    Arabella was getting pensive. She had handed the report on Fangtasia to the King three days ago and he still had not called her in to discuss it. She finally made up her mind to be proactive. After the fallout from things with Brianna, she had a bit of time, so she went to the guard by the King's door.

    "I would like you to tell the King that Miss Trillo is here to discuss the inspection report from Fangtasia. It has been three days and there are a few points that raise flags with me that I would like to speak to him on. Go ahead in, I'll wait here."

    She watched as the guard marshaled his resolve and slowly opened the door to the King's office, slipping in to deliver her message.

    After a pleasant evening with Kiara and now a stack of unanswered voice-mails and emails were beginning to back up and he knew that he was going to have a busy evening trying to clean through them all. It was only just after 9, a few hours after sun-set. But Bill knew that he would be locked away in his office for the remainder of the evening getting things sorted out. Glancing up from his computer screen as Dexter appeared through the door and gently closed it behind him.

    "Your Majesty...Miss Trillo would like a meeting with you to discuss the Fangtasia report" he commented.

    The whole Fangtasia report had slipped his mind, he had placed the file away in a drawer and not had a chance to go through it. Opening his drawer as he quickly searched it out as he flipped through Arabella's findings so that he was a little up to scratch a little on things.

    "Send her in Dexter...Thank you" he dismissed as he had his eyes glued to the Fangtasia report.

    Arabella smiled as she was immediately shown into the King's office. She nodded out of respect before entering the room.

    "I appreciate you seeing me, your Majesty. There were a few details in the report I would like to go over with you, as well as one detail that is not in the report but I believe you will find of interest."

    She smiled as he motioned for her to sit.

    Bill motioned for Arabella to sit down in one of the chairs in front of his desk as he heard her comments about something that might be on interest to him.

    "Well please do go ahead" he encouraged Arabella.

    After his call from Willa Burrell yesterday, Fangtasia was already getting on his nerves.

    "Most of the issues are in the report as you can see. the majority of what I noticed that is a few construction pointer behind schedule and some inventory issues. Two points of  concern really come to mind. Firstly apparently they're intended to serve extremely high ended bloods at this restaurant did they are attaching to the bar. we're talking five digit bottles. I'm just concerned that that might be out of the price range for the clientele the club will gather."

    She braced herself before continuing.

    "The other point that I thought you would find a particular interest was the one that I left off of the report. miss Burrell has contacted Jonathan about being their primary supplier. I know that Pam use him to get more custom items for the bar side as long as hard to find items when she was around. my concern with it is the fact that you were a silent partner in this club and I thought you might take issue with him being a supplier for business you're connected to."

    She smoothed out her skirt and waiting for him to respond.

    Bill listened to her concerns about the variation of prices for bottle blood for a restaurant part of Fangtasia that they were adding on.

    "A restaurant? In Fangtasia?" he repeated.

    He glanced over the report again and the figures as it seemed that Miss Burrell was way out of her league in attempting to run Fangtasia.

    "You are correct...I do not want John any where near this place....and I want a stop on the high priced bloods. It is a bar...Not a tourist attraction for wining and dining.....I want you to speak with Miss Burrell about this. I will pull rank if I have to....You wanted more duties, well consider this your first one. Any changes at Fangtasia I want you to document...and bring back to me. I will not have Louisiana become a freak show" he ordered.

    Arabella smiled and nodded.

    "I will make arrangements to meet with both miss Burrell and miss Thornton as soon as possible, and it will be my pleasure to find alternative source for their supply. I told you before Your Majesty, my loyalty is to my King above all else."

    she lowered her eyes for a moment and then smiled looking up.

    " I'm glad you're pleased with my report,Your Majesty. It is my hope that you will always be as satisfied or more with any task that you assign me."

    she smiled and rose to her feet.

    " I am sure that your Majesty has more than enough on his calendar for the day. I will, with respect, take up no more of your evening."

    "Well you have proven to more than capable of any task that I have given you...I do not need Miss Burrell throwing a tantrum because she cannot get her own way....You have my permission to do whatever you need to do to get Fangtasia back into a formidable business. I may not have agreed with Eric Northman on many things but his business meant everything to him. It is out of respect to him that it remains how it once was....Silent partner or not. Do what you must to get things back to how they were" he instructed.

    Closing the report file as he placed it on the desk as he did not want to deal with this right now. Fangtasia could wait, he had placed Arabella in charge of overseeing how smoothly everything went at the bar.

    "There is something else that we shall discuss at a later date, but for now I need your attention focussed on the bar. Once you feel that it is capable of bringing in a substantial tribute then we can talk further" he smirked.

    Arabella smiled and nodded.

    " I'll be certain to keep you updated with my progress Your Majesty. in the meantime please let me know if there's anything else I can do to eat some of the burden you're under."

    She smiled a slightly wicked smile and brought up Cassia's request.

    "There is one small detail with in the household that, with your Majesties permission of course, I would like to take care of. Cassia has developed a fondness for one of the female guards and she spends a lot of of time in the day with her. with your permission i would like to assign this guard to be her personal protector. They get along quite well and she knows now to act in less than formal situations."

    One of the female guards? Bill was not aware that he had any female guards, well that showed him that he did not pay much attention to the guard system. Perhaps that was one of Dexter's idea's that he had not been listening too.

    "If that is what Cassia wishes then I see no problem with it. If that is what makes her comfortable then I shall make Dexter aware of the new change" he assured Arabella "Is there anything else that you need to discuss?" he questioned her.

    "Your welcome....Now I have some things that I need to get done...I hate to sound rude by doing so..." he lied.

    On the surface it would appear that Bill would be working on some meaningless emails, but there was something more private that Bill had to attend to...Something that he did not want anyone else to know about.

    Waiting until Arabella bowed and excused herself from the office, Bill had plenty to do, and something that did not involve Fangtasia.
