Dallas‘ p.o.v.
Joshua joins me and Aunt Eliza in the kitchen. I need to inform him about their task for Monday and hopefully, we can keep the Elders occupied for a long time.
“I need you to split the Squad into two teams. No, make that three eats. One team to search the library here in the private wing, one to search the library downstairs and one to search the Eer wing.” I tell him as I look at the contents of the fridge.
There is more than enough food in here and Aunt Eliza is pulling tems from the pantry to increase the availability of food for cooking or baking.
“They need to find anything that mentions the duties of the Elders the power they hold within the Kingdom or how the Elders became a part of our Kingdom. Anything that mentions the Elders will do and they need to be ready to act on Monday morning.” I explain.
“On it. Just let me know when the meeting is over.” Joshua says before he walks out of the kitchen.
I sense Grandpa before he sets a foot into the kitchen and he looks a bit disappointed when I turn to face him.
“You knew I was around the corner, didn’t you?” He asks and I smile as he pulls me in for a hug.
“Another perk of being a Royal?” I ask, but Grandpa shakes his head.
“No, the perk of a family bond.” He states, before explaining how it will get stronger with time. “Your bond with Quinlan will be stronger than the bond we have and will also count for the bond you have with the next Royal Gamma.”
Okay, I need to keep track of the differences in each bond. My bond with my Mates differs from the family bond and now I find out that the bond I will have with Quinlan and whoever becomes the Royal Gamma will also be different.
Now I really hate growing up without my family around. I ask Aunt Eliza every question that pops in my mind as we prepare dinner and she answers each of them patiently.
Without the Servants walking in and out during the evening, I see my family relaxing more than I have seen the
I propose the idea of doing this once a month for twenty four hours
“That is a damn good idea, but I doubt the Elders will agree with it? Uncle Vaughn responds.
“They can deal with it. This is our private wing and we make the decisions when it comes down to it.” Quinlan counters.
I smile as I listen to my family discussing my idea and settle into the arms of my Mates.
“I think it will benefit your family if they make this a new tradition” Darius says through our mind–link and I agree with him;
this needs to become a tradition.
“They look more at ease without the Servants around. Almost as if they know they can’t discuss everything when the Servants are around.” Daxton replies.
Of course, they understand that, even if it is just subconsciously. I believe that anyone would be more careful with their words or actions around others, especially if you are a Royal or an Alpha.
“Joshua, I have another subject that you need to look for.” I tell him through our mind–link, before I confide in him about my
suspicions.
This has been the most fun I have had in ages.” Grandpa says as he gets up. “Quinlan, you were right. The Elders just need to deal with our new tradition and probably some others along the way.”
I hug Grandpa good night, something else Charna and I feel should become a part of our daily routine. We are going to have a hectic schedule with all the things we want to do that we missed out on when we were growing up.
The next day is spent with just my Mates, trying to find out what we need to purchase for our suite. It only took an hour before I

kicked Larcia, our appointed Servant, out of our suite with a thunderous roar from Charna.
Elder Dawn demanded to speak with me and I asked my Mates to accompany me, because I knew I wouldn’t be able to play nice.
“Princess Dallas, the Servants can’t be dismissed.” I didn’t know if she wanted to add anything else, but I didn’t give her the
chance.
“Elder Dawn, I will dismiss a Servant from my suite. It is my suite and I am a Royal. 1 outrank each and every one of you. I don’t want to see a Servant in my suite unless I specifically ask them to perform their duties. Anyone who has a problem with that can address this topic on Monday at the meeting.” I stated before I walked away from her.
