Chapter 10

There was absolutely nothing Fae related on my calendar today, I thought to myself as I got dressed. It's about time! I'd spent almost two weeks dealing with the Milagres and other local Fae leaders assuring everyone that I was not interested in taking over. Sheesh, I've probably got more enemies these days than ever before, and that doesn't even include Marissa and her minions. So much for the line it's good to be king! Well, they'd just have to deal with it. Hopefully I'd assured everyone that the status quo was a good thing. I'd also worked out the Fae money thing, delegating most of it to Gerald Cornwall, the Fae attorney.

Of course I still had more things to do. I was still concerned about that 20 years late thing Handion and Cyrene had hit me with. And I did want to ask Bernd about Valen. I hadn't heard from him since I'd returned. I needed to ask Lucinda about that again. It wasn't like him to be away so long. But who knew what he had going. Still it was another thing to worry about.

Then there were the kids. Well, adult kids anyway. JT was an agent for Homeland Security in LA and Nicky was a CSI at Vegas PD. Both were smart and at the top of their game. I'd talked to them several times since I'd come back from Fae, trying to find out if anything had changed. So far it seemed like nothing had happened. But I knew it was just a matter of time before the magic started to make itself known. I probably wasn’t being fair to them by avoiding the issue, especially since I'd promised the Dryad my female heir would eventually take the throne. But I just wasn't ready to deal with it yet. Stupid, I know, but what can I say.

I went downstairs to the kitchen and rummaged through the cabinet for a coffee cup. I settled on an old favorite, it simply said, out of the frying pan and into the fire. I filled it as I realized that was exactly the situation I found myself in. So be it. Like I said before, at least my calendar was clear.

Oh sure, I was still gonna go to the office. Had to keep up appearances and all that. But as to the Fae, things were quiet. Sendy was hanging out with Malcolm; they had a thing going. Who was I to complain? Diantha was keeping herself busy with work at the Neptune, although personally I think she was still pissed that I hadn’t wanted to take over the world. Gerda had gone back to wherever she was from and Siegfried was back working for Meredith and Eddie Milagre at the Neptune as well. All in all I might have my first quiet day in weeks, but I doubted it was going to last. Still, it was something to hope for.

After reading the paper (I'd missed absolutely nothing of interest),
