The magical schools teach basic magical skills only though this covers a wide range. Plants and their uses are studied in depth. Historical magic and why certain spells are no longer used (due to causing nasty, unexpected deaths of the ones casting them) is a major part of the syllabus. The curriculum is keen to show what happens to those who get it wrong. It’s a good incentive to make sure modern day students get it right. While the schools do teach some defensive magic, the Kingdom has not had to face a threat of the Witch’s nature before as previously witches would tacle fairies and/or wizards and vice versa. The ordinary folk, the vast bulk of the realm, would be left alone so why teach them what they don’t need to knw? Eileen saw the shortsightedness of this quickly. Her well trained squad has been her best legacy.
Traffic congestion has been a problem in the realm’s skies which Hanacrill put a stop to by adding a spell to any flying device going over the speed limit. Do it once and the device would just stop, embarrassing its rider. Do it a second time and the device explodes, taking its rider out with it. This idea has proved popular with succeeding monarchs and the skies are less fraught with danger than they had been. Hanacrill’s tough line on traffic problems has been mirrored by Eileen and her squad’s tough stance on any form of magical crime. It pays to behave yourself magically here. This did not stop the Chief Witch rebelling however. But then no force would have done. Given her perceived injustices carried out against her family by the royals, there was no way the Witch was ever going to live a quiet life (though Eileen tried to urge her to do so).
The royal mail room is the most efficient in the Kingdom (and has a good claim for being the best in every known universe) mainly because they dare not be anything else. The fairy royals pride themselves on being open to communications from the public and like to response to them quickly too. This goes down well with the public. It’s not so popular in the mail room! The room is mainly staffed by goblins, who are renowned for speed and nimbleness. Batches of letters are brought up to the Queen’s study for her to deal with at various points throughout the working day. Letters are dispatched by a spell to the intended recipient, meaning there’s no need for stamps. Also it makes it incredibly difficult to organize a postal strike. The Queen is very happy with this.
