Chapter 147 Private conference Room (1)
Alessia’s POV
The rest of the meal is eaten without any more interruptions. After breakfast, we go with Enya to her quarters. She leads gracefully as usual, and we follow close behind I hold on to my girls Lucy on my right and Angelica on my left while the Men bring up the rear. Once we enter into her private chambers she leads us through a corridor into another door on her right which opens up to a small conference room with about a dozen chairs and a wide oak table. We pick out seats Alex seated on my right followed by Angelica. Lucy and Luca are seated opposite while Enya settles at the head.
“Now you can talk freely.” Enya says opening up the floor.
Calculating woman, she knew I had things to say and made sure I did not say it in public.
I lean on my hunches
“Enya why didn't you tell me everything?”I ask
She lifts her brows in surprise “What didn't I tell you, Princess?”
I scoff so we have to do this the hard way then since she is still in denial.
“Why didn't you tell me I am Naturas last living descendant?”
The room falls silent, I hear Angelica’s audible exhale and Alex tenses beside me. They all didn't know I was going to confront her so ot comes as a bit of a shock to them too..
Luca leans back in his chair “Oh this is going to be good.”
We all focus on her waiting for her response.My heart is racing and I reach under the table to grasp Alex's hand for courage, for support, for strength, for warmth and most especially for love,
Enya is unfazed she does not even blink or bat an eye “Who told you this?” She says evenly
Still trying to mince words
“Is it not the fact? I really do not know why are you beating around the bush.”
She smirks “And how, do tell did you arrive at this fact?”
Lucy speaks up before I can answer “Enya it is a well-known fact that the Molano witches are the direct descendants of Natura. Isn’t that why Alessia is called the Last Princess!” She pauses “It is public coven knowledge.”
Enya watches Lucy with cold eyes “Be careful Lucy, what you are your doing can be considered insubordination!”
Lucy doesn't back down and I love her for it “Stating facts can never be considered insubordination, I am just being through.”
Alex squeezes my hand once as I take a deep breaths to control my emotions .Enya takes a quick glance around the room “So you are all aware and belief this fact?”
“No Enya” Alex says “Evidence supports this fact.”
My pulse picks up
Is she really going to try and deny this?
Enya's eyes flash with something akin to a challenge before it disappears “So even if what you say is true, what will you do?”
What will I do? I will stand for the truth that's what. I turn to her eyes flashing gold “For one You will not treat me like a child or guest any more I want to be in the know about all coven activities.”
“In the know?” She repeats slowly as if she is hard on hearing.
“Yes Enya, you deliberately kept that information from me.”
She bangs the table with her fingers making me jump back a bi. “There was never a good time, you were not ready.”
She fires heatedly
“And who gave you the right to decide that I retort back?”
“I am the high priestess of this coven”she says firmly “I have every right”
For now
Not for ever
“Point of correction” I mumble “This coven was built by Natura and therefore it actually belongs to her bloodline!”
She shrinks in her chair as if I had struck her
Alex rubs circles around my wrists now
Soothing the fire.
Turning to Luca he seems to be shifting uneasily in his seat probably the rising tension in the room making him squirm.
Enya narrows her eyes at me coldly “Ha! What make you think Blood alone can grant you authority in a Coven?”
I tilt my head at her “Blood alone may not”
I say “But it does grant me some standing.”
Lucy cuts in once more “Enya the Princess is right”
Enya turns to her giving her a frosty look “Lucy you have no right to undermine me in my own private chambers.”
I am sure she wanted to add coven but she didn't because I will call her out on it.
Power hungry witch
“Enya I am not doing that” Lucy replies smoothly “But the truth must be said.”
“So you Lucy” Enya waves at her angrily “have you switched allegiance now? You will follow them into that death trap La Genebva?”
“I will” Lucy answers without a moments of pause
I am tempted to laugh as I notice the bewildered look she gives Lucy but I bite my inner cheek instead now is not the time.
Angelica straightening smiles at Lucy “All of us are.”
Luca nods “We are family we move together”
Alexs voice is like an echo is the room “Alessia will never walk alone.”
The tension increases subtly as Enya briefly studies each one of them
“All of you are encouraging a reckless move” she says
Luca shakes his head “That is not what we are doing, we want to correct Thomas' mistakes.”
Angelicas adds “and by so doing stop the bloodshed.”
“That has nothing to do with you or this coven” Enya snaps eyes flashing grey I can tell she is on the brink of losing her temper .
“It is our responsibility Enya because La Rosa is involved and it was created by this coven” I say wearily
We are all quiet for a few minutes. “Princess do you feel La Rosa is yours” Enya challenges
“I just feel a sense of responsibility because I was guarding it when it was taken” I pause having a brief flashback of that ill-fated night “And it was created by my ancestor” I reply “I want to entrust it to the original owner to achieve that you must give me the hidden records.”
Alex tenses as he lets out a sharp breath
“What if I refuse to give you the records?” Enya asks quietly
“We will take it without your blessing” Luca says bluntly and I turn to him give him an encouraging grin. Leaning back I await her next move.
