aware of history and other matters right? Charlotte herself said that it's very important! 

Hailey looked at Charlotte. 

"Char, how was Beatrice in these matters? Was she on par with Olivia those days?" she 'innocently' asked. 

"Beatrice?" Charlotte asked, confused. 

Why is Hailey so interested in Beatrice? From last night she has literally been asking about Beatrice. 

"Beatrice was good in many things compared to Olivia. So, I guess she has to be good in this aspect too." 

"Actually, the truth is, Olivia was not at all on par with Beatrice those days. It was her over exaggerating and useless friends who had made her popular."

"Unlike Olivia, Beatrice was a gem. I never saw her flaunting about herself nor showing off like Olivia, however, Beatrice had many followers and admirers. It was her aura, attitude and powerfully vibes that attracted others. She was something else. A mysterious legend of the Academy" Charlotte said. 

Meanwhile, Brina felt her cheeks burn. Ahh! It felt so good to listen to others praising us, not knowing that we are just in front of them. 

Brina is on the same page. 

Although Brina never talked to Charlotte those days and they considered each other neutral, she never thought Charlotte had such a high impression on her. 

It surprised her but at the same time made her feel guilty for keeping this secret from Charlotte. However, she knows that it's better not to tell for a few days. 

Meanwhile, Hailey peeked another glance at Brina and couldn't help but chuckle inside. 

During the times like these, Hailey couldn't help but feel proud to be Brina's friend. 

"Ahh..Hailey, you just diverted us from our main concern. Now, we need a super duper teacher to drill all these things into Brina's brain" Charlotte said. 

Meanwhile, Brina, who heard Charlotte's words, remembered something else and froze. 

Remus told her that he stayed back to help her. He even told her that she would find out why, very soon. 

So, was he aware of what the competition is? 

But, Morgana wouldn't have told him. She was not the one who designed the event schedule. So, she wouldn't know it! 

It was Professor Irene and Professor Albert (The old couple) who would actually take the decisions over these types of matters. 

So, how did he find out? Did he just hack or something? 

"All right, Char. Don't over stress yourself! I can manage" Brina said, finally noticing the sweat beads on Charlotte's forehead. 

"What? You can manage? How?" Charlotte hurriedly asked. Totally shocked, surprised and curious. 

"Char, you know how Brina is! She has very good insight over many things. So, she would have already predicted that  this type of event might happen." Hailey said, covering up for Brina. 

Brina gave a grateful smile to Hailey and nodded her head to Charlotte. 

"I can manage, okay? Leave about the exam. I will somehow make sure I will not lose." 

"Our main focus has to be on getting allies. By the end of the events, we shouldn't let Olivia to even have a single ally. That's our main objective" Brina said. 

Charlotte pursed her lips and nodded her head. 

Yeah! How can she forget that! 

"So, who is our next target? Penelope?" Charlotte asked. 

"No. It's Phoebe. Our first objective is to peel out Olivia from her power. And, the first step to it is breaking her from her allies. So, it has to be Phoebe" Brina said. 

She actually thought of targeting Katherine. Not targeting but an alliance. 

Brina just found out that Olivia's grandfather is indeed giving hard time to Katherine and her House. 

So, she thought Katherine would be easy to make a deal with. However, things changed when she found out that Katherine is actually her best friend, Athena. 

Now, it is actually made even more easier. There is no need to take such a risk and reason with Katherine about Olivia's grandfather. 

It would cause unnecessary questions and Brina had to answer them. But, now, it's made easier. 

So, her plan got shifted on to Phoebe, the only left ally of 'great' Olivia. 

"But it's difficult to trap her. Alpha Academy is strict about violation of rules. So, Olivia could no longer use her dirty tricks." Brina said. 

"Shit!! how will we be able to manage, then?'' Hailey asked. 

"Leave that to me, Brina. I will get you some exclusive information about Phoebe" Charlotte said. 

"Sure?" Brina asked. 

"Very sure!" Charlotte answered. 

Brina couldn't help but smile. 

Now, she is no longer alone. 

Charlotte is helping her. Remus is back. 

Morgana will be helping her in other matters too. 

On the other side, even Ethan is trying to get solid proofs on Olivia. 

Now, Brina has a huge family and loyal friends on whom she finally could rely on. 

When God takes away something from us, he would give it back in one or other form. All we have to do is realize it and select the right path. 

…..

After discussing some things, Charlotte and Hailey left. 

Hailey went to Brina as many books as possible from the library while Charlotte got busy on her research called, 'how to trap Phoebe'.  

"Though I am aware of history and other matters, I still have to catch up with the current affairs of all the Kingdoms" Brina muttered to herself. 

It will be impossible for her to gather all the information now. So, she needs someone to teach her or discuss with her about these matters. 

And, the perfect person she could think of was  Louis and Remus. They will surely be aware of each and every thing related to Kingdoms. 

'Lemme started revising the history so that I could ask Louis or Remus to tell me about recent facts' she thought before going for a quick bath. 

After a few minutes, Brina came out in a bathrobe. She actually thought of preparing Louis's favorite dinner, however, she has so much to study. 

So, she decided to make some simple dinner. Thinking of it, she walked towards the kitchen in her suite but stopped abruptly when she saw someone sitting on the couch. 

"Remus!! What the fuck are you doing in my suite? How could you come without any notice?" Brina shouted. She is still in her bathrobe, dammit!
