Grumbling, I sat down on my throne and picked up another paper to read. While I skimmed it, my thoughts turned towards Daphne as they often do when she’s not around. She left with her Mother after the meeting, though it was not by her choice. She had protested to stay and help, but Adorabella pointed out that she still had her own studies to take care of. Adorabella was taking Daphne’s teachings more seriously this year, it seemed. Not all too surprising considering she was the heiress and most of them started their family studies this year. It was why so many of my friends have been at the past two Wizengamot meetings.
