Chapter 595 - 12- Trinity – More Work To Do (VOLUME 4)
~~
Trinity
~~
It was now the beginning of August, it was time for me to get back to work, and I had so much to do. I had to find which people to hire as my 'kingdom assistants' and of course that meant that I needed to give my head of security and beta, Vincent, and personal assistant, Gabriel, more work to do.
I didn't have to call either of them to the castle for the meeting. For one, they both had their residences inside the castle. And for two, they both worked closely with me every day. They were one of the few people that got to see how crazy busy I was almost every second of every day. Maybe they will be happy to hear that I want help from other people.
"Vincent, can you come here for a moment?" I called him over from his position near the back of the room. "You too, Gabriel." The latter of them was standing behind me and had been waiting for instructions.
When the two of them were close enough to me, I motioned for them to take a sit.
"Sit down, please. Both of you."
"I am an assistant, my Queen, I cannot sit in your office."
"With all due respect, Trinity, I cannot be a proper bodyguard if I am sitting in a chair." They both refused my offer and that annoyed me a little bit.
"Sit." That came out forceful and as a command. So, of course, they both sat immediately. I really shouldn't, but I still found it funny when people were compelled to do as I said from those commands. That was so evil of me. I needed to make sure I didn't abuse that for fun, that would just be cruel.
"Yes, Ma'am." They both said the words as they sank into their chairs in front of me.
"What can we do for you, Trinity?" Vincent asked with a hint of nervousness in his voice.
"I am going to be giving the two of you some more work. I don't want to over burden you or anything, but I need a job that only you two can do." As soon as I started to tell them this though, I felt a tugging on my consciousness. This one wasn't how I was used to being summoned, but I could tell that there was a celestial that wanted to speak with me. Though, who could it be? "Hahh!" I sighed.
"Is something wrong, my Queen?" Gabriel asked me with a worried tone.
"Not wrong, really, but apparently, someone wants to talk to me. I will be back."
I felt myself slip out of my body and even watched my head slump forward. Vincent got to me in time to catch my head before it slammed onto the desk. He deserved a raise for that show of speed and concern.
I wasn't exactly happy right now. Whoever was wanting to see me was most likely going to give me more work to do. This wasn't going to be fun or pleasant. Hmm, I wonder. Can I turn them down now that I am a Goddess myself? I would think that I could, but we will see.
I had the familiar falling up feeling that turned into a falling toward the ground. As I approached the ground, I saw that there was a man and a woman waiting there for me. The woman seemed to be wearing a long white dress and her long, light brown hair curled loosely down her back. The man had shorter hair, but it was much curlier than the woman's was. His hair was black, and he appeared to be wearing a toga.
When I landed, I saw that the man and woman that had summoned me were wearing little leafy crowns. They were actually laurels, and I knew that. Still, it was a shock to see them when I first landed. That made me think that these two were either Greek or Roman celestials.
"Thank you for coming to see us, Trinity." The man spoke in a slightly higher pitched voice. "My name is Sancus. This, here, is my friend, Veritas." Ahh, so they were both Roman. Well, at least they should know each other.
"Hello. Why was I brought here?" I asked them with just a slight amount of annoyance in my voice.
"We know that you have taken three of our kind into you. You have ascended into being a Goddess because Nehalennia, Thoth, and Danu wanted to leave the celestial realm. The realm is paradise, that simply is not the issue. But we grow bored of that paradise. We want to return as well."
"And how is it that I can help? I don't want to have things crowded inside my soul." I didn't want to be some supernatural version of Sybil or anything like that.
"That is not what we were thinking. We have been watching those around you. We have been looking for people that are worthy of our type of gifts." Veritas spoke in a soft and sweet voice.
If I remembered Sancus was the God of oaths and Veritas was the Goddess of truth. They were oddly specific types of celestials and not many people were worthy of those titles.
"Did you find anyone that was worthy of them?" I was curious. I wanted to know what they thought of the people that were around me.
"That we have." They both spoke at the same time as they nodded their heads at me.
"I personally believe that the man named Vincent would be the most qualified recipient of my mark. I wish to raise him to the rank of God so that I may be reborn as a human." Sancus was explaining to me in a high, even voice. "From what I have seen, there is no man more loyal to you than Vincent. He is an honorable being and I think that he would do well with my blessing."
"I will not force it upon him. He will have to choose to accept you of his own accord." I made sure that he knew I would not be outright agreeing to this. "And who have you chosen, Veritas?" I asked her even though I was pretty sure that I already knew.
"The man Gabriel is the most honest man that I have ever seen. I believe that he would be the best one to accept my blessing." I wasn't surprised at all. They had both chosen the men in my presence and called me here to see if I would grant their requests.
"You two need to ask them yourselves. I will not decide for you."
"B..but we cannot go to the mortal realm." Veritas looked frightened.
"We are lesser gods. We cannot make that trip on our own. I am sorry, but we cannot ask them." Sancus and Veritas both hung their heads in shame. They were already giving up.
"If you can't go alone, then I will take you." I held my hands out to them, my left to Sancus and my right to Veritas.. They both looked too nervous to take them, but I wasn't about to give up.
