Queen of the Cold Castle

Chapter Twenty-Three:

A few days had passed since the whole Rafal fiasco, even though the end result had turned out well it had taken a great toll on the students and faculty. As a celebration the schools had decided to host an end of school ball which was quickly closing in, both Nevers and Evers had to attend along with the respected staff members.

Currently the main body of faculty were in a long tiring meeting in the Evers castle, myself and Lesso were sat next to each other who relationship was now known. Opposite me sat professor anemone who was visibly bored along with professor Dovey who's beautiful face which was usually always cheerful had been replaced with a deep frown and snappy voice. "This brings us back to who will now govern the schools, now that both headmaster are no longer with us" Professor Dovey exclaimed, "What about co-headmasters or headmistresses technically, yourself Dovey and Lesso?" I suggested ready to leave this room. "I don't know Y/n. It's a lot of work to be a headmaster not to mention still being deans of our schools" Dovey half-smiled.
"I agree Y/n. It would be a lot of added work, there needs to be a sole member of staff for the role which only focus is the running. Someone who won't be too biased." Lesso stated whilst playing with my rings to distract herself from her own discomfort of this meeting.

"Okay, was there a previous member of staff, Dean or even a student that could be brought in?" I asked hoping to the gods there was. "Mmm one talented individual comes to mind" Dovey grinned as Lesso caught on to the particular person. "Ah yes I agree, they are a Never however they have always shown a certain good side. I believe they will be unbiased and do the school a great justice. I mean they practically done it already" Lesso smirked watching my every move however the only thing my face showed was utter confusion as to why they weren't mentioning a name. "That's true they have done it before with great skill and improved the school of Evil, no offence Lesso." Anemone chuckled earning a scoff from Lesso. "Well who is this person?" I snapped with frustration which made most of the room chuckle.
"Y/n, my dear. The person is you" Clarissa finally stated, "What? Me? You taking the piss? What makes you think I could do it, I've been a Dean for less than year and only just managed that. Plus isn't my relationship with Lesso I conflict of interest" I blurted out. "Y/n. You would be wonderful at the job, you ran my school easily even-though you were dealing with my 'death'. Not mention your extremely powerful and have clearly shown you can protect our school even from one of your own." Lesso explained edging on the idea. "Lesso is right. You would be excellent and as for the conflict of interest, I believe your judgment. I hope you will do what is best for the schools and not be persuaded incorrectly" dovey remarked raising an eyebrow towards the redhead earning a playful smirk from the pair of us.

"Great, now that is sorted. As the new headmaster this meeting is finally concluded, for the rest of the day relax and have fun setting up for the ball." I announced grinning, slowly getting up from my chair indicating that everyone can and should now go. "Finally!" Anemone huffed scurrying out the door followed my the rest of the faculty untill only myself and Lesso remained. "Do you really think can do this?" I questioned gently placing myself on the table, "Of course my little troubler maker. I wouldn't of suggested you otherwise. You will do brilliantly, you held up my school. Improved it even, not that I would admit it to anyone else." She chuckled whilst moving inbetween my legs wrapping her long arms around my waist. "Awww my soft little dean. You love me" i joked earning a scoff and a scarastic eyeroll, "I suppose i must love you." She chuckled before placing a tender kiss upon my forehead which is were we remained, in each others embrace.

The day of the ball was finally upon us, Lesso and I had agreed not to show each others outfit until just before. I had decided to go with a dress which mixed both school asethic, the top half of the dress was black lace with slight red underlining piercing through to signify the school of evil and also Leonora herself. The bottom of was slightly puffy fabric with a navy blue colour that went all the way down to the floor, it had layers of fabric making it seem very Ever. It was an interesting contrast however it seemed to work, it was appropriate and went with both schools which was perfect for my new role.
