64 - Plotting With a Nearly Naked Woman
Next day I had Ancherao brought into the Winter Palace openly. My Mahid didn’t show their surprise, of course, to find her unbound, but I knew they were.Binshala left the midmorning meal on the table and curtsied her way out. “God morning to you... Have you been fed? Do you need to clean up?”“Good morning. Yes, to both of those if it’s allowed.”“Certainly. You may use the bathing cascade in

Author's Note...
Hey guys... here it is! Thanks for the comment. No fever tonight... just exhausted... Let's just say I have a lot more sympathy for asthma sufferers... If it hadn't gotten any better today I'd've hauled my butt into the little hospital in the village or to my doctor. Hey, there's a lot more story to write!By the way... if you guys get Discovery Channel I suggest you try watching the new

“Now my son, I suggest that these Yeoli slaves be moved deeper into the Empire and you should place the more domesticated slaves into your new district. You will have less problem that way.”“That makes sense, Divine Father. May I look more closely at them?”He waved an expansive hand, and heaved Himself up onto His feet, so I had to jump up. “I am fatiqued by all this excitement, my minimal, have

62 - Minisania
Haiksilias threw a complete tantrum because I had wiped away his day’s work, but after he threw his brushes at the wall and kicked his empty easel over, everything was all right. I owned up to having destroyed his work, promised faithfully not to touch the wet painting again. He stared at me."I've had my work critiqued before, but THIS was HARSH!”“I understand, Master Painter. Was Kurkas a

61 - A Silver Aan Sunburst With All the Rays Broken
The question bothered me all afternoon and Haiksilias was happier because I stopped moving my mouth. Father had said it had to be this canvas, that Haiksilias use. Why were my and Ilesias’s faces being painted over someone else’s? It made no sense.It was near dinner when Ilesias woke up again, made a squinched up face and a really rude noise. “Kaita… he’s stinky again. Haiksilias, are we

59 - The Real Imperial Sword
Dear Che:Father has forbidden me to associate with you. I am going to be developing an interest in someone else in the Mezem but I’ve just started sword training so I won’t have much time. It’s the same teacher who runs ‘The Bellicose Arts for Young Aitzas’, Master Ririan. He doesn’t like us getting all smelly working out and is very careful that we get the forms right. I think Koree is a
