Duke Vespe Ratavo of Rockshire sat in his seat during the coronation, playing with the jewels on his necklace and counting the money in his pocket with one hand and sipping Dr. Pepper out of a golden goblet with the other.

I must say, he whispered to his friend Sir Raistlin, I haven't seen this much money in my life, and this is just the pocket change I got from my lands. Can you imagine how much we'll have once the king starts handing out the dough? It's ridiculous! I can see why there have been so many revolutions in the past...

Upon seeing his friend toast, he stood up as well and shook his cup vigorously.

May our king lead an interesting life.

He guzzled down the rest of his anachronistic beverage and left.
