"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."

I couldn't help the smile that tugged at the corners of my lips. Perhaps I was finally losing my mind or maybe the heat was just getting to me. Crazy or not though, it didn’t matter. 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 the door clicked shut, I let out a relieved breath and rolled onto my back. A moment later, there was a soft knock. 


I had the weird sensation of deja vu; a soft knock at the door and then evil entering the room.


Messene entered with a small tray of food and a smile on her face. "Breakfast, Kyrios." She moved silently towards the side of the bed.


I made a gagging sound as she approached. "I asked you not to call me that, Messene. Just Eris, please."


With a pleasant smile, she inclined her head to me in apology and placed the tray on the table next to me. It was a simple breakfast as I'd confessed to her before that the rich and heavy breakfasts were a bit much for me so soon after waking in the mornings.


"Is there anything else that you require of me, Eris?" She stood there, hands clasped before her diligently.


I smiled and shook my head. "No, thank you."
