I felt like I was busier than ever. I didn't know where my time went or how I managed to always have something to do. Wasn't there ever a point when my work could be done, and I could just take a break?
I have to say, being a Goddess and a Queen wasn't the easiest thing in the world. It wasn't really the Goddess part, that didn't really change much. No, it was the Queen business that kept me busy. Every day I had to review things that had to do with the new 'kingdom' that I was running, and it was seemingly endless.
Honestly, I feel like I had rushed the creation of my kingdom. I was a little overzealous at first after having spent so much time with Aunt Glory and Athair mòr in the Fae kingdom. I wanted to prove that I was worthy of the title of queen and that I actually had the right to be leading my people.
In the beginning, I am sure that I fucked up a lot of things. I was also certain that not everyone was as happy with me being the queen and imposing new laws, they might have seemed supportive and happy about it, but I think that was just because they were, literally, unable to oppose me.
I feel like I had ended up ruining a lot of lives in the beginning of my reign of power. And ever since then, I have been working to correct the errors that I have made. Not to get too specific about some of these things, but I was unfair to some of the Alphas that came to me about disputes. I didn't listen to them at the time and blindly, and naively, told them to get along with each other.
With all of the things that I have been through, I should know more than almost anyone that you can't just give that order and make it come true. That was a stupid ideal of mine and I needed to open my eyes and see the world for what it truly was.
Thankfully, I did see the errors before it got to be too late. I have since worked more on how my world would be run. I let the people give me an opinion of how they thought things should be, and I corrected all the things that I messed up. I also worked more on what it was that I had missed out on.
Over the last few years, I have nearly finalized the structure with which my kingdom is governed. I had worked out the checks and balances system that is put in place for the purpose of keeping things fair. I have redesignated my council as a parliament type of system that would meet to discuss the functionality of the kingdom.
I was so glad that we didn't need to create a single universal money system for my kingdom. Since my 'people' were spread out all over the world, we couldn't use a single type of money. Especially since we were still hiding our existence from the humans. No, we just needed to use our own 'local' currency, whatever one that might be.
I wasn't fully done yet, there was a lot of fine tuning to do, but I was happy to say that my Kingdom was at least functional and semi sufficient. Most people would argue that it was more than semi sufficient, but I was being slightly pessimistic right now. Better that than seeing it through rose colored glasses all the time.
"Hahh!" I sighed as I set aside my pen, having just signed the last document that was in front of me.
"Have you finished now, my Queen?" Roisin, my personal attendant, asked me the moment that I seemed to be taking a slight break.
"Yes, I am finally done with all of this." I was stretching my arms out and I could feel all the tension and stress that I had been under.
"That is wonderful, my lady. There is an afternoon meeting for you. Perhaps you will want to go and clean up before you meet with them." There was a smile on Roisin's face as her eyes twinkled at me.
"I take it this is a very important meeting." I sighed again. I desperately needed some time off.
"Yes, my Queen. I believe this will be the most important meeting you have had in a long time." I didn't miss the slight smirk on her face, nor the way that she was looking at me intently. There was something about this person that I was meeting with that I hadn't been told yet. Oh well, I could ask after I was changed. From what I had been told, the next meeting started at two this afternoon. It was currently a quarter to one. Dammit, I haven't even had lunch yet. I guess I needed to hurry so I could eat before the meeting.
I went with Roisin upstairs to get changed for this important meeting. I wanted to put on something that would be quick and easy so that I could get something to eat, but Roisin insisted that I needed to dress a certain way.
However, the outfit that she gave me wasn't what I would expect to be wearing to a meeting. No, instead of a business suit or something queenly, Roisin gave me something that was a little fun and geared toward family time.
"Are you sure, Roisin?" I tilted my head in confusion at her choice.
"Yes, Ma'am, I am sure that this would be better for the meeting that you are having. Now, let's get you ready."
Roisin worked to make sure that my hair was styled, something I could have done myself with magic, but instead, Roisin did it with her magic. After that, I fixed my makeup myself, with magic of course. Then finally, I got dressed and ready for the meeting.
Before I headed back to my office, I went to get something to eat. Thankfully, my office was at the base of the royal tower, so I didn't need to travel far. I would enjoy a quick lunch and then be on my way.
Or at least that is what I thought. I was in the middle of my meal when the door to the family dining room opened to permit a small group of people.
"What's this? None of you greet your guests anymore."
I was shocked beyond belief, I hadn't known that they were coming. What were they doing here?
"What are you doing here? I was so curious that I thought the question deserved repeating, out loud.
"Trevor?" Reece was shocked as he rose to his feet. His friend was standing there before us with a big grin on his face. "What are you doing here?"
"We told everyone to keep it a secret. We wanted to come and visit you for a little bit. You know, catch up, hang out, spend some time together."
"I cannot believe this. I am so happy.. Why didn't you tell us you were coming?" I leapt to my feet and started to run straight toward Aunt Glory and Athair mòr.
