Drunk and drugged

On the last day of the banquet, Kadden was walking down the stairs leading out of the main hall, his movements unsteady as he swayed from side to side.

"I definitely overdid it with the drinks last night," Kadden mumbled to himself, clutching his aching head.

Their progress in the Heartgrasp Empire could only be described as a success. Before the banquet started, everyone viewed Tyrell as a lost case, with nobody taking him as a serious contender for the throne. However, thanks to Kadden's influence, a significant number of nobles decided to support Tyrell, including many high-ranking ones.

This was shocking to everyone, as high-ranking nobles had access to far more information than their lower-ranking counterparts. Their actions influenced many of the lower-ranking nobles, and in the last days, Tyrell emerged as a serious contender for the throne.
