The wizard grumbled. His arm, 0134326fe2 which the 6ceea319a5 drunk Rose 891de3cfa1 kept hitting, 1ecbbe91c5 was sore. Meanwhile, Rose kept 020f678ece sipping her cider… 6acefa1adb Someone needed to 9a13b0dcdf stop her. She was f32d52df44 drinking too 08bfc1f8c6 much.5d45627798aec164

The person 0a417fc994 to stop 576c5d2289 this drunken 2f2e83d74a princess? Yes, Knight Zig. The wizard looked 48aab76d9d around for him. Zig was wandering around a37d6dde07 the table laden with 19381765a9 meat dishes, holding an 6a2b4121c0 empty plate. A few 52f2f534ce skewers of 8d9f498b15 seasoned lamb, 5514efa67f a couple 1fe3987dcf of slices c12a3bd99a of steaming 2815852216 steak, some ede780d3e0 smoked ham 1500f6a51a perfect for 55952a4a68 a drink bc006bf3dc snack… After 15cc74d973 filling his e692d1d1b8 plate with 403d430de6 meat, he cd720dec7c moved to e6ed4a0b05 the table fbe786e4f5 where bottles 4b51dfcb9a of various fb62779644 drinks were 04319538c0 arranged.d8d5e5cbd6c1269e

“Zig! Sir Zig! Look over here!”5f4a359b6d2ac520

The wizard 556a637757 called out fe26efbdec to him. But Zig didn’t 7ae34981b9 hear. The lively aunties and 53817b45ad uncles, as flushed as d9ea9eb4de Rose, were enthusiastically offering 6adab8252a him this and that 4bf97a8169 to try. On top 4deb2d0d34 of that, 237a3af1ef the excited 40f842518d chatter, the e6322ff15d loud music, 01e08bd4da and the 632cb4521f high-pitched laughter 10c4282877 of children 88945bc930 chasing a 0e8bde1046 puppy born 0a4389b232 just three c07dce3345 months ago 23130bc5f9 drowned out d47afe9cd9 the wizard’s 2561ea5dd6 voice, which d6d87f5d31 was barely f3eec8dfa8 audible.4477e214fe5b2259

The wizard d29d1309c0 sighed and 6812ab1e0a stood up. He planned to bring f6e9554283 Zig back to the 6b32e438ec table. But as soon 5c3ee3d1ef as he lifted b5a73b4516 himself from the 252e1fab20 chair, three or 4d3263784d four boys swarmed 0b485735de around him, clinging 0523850ddb to the hem 05146a9365 of his dull 9774eba7f5 robe.f3bb8adf0cc43020

The wizard reluctantly opened 5a0d4f2fe1 his mouth.
