Capítulo 65: High on Firewater

Celestia's POV: 

After I took a sip from the goblet, the Mages cheered for me. "All hail the Dawn," the crowd shouted in unison. I was overwhelmed by their appreciation. 

Then it was Lord Magnus's turn to drink the firewater. The Mages now applauded the Lord of the Northern region. "Long live Lord Magnus," they all cried out. 

Only after that, the rest of the Mages drank from their goblets. This one seems like a ritual! So in this ritual, the commoners drink from their cups only after their leaders drank. It is fascinating to realize how the different regions of the realms have various customs. 

I am glad that the ritual didn't involve emptying the goblet. I was still uncertain about this firewater. It tasted very sweet and sour at the same time.

And I was so mad at Theo. He told me that there were ruby berries in it, but I could taste only grapes! I frowned at Theo, who was now watching the Mages dance.
