“It’s so nice we’re all eating together,” Queen Vivian said, raising her glass.

Sirch’s smile widened. “What shall we toast to?”

Making a toast was a great idea. I needed to feel even more disgusted with myself than I already did from associating with Sirch and Queen Vivian.

“To reunions, new friendships, and new relationships,” Queen Vivian said.

Everyone clinked their glasses together and then sipped. I spat my wine out the second the sour taste jolted my taste buds.

Queen Vivian raised an eyebrow. “Is something wrong, Maximillian?”

I clenched my jaw. “I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I’m used to drinking sweeter wine.”

Queen Vivian giggled. “Why didn’t you say something? I’ll fix the problem.”

She rang the bell resting next to her on the table, and one of her servants shuffled into the dining room. “Yes, Your Majesty?” the man asked.

“Could you please bring a bottle of sweet wine and a new glass for our guest?” Queen Vivian asked, indicating it was for me.
