Trinity

I just had to ignore the fact that they were acting like they couldn't handle simple words. I was going to move on and keep talking. If they couldn't keep up, that was on them. If they messed up afterwards, it was on them to deal with the consequences that might follow.

"From this day forward, all of your lives will be different in some way. For one, you are all now a noble within the court. The status of noble is going to be given to those who run a clan, coven, or pack. The ranking you receive will depend on different factors, and it will determine the types of jobs you have within the inner machinations of the system. All of you will need to follow the royal law, and the provisions that we set down."

That caused a stir to run through the room. They really didn't seem up to following my new laws. I could tell that there were several of them that wanted to say something to me about it all.

"I sense that many of you are not happy, is there something wrong?" Another stir, but still the unease from before. "If there is a question about the previous statements, you may ask them now."

As I watched, I saw five hands move until they were held up in the air. Some were more confident than the others, and their hands were all the way up, the others were more timid and barely raised them, which was better than the ones that wanted to raise their hands, but were too scared to.

"You." I pointed to the one closest to the front, timidly holding their hand in the air. "What is your name, species, and question?" The woman who I called on was very pretty with a deeply tanned complexion and brilliant crystal green eyes. She looked quite exotic and mysterious with a mix of black and bright colors in her clothes. The clothes themselves were also unique. A long flowing skirt, a scarf, and a shirt that showed most of her midriff, and all of it seemed to be made of exotic silks and other luxurious materials.

"M..my name is Daciana, and I am a Gypsy. Queen Trinity, what sort of laws will we be forced to follow?" Ahh, that explained some of what I had been wondering about her. And judging by the accent that Daciana had I would place her from somewhere in Europe near Bulgaria or Romania.

"Daciana, I am afraid that I cannot answer that just yet. We are still ironing out details, however, there will be a council that will be tasked with helping with the creation of laws. That council will need to be filled with one male and one female from each group. I will be taking recommendations as well as applications from those who think they are up to the job, or those you think might be up to the challenge."

Another stir went through the room and three of the hands in the air lowered almost instantly. Was their question answered or were they too scared to speak now. There was still one hand though, someone who was still willing to speak, and this person's hand was up all the way.

The man whose hand was still up could only be a Djinn or a Genie. OK, that was wrong of me to assume, but come on, he was wearing blue and green silk arabian clothes with black cloth under it all that looked like he just walked out of the kids movie. The clothes were layered and beautiful.

"You have a question as well?" I asked the man who was standing with his hand held high in the air.

"Yes, Queen Trinity." His accent was there, but it didn't make it so I couldn't understand him at all. It did, however, make him sound mysterious and exciting. "My name is Rahim Zayn, I am a Djinn, and I want to know more about the council that you are talking about." His words were direct, and he didn't falter at all.

"Of course, Rahim. I want the council to help with not only the selection of the laws, but to also help us to govern the world of the supernaturals. Those of us that have lived in the shadows for so long cannot leave this all up to one person. We need to have representatives to discuss what is important to them all."

"So, we will have a say in this so that our people don't suffer." He sounded like he wanted to do nothing more than to protect the others.

'Gabriel.' I called out to him in my head. 'What kind of person is Rahim? Can we trust him?'

I asked this because if he was someone that we didn't need to worry about, he would make a fine addition to the council.

'I believe we can trust him, milady. We can always give him a trial period on the council.' He answered back immediately.

'That is true.' As I looked at Rahim, I thought about the council and how happy I was to possibly have someone else to help fill it up.

"One more down." I whispered to myself.

We continued to talk more about what they all wanted to know before the meeting was concluded. There was one last thing that I needed to tell them though.

"I will be holding meetings with you all individually soon. This will happen this afternoon in my office. I will assign you all your noble rankings and take any applications or suggestions for the council positions."

I rose first, and they all bowed once again. Reece took my hand and started to lead me from the room. I heard Gabriel speaking to the gathered magic users as we walked.

"I will divide you all into smaller groups, and I will take you all to see the Queen in groups. You may explore the first floor of the castle or return to your rooms. Since the rooms are numbered I will take you all based on that. Rooms four hundred and one through four hundred and ten will be first. I will take you all in groups of ten until all two hundred of you have had your chance to meet with the Queen."

I couldn't be more thankful for Gabriel, he truly was the most efficient person that I could have asked for. He brought the people to me and helped me to gauge if they were trustworthy or not. Several of them were ready to volunteer for the job, but I think they just wanted to be important. There were others like Rahim that seemed to be the right person for the job even without them asking for it.

In fact, when I suggested to Rahim that he be on the council, he was hesitant at first. It seems that he was going to suggest someone else, but I told him that I wanted someone with his passion and his sense of loyalty to his people. In the end, he agreed.

I had gotten all the people I needed after that. The witches and warlocks were already accounted for so I didn't need to find someone among them, and the witch doctors were being represented by another group. I took two Gypsies, two Djinn, and two Genies to finish them all.

Daciana and a man named Razvan were the Gypsies, Rahim and Gaeti were the Djinn, Nadeen and Lahan were the names of the Genies that were joining us. After a full day of meetings and interviews, I was finally done.

I had worked hard to get them all done so that I could dismiss all but the council members. The ranks were given, and they knew what to expect for the current future. And now, it was time for me to go up to the tower and spend time with my family.

This Queen stuff was becoming a full time job.
