Chapter99

The guy gestured toward a round table with chairs and said, "Please, over here, My King." The King nodded and sat down at the table, with Ella taking a seat across from him. The tavern was deserted before they arrived, but as soon as the few villagers did, it was crowded and lively. A short time later, the man returned carrying a jar and two cups. "I make my drinks myself, Alpha King," he beamed as he decanted the contents of the jar into the glasses.

"And I know you'll enjoy it," When the drinks began to bubble in the cups, King Spenser gave them his whole attention.

He inspected it carefully and said, "What is this?"

"Oh! This is what I like to refer to as bourbon. "

With a chuckle, he nudged the cups closer to his mouth. Please... allow me a few moments to prepare the soup for Your Majesty the King.
