Chapter 447 - Trinity - Rise Of The Kingdom Part 2 (VOLUME 3)

Trinity

~~

Once we were all seated in my office, the meeting could officially begin. I couldn't help but notice that Athair mór had put a throne, or the equivalence of one, at my desk. I know that most of the castle was actually made in my image, with the things that I was imagining. However, Athair mór admitted that since there was not enough furniture to start with he helped us out with supplying some of the missing items with his magic and imagination. I appreciated it, but should my office chair really be a fucking throne?

"Well, I guess I should be the one to get this started." I smiled at them. Athair mór, conveniently, had met us at the elevator and was joining the meeting with us so that he could provide Fae input. And at that moment, he raised his hand to interject.

"If you want to be technical, my dear, Reece would start it as you have the highest status, or that is how the Fae do it. This is, however, your kingdom, and if the Queen wishes to start these meetings, then she will. Gloriana, who isn't supposed to do it, does start them quite often." I saw the laughter in his eyes as he thought about it. "You know what, gariníon, you do what you want to do. This is your place." He grinned and put down his hand.

"Thank you, Athair mór." I did appreciate him trying to educate me on court-type politics. "Now, the reason that I have called all of you here is that I am ready to build the kingdom that we will all be living in. What that truly means is that I need to set up the councils, positions, and laws that everyone will need to abide by."

"Is there going to be that much that changes?" Crawford raised his hand just like Athair mór had before he spoke.

"Not all that much. In truth, most of the clans and species will not see very many changes, but there might be a few things that I need to go over with some of them." I kept my voice neutral as I tried to think about all of the things that were in my mind.

"It is entirely up to the Queen to make whatever changes she wants." Gabriel spoke up as he stood behind me like a retainer instead of an assistant. I think he liked this whole castle thing so it could make him seem more official in his duties.

"You are completely right." Crawford nodded at him. "I didn't mean to imply otherwise."

Everyone looked at Gabriel with wide eyes, but they didn't say anything. All of the men here knew how seriously Gabriel took his job, most of the time. There was that incident the other day where he was a little too interested in Roisin to pay attention fully, but I forgave him. Finding your mate when you're about to turn six hundred and ninety-four was definitely something special. And that mate was also no spring chicken as well since she was a Fae.

"Trinity, if I may, what is this council that you mentioned to us? And what rankings are you planning to implement?" Riley brought us back to topic. "I think that is where we need to start."

"Of course." I smiled at him and then started to explain it all to them.

The council itself would consist of about twenty-four individuals. They would be my council that helps me to make decisions. No offense to anyone in the world, at all, but I really don't think that I should truly have full control and absolute power over what basically amounted to almost three billion people in all, if not more. This wasn't something that I was able to just play around with. There were people's lives and futures to deal with.

The council was going to have two representatives from all of the major species. If something was a subcategory then they would be represented by the larger faction, such as witch doctors represented by witches and warlocks and Sirens represented by the Merfolk. I also wanted to include the Vampires and Fae so that we had a fair representation of the entire supernatural world.

Aside from Gabriel, Reece, and myself everyone here was a member of this new council, and for that matter, they were now part of the ranking of Grand Nobles within my new kingdom. The Grand Noble rank would only be filled with the council members. They would hold special rankings because they would help make decisions. 

The next rank after Grand Nobles were the High Nobles. Those would be the wolves that had more than seven hundred and fifty members in their pack or a feline pack with four hundred or more and so on for the other groups of people that had less members altogether. From there we went down to the Central Nobles, which would make up the majority of the ranks, and below them were the Ancillary Nobles who consisted of very small pack leaders, fealty pack leaders, and others of the sort.

The nobles would be expected to come to meetings at selected times of the year. For  now, we're starting with quarterly meetings, but we could talk about it later. Perhaps only the larger packs or higher ranked nobles would need to attend, and they could first visit the lower ranks before coming to the meetings.

We would come up with the different laws and rules and cement them once I had the full council assembled. And to do that I needed to get ideas about who to choose. I asked them all if they had any ideas of who we could add and what to do.

"Well, if you need a female wolf to fill in, then I vote for Rawlynne." Shawn was the first to speak. "I may not be on the council, but that is my choice."

"Thank you Shawn, and we're not in a meeting of just council members now so your opinion is more than fine. By the way, you and the kids are also Grand Nobles now too. It's something that counts for family members." I winked at him, and he blushed.

From there we all started to discuss it. Leelin, Doc's new mate out in California with Star and Artem would be coming in for the witch side of it all. Dietrich gave an idea for the vampire side. Trevor and Landon each suggested someone for their sides, and Athair mór suggested a Fae.

Once that was done, I asked them all if they knew anyone who would want to come and work in the castle. We desperately needed to fill this place with a staff quickly. They all seemed to know some people who would be willing and interviews were due to start in a few days.

Now, I needed to call in the leaders of all the other clans and Alphas to all the other shifters. We needed to get this ball rolling, and fast. I wasn't about to just sit idly by and let things happen. Not anymore. I was going to be a true Queen to my people.. It had been nearly two years since I found out what I was, and I wasn't going to waste any more time.
