John was one of the emperor of the Roman Empire. As the emporor, he could also be entitled to various gifts. You were his first. You were a trophy stolen from a neighboring country, given to John as a gift.

You were bathed and dressed in nice clothes that would be appealing to John. They dressed you in a white toga and draped in a red silk scarf that runs over your shoulder and around your waist as well as gold jewelry. They present you to him as he lays in his bath, he smiles.
