Not enough women to bed (Double chapter)

"You are finally here," Makary raised his eyes up to the two of us as we entered the room already filled with all sorts of figures. 

The crowd inside was actually much bigger than I expected. 

Instead of just me, Fay, Makary, Etaria, and maybe the two of Makary's aides slash lieutenants, there was a total of around forty people gathered inside and seated along all the sides of a massive, square table. 

With a glance, I counted up to a total of twelve people of imperial affiliation with Etaria at their head. When it came to the earth's side, there was Makary along with a total of nine of his men, with me, Fay, and Kash filling up the count of twelve. 

Lastly, for the third side in what should be a two-sided discussion, a group of six managers and six most heavily prompted imperial workers were present to represent the interest of all the fifty thousand workers within the camp and the further twenty-five thousand that would join it before the month's end.
