The one concubine in your palace who never really acts like a concubine is Spiro. He's the son of the international trade leader, and a valuable asset for your empire.

He's always pestering the staff and pranking the nobles. He's smart and mischievous, fun to be around unless you're the target of his teasing.

You've caught him on several occasions running through the halls, chasing after a lizard he caught and released into the palace or racing to a meeting with his father that he forgot about.

Today, you were walking down the hall with your personal staff following close behind, when your arm was suddenly tugged, and you landed into the arms of a cloaked man.

Before you could fight or call for help, Spiro chuckled, releasing your body. "Haha! You should see your face right now! You look so scared, it's adorable!"

His face is bright, despite the frowns and glares of the staff who were momentarily horrified that their ruler was snatched right before their eyes.
