MEMOIRS OF A CONCUBINE
Author's Note: A gracious "TAHNK YOU" goes out to my kind readers and reviewers!!!! The issue of the brevity of my chapters has been brought to my attention several times. Although Lotus, desires to be a scribe and enjoys journaling her thoughts, emotions, and actions, keep in mind that she is first and foremost the Pharaoh's concubine-------and a very preoccupied one these days!!!! :0) Please keep in mind too that this is not a narrative but a collection of daily journal entries each one possessing the possibility to vary in length. I hope that you will continue to enjoy reading "Memoirs" and as always, I do appreciate your reviews!!!!
Of course I don't own YGO------never have----never will!!!!!
This afternoon I had the rare opportunity to take my midday meal with the other concubines. Needless to say the conversation was quite lively and spiced with so much succulent gossip! Just about everything was discussed-----from beauty secrets to bedchamber romps!!! I almost immediately developed an authentic respect and admiration for each of these ladies. First, there's Jasmine. As dimwitted and socially awkward as she is, she makes up for it in the fact that she is very young (younger than the rest of us). Her innocent face and lack of cynicism is like a garden breeze. When I explicitly described what Yami and I did in the Vast Shrine last night, she swooned and fell from her place at the dinning table. It took a team of five skilled physicians to revive her!!! Poor Jasmine. Sometimes the others tease her----spreading rumors about her frigidity whenever she's with the Pharaoh. I would imagine that Jasmine in simply shy and dislikes listening to the detailed accounts of saucy indulgences . On the contrary, there's Jade------who nearly knocked me into my lentil soup when she patted me on my back to congratulate me on my escapade the previous night! The others say that Jade was a warrior princess who rescued the Pharaoh from being devoured by a crocodile. They say that Jade wrestled the crocodile to it's back and snapped it's neck with her heel!!!! A tall tale? Perhaps. Nevertheless the young Pharaoh was quite smitten by her strength and stamina and he rewarded her bravery-------every single night for an entire month!!! Jade's self-confidence and exquisite zeal is contagious. I can definitely understand why Yami would welcome her into his bed! Then there's Iris. She's not much of a conversationalist. She prefers to remain detached and aloof. Throughout our steamy chatter, she would often roll her eyes at the rest of us as if her own fecees didn't produce it's own stench! "May the gods punish you for your abomination within their hallowed walls!", she chided me. Foolish old woman! (For she is after all ten years my senior!) I imagine that she is only jealous, and bitterly desires her youthful body once more. She was the Pharaoh's very first concubine possessing the notion that one day she would be his queen. "I was the first! I will be the last!" She insisted clenching her fists. I couldn't help but smile to my self thinking: "Oh, we'll just see about that----won't we!" The others say' "Beware Iris!" "She's shiftless, conniving, and extremely delusional!" They also say that Iris believes that she is Queen Nefertiti------reincarnated!!!! Of course I don't believe that pile of horse dung. Well last but not least, there's me------ with my petite stature and my.....um....."pomegranates". Witty? Perhaps. Intelligent? Well, I would like to think so. Passionate? I think that I will allow Yami to decide that for himself!
Towards the end of the day, I felt a sort of camaraderie among these women. We are like flowers in a royal garden---each one possessing unique qualities-----longing to be picked and cherished by our beloved Pharaoh.
