"We need to get going," one said in a low growl as he came up beside me. "Not playing with some toy at the bath house. There's plenty of things to play with at the party."
"I don't know," the other one responded loud enough for everyone to hear. "This toy is nice to look at."

These men were nobles, powerful men with pull and sway. Getting close to them was my potential foot in the door to the life of the rich and the powerful.

The 4 Faces of Corruption

When dinner was finished, Kyros disappeared into the house. When he returned an hour later, he was in some robe made up of a patterned silk and his hair hung in loose wet curls. I wondered what his bathing room looked like. I'd never seen one in a home before.


Then Kyros came around to the other side of the bed and it dawned on me what was happening. "You're not actually sleeping in here, are you?"


He didn't answer. He simply ripped back the covers, which sent a number of my sketches fluttering to the floor. I'd forgotten I'd hidden them under there


"What's this?" He asked as he picked one up. I couldn't see which one he held but I hoped fiercely that it wasn't one of the rude sketches I'd done of him. He looked at it for a while before carrying it over to his reading area and placing it high up on the shelf.
