Drunkcards And Nonsense Talk

When Drayce returned to the tavern, he found the scene in front of him unbelievable. 

The entire tavern was in absolute mayhem, with tables and chairs upturned. However, there was no fight. The atmosphere lively with merrymaking, the air thick with laughter and cheers. People were hollering, congregating towards the middle of the tavern, and the noise was so loud that their voices could be heard outside. 

After Drayce got a good look at the situation, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. 

His dear friend, Prince Arlan of Griven, and his brother-in-law, Prince Cian of Abetha, were standing around the table in the center of the tavern hall on the ground floor. Countless empty flagons lay empty around them, and the tavern keeper even had casks placed on a table nearby to efficiently fill up the rows of mugs in front of the two princes. 

A public drinking competition.
