Right after the griffin flew away the people of the procession began to wake. As if the griffin had put a sleep magic on them. And everyone was surprised that Her Majesty was already awake. A servant must not wake later than the master. You always wake early, put yourself in order, then meet the master, so the whole lot felt a sense of sin at waking later than Her Majesty?
For that reason Her Majesty being outside caused problems in various ways, so we had her go into the carriage. Of course I did not go in. I climbed onto the driver's box. Breakfast was distributed at once. Hard bread, hard dried meat, and wine. I and the three Eisleben, and Her Majesty, had wine. The other attendants had water. We have not left the gorge yet so they will save as much as they can, I hear, and I and the three Eisleben received it as a reward for dropping wyverns. Meaning please fight if wyverns come again! expectation fee included.
