Trinity

"Oh my Goddess! Reece, what the hell did you do?!" I yelled at him when I saw the item he had brought out for me.
"What, baby?" I thought you needed one." He was smiling innocently at me.
"You thought I needed a fucking crown? Seriously? A fucking crown?!" I was flabbergasted.
"Trinity, you are a Queen, you know. And think about it, every time that Gloriana was with her subjects outside of her private quarters, she was wearing her crown. You needed it."
"You didn't buy this after we got back. How long have you been planning this?" There was no way it had been made after we got back from the Fae compound.
"Well, to be honest, Valerian and I had it done. We went to see a jeweler while you were in a meeting with Gloriana, and now just seems like the perfect time to give it to you."
"Oh my Goddess, Reece." I just put my head in my hands and shook it from side to side.
"Come on, let me put it on you. After we had it made, Valerian enchanted it with Fae magic. It won't fall off your head at all, no matter what you do. It will always stay on until you take it off." Why was I seeing an inappropriate look in his eyes right now? I could just imagine what was going through his head, and oddly enough, and as kinky as the thought was, I liked it.
"Come on and stop being a spoilsport about this." He walked toward me and held me in place with those gorgeous eyes of his.
"Let me guess, you got one for yourself too, didn't you."
"Nope, I didn't. However, when it was delivered Valerian had one for me too, so he must have done it himself after I was done placing your order." He looked like he was telling the truth, but part of me just wanted to give him a hard time.
"Uh huh, sure." I rolled my eyes as I said it, then I looked more closely at the crown in his hands.
The crown was simple in its design, but it was anything but simple with the way that it had been made. The crown was actually a tiara that was pointed a little at the top and curved down until the top and bottom met. The centerpiece of the crown was made of three large blue sapphires that I could tell at a glance were really, really expensive. They were in the same shape that was on my wedding dress, the two crescent moons facing away from the full moon or just a circle. Above and below the sapphires was a filigree of those trinity knots like the one on the forehead of my wolf. They were linked together and so intricately designed that they all looked like a vine instead. That filigree went along the entire top and bottom edges of the crown. And that filigree was also entirely adorned with diamonds. I couldn't even begin to fathom how much the crown must have cost.
"Reece, it's beautiful and all, but don't you think this is too much?"
"Not at all, you should have seen what Valerian wanted to do. This is much more reasonable." I could see the look in his eyes and knowing what I did of my Athair mór I could definitely see what he meant.
"Alright, put it on me." I leaned forward and let him set the tiara-like crown on my head. "By the way, how much did this thing cost you?"
"Do you really want me to answer that?" He made me both want to know and not want to know at the same time.
"Just tell me." I sighed as I lifted my head.
"This was about eighteen million, give or take a little."
"REECE?!" I nearly screamed his name causing him to rub the back of his head sheepishly.
"It was worth every penny, I swear."
"Oh my Goddess, I don't even know what to do with you." I shook my head and just left the room.
When I was out of the room and down the stairs to the main part of the royal tower, I came across everyone who had been waiting for us. Athair mór, Gina and Ella. Apparently, they all knew about the crown as well.
"That looks splendid." Athair mór was the first to comment.
"I agree, it's wonderful." Gina smiled.
"Damn, Trinity, that is perfect. Oopsies, I mean that is a remarkable crown, Queen Trinity, and it goes perfectly with the royal dress you are wearing. If I do say so myself."
I just rolled my eyes at them all as I smiled. They were a great bunch of people.
"You're all incorrigible. You know that? I can't believe you have all been working on this without telling me." Despite what I was saying, I was smiling at the three of them.
"You are a Queen, Trinity, you need to act like one sometimes." Ella was the one to say this to me, and I could only thank her in my head as I nodded. She was right, and so were the others. I couldn't be the same old Trinity all the time. Not anymore. I was a Queen, and I needed to act like it.
I needed to act like it right now, honestly. That was why I was wearing all of this stuff. I needed to go down to the throne room and greet the magic users. I had summoned them, and while I (the Queen) could make them wait, I really didn't feel that I should. I needed to do a lot more than just say hi. This was going to take me a long time. I was just glad that I had several people that were able to help me out and support me: Reece, Athair mór, Gabriel, Noah. All of them would be there with me and help me through this whole process.
Did I mention yet that I was way too nervous about all of this?
