[Alakabam 582]

Fredrick smiles as he hears of the new addition to the glorious Konigreich. He feels euphoric and then throws his fedora off the cliffs close to his house inside Aesterwald. Fredrick continues with the party and gathers large buckets with rice and also throws it down the cliffs towards the graveyard while smoking with his friends and looking back on his large weed farm located inside Aesterwald. "Life is great here!" he shouts towards the large keep of the Konig on top of the mountain next to his smaller looking keep that he shares with the noble Faolain. After he has thrown down all the rice he repeats to gather buckets but this time with cheese in them, freshly harvested from the giant cows that are able to grow huge in the perfect climate of Aesterwald. After he has filled the buckets with cheese he throws it on top off the rice and then looks at his artwork. "Beautiful." he thinks while a tear rolls down his cheek.
