1034 Chapter 19- Trinity – The eting Part 1 (VOLU 6)
~~
Trinity
~~
The al didn’t end bitterly like my lunch had. With the kids accepting what was going on, I was able to talk to them and feel like the food that I was eating was actually satisfying the hunger that was inside of . That was a good thing too, because I needed to feed Reeselynn inside of , and I knew that she would start complaining to soon if I didn’t give her food. She was growing fast and strong inside of .
After we left the tower, we went back down to my office to make the final preparations for the eting tonight. I needed to make sure that we had invited them all and that all of them knew to expect the doors at the sa ti. I didn’t want this to take a long ti when we were in a hurry.
When Vincent ca to get at about a quarter to eight that evening, I was startled by the fact that so much ti had already passed. I had been sitting in Reece’s lap as I thought once more about what I was going to say to all of these people. Damn, but it was stressful.
“Trinity?” He called out to as he opened the door. “It is almost ti to begin. We need to get the doors prepared.”
“Yes, you are right.” I nodded at him. “Let’s head down.” As I spoke, I rose to my feet and opened a door in the room. It took us down to the throne room, and the waiting room behind it. Reece and I waited in the waiting room while I peeked through the doors into the hall. I opened the doors to the several different locations all at once. I had asked that so of the politicians, especially those that were close to each other, to co through the sa door. It was almost like mystical carpooling. It was also so that I didn’t need to make hundreds of doors at once. The politicians that were in the US were primarily in D.C. at the mont, and that ant that they could all co at once, making it easier on and my magic.
“Trinity?” Reece called out to . “Are you OK?”
.....
“I will be fine.” I told him as I turned to face him.
“Yes, I know that you will both be fine. However, Trinity, can I ask one thing?” Vincent was looking at a little critically.
“And what exactly do you want to ask?” I was a little confused by him at the mont.
“You need to change, Trinity. You are eting with politicians and instead you look like you belong on a college campus with Reagan and Rika.”
“Ha ha ha.” I laughed sardonically at him. He was not being helpful just then.
“I am serious. We are both wearing comfortable and casual clothes. We need to dress for a political eting if we want to be taken seriously.” He was explaining this to as he looked at his own clothes. He usually just wore black jeans, a black t-shirt, and so sort of boots that made it easy to run and work in. Now though, he was wearing a business suit, also black, and Italian loafers that made him look much more regal than I did at the mont.
“Fine.” I told him stiffly, but I am not wearing one of the queen dresses. They are too uncomfortable at the mont.”
“That is fine. Wear sothing business-like.”
With a wave of my hand, and a flare of my magic, I changed my clothes from the casual lounge wear into a business suit for won. It was black with a light blue blouse and shining black heels. I had opted for a pants suit, because I didn’t want to wear a dress or skirt at the mont. I had put Reece into one of his black suits for work as well, so he would be more than adequate for the situation. His hair, styled casually as it was, would be fine for the night. Mine on the other hand, needed to be dealt with. So, I waved my hand again and made my hair twist itself into a loose chignon at the nape of my neck, and, of course, my makeup was done as well. I looked like I was ready to step into congress now, instead of my own throne room.
“Much better.” Vincent smiled at as we heard the room outside swell with voices. The audience was almost fully assembled. “It’s almost ti.” He stood stiffly and turned to face the door. “I will introduce you soon.”
“Yeah, I know the routine.” I shook my head at his back. He was always so rigid when it ca to things like this. It was funny.
After about another five minutes I felt the doors closing in the other room. I had set them up on a tir, and they would close on their own when it struck eight. That was also when I heard Vincent’s voice boom in the other room.
“Thank you all for coming on such short notice. I know that it is not easy to make such accommodations to your plans, but I know that you all also understand that Queen Trinity would not call you all here if it wasn’t of vital importance.” There was utter silence from them all as they listened raptly. “I will not delay you any further, ladies and gentlen, please welco Queen Trinity and King Reece.” At Vincent’s words there was a steady yet subdued round of applause. They were waiting for to co out and address them all.
As I walked into the throne room, I had my arm wrapped around Reece’s. He took to the middle of the dais, and we looked out at everyone that was waiting for us. I saw that they all had their eyes glued to . And, all of them, no matter what country they were from or what political party they were affiliated with, they were looking at like I had the answers that they were seeking. Even the royalty in this crowd was looking at like that.
“Thank you all for coming on such short notice.” I repeated Vincent’s words from earlier. I knew that they would have more weight coming from rather than him. “I have sothing of the utmost importance to discuss with you all.” I turned with Reece and went to sit in my throne that was raised high above them all. I was still able to see them all as they sparsely filled the large hall.
After I was in my seat, I lifted my head and shoulders, making myself appear taller and more confident. I didn’t want them to know that I was still iffy about this whole situation, even though it was my decision.
“Friends, people of my blood and kingdom, we have a problem that is facing us at this very mont.” I paused for a mont to let that sink in for them. After what felt like an appropriate ti, I started to speak again. “There have been so people that have discovered, or at least suspected, what we are. There are mbers of the NSA that are investigating us. They have blood samples from the murders over the sumr, and they are testing to see if they are human or not. It seems that they are learning that there had to be a reason that we got involved. And that if we aren’t human, then the people that we were so worried about weren’t human either. They truly believe that we are not what we say that we are, and they are intending to expose us to the world. And, if we are not careful, they will present us as monsters.”
There were so scattered murmurs in the crowd, but for the most part they just looked at like they couldn’t believe their ears. They, like , were shocked that soone would even think about this as a plausible scenario. We had thought that we were all keeping the secret so well, but here I was ruining things for all of us.
“I know that I am to bla for this situation. It was and my king that got involved in the case that led these NSA agents to suspect us. I do apologize for that, but I assure you all that I have a plan to help us combat this situation.”
“How? What are we to do?” A man with a Scottish accent called out from the crowd.
“We can beat them to the punch.” I told the man in response. “My plan is to speak with as many world leaders as I can and get the situation under control. I want to make sure that we secure rights that are specific for our people. We are all citizens of this world, and we an to stay. And after we get those laws and policies put into effect, we will reveal ourselves to the humans. We will show them what we really are, and we will spin this all in a positive way for us.
“What?”
“No!”
“Impossible.” Several naysayers called out to in horror as they heard what I had to say. Clearly, I hadn’t won them over just yet. I still needed to explain to them exactly what my plan was, and how we would take the monster label off of us if we were in front of this instead of trailing behind it. I still had a lot of work to do.
