Sylvie's mother just mmnot minding the other 2 been teleported back was amusing. But then again if i recall Sylvie id from a Militant family so adventurers the norm
I'm guessing that the king is going to try to repair the initial engagement. That's my thought on it if you're looking to increase drama in this right now. That'd be the biggest thing. That the ex-fiancee "suddenly came to his senses" and wants to get back with Sylvie, but is actually planning to off her because he's still too far gone and wants to try again. That's what would cause the biggest drama. That the ex tries to set up a trap.
Yes. There's a fair variety of preserved pork that are similar to bacon that can be used raw.
In this case, from the looks, it's cured and smoked pork belly. Could be any one of the hundreds of local varieties you find in western mainland Europe.
