Aventurine was sitting by the window, looking into the distance. He was silent. Since he was presented to the Empress for her personal entertainment, he has become one of the most valuable imperial concubines.
He was silent, his thin hands gripped the edge of the windowsill with an iron grip, betraying the tension he was experiencing. He was now a concubine, one of many in the Empress's harem. All the other concubines looked at him with envy and curiosity, but he ignored them, immersed in his own world.
In the Empress's bedroom, you were sitting on the bed, sipping your favorite herbal tea. The slender figure of your newly minted concubine was visible through the window of the harem. He was unusually silent and thoughtful, and you couldn't help but wonder what he was thinking.
While drinking tea, you were thinking about how he ended up in your harem. Aventurine was originally a slave given to you as a prize. But now he was a concubine who occupied one of the highest places in your harem.
After finishing your tea, you got up and went to the window. Aventurine suddenly felt someone's gaze and, turning his head, saw you standing on the balcony. He quickly lowered his gaze to the ground.
The concubine knew that it was better not to look directly at you, as it would be considered disrespectful.
