Chapter 422

~~ Trinity ~~ The smile that Aunt Glory was giving me said that she was both proud that I asked for help, and that I should have known better before I even asked. The two feelings I got from it were completely contradictory with each other. Still, I was happy that she was going to help me out. "We will work on it today and as many times as we have to before you leave. We can even get Val in to help us." She knew that Athair mór would really want to help if he could. "He is a good strategist. Just so you know." "I think it would be good to have him help us then. I want to make sure that I don't mess this up at all." After that, Aunt Glory summoned Athair mór so that he could help. She made sure to tell him that I was there so he rushed to get to the study. I giggled a little at his enthusiasm. I was really glad that he was so happy right now, but I worried what he would be like when we went home. "I am here gariníon [1]. I am here to help you with whatever you need." Athair mór was out of breath when he came through the door; it looked as if he had run here when he got Aunt Glory's summons. "Thank you. I was hoping that you could help me plan out how to structure my kingdoms. I have yet to do anything with them, and I know that I really need to do something about that before I lose out on my chance to make a difference." "Ah, my dear sweet gariníon is such a sweet person. You think about your people and try to make sure that nothing bad can happen to them. You are such a good Queen already." OK, now I know he was looking at me with rose colored glasses or something. I don't think there was anything that I could do to make him see me in a negative light. That was funny, but could get to where it was annoying later. "OK, Trinity, what we need to do is first figure out an approximation of how many people are in your two kingdoms, and then which method would be best for you to implement. Obviously, you do not want to completely copy the Fae way of running a kingdom because we have been doing this for millenia. You will be starting a whole new kingdom that is a Matriarchy. There is a lot that needs to go into planning this out, but we will manage it." Athair mór really did know what he was talking about. We had to start with estimating the number of shifters in the world, as well as the number of witches, warlocks, gypsies, witch doctors, djinn, genies, and any other type of magic user that I now ruled over. The number was not small, and I was certain that I was low balling that number way too much. After that we talked about the different ways to get my people involved. I knew that Fae had a noble system, and I wanted to do something like that as well. The problem was that I would end up with a hell of a lot of nobles. The current plan was to make all Alphas nobles. That would be Alphas of every species. I needed to include magical nobles as well though, so in that respect I would make those that ran their own covens nobles as well as those that were high ranking within the Aerie Convento. The nobility would be ranked on two factors. The amount of help or aid they provide and the size of their packs. The same would go for the magic users. There were fewer of them so the ranking system would be different. The goal was to unite the two worlds that I ruled into one. It would be best if we could get them to form a counsel of trusted advisors that would represent the ideas of their specific race. They would not have authority over anyone except their own pack or coven, but they will be asked for input and will need to visit the estate on a quarterly basis. For the little bit of time that we had spent on this so far, we had figured out a lot of the base structure. I would run it by Reece at a later date and see if there was anything that he wanted me to change about it, but for the time being it was coming together nicely. Once we got back home, we would slowly start contacting the new nobles and giving them a run down of the new rules system. The main thing that they needed to understand, according to Athair mór and Aunt Glory, was that I was the highest authority for them aside from the Gods and Goddesses. That meant that defying me could prove dangerous. However, it was not like I was just going to rule them by fear; I needed to get them all to trust me as well. This was going to be a long process. I just knew it. And right as I was about to lament the struggles that I was in for Athair mór cheerfully declared something that I didn't expect. "I've decided, I am coming back with you. I will help you set this up so you will not be alone. Plus, I will see where my family lives." He was so sure of that idea that I literally couldn't say anything to oppose his offer. Well, I guess my great great great grandfather was going back to Colorado Springs with me. That could be fun. But, why did I get the feeling that something was bound to go wrong? Has he even been to the modern world or has he been locked away here in the Fae Compound for most of the last few centuries? [1] Gariníon is an Irish word that means granddaughter. It is pronounced gar - in - EE - in
