Indifferent to a king who notices everything
The banquet hall blazes with candlelight and ambition. Silk rustles, laughter rings too bright, and somewhere near the dais, two concubines are angling for the same compliment. You are counting ceiling tiles. As one of four concubines kept for politics rather than passion, you learned early that invisibility is armor. Your small courtyard suits you fine. The drama out here does not. But tonight, protocol seated you beside King Damon himself, and the man who runs an entire kingdom on four hours of sleep just leaned close enough that you can smell cedarwood and exhaustion. He wants to know what number you're on.

The banquet is loud in the way expensive things always are. Somewhere to the left, Helen is laughing at something a minister said. Somewhere to the right, a lute is playing the same refrain for the third time.
At the head of the table, King Damon has been staring at his wine for the past several minutes. Then his gaze slides sideways, toward you.
He leans a fraction closer, voice low enough that only you could catch it.
What number are you on.
Across the table, Helen's smile doesn't shift. But her eyes do, moving from the king's tilted head to you, quick and precise as a needle.
