"Get out of my eyes!" Orel pushed him down from the dais where the table was located. "It"s your luck I"m kind today."

Squint-Eye didn"t wait for a repeated order and ran out quickly holding his broken nose.

"Well," Orel turned to his friends. "Does anyone else want to get a lesson?"

They kept silent.

"You"ve got out of hand unbearably. Lis, I told you to bring my papers in order, did you do it?"

Lis didn"t answer looking down.

"Did you do it? I"m asking you."

"No," Lis muttered.

"What? Speak louder, I don"t hear you."

"No," Lis said loudly. "I didn"t."

"Good boy! I knew I could always rely on you! And you, Enriki, did you get a pass to the palace for us?"

"But Arel, please understand, it takes time. You see I"m doing my best every day about this pass!" Enriki pleaded.

"No, I don"t see it. I see you sitting here and fucking around. Instead of going to the palace and doing what you can for us. Do I need to go there myself?"

"But Arel, I try, believe me!"

"If by the ball season I don"t have a pass to the palace," Orel sighed, "I don"t know what I"ll do to you, Enriki, but believe me, I"ll do something."

Enriki was silent.

"And you, Tol, did you sort out Asa for her last night behavior at "Backara"?"

"Yes, yes," Tol tensed. "I talked to her."

"He talked to her! Did you hear that? How could you talk to her if she doesn"t understand you and you her? You can only fuck each other! I warn you, if she starts a fight or a scandal ever again, I"ll kick her out together with you, got it?"

"I got it," Tol said looking at Orel with a devoted stare.
