I went to the next shop in a shitty mood and that was when I found out that I couldn’t even buy anything for Sagan because they didn’t carry anything big enough for her. She wasn’t the normal size of dragon women and they looked at me like I was nuts when I described how large the breasts were.
One told me that it was cool that my lover was a mermaid or other species, but I’d have to shop at one of their stores because any store in Thovudin wouldn’t sell over a B cup bra. Even special orders only went to C.
So ourqueencouldn’t even get something as basic as a fucking bra in her own country?
It was a miracle she was keeping it together at all.

Sagan
It was hard not to chuff or decimate the precinct when the chief of police didn’t even bother standing when I walked through the door. He was sitting in a huge open meeting room watching me approach through the glass windows and didn’t even botherstandingwhen the Queen of Thovudin walked in the room.
Not just a member of the royal family, but the leader.
I held up my hand to hold Benson off when he started chuffing and was about to rage out, glad when he listened and immediately stood down. “I don’t give second chances to people who don’t deserve them and I’m very glad I was right that you wouldn’t.”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about, Your Majesty,” he said as his gaze basically told me to fuck off.
“I bet that happens to you a lot,” I mocked and glanced around before he could even reply. “Who is next in command?”
Thatgot a reaction and the chief stood up. “I don’t know who you think—”
“I’m the queen,” I drawled. “I’m sorry you’re not caught up on current events, but I’m Queen of Thovudin and in charge of Nerthus.” I smirked at him. “And you’re fired.” I looked between a few officers. “Whoever of you is highest ranking, disarm himas is your sworn duty or you will be sharing acellwith him for disobeying direct orders and breaking the law.”
“You don’t have the—” the chief—formerchief tried to argue but flinched when someone immediately moved towards him. “Stand down.”
The taller dragon chuffed and shoved the chief into his seat. “No, you. Mysovereigngave an order and you’re disgusting. A relic of—badge, weapon, and keys. Now, or I will take them and not gently.”
Too many seemed shocked how that man was behaving, but Myriam snorted, giving a nod he was legit when I glanced at her.
I smirked at the former chief. “It seems not everyone was on board with your plan of allowing Nerthus to fall into corruption and lawlessness. It was never going to happen, and I will be punishing every officer who unlawfully turned off their body cameras.”
“You cannot do that, Your Majesty,” a different officer argued. “We were—”
“It is thelaw,” I interrupted, my tone deadly. “If you were given an unlawful order, you were to report it to the head of Nerthus, which was me the moment my father died. Or Benson, and our phones didn’t ring. Nor did the castle’s main line. You were breaking the law and turning off body cams because you wanted to go back to taking bribes and—”
“That’s not at all what—” that same officer snapped.
“Oh, now you’re ours,” Lydia chuckled as one of the other Queen’s Guards grabbed the cop and disarmed him. “Interrupting or disrespecting Queen Sagan falls completely under our jurisdiction.”
“It does,” I purred before looking at the officer who had handled the former chief. “Do you have the officers to control the situation?” I nodded when I saw the worry in his eyes. “TheAlpha of Jade Creek is landing with dozens of his private security and officers from Jade Creek to fill in while we clean house.”
“Your Majesty?” he whispered, everyone in the large meeting room freezing.
I looked back at the shocked former chief. “I should thank you. The Alpha and I got off on the wrong foot, but you were the one thing we could find common ground on and now we’re working together. Well, even. He was impressed a young female made such a bold decision as to how to handle a police chief overreaching his authority.”
He was less than thrilled that was how things had played out, and what came from his lips was enough to make me flush. Benson barely held it together and finally I agreed he was to be taken into our custody, not left with the police or waiting for the Alpha. I’d explain later or… Benson knew best.
I tried to ignore the hostile bile that had just been spewed at me, but it was difficult. I looked back at the officer who had helped. “Are you a deputy chief?”
He flinched. “No, Your Majesty. I’m a commander but…”
He didn’t think any of the deputy chiefs would be on the right side of this.
“Understood. I name you acting chief until the Alpha arrives with the right personnel to put in place. Please accompany me outside for the press conference.”
“Press conference?” the former chief roared. “You cannot call a press conference about the police and reorganize as you want, you bitch. You aren’t the boss here or—”
