King Philip, already drunker than usual, beckoned his wife over when he saw her enter the banquet hall.
"Your Majesty, you should not drink so much," Cleopatra reproached, "It's bad for your liver."
"It doesn't matter," Philip said with a dismissive wave. "A banquet celebrating a war victory—even Dionysus would be particularly lenient."
(Dionysus, god of wine in Ancient Sirius mythology)
While Peggy was quietly enjoying her pudding, a Macedonian noble approached her with a wine glass to chat.

Peggy set down her fork and gave him a toothy smile.
