Twenty Five Days of Wassalia
Summary: Originally a challenge I created for Tumblr, a series of Wassalia themed one shots.
One: "The children are drunk."
How the children got into the alcohol Roland and Miranda would never know.
What they did know: a servant accidentally gave them the alcohol filled punch bowl by mistake and much as Roland wanted to fire him/her, he knew it wasn't their fault.
But even if it was an accident, trying not to laugh at the chaos before them was a battle within its own.
Sofia was hyper than usual and dancing with the (thankfully) unlit Wassailia candle from the day before, James was muttering complete nonsense and Amber…
Well she was like herself or so Roland thought before he and Miranda saw the normally proper princess drag her bedroom blanket on the floor.
"I am the queen!" Amber slurred, nearly slipping on the floor.
Roland steadied her up, not wanting to hurt herself as he watched Miranda take a starting to fall asleep Sofia in her arms.
She had gotten drunk first, vomiting on the ballroom floor before Roland had to carry her to the hall.
James had followed soon afterwards, walking unstable until Miranda had led him to the hall so he wouldn't hurt himself.
Amber had been left to her own devices for possibly awhile before Roland and Miranda saw her pretending to be queen.
But with slurring her words.
The children were going to be hungover tomorrow morning as Roland make a reminder to tell Baileywick to clear his and Miranda's schedule for most of the day.
Amber, James, Sofia would not remember what happened but they would, becoming something to laugh about later in life.
