Sunlight filtered through the tinted windows, adding colour to the shadow and magic of Kalani’s movement. She was telling a tale as old as time, of adventurous souls on an perilous journey. Elena had been charmed the moment the story-weaver began, but her body was weary and her eyelids were heavy with Morpheus’ sand. Nadia had coax their smallest companion onto her lap, her warm hand tracing the enthusiastic marks on a delicate back, souvenirs from their earlier love making.
The moment Elena’s eyes had closed, Aurdis felt comfortable enough to weave her fingers through the fine strands. Smoothing the tousled mane of someone that had been thoroughly and lovingly focused upon.
Kalani glimpsed the unusual vulnerability Aurdis directed to their youngest companion. She may be a seasoned performer, but her face showed more pleasure than would befit the dangerous situation her characters were encountering.
Aurdis caught Kalani’s gaze and gave a wink, her expression returning to one of casual pleasure. She pressed a lingering kiss to Nadia’s lean neck, the hand she had curled into Elena’s hair slipping into their Empress’ open robe. “Tell me Kalani, is your tongue as cunning in another task?”

Parameters of our world: Harem!Au
Nadia is ruler supreme, the Empress to a flourishing Vesuvia. Decades of success have sprouted countless rumors. The most credible source her natural affinity for divination as the key to her prosperous reign. She foretells seasons of bounty and drought, of approaching warriors and plagues to a degree that makes her seem omnipotent. She always prepares her people, so her riches and esteem grows with each defeated omen and obstacle.
It’s not a custom she demands, but it’s her fortieth, and the neighbouring kingdoms use this as an excuse for tribute. They want leniency and her favour. They offer up brides, too numerous to count. Nadia humours the idea, never thinking she’ll take any potential companions, and yet she allows three to remain.
The stability of her palace shifts, whether that be for better or worst, only time will tell.
