"I gifted you twelve Gelan dancers, captured from the Gelan royal court when I stormed it," Rommel emphasized to Liu Shock. "Their veils have never been removed by anyone and are the kind prone to double the price. These royal performers, known as courtesans, have been nourished from childhood solely on camel milk, honey, and roses, giving them skin soft enough to break with a blow and a body that exudes a unique fragrance. You've seen the golden bells on their bodies; those aren't worn temporarily like other dancers but are pierced through like the rings on the noses of your Beamon Tauren. With the slightest movement, it creates a soul-stirring, bone-corroding ring. I bet the Gelan Sultan is furious. He didn't even have the chance to enjoy them himself before I took them all."
"You and I aren't so different!" Liu Shock bellowed with laughter. "Others plunder and offer their loot to the king first; I always keep it for myself."
