Cedric leaned over and reached for his cup, only to frown when he realized it was completely dry.
"Fashkire dark brew no longer does the trick," he muttered as he set the cup back down on the desk. "When is Lumieria going to produce something like the Winterberry Blend of the Evrarel empire?"
Winterberry Blend was a coffee made specifically for Dominants. Because higher-grade Dominants possessed incredible bodily resistance, at a point, standard caffeine barely registered in their systems. Winterberry Blend was designed to bypass that supernatural tolerance entirely, processed and graded to match a Dominant's specific tier.
It was so effective that if a Grade Two Dominant accidentally drank the blend meant for a Grade Three, they would be so jittery and could even stay wide awake for more than a solid week straight.
Unfortunately, due to the current friction between the Lumierian Empire and the Evrarel Empire, imports of the Winterberry Blend had completely ground to a halt.
