Imposter

"In fact I am not Adrian at all" he said

"What do you mean you are not Adrian?" asked Stella

"You know for the Vice Chancellor, you really don't hear well" chuckled Adrian

"I am not your precious Adrian" he said

"Then who are you?" asked Stella

"Why don't you find out yourself?" he said

"Revelare" said Stella as she waved her hand

"Took you long enough" he said as his features changed, his hair changed from brown to black, his nose became larger and his eyes too, the only thing that didn't change about him was his height.

"As you can see, I am not Adrian, my name is Blaise" said Blaise, he didn't see any point in hiding anymore, since he had already been captured, he was going to accept his fate without struggling.

"So you were the one who poisoned Maddie?" asked Stella

"Yes I was the one who poisoned her" said Blaise

"Why?" asked Stella

"Well she deserves to die, she betrayed my master Azazel, there is not room for a selfish and spoilt heir" said Blaise.

"What type of poison did you use?" asked Stella

"The simple kind, I never added it into her food, because I would have been caught easily, but rather, I added it to her drinks and especially when you were not present" explained Blaise honestly.

"How long have you been poisoning her?" asked Stella

"For the past 2 weeks" said Blaise

"Then where is the real Adrian?" asked Stella

"I don't know probably dead" said Blaise casually

"Then when did you start impersonating him?" asked Stella

"It was 4 years ago, during the Quies Conference, Adrian was left alone and he was not on guard, and we were able to capture him, I was then assigned to impersonate him, and work my way into the Palace, which I had been doing very well, until I slipped up" explained Blaise honestly.

"I see" said Stella calmly.

It was not like she was not surprised, not it was actually the exact opposite, how could she have been working with an imposter for 4 years and she had never noticed, the thought alone scared her, she always thought that he was her Personal Assistant Adrian, to think that any of these days he could have killed her if he wanted.

"May I make a request Chancellor?" asked Blaise

"What is it?" asked Stella

"I want my death to be clean and quick" said Blaise

"Who said that you were going to die?" asked Stella

"But I impersonated a high Council official, which is punishable by death" said Blaise, it seemed like he was already ready to die.

"Well I will not kill you, I still need some information from you" said Stella

"NO, I would rather die than be a snitch" said Blaise

"Well unfortunately for you, we will keep you alive for as long as we want" said Stella

"Mira, lock him up in the grave cells" said Stella as she walked away

"Yes My Chancellor" said Mira as she came into the room and bowed.

"No, you can't leave me here, I want to die" said Blaise as he shouted, but Stella paid no attention to him, she had better things to do.

Meanwhile in Annie and Maddie's room

"It's already night time and Maddie is still not awake yet" said Evie

"I know right?" said Annie

"But mom said that she would wake up soon" said Evie as she poked Maddie's cheek, she would not have been able to do that if Maddie was awake.

"I am sure that she will" said Matt

"Hehe, Maddie looks so cute when she's sleeping, unlike when she's awake" said Evie as she poked Maddie's cheek once more.

"Umm, I don't think that you should do that, Maddie wouldn't like it" said Annie

"I know, but she looks so helpless, that I just have too" said Evie as she laughed and kept on poking her cheek.

"This is better than her always being mean" said Evie

But little did Evie know that her series of actions, caused Maddie to feel uncomfortable, and she felt an urge to slap away the hand of the person poking her, which she did.

"Who dares poke my cheek???" she said as she opened her eyes, and her hand caught the hand of the person who was poking her.

"Eeeek" said Evie as she jumped back in fright, she did not expect Maddie to wake up so soon.

"Ahh Maddie, your awake!!" said Annie as she walked over to Maddie's bed.

"You made us so worried, how are you feeling?" asked Annie

"Well I am feeling fine" said Maddie as she rested her back on the headboard of the bed.

"Evie why were you poking me??" asked Maddie

"Ahh well, there was something on your cheek and I was just dusting it off for you" said Evie as she lied

"Mhmmm" said Maddie

"Thank you" said Maddie softly

"What?" asked Evie

"Thank you" repeated Maddie

"Oh your welcome" said Evie, she was confused was Maddie thanking her for removing the non- existent smudge on her cheek or was she thanking for for something else?

"Hey everyone" said Levi as he entered the room

"Ahh Levi, you are here" said Evie

"Haha yes, I finally finished my punishment, it was the worst 5 hours of my life" said Levi

"Anyway, Maddie, you are awake how are you?" asked Levi as he noticed that Maddie was finally fine.

"Haha Levi, I am fine, thank you" said Maddie as she laughed.

"So Maddie can you tell us why you fainted?" asked Annie

"Well I'm not sure, there I was talking to Evie, when I suddenly felt dizzy and the next thing I know, I started feeling pain in my stomach and I fell down, and the rest is history" explained Maddie

"That's weird" said Annie

"Yes it is" said Maddie

"Well as long as you are feeling better now" said Matt

"Haha yes I am" said Maddie

"Welp I have to go turn in my punishment, Goodnight everyone" said Levi

"Haha okay Levi" said Maddie

"Bye Levi, Goodnight" said Annie

"Ahhh, wait I'm coming with you" said Evie

"Why?" asked Levi

"You know, just to spectate" said Evie as she smiled

"Ugh, you know what, just do what you want" said Levi

"Hehe Yayyyy" said Evie as she followed behind Levi

"See you later, guys" said Evie

"Bye Evie" said Annie

"Well Goodnight" said Matt

"Awww Matt, your leaving too?" asked Maddie

"Haha yes, I have to go check on the twins" said Matt

"Well okay, Goodnight" said Maddie

"Haha Goodnight" said Annie as she smiled and Matt left the room.

"So how was your day?" asked Maddie

"Well it was good-ish Professor Sapiens was weirder than usual, he started asking me questions" said Annie

"What kind of questions?" asked Maddie

"Questions about me and Matt, and all that" said Annie

"That is weird" said Maddie

"Maybe-" said Maddie as she was cut off by another person's voice

"Knock Knock, may I come in?" asked Stella as she knocked on the open door.

"Ahh Aunt Stella, of course you can" said Annie as she smiled.

"Haha Thank you" said Stella

"Awww Maddie dear, how are you doing? I heard what happened" said Stella

"I am doing fine Aunt Stella, Thank you for asking" said Maddie as she smiled

"Oh dear, why won't I ask?" said Stella as she laughed.

"Aunt Stella, did you know that Maddie was poisoned?" asked Annie

"Well yes dear, I did" said Stella

"And have you find out who poisoned her?" asked Annie

"Ahh well dear, for now that's not important, all that's important is that Maddie recovers quickly" said Stella

"Okay Aunt" said Annie

It was not like Stella wanted to keep the truth from Annie and Maddie, but it would just make them worry if they found out that Adrian was actually an imposter all along, and they would not trust anyone anymore.

Which come to think of it, she needed to increase the security in the Palace and interrogate the other staffs, just in case of another imposter, who knew if that guy named Blaise had recruited some of his people to come work in the Palace.

And on top of that she also needed a new Personal Assistant, this was all just too much for one day.

"So dear, how are your lessons with Professor Sapiens?" asked Stella

"Haha they are going well" said Annie as she laughed.

"Really? well that's nice" said Stella

"Haha yes it is" laughed Annie

"Well girls, I am sorry but I will have to leave you now, I have some things to attend to" said Stella

"Okay Aunt Stella" said Maddie

"Bye Aunt Stella" said Annie as she smiled.

"Bye girls" said Stella as she walked out of the room.

"Mira, have you dropped off the imposter in the grave Prison?" asked Stella in her mind.

"Yes I have, my Chancellor" came the swift reply of Mira

"Good, please call Professor Sapiens and Captious to my office for me" said Stella

"Yes My Chancellor, but Professor Sapiens has already left" said Mira

"Alright then, but call Captious for me" said Stella

"Yess My Chancellor" said Mira

"Thank you Mira" Said Stella

"You are welcome my Chancellor" said Stella
