Chapter 443 - Reece - Forming A Castle (Volume 3)

The day after we got home a discussion started over breakfast. The day before, Valerian, my Little Bunny's great great great grandfather, or Athair mór, had mentioned making the house into a castle with Fae magic. I knew that it was possible, I just didn't know how.

The discussion that started was actually about how big, how many of each room was needed, and what style we wanted to fas.h.i.+on it after. The estate was already over thirty thousand square feet, or about two thousand eight hundred square meters. I thought it was large enough as it was, but Valerian didn't quite agree.

In a way, I could agree with him. What if we were to hold a meeting and we needed to house the n.o.bles or the council that we were going to form? If that were to ever happen, we would need to have a place for all of them to be. We had a lot of s.p.a.ce as it was, but not nearly enough for hundreds of people to stay if the need ever arose.

Right now, the discussion was on what forms of castles we all admired and what would be best for us up here. Now that we weren't part of Colorado Springs anymore, we didn't need to get permission from them to change things. That made things a lot easier for us in this aspect. It would also be a lot harder to explain to the city how things had been built so rapidly.

"Personally, I have always liked the castles and chateaus in France the most." Little Bunny was thinking about this seriously, I could see a crease in her brow.

"Hmm, are you sure you wouldn't rather go with something more Celtic in appearance? Or perhaps even a true Fae castle?" Valerian was talking fast with excitement.

"No, I think the French look would be best in this area. They are not over the top so it won't be too much of a shock when others come to see it for the first time. I don't want to scare my people. And, to be honest, most of them aren't Fae. Even though I am, I cannot craft this only after my heritage. I need to think of my people as well." Little Bunny was thinking in a larger aspect, something that I had noticed she started taking more seriously while we were at the Fae compound.

"Alas, you are correct, Trinity my dear. I was not thinking clearly when I made my suggestion." Valerian hung his head and admitted his fault. "Now, shall we start drafting a floor plan?"

His excitement returned almost immediately and the discussion continued. I think Valerian just wanted to prove that he was capable of being there for his family in any way that he possibly could. I was happy to see the thought and effort going into all this planning; however, I just thought it was all happening a little fast.

Fast or not though, it needed to be done. We couldn't start planning the court system within our little world without a place for it all to take place. It took us approximately three hours, if that, to map out the floor plan of the new castle.

The new residence was going to take up a lot more s.p.a.ce than the current one so magic was being used to clear out and level the land that it was going to encompa.s.s. I stood and watched as Valerian and my Little Bunny used their magic to accomplish this.

There was going to be a large decorative front lawn, but nothing compared to the castles in Europe. The driveway would circle up in front of the main doors, and there were to be large roll up doors that looked like stone, and probably were, but still moved like regular garage doors. They were also building a ma.s.sive underground garage that the future visiting n.o.bles and the like could park in. The main garages, one on each side on the entrance, was meant for the royal families and future grand n.o.bles.

The castle itself was going to be more than ten times larger than the estate was and it was going to take on a whole new shape once it was done. The actual castle was going to be forty thousand square meters or around four hundred and thirty thousand square feet, give or take a little.

The castle was going to have large towers at each of the four main corners with two slightly smaller towers along each main wall such as major entrances at the front and back and the middle of the side walls. There were also going to be three large towers in the middle. To be totally fair, it was kind of one large central tower with two towers that were nearly as big coming out of the sides of that main one.

Those central towers stood at ten stories high. The corner towers were eight stories, and the towers along the middle of the outer walls were six stories high. The rest of the castle went to four stories.

The central towers in the middle of the castle were above the throne room, grand dining hall, and grand ballroom (which was now a lot bigger than the one we had already had!. Above those rooms, which had ceilings that were three stories high, were the offices. A dozen offices in all, in the middle were mine and Trinity's then the five on the other sides would be a.s.signed as time went on. Some were going to Noah, Vincent, Gabriel, and Paul as they all had important jobs to do.

Above the offices in those towers were residential areas. To be more precise the very central tower was for Trinity and I to live in with our children and the towers to either side were the residents for the high n.o.bles when they visited us. The n.o.ble towers were basically glorified bedrooms that were larger than most apartments while my Little Bunny and I had a six story mansion above the throne room. The entire top floor of which was going to be our bedroom.

Throughout the main floors there were the other lesser dining halls, kitchens (two small ones as well as a ma.s.sive one for when there were grand meetings and celebrations). There were also meeting rooms for visiting dignitaries, a theater room, indoor pool, and lesser ballrooms. There were also those magical residential areas like the one we stayed in while at the Fae compound. These residential areas took no part of the square footage of the actual castle and would shape themselves to the needs of those who moved into them. These would be reserved for guards that had families and other staff that needed to live in the castle.

The fourth floor of the main part of the castle will contain the guest rooms for the visiting members of our n.o.bility and other amba.s.sadors, or anyone else who needed to stay in the castle. The back towers were primarily going to be used for the storage of different types. The front west tower was going to be the daycare that my Little Bunny had wanted to start before life got in our way. This was going to be even better now though, since there was an area that she can literally make to her specifications. There were eight floors in all for the tower, and it could be divided up by different age groups. Not to mention Trinity wanted to have different cla.s.ses, lessons, and clubs for the kids in that daycare. The areas of study and interest would vary from improving education to cooking, sports, scouting, learning to fight, music, art, and more. She was still a Luna, and she still wanted to take care of all the kids.

Oh, and needless to say, there would be multiple points throughout the castle where there were elevators, especially in the towers. There was just way too much to expect everyone to have to walk to the central staircases. I could imagine what come of the staff would have to say if they had to walk what felt like a f.u.c.king mile just to go up the stairs. Yeah, they would hate us for sure.

I was just trying to imagine this whole caste and what it would look like when it was all done.. It was starting to seem a little unbelievable to me.
