I find reading relaxing and quite enjoyable its one of my favorite past times. So I find my self curled up in a soft couch in my library continuing my study of northern creatures. I had my scribe hire a number of more workers to help with the empire. Accountants, scribes, maids, cooks, and another three hundred trainees who upon seeing the Blood Knights decided their goal in life was to join the order.
They would receive the same degree of training although I did run out of the few easy ways to test loyalty. However a stranded test was what I had in mind anyway. Besides watching them train it felt very different watching the maids and scribes hard at work with in and with out they keep. They lived on the grounds or at least the maids did the new scribes and cooks lived in the Keep closer to their offices and easy to get a hold of.
Terror was now almost always at the military camp overseeing the production of my siege weapons and the retraining of my military. According with the reworking of their equipment I had made another couple changes which removed their heavy four handed swords for a more effective weapon. The Morning Star or at least a rather enlarged version for them I also added a heavy metal shield a Scutum to be precise the roman shield wall was made to be impenetrable. Although theirs where metal and wood not pure metal. The morning star had always been one of my favorite weapons. It was famous for being able to shred steel plate Armour like a hot knife through butter. Its massive amount of blunt force accompanied by the razor tipped spikes covering it was designed to make sure it only ever took one hit to kill a human. And with it bigger more of a constant two handed weapon instead of a bastard type mace. The ones I had made are solid metal hand to ball and spikes solid and unrelenting the handle had a soft and well ripping leather grafted onto it with studding hammered in small round bits to keep it from slipping in case the grafting wasn''t enough. The knights would keep their standard weapons.
I was expecting my military to be completed within the week as they where only being drilled in tactics and the most of the weapons would be done before then. All was well I however had a expedition planed to start tomorrow. So I was reading to make the day go faster. The reason why it was tomorrow is because the army had three ballistae and one catapult made with five hundred troops already done with training all that was left was completion of the final troop wagons. These would carry supplies, ammunition, and the siege weapons with their crews. The basic infantry would still walk. But that was good make them stronger.
After picking three unites of the original Blood knights ( 39 ) for my honor guard I was leisurely strolling through my garden one of the few quite places in the keep now. I was pleased that the magic of the keep kept the garden in order. Not that paying gardeners was not something I wouldn''t do but the lack of people in the gardens was pleasing. Quiet … well not really it was filled with song birds and other cute creatures song birds being the loudest. I ate some of the fruit as I walked through it before sitting at one of the waterfalls where I took my shoes and stockings off to let my feet play in the water; which was cool and pleasant with small rainbow colored fish, gold fish, red, green, and blue fish. The water sparkled and glowed orange in the dusk light.
Laying back on the bank curling my feet up behind me I fell asleep. Waking to a dull light I opened my eyes and found my self looking up at Terror who was carrying me toward the Keep. I fell back asleep and woke up in my bed still in my clothes and warm under my plush quilts. Rising from my bed I undressed bathed and redressed my self in fresh clothes. These where more practical made from a soft white fur in a set of boots ( knee high) leggings, riding skirt, and a jacket. I wore silk underclothes.
Walking from my room and taking the lift down to the library I descended the stairs to the throne room.
There I found one my scribes waiting and standing facing the throne where the expedition forces. As I looked over them I noticed the system messages again. I moved to my throne and and sat down then opened them.

New Beginner Race
The Race of Frost Trolls is now available to beginners. The City of Ice will be their starting point.
Closing the windows out I sat in shock of both the levels and fame I had gained for becoming Queen (includes the killing of the King and the five hundred military commanders)
I was rather concerned about the beginning players arriving in my city and what level of control I might have on them, however with my military I was confident I could crush anything that became a problem before it could escalate. Besides with beginners coming in I could start supplying and adding them into my military. I mean what better way to level up and get good items than a richly payed war in fully supplied army. They could be the front line of my military an immortal force. Laughing evilly for a few minutes I pulled my self back together shock my head and walked to the edge of the dais
The throne room was crowded with troops who where now kneeling to me as I approached them. Terror at their front out fitted in a glowing set of Mithril armor with a giant Mithril great Sword on his back and a horned helmet in the crook of his left arms.
