The Queen wants Jennifer in the Kingdom to be a kind of live experiment as a hybrid that can be controlled. It is generally felt that a hybrid would have weaker powers because of that side of it that is non-magical. But the monarch is aware that in the animal realm “mongrels” can often be stronger in terms of overall health. So could Jennifer be “used” to help the health of the magical realm? Naturally Jennifer is unaware of this which is as well as she would throw a thousand fits (literally probably). To say nothing of those her mother would throw… The Queen still plans to get the girl in the realm permanently but for the moment is back pedalling. She intends to act on this again when there’s little chance such an action would be anticipated. Right now, Jennifer and Eileen are highly suspicious so this state of abeyance is likely to last for a while.
The ordinary folk take no notice of Palace shenanigans (though they will lap it all up if Roherum gets hold of any gossip going) and tend to respect the Queen and tolerate the Council. The Council would like more respect but it is the Queen and Eileen that goes to visit the regions and actually talks to the hoi polloi. The Council is considered far more snobby than the royals are and with good reason. The Queen has suggested they visit their constituents more often but this has not gone down well. The Council don’t want to meet the hoi polloi. They just want the hoi polloi to do as they’re told. Eileen’s defection then is the equivalent of an earthquake and tsunami as far as the realm’s concerned. The people don’t want to lose their darling...
There is the beginning of competition for Roherum on the journalism front. A radio system has been set up though he despises this for not showing pictures. He has failed to realise there are times it is easier to listen to something rather than watch it. I hope at a later idea to expand the radio idea and to show it becoming a real thorn in the flesh to Roherum. I expect there to be some good drama and laughs in that. Roherum will, sometimes, copy the techniques of journalists on other worlds. For example, Roherum has picked up on Paxman’s never letting go of a question until it has been answered properly. Regrettably Roherum has nowhere near Paxman’s intelligence. And boy does that show.
