Chapter 492 - Trinity – Cancelling The Festivities (VOLUME 3)

~~

Trinity

~~

The first thing that I did the next morning was get up and get dressed as quickly as I could. I wasn't going to be wearing a dress today. I was going to be busy tracking down a killer, so I needed to be able to move freely. Today I was wearing a pair of blue jeans, a dark gray t-shirt, and a pair of hiking boots that were dark green and black.

Before anyone could even ask, I had to tell them that no, we did not pack these clothes and bring them with us. I had conjured the clothes with my own magic. These were brought straight out of my mind and put directly onto me, I didn't even have to actually 'get dressed'.

I skipped breakfast, opting to eat later. I had work to do right now, and I could talk to Aunt Glory while she was eating her breakfast. My guards and knights, as well as my husband, were all a little shocked to see me striding right out the door without them..

"Dammit Trinity, wait up." Reece called out as he shoved the rest of his food into his mouth and kissed Reagan and Rika goodbye.

"Trinity?" Vincent was running out the door before Reece had even gotten to it.

"My Queen." Gabriel was chasing after me as well. "Please wait." Landon and Trevor also rose from their chairs and followed me but they did so without saying anything at all.

All three of them were out the door and chasing after me in a very undignified manor.

"The five of you did not need to chase me." I stopped and looked at them with a little bit of anger in my eyes. Sometimes, I would just like to be able to do something alone.

"Trinity, you're the Queen. You need us there to protect you." Trevor's words annoyed me. I knew that it was just the anger and stress from the night before that was truly annoying me, but I was taking it out on his words.

"No, Trevor, I do not need any of you to protect me. I am more than capable of protecting myself." I made my point by levitating them off the floor a few inches before I turned around and stalked away.

After that, I let them down gently, of course, since I didn't want to hurt them. But that little show of mine still didn't make them leave me alone. They were still following me; I just sighed and resigned myself to this fate.

"Trinity, no one said you couldn't protect yourself." Landon spoke from behind me, but I didn't stop to look at him. "It's just that you shouldn't have to."

"I know that, Landon, I really do. But that does not mean that I have to like it at all times. Sometimes, I think it would be nice to go somewhere without an entourage."

"You know that's not truly an option." This time it was Vincent who spoke, and I know he was just trying to remind me of it, but it pissed me off.

"I know." I snapped at him, my anger flowing freely. I planned to channel that anger of mine into finding the asshole who was behind all this shit going on here.

As I continued to stalk down the hall to Aunt Glory's room, I did my best to ignore the fact that the five of them were staring holes into my back. This was a little odd as well though, usually they were surrounding me, protecting me. I hadn't led a group of people like this in years. It was nice, actually. I don't want to say that it made me feel even more powerful, having these five big strong men at my back as if I was protecting them instead of them protecting me, but it did give me a sense of satisfaction.

When I made it to where Aunt Glory was, I told the guard to let her know that I needed to see her and that there was no time to waste. He seemed a little scared of me when he saw the look on my face, that made me wonder how pissed off I looked. Still, he ran into the room and informed Aunt Glory of what I had said. He was back in less than a minute.

"Th..the Queen will see you now." His voice only trembled a little as he spoke.

I didn't chance saying anything else to him. I didn't want to make him wet himself or anything. I just strode past him and the men at my back followed me immediately.

"Trinity? What is wrong so early in the morning?" I saw Aunt Glory sitting at her table, eating her breakfast. It was a more normal looking meal than I had been expecting: pancakes, poached eggs, and what looked like bacon and sausage.

"We need to get to work, Aunt Glory. There is no time to waste."

"That is true." She nodded her head and looked behind me at the men that had come with me. "Good morning, Trevor." She lit up when she saw him, he was her mate after all.

"Good morning, my love." His words were soft and his voice was deep. It was clear that he was trying to sound seductive.

"Ah-hem." I cleared my throat and got her attention.

"Yes, yes. We need to work. Can I finish eating at least?" She laughed when she asked me that. "I will summon Valerian here as well. We can work this out together. I am sure that-." I ended up interrupting her, I couldn't help it

"I already have a plan. All we need to do now is set it into motion. First off, you need to notify the people that the festivities are cancelled. I recommend summoning everyone in the city to the amphitheater, or the courtyard, and speak to them directly. After that, I want you to enlist the full force of your guards and have them protect the city. They will need to do patrols in shifts. There should be no public part of the city that is not in some way under surveillance."

"My, my, you have been thinking this through, haven't you? What else do you have in mind?" She sipped her tea as she listened to me.

"We need to start the interrogations again. Every single person in the city whose whereabouts for last night is questionable. They will be the starting point in the city. Other than that, we need to investigate everyone outside of the city as well. There is no one spared from this investigation. It does not matter who they are or how close you are or used to be with them. This is not the time to let your past friendships cloud your judgement."

"Yes, Trinity, I agree." It was nice to see that she had taken my words to heart last night.

Athair mòr was indeed summoned, but he was to meet us at the amphitheater where the announcement was being made. The guards and knights were all present to provide protection to the people as they were told about what was happening.

They were all instructed to stay indoors as much as possible until we had this situation settled.

"I promise you all, that I will find out who is behind all of this and I will make them pay." I announced to them. "That is my vow to all of you." That seemed to give them all a little bit of hope. They had the protection of the two Queens.
