*Sterling POV* Listening to Asteria tugged at my heart strings, but I couldn't let the way I felt about my aunt get in the way of the job that was ahead of me. Grace and I aren't even fully in charge yet, and we already have so much on our plate. Right now, it's just the four of us sitting on the back porch drinking coffee and talking about the day's events. Tomorrow, I will let Roman know about the sentence decisions for his mother, father and sister. I just hope he takes it alright. It's our first official act as Kings and Queens, and I honestly wish that it was something different. Putting someone to death can't be a good feeling, but then again, it can't be a good feeling to constantly be looking over your shoulder either. "How do you think he is going to take it?" I asked Grace.
