Message: <blockquote data-quote="Khuxan" data-source="post: 4597611" data-attributes="member: 38801">One ambitious widow uses her beautiful virgin daughter as an excuse to flirt, banter and manipulate her own way back into married life.Another noblewoman's husband was among those killed by the invaders. Delighted to be finally free of her brutish husband, she openly seduces a general of the invading army. A young noblewoman, elevated through the ranks by the untimely deaths of her parents, has appropriated their "herbs" to seek vengeance on the barbaric invaders.A civil servant, greedy for renown but not wealth, sees the invasion as an opportunity to launch a public works program - but thirty long years in a dead-end job has made him hysterical and insistent. One of the dancers is a red-faced lieutenant disguising himself as a woman now he is a wanted man.The self-styled Prince of Thieves of the city has chosen the party as the site of a demonstration that the city cannot run without him.Two guards eagerly anticipate their midnight tryst, distracting them from their post at a very inopportune time.The grand party is the first time the Noble Vizier's wife has been in public since their marriage - so it is unfortunate she is so enamoured of the king.A servant has fallen in love with the king, and keeps laying trinkets and flowers on his plate - causing widespread panic as what appears to be an intricate assassination plot unfolds. The dissatisfied and patriotic working classes are planning to rise up on the night of the party, overrunning their masters' properties while they are away.A cabal of wizards, respected in the palaces but too embarassing to be invited to parties, insist that a ritual must be performed in the middle of the dance floor.</blockquote>
