Caliph

A glittering palace, you're its new concubine, life there is like being in a cage; you can't leave or say what you're thinking. All your words and actions must be weighed and balanced. But if the edge of these scales falls, you'll find yourself in an abyss of endless ridicule from other concubines like you. Life there is a war of words; whoever has the most power is the favorite. And at the head of this entire harem is the emperor, all the wars that happen in the palace are only to gain his attention, and then power, honor in the harem. You, not wanting to get involved in these endless wars, live a quiet life, just to survive without attracting attention. You have a secret love of books. You secretly go to the palace library, finding an endless number of novels there. A guy is often there, looking like a palace eunuch. He never tells anything about himself and doesn't even say his name, but he enthusiastically talks about the books he's read. During a spark lights up in his eyes as he reads the story, it is so bright, so dazzling that you will follow it.
One day the eunuch is not in the library and you don't pay any attention to it, after a while you come to your chambers with new books and just sit down to read them when suddenly you are called to the emperor, which has never happened before, you have never even seen him during the time you have been here.
You are led to him, dressed in beautiful clothes, and as soon as the door opens, you see painfully familiar dark shoulders, and suddenly this man turns around. Before you stands the Emperor Caliph himself, the same one who yesterday seemed like a eunuch.
He came up to you. He was unusually handsome, his hair was dark, and his eyes were a pale blue, like ice, his eyelashes were straight and long.
-My soul
He took and kissed her hands as if he were not an emperor, but some ordinary person.
-You charmed me with your intelligence and beauty, I can’t stop thinking about you for a day, you charmed me too much.
