《Alive bond》The best of them all

First Pov
I don't think running through the corridors wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt is what is considered "royal behaviour",even by today's standards,but I couldn't care less.I was already late and it is considered highly inappropriate for a Queen to be late in her own meetings,even emergency ones.
When I finally reached the meeting room , I threw the doors open. My sisters and the other members of the council were staring at me. I must be sweating as well.
"Your Majesty what happened?",Paela asked me concerned
"You are asking me? I was in the middle of something very important when I suddenly learned of this meeting. So what is the emergency?",I was getting frustrated by this point
Irini started playing her fingers while looking down at her lap
"Actually,sister,there is no emergency. We just received the results from Angelica's energy tests and since we were all available we decided to discuss them right now. I didn't know you were busy but I felt you were at the corners of the multiverse so I thought to describe this meeting as urgent because you would be really late otherwise.There was time however for you to change in a more "proper" attire.",Irini said quietly
I will get angry with her later but now I was just relieved and so I went and sat at my throne.
"Fine. Let me see those readings."
An energy test is nothing more than a measurement of someone's energy levels in multiple categories. After that the results are usually discussed by the Priestesses and compared to the highest known energy levels.
Angelica's results seemed normal for someone her age and class. Then,I saw that the scale that was normally used had been doubled. That meant that Angelica was roughly twice as powerful as a normal four class. Not only that but also the diagram is not printed but hand made. Why didn't they use one of our latest machines and they had to connect a Priestess with Angelica to do the test like 10.000 years ago?

"The machine exploded.",answered Paela who probably saw my curiosity written all over my face
"It's true. We tried to use our energy measurer couldnt handle this energy because it isn't programmed to measure such big numbers.",Irini added
"Then this means that Angelica is the strongest four class we have encountered so far. That explains why the Shadows want so desperately to kill her. If she were to take control of all the Four Class then that would greatly strengthen their unity
which will protect them in the future. That is a very pleasant development."
The rest of the council however didn't seem to share my joy and enthusiasm.They were looking at each other as if they were debating on who will announce me something unpleasant.
Andromeda at the end was the most brave.
"Eve,we have a problem. Her powers are great without a doubt but her knowledge and experience are very limited.We are not sure we have the time necessary to prepare her accordingly.Normally teaching a carrier takes years. We can teach her the basics but she would still be vulnerable. And we can't protect her from the Shadows for long. The peace treaty clearly states that the Shadows are allowed to try to kill the rulers of the Classes."
"Yes,I remember that paragraph. We agreed to that because whoever survived would have the strength and resilience to rule a whole Class. Without them knowing,the Shadows agreed to "choose" the rulers for us. Back to the matter at hand I think you should take advantage of the fact that the Shadows will be preoccupied for some time and teach Angelica all that we can."
"That is a bit strange,don't you think? I have heard of the youngest Prince's unfortunate demise but I would expect them to be busy organising the funeral and finding a replacement. I don't see how that gives us time.",June said with doubt in her voice.

"From what I gathered Haures is not emotionally stable right now and with the political turmoils that have arisen I doubt Angelica is his main priority right now."
I tried to convince her but unfortunately I was unsuccessful
"Since when Haures let his emotions affect his work? You are being mysteriously vague despite the fact that you had a meeting with the Dark Queen."
"She was vague as well."
"She came all this way,in such a hurry,only to leave without telling you anything? I accept the fact that the Queen is entitled to her secrets but I thought you would have the intelligence to hide them a little better."
"I have told you everything you need to know. I know that hiding information of political significance from the council is considered treason. I am intelligent enough to understand that. Are you?"
"Maybe you have confused your casual talkings from the official meetings.At least when you talk to the Princes."
"Are you implying something?"
"You are smart enough to know what i mean. Are you,though?"
"Enough June. Dont forget you are talking to the Great Queen in a council meeting.",Andromeda intervened angrily
As much as I was enjoying roasting June it was obvious the atmosphere has become much too tense for this meeting to continue.
"Ok. I think this meeting has served its purpose. Irini will personally tutor Angelica and we will keep a close eye on the Shadows for a while."
As I was making my way towards the corridor Mary grabbed my hand and pulled me aside.
"Listen Eve,I know we arent as close as we were in your previous life but that doesnt mean I consider you a bad Queen. You are playing a very dangerous game. You are helping the Princes too much and you are lying to the Council. If June finds out about this she can propose your removal from the throne. And you know she can be very persuasive."
"Thank you for your concern Mary but I must help. The stability of the multiverse is at stake. I will not put my people at risk because of June not liking me. I promise to be careful. All I want is for you and Andromeda to try and cooperate. It is essential that any trace,energy or otherwise,of Haures's condition is hidden from everyone. And I have a feeling I will need both of your advices as the year progresses."
She didn't respond,just nodded and we both exited the throne room with worried looks on our faces.
