“Okay, take a look at this.” I handed Rhyion a sketch I’d made of a pyramid, and inside the pyramid were the many cabinet positions I’d decided to factor into my government, all listed from most important to least.

Rhyion, Angelo, and Lio were at the top pyramid, all listed simply as my advisors. They had the power, like I would, to give commands to other cabinet members or to suggest new laws. I could delegate a lot to them.

I didn’t have anyone else’s name in any other position because, obviously, I didn’t know anyone else. Which made it a bit complicated when it came to deciding who was going to take part in my new governmental body.

It used to be that a witch chose every single cabinet position. When a witch or wizard entered as King or Queen, they had full reign. Which was fine, nobody ever complained because for the most part witches and wizards made selfless decisions. They were wise beyond their years. They did what was best for the country.

I was going to take another route, though.

Nobody may have complained back then about the fact that witches and wizards ruled everything, but I times had changed. After one hundred years of horrific rule that led the country into ruin, I thought people might want to have a little more say in politics.

So I was going to do something different: I’d let the people choose the cabinet members.

When I first told the boys this, they all seemed a little skeptical that I was going to put the power in the hands of the people. But I explained to them that this was likely the best thing we could do to raise public opinion of us as leaders. We give them a voice—a say in their own lives—and they’d be more likely to welcome us as leaders.

One thing wouldn’t change, though. Nobody was going to vote on who was royalty. The next King or Queen would be the most powerful witch or wizard and would be one of my children, of course. Whoever was the strongest and could prove it in a series of tests would be the person who ruled over Elderan. That was how it had always been done, and I wouldn’t be changing that part of it.

And the King or Queen would get to choose their own advisors. But every other position would be left up to the people to decide.

We’d hold elections very soon after I took power, allowing a few months for people to campaign for positions they wanted. I hoped to also extend this to smaller districts in Elderan, creating a lot of smaller governments to act within my large one.

It was all pretty tricky, and I doubted I’d get it all running smoothly right away. It would take some time, and there were a lot of kinks to work out. I knew that.

But the important thing was, we were getting something going. A government that was going to outlast even me. We
