The three concubines bowed their heads with syrupy smiles, all grace, and deceit. “We were merely offering these two girls some wise advice,” the red-dressed concubine crooned, her smile soft and sweet like a spring blossom. “Exactly,” the blue-dressed one added with a prim nod. “Servants must learn proper etiquette.” Irine and I exchanged a look.

"Yes! Thank you!" She bolted for the door, relief flooding through her veins. Halfway through the doorway, she spun back with theatrical flair, unable to resist one final dramatic gesture.
