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..

 "Have the lords gone through the papers we compiled based on the ones retrieved from Moonstone Castle?" Marco asked as his eyes fell onto Draco.

 He smiled before replying; "Aye, my lord. The only three that seem to oppose your decision are Reinbolt-"

 "Ha! No surprise there," Marco scoffed; "How many letters has he tried to send to Sai?"

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