A gift. For the new stand-in Queen. As requested.
It was simple enough, it’s maker either having no need for it, perhaps, or simply finding a reason to give it away. An elegant glass tumbler (the kind to be used, shown off - the kind one might find in a high-falutin’ kind of Rathskellar), wrapped in a cloth and quietly, quickly left near the door of the Manor. Upon opening, one might find that an ‘EL’ is etched in the glass, though that is somewhat less refined than the vessel itself, and clearly not done by the artisan who made the tumbler.
