The Night after the Day

The old gray man escorted me back to my suite.  There my three ladies greeted me. Their hair was now brown and their dresses black. They hugged me upon my entry. The gray man pushed them aside, and compelled me into the adjoining room. It was huge, like the bedroom, but unlike the bedroom it was decorated with paintings and tapestries. It had one large round table with a topographical map on it. The old man explained.
"This is a map of this world called Mist. It is no ordinary map as you can see. It is three dimensional. You can see all of the valley's and rivers. It is a road map, and it shows all the borders, and cities. It has everything you need to know."
"Is there a road back to my world? The planet Earth?" I asked.
"No. No Road. Your majesty you must start taking your work seriously. I must say your predecessor was much more prepared than you are." Commented Mr. Gray.
"Please, then enlighten me on what I must do to complete my task here." I implored.
"First, you must set up diplomatic relations with the neighboring countries. Remember you are only Empress over them. Their regional leaders must be kept appeased. You are not due to meet with them until the 12th month, but until then you can set up proclamations that will set the tone for your entire rule. The same goes for the prison rules. As far as security goes, I must press that you maintain it as it is until diplomatic relations have been settled. I don't want another undead Queen on my hands."
"Are you telling me the last Queen got turned into a Zombie?" I cried.
"What nonsense! There is no such things as Zombies."
How was suppose to know that? In that world, I had wings, that man was translucent in the light, and  the man in black, from my nightmares, lived there. I didn't know what the rules were. If I had it would have been much more fun. Obviously, every question I asked Mr. gray irked him, but he was my only source of information. I had to find out more.
"Sir, I don't know why I am here. I don't know how I got here. Please have mercy on me, and guide me through this." I pleaded.
To my surprise, Mr. Gray puffed up his chest, and nodded.
"I'll give you one lesson, and if you cannot be the Queen we need by the end of this lesson. I will personally escort you home."
