Royal Palace, Faerie

Strider and Leander had decided that as long as Leda was stuck here for a bit until Portalocity figured out what was going on, she might as well continue her education. After a month, the reasons to postpone her coronation had begun to dwindle.

"The council is growing impatient." Leander told her. "They believe that your education, while important, is not a prerequisite for your being crowned queen."

A week into the second month, a guard had shoved a maid who failed to get out of Leda's way quickly enough. Leda had disarmed him, and slammed him against the wall with one arm twisted behind his back.

"He's new." one of the others explained.

A week after that, an Unseelie Baron, secretly goaded on by Corwyn openly spoke out against Leda. It was a display of dissent that had not been seen in nearly a millenia. He claimed that her time among Humans, Half Breeds, and who knew what other abominations made her unfit to rule. He called her a street rat, a whore, and a traitor.

Leda shocked many when she refused to have him executed for treason. "I'm not going to punish someone for stating their opinion." she said. "Even if he is a total douchebag."

Finally, after two months with no word from Portalocity, Leda, crown princess of Faerie, was crowned, becoming Queen of the Elves and all their territories. In attendance was a delegation from the Dragon Kingdoms, as well as emissaries of the Dwarves, Gnomes, Piskies and other assorted sentient Fae.

If the Dragon Ambassador and her brother's humanoid forms hadn't been so hot, Leda would have considered it the worst day of her life.
