Chapter 37

"Victor Dashkov."

"I always thought that it was a bit fishy that no one was injured in that crash except for him. And that no one could identify the people that helped them out of that transport truck."

He gave a one shouldered shrug.

"Like I said; no one harms, threatens to harm or mistreats my child and gets away with it. No one." He emphasized the last two words with a low dangerous and menacing growl.

"All right Abe, you do whatever you see fit to Kirova. Alberta, can you have her room packed up? If there is anything of value in it have it sold..." She paused for a moment then turned to Roza.

"Rose would you consider creating and running a charity for the dhampir and moroi who have been victims of sexual assault and abuse? At least until you take the throne and when you take the throne I will take over running the charity."

"I would be proud to your majesty."

"Please, call me aunt Tati Rose, that goes for you as well Dimitri." Roza and I both nodded.

"Alberta please have anything of value that you find in Kirova's room or office, that doesn't belong to the academy, sold. And the money donated to the charity that Rose will be running. I will also make a yearly donation of two and a half million dollars."

"Of course, your majesty."

"And I will make a matching donation every year." Abe insisted.

"Any idea about what you will call it Rose?"

My Roza sat there and thought for a moment then I saw a spark ignite in her beautiful brown eyes.

"Haven House. Because that is exactly what we will be. A haven for all of those who have been mistreated."

"What a wonderful name." Tatiana gave a huge proud smile.

"We should also tell you that Kirova did try to kill Rose earlier today." Abe informed Tatiana.

"What?!!! She did what now?!! When?!! How?!!! Why?!!!!"

"She took three feeders from the feeding rotation, Dimitri had asked for feeders earlier for Rose. Anyway, Kirova took three feeders out of rotation specifically for Rose. Then she poisoned all three of them with cyanide. I am guessing that it was rat poison unless the chemistry lab here has actual cyanide in it. I know that she did this in the hopes that when Rose fed from the feeders the cyanide would kill her too."

"My God, again why would she risk doing something like that?"

"I think, that it's because now that Rose is a princess she has a reliable reputation. And people will be more willing to listen to what she has to say. And because of this Kirova is afraid of this very conversation taking place."

"Before you take her off campus, Abe. I want all five of us to confront her." Tatiana picked up her phone and started dialing.

"Olivia, would you come in here please? Thank you very much dear."

No one said a word each left to our own thoughts. And in less than five minutes Olivia Hayes, one of Tatiana's assistants, walked through the door.

"You wanted to see me your majesty?"

"Yes, Olivia. Would you please contact the headmistress and ask her to come here in fifteen minutes?"

"Yes, of course, your majesty."

Olivia walked away dialing her phone. When she hung up she turned back to Tatiana, "she will be here in fifteen minutes. Would you like for me to stay your majesty?"
