Chapter 12

The next morning, I had a hangover without the benefit of having a good time the night before. My eyes were puffy and I was exhausted. I had mixed feelings about the day. I wanted to see Lucius. Just the thought of him made me feel giddy, but Dominick was going through so much and I really didn’t know how to help him. I wanted him to be okay, but sometimes, we don’t always get what we want. I forced myself from bed and made my way to the sitting room.

The table was covered with scones and jam. Then the sweetest morning smell hit me. Something I hadn’t had in so long, I couldn’t help but smile. A steaming pot of coffee sat waiting for me. Ruby was a gem. How did she know that of all mornings, today I needed that sweet elixir the most.

“Your Majesty, I have a surprise.” She could barely contain her glee, shifting from foot to foot.

“I know; I can smell it and I think you are amazing.”

“I was talking to your Lucius and I asked him what he thought you might miss from home and he told me coffee. I had someone check the wolf compound and they had some.” The words flew out of her mouth faster and faster, the next so eager to get out, it pushed the one in front out of the way.

“You are a marvel. I’m very lucky to have you here. Now please, sit and join me. I hate to eat alone.”

She sat opposite me, swallowed up by the fae-sized chair. Even I barely touched the floor with my toes while sitting in them. It made me feel short.

“Ruby, this is going to sound insane, but I’ve only met people with titles and the lesser fae, are there no…ummm … just regular fae? I mean villages with people who live and work?”

“None who would admit to being regular.” She laughed a hearty laugh for one so tiny. “There are, of course, other areas of the fae realm. Other fae who aren’t Lords or Ladies live there, but they aren’t, say, farmers or builders; those duties are left to us. I haven’t been there in a long time, but they are rich houses. They usually have talents that give them power instead of titles. Mostly a magical talent or a knowledge of the legends. Some have power over nature and the elements. Some fae are so close to nature they live in the woods, lakes, and ocean. I’m afraid we lost a lot of those fae when our magic was cut off, but maybe they just faded and they will come back.”

“How am I to rule here when I know so little?” The more I learned, the more questions I had.

“You will learn it all. It just takes a bit of time.” Her small hand reached over and patted mine.

“Why aren’t any of those people here?”

“I think some are. They await your decision on the goblin pairings. Some of the dark fae are here, having nowhere to go after they were released from their prison.
