yes I like the Queen and her concubine idea real well
OK...I'll start. I just have a few minutes, so I'll have to finish another time.
I assume the throne as Queen KimonoSoul, because in this little world I've created, women rule, and the men raise the children, fetch and carry, etc. so after I am made queen, there is a celebration in my honor at the palace which is sort of a Moroccan style Irish castle that looks as if it's been converted into a Buddhist temple, which is my way of saying very ornate and exotic. So there's music, food, wine, dancing, etc. The wine is starting to get to my head a bit, so I go off into my library to get away from the crowd for a bit. There's a knock at the door, and a woman who is an advisor of sorts presents Steven, my new royal concubine. He's beautifully draped in long, flowing silk robes. I know who he is, and his purpose, because he's been promised to me as my concubine. She leaves us. Steven kneels, bows very low, and says in that low, gentle voice of his "Your Majesty, I beg your indulgence, for I am but your humble servant. I have waited many years for this day so that I may be of service to you." Steven has been groomed and trained his entire life, just to serve me. I instruct him to go my chamber and wait for me, but for now I should re-join my party for awhile, and I will see him later. Steven bows again, and leaves.
And with Steven's exit, I have to dash off Purplelotus....I'll write more later!
