Sultana's Throne

Last night I was running around bored, when I suddenly saw one of the doors to Palace wide open and unguarded. I stepped in, finding Second Minister Kadar talking with Knights Leader Jordi.
Hiding behind a curtain, I first listened secretly for a while .... but getting no clue of what they were talking about, I decided to sneak upstairs for having a look at the Sultana's bedroom. Jordi saw me - of course! - and just mentioned "Dinky ... get your ass down here ... what do you think you are doing ? "
I went downstairs grousing "okay okay.... I just wanted to have a look...is that soo bad..." and stood next to both, not sure what to do now. They continued talking and stepped over to the balcony, Harkan the throne guard was daydreaming, when I saw my chance.

Running over to Sultana's throne I jumped on it, wiggeling my ass a little with a big grin in my face. Waiting for one of them to yell at me now, I was surprized to get not a single reaction. Jordi and Kadar even whispering now turned their backs to me and Harkan was leaning against the wall with closed eyes!

I clapped my hands amused and decided to stay as long as possible ... daydreaming away of beeing the Sultana, wearing beautiful gowns and having servants around me all day long. My dreaming quickly ended when Harkan opened his eyes and looked at me, first confused, then hissing on me " Get your ass out of here ! Quick ! "

I jumped up and ran away laughing as he yelled after me "People get arrested for this ! Better do not come back so fast ! "

Still laughing and out of breath I finally reached the cafe, leaning against the wall, panting for air. When I calmed down, I hurried to Chronicles office to make a draw of how I must have looked sitting in that chair !

What do we learn from this little scene ? Palace does not seem to be guarded 24 hours a day, when a little prey like me is even able to enter throne room and sitting in her Majesties chair. I question myself:

• Is our Sultana safe from intruders ?
• Where do all the guards hide when not standing on their position ? Are they playing with the harem girls ?
• Are they even entertaining the Sultana herself ?
• Will I be able to reach her bedroom next time ?

Be sure, the last question will be detected soon ! And probably even more !
