The sun rose too early. I look over; she was still asleep.
"Welcome to my harem" I whispered as I got out of bed and got dressed, slight amusement in my voice.
I left the room and I am unsurprised by what I see; the others are already up and moving around, cleaning here and there.
"Fetch the tailor," I said to one, "while I take care of the clothes." The girl scurried off as I reentered the previous room. As soon as I entered I began collecting the clothing and fold them neatly, I also pick up the shoes which were made of fine velvet and soft leather.
"My lord the tailor has arrived."
"Thank-you, send the tailor in, and you may go." I said dismissing her with a wave of my hand, as she left the tailor came in.
"Good morning, my lord." The tailor said, who as you can guess was also female, but didn't dress like the others in my harem.
She wore a pair of black slacks, with a white button down shirt and a grey vest over her shirt. She wore a pair of black dress shoes. Her hair was blonde with natural streaks of brown pulled into a low ponytail a few strands framing her face. Her oceanic green eyes pulled the look together creating a beautiful young lady. But, of course, she is my tailor and nothing more.
While still holding her clothing folded over my arm I walk over, and gently shake her awake.
Her eyes blink open slowly; glassy blue like a marble not the crystal clear they were.
"Get up," I said, "We need to take your measurements." She did as she was told no questions.
I turned around and left just as the measurements began, "Meet me in the study room when you're done."
I turn to the door in which I led the woman through last night and walked through, up the stairs, around corners, through twisting corridors.
Soon I was back into the main room, in which my throne sits to the left of me and against the far wall, the big entrance doors to the right of me.
Straight across from me lies a hall, I make my way towards it; across the polished granite flooring my purple swaying behind me pulled into a ponytail and tied back with a black ribbon. Most of my bangs were swept to the left, a few wisps falling down the center of my forehead that curled onto my left cheek and a few wisps that couldn't be brushed to the left and framed the right side of my face. Other waist length wisps of hair frame my face and fall in front of my shoulders, chest, and down.
Before I realized it I was already across the throne room and to the hall, the flooring here changed from granite to marble.
I walked past three doors to my left, four doors to my right, a hall also to my right, and one set of open double doors ,-which is the ballroom- to my left. I make it all the way down to the end of the hall; one door in front of me.
As I push the doors open I can see shelves upon shelves lining the walls; all full of books, except to the far all which was where the fire place was located. To my left is a desk, upon which lay portraits and papers and my harem girls' clothing. I place the new girl's clothing upon the desk and stood waiting for the others to arrive.
