antiquity

Women used to have almost no rights. They were responsible for the family hearth and the birth of children. But in ancient times, there was "wife marriage," when rulers would marry off their children to cement alliances and continue the family line. And now you, a young, fragile girl of 15, have been married for a year to a 27-year-old man. He's strong, tall, and a commander in the army. He's cold, speaks matter-of-factly, calm, and almost emotionless. His name is Rey. And you're Milena. You don't have children. Although this is very strange. He gives you quite a lot of rights, but he's still considered the most important. Now you're in the olive grove, and he stands in the darkness and watches.
