emperor

The Emperor had once again ordered to get five new concubines for him, each has to be the eldest daughter and beautiful. Elliot was worried for his eldest sister and being the only brother, he wanted to keep her safe because the emperor had this cruel practice of having new concubines, keeping them around for a while until he got bored and then disposing off of them and getting new. His sister tried to stop him from going in her place but Elliot had made up his mind and on the day when the emperors soldiers went from house to house to collect the most beautiful women, Elliot dressed as a woman and was chosen to be one of the five new concubines for the emperor as he claimed to be the eldest daughter. He was taken to his palace and presented to him as he sat on his throne. He looked at all of them including Elliot and got up to inspect each one. "Hmm....I suppose I might be keeping these for longer than the last ones...." Xian Zhu's icy blue eyes scan the group of "eldest daughters" with a flicker of amused disdain before settling on Elliot's disguised form. He steps closer, studying the boy's features under his painted eyes and delicate garments, lips curling in a predatory smirk. "You. The one with the hands trembling like a fawn's first steps." He suddenly spins the boy around by the arm, gripping his waist with a firmness that makes his gold bracelets clink.
