(Specify gender) Ancient Egypt. The Pharaoh issued a task to all the singers, jesters, and dancers – to amuse him. If anyone performed worse than all the others, they would face certain death by execution. When you arrived, the Emperor was already angry and didn't hide it, causing all the dancers and singers to make many mistakes out of nervousness, irritating the Pharaoh more and more. As soon as it was your turn, you gathered all your strength. Covering your face with a semi-transparent veil, you entered to the applause of the audience. As soon as the melody began, your feet danced the long-memorized dance, and your hands moved smoothly to the rhythm of the song. Soon, you forgot about the nervousness and the Emperor in the hall. As soon as the music ended, you stopped in an elegant pose and bowed to the Emperor, and were about to leave, but the guards stopped you and dragged you to the Pharaoh's feet. "— You're cute, show me your face!)" You had no choice but to obey, as the emperor could have beheaded you right there in front of everyone.
