Chapter 440 - Trinity - The New Year’s Ball And Leaving The Compound (VOLUME 3)

~~
Trinity
~~
The day after the incident, my family was acting mostly normal, though I could tell that they were a little nervous around me. I guess that's what happens when you become a powerful Queen. It made me sad, but it was also unavoidable.
Chances are that as time moves on they would see me do a lot worse than what happened yesterday. At least I killed the man without making it bloody or disgusting. I think that, overall, I did really well.
Now though, we had the New Year's ball to attend and then it was time to go home. After the attempted poisoning, Reece wanted to skip the ball altogether, but I told him that we needed to go. If only to show them all that they hadn't scared me away.
If that man had not been working alone, I needed his accomplices to know that I was not too afraid to show myself in their midst. This would also come in handy when we needed to come back to take care of that threat that Danu told us about. They would always be slightly afraid of me, and that might be a good thing.
This time, Athair mór was at the ball. He hadn't been at the other three balls so I found this a little surprising. Aunt Glory had been at all of them so that wasn't a shock. The shock from her, however, was that she had asked that I be escorted to her side as soon as I got there and I was to not stray too far from her or her guards. I guess it didn't matter that my entire group was there to protect me as well. I had more back up than usual right now.
Reece and I danced to a few songs, and for the first time at a ball here, I didn't have men trying to dance with me. That doesn't mean that they weren't looking at me. Some were looking at me with lust in their eyes, others with fear. But I was still the center of their attention.
I didn't care. I was there to dance with my husband and celebrate the new year with my family that was with us. This was my last night here at the Fae compound and I didn't want to waste it at all.
The refreshments that were served were, of course, tested by Pierre. He was fully healed and ready to get back to his duties. He took them seriously and was proud to have saved his Queen's life. He said that he would wear that memory like it was a badge of honor. Honestly, I wanted to give him a badge of honor.
I was glad that nothing at all happened and we were all able to enjoy the ball. At the end of the night, when the clock struck midnight, there was a light and water display that looked just like real fireworks. Athair mór and Aunt Glory had done an amazing job, and I was happy to have been included in the night.
The next day Roisin was scrambling as she searched the house for anything that we might have forgotten. She was so efficient and skilled that she had managed the house with all of us single handedly. She was amazing.
Juliet, my guard, was actually staying behind here in the compound. She was going to live with Breon now that they were mated. She felt awful for leaving, me but I told her it was the way that things needed to be.
While I was doing my best to convince her that I didn't mind there was a knock on the door to the house. Roisin answered it swiftly and then bowed to her knees.
"My Queen."
"Rise, Roisin." Aunt Glory told her. "You don't need to bow to me right now."
"Queen Gloriana?" She was confused.
"I have something I want to say to my niece before she leaves, and it involves you. Please, come with me."
"Y..y..y..yes my Queen."
Aunt Glory and Roisin walked over to where I was with Juliet.
"Trinity, my dear." Aunt Glory hugged me close. "I am sad to see you leave, but I see that we are gaining a new resident in your place. How about we even things out a little." I didn't quite understand the smile that was on her face for a moment.
"I don't follow, Aunt Glory."
"Roisin, you enjoyed taking care of my niece, did you not? Would you like to continue to do so?"
"What? Oh, I uhm, y...yes my Queen. I would love to."
"Trinity, my dear, would you like to take Roisin back to your home? I understand that you are trying to create a kingdom and you will need every capable hand you can find."
"You know something, Aunt Glory, I would love to. I think Roisin would make a lovely addition to our household."
"W..wait? I..I can really go?" Roisin looked like she had just won the lottery. "I promise you, my lady, I will not let you down. I will take care of anything that you might need of me. I will do my best." She was speaking so passionately that there was no room for doubt.
"I know you will, Roisin. And I thank you for that."
It only took a little while for Roisin to get her things together, she didn't have as much as I thought she might have. We will take care of that later. We will make sure that she has everything that she might need.
Once we were all packed and ready to go, we all piled into the SUVs and started our journey home. I was a little sad to be going, but I was leaving with lots of memories. Not to mention, Roisin and Athair mór were coming with us. Roisin was coming permanently while Athair mór was coming to help me set up my new kingdom and to get to know his family even more.
Well, this sounds like things were still going to be exciting, at least for a little while.. I couldn't wait to see what the future had in store for us.
