The Queen and Her Alpha

I took a deep breath. This should be simple, it should be the simplest thing done as a Queen. For me, though, it is not. I look down, my light cream and maroon colored dress felt like it was weighing me down. The tight corset I wore made it much harder to breathe, yet this is what my life had to consist of from now on. I was royalty, and I had to act like it.

I opened the doors and stepped out onto the balcony. All the Fairy Tale creatures of the land were laid out below me, all except my officers, who were inside that palace. I gulped, there were so many people out there, all looking at me. I prayed my rule would be great and pleasing to my people.

Taking a deep breath, I looked up. I looked upon my kingdom, my people. I tried to calm myself down enough to talk, hoping they wouldn't hear my voice trembling. I cannot appear to be weak, I told myself. They mustn't see you as a weakling, that would only cause trouble.

"My people, I come to you to seek your respect and honor. I want to rule this kingdom to the best of my ability, but I cannot do it alone. I need your cooperation and help, I need to know if things are going wrong. I want to rule gently, with love and compassion, I need you to know that I mean no harm to any of you, not unless you mean harm to me. I know that you are able to do as I ask, and I will try and do the same. I plan to help the kingdom prosper, not fall, to produce heir that will do the same. We will be victorious, but only if there is understanding. Over the next few weeks, I will try to connect with at least three people from each profession. I want to help weed out all the bad I can. Thank you for welcoming me with loving arms, as I do to you now."

I wave my hand at our master chef, who ushers out servents to lead the way to a feast laid out for my subjects. I pray my rule doesn't lead me a bad name, for this is but the beginning.

Okay. New story. Sudden burst of an idea. Lets do this.
