620 Societal Pressures

 Sheri thanked her King again, then kept relatively quiet for the rest of the conversation. After discussing their respective rewards for a time, the topic turned back to Marco's announcement again. She tried her best to tune it out, but since she would be on protective detail for that day; she had to listen in..

 "Over twenty since they left. Almost as much as your Aunt. What will you do with her?" Draco asked.
