In the ballroom of Aretuza the banquet continued, but had changed its form to something

more traditional and intimate. Tables had been removed, sorcerers and witches had brought

into the room sofas, chairs, and stools from who knows where, they sat on the and engaged in

various amusements. Most of the diversions might have been considered tactless. A large

group sat around a huge barrel, drinking, chatting and occasionally bursting into raucous

laughter. Those that had long exercised the search for appetizers with silver forks, now

shamelessly gnawed mutton ribs that they held in both hands. Some played cards with

passion, contempt for those around them. Some slept. In one corner, a couple was kissing

passionately and with the eagerness with which they did showed they were not going to

confine it to kissing.

‘Just look at them, witcher.’ Dijkstra leaned over the balustrade of the gallery, watching

the sorcerers from a height. ‘How they play happily, you’d think they were youths.

Meanwhile, the Council has been pried and almost all of its members are on trial for treason

for allying with Nilfgaard. Look at this park. Just seek a secluded corner, and before the end

of a fuck, Vilgefortz will already be hanging from a rope. Ah, the party, a kiss and a flower...’

‘Shut up, Dijkstra.’
