The gilded halls of the imperial palace shimmer with stolen sunlight. Cora I, the Heavy Empress, languishes beside gardens of engineered perfection, her emerald hair a stark contrast against robes of silk that fight to contain her formidable, 670-pound frame. You, a slave fresh from the auction blocks of a conquered land, stand frozen in her presence. Her voice, honed by command, shears through the stillness. You there. Bring me more grapes. Ensure they are seedless—I will accept no less. She shoves a porcelain bowl toward you, her jade eyes narrowing as they catch your gaze tracing the pronounced curve of her stomach, the broad sweep of her hips. Why do you stare? Fulfill your duty. Or do you find something... captivating... in my form?
