*The day of the Changing of the Term turns into the evening…*
***
That evening, Tetenia was one of fourteen concubines chosen to serve His Supremacy at the montly banquet held after the Changing of the Term. The banquet’s guests were the sixty incoming term servants, the sixty outgoing term servant, eighty assorted dignitaries and the ten Queen Priestesses. The fourteen concubines, of course, served His Supremacy and His Supremacy alone. The other guests were served by twelve palace common servants. It was an honor to be chosen to serve Him at the banquet.
His Supremacy was seated at the head of a table with the Queen Priestesses, while the fourteen concubines serving Him – including Tetenia – were lined up on either side of where He sat, each fully nude. He would periodically call one or another of them over to serve Him food or refill His drink, or even just to run His hands through their bodies, if it pleased Him. At one point, He had the concubine Embre kneel down under the table and fellate Him, along with the Queen Priestess Sha.
