Chapter 527 - Trinity – A Declaration Of War (VOLUME 3)

Trinity

"Ha! You are not my kin at all, mongrel. I sense more wolf in you than anything. This little game of yours will not save you at all. I will kill Gloriana and take my place on the throne. This shall be my kingdom to rule." Solanum bellowed the words for the whole crowd to see.
"Really? And just what would you do if you were to take over the Fae throne?" I was trying to keep her talking, trying to figure out a plan, or to give time for Aunt Glory and Athair mòr to think of a plan. I needed to do something at least and keeping her talking seemed good enough to me right now.
"I will take the throne, annihilate my enemies, free the dark Fae, and rule the world."
Well, that was easy. I got her entire evil plan right up front. I guess it was true that evil villains were so maniacally stupid that they always seemed to reveal their whole scheme so easily.
"So, you seek world domination? Well that simply won't do. Do you know how many innocent people there are in the world? Do you know how many people you would be destroying just to seek the end to a maniacal plan that would ultimately leave you just as miserable as you were before?"
"What? What are you saying?"
I seemed to have confused her. That large projection of her face was tilted to the side and glaring at me for some reason. She was so honestly and truly confused by what I had said to her that it was nearly comical.
"What I am saying, Solanum, is that you won't be happy even if you take the throne. It would be a pointless and wasted loss of life. So, I simply won't allow it to happen." I gave her a firm look that I usually reserved for misbehaving children. In other words, I was telling her that she wasn't really worth my time.
"SILENCE!" She bellowed the word so loud that I felt like it almost burst my eardrums. Everyone in attendance, aside from me, Aunt Glory, Athair mòr, and Reece covered their ears. Was it because we were royalty and trying to give off a commanding air that we managed to keep ourselves from reacting like the others did?
"I will not be silenced, Solanum. You crashed a wedding that had nothing to do with you only to threaten my Aunt Glory. I will not stand aside and let that slide."
"Stop calling these people your kin. That is simply not true." She seemed truly angered by this fact. I guess she really didn't want to know that there was more proof of her time spent married to Athair mòr.
"I will not stop it. I am the last descendant of Antirrhinum and his mate. My ancestor was conceived before Antirrhinum was killed in the war. I will not be silenced because it is true."
I intentionally let her think that I was the only one related to her. I did not need her focusing on anyone else in my family. And while I said those words, I placed silencing barriers around everyone that might say something to the contrary. I wanted to protect Reece and my children. This woman was not to, under any circumstances, know that I had children. I just knew that she would target them next.
"If you are the last descendant of my bloodline, then all I need to do is kill you." She grinned and I saw a hand enter the large vision that was standing hundreds of feet tall in the sky. "I will strike you down here and now and put an end to this."
I knew she would lash out. She was a maniacal, sociopathic, homicidal bitch. I gathered all of that just from the way she had talked. Oh, and the way that she told me her whole evil plot.
"Prepare to die, bitch."
The good thing about what I had done was that those silencing barriers I put around my mate, children and guards kept them from running toward me as well. I didn't need them getting in the way right now. I was going to handle this.
Just as I managed to put a barrier over the entire plaza, and every guest in attendance, there was a bright red streak of light about the side of a small stream of water flying from the floating hand and straight at me.
It didn't reach me though. It just bounced off the barrier and rebound toward Solanum. She was obviously not physically there because it flew right through her face and dissipated into nothing.
"What?" She was shocked again, unable to believe what had just happened.
"I will not let you harm me or the Fae. Give up now, Solanum." My voice was strong and firm when I spoke to her.
"I will never give up." She screamed at me. "I will have your head for this. I will have all of your heads. Mark my words, death is coming for you all. Blood will rain down upon the walls of your castle and it will turn black with the hatred that we, who were sealed away, have for all of you. I will bring war upon the land of the Fae and my army will be those that you cast away. You have been warned."
With that, Solanum's image disappeared from the sky, and the blue sky and shining sun returned.
"Trinity?" Reece said my name as I let the barrier around him drop. He was worried about me and just a little bit pissed off. "Don't ever do something like that again."
With Reece's arms around me, I looked out at the terrified faces of the Fae that were looking at me. Most of them were in awe of the fact that I had fought back against Solanum, the others were just too scared to move or talk.. This wasn't good.
