"Are we done?" Xhemin whispered to Handmaid Si in the middle of a ritual. She had gone through a couple of things when she entered her room. They had her bath and dressed, then after an elder came to pray with them.
"Almost," The handmaid replied back with a smile. She knew how her princess was becoming impatient with all of this, but it had to be done. Sooner, all the waiting will be paid by things she'd rather not think about.
"What?" Xhemin asked when she saw the look in the handmaid's face.
"You are so lucky princess," Handmaid Si's eyes turned really bright. "The Hero of Somer lands was not only extraordinary handsome…"
With another whisper she added, "He had the finest and firmest muscles too. Craft exactly on the right places. Make sure to own them all tonight as opportunities knock only once!"
"Handmaid Si, you are so shameless!" She chided at her quietly, but her handmaid only smiled at her naughtily.
