Two sisters
Two sisters, Xiang Xhi and Xuan Xue were in Xiang's palatial bedroom, in the Hunarch Palace of Sook Zenith, both were naked, being committed nudists.
Legends in Moniq spoke of mythical beings whose spiritual and material perfection could cause blindness or death in onlookers, especially while naked. Such legends had been started when some of their ancestors founded the local nudist chapter, and had been part propaganda.
They had been part propaganda, the physical perfection that Xiang and Xuan displayed, quite formidable to begin with but much enhanced once they had been chosen as Excelsior and Second Paramount, well, should anyone had seen into this room, they may have trouble breathing, at least.
"Tell me again why you're bothering to meet with this man, sister."
Xuan asked.
"He is requesting the meeting, and he is high enough in their security apparatus, he would not ask without a good reason."
"How high is that?"
"Your lover,
Wontget?"
"What's my lover got to do with anything?"
"He's as high in New Etrusca as your new boytoy is in Kagomei, perhaps higher."
"He's not treaty authority!"
"No, he is the XO to two different treaty authorities,
Nieue Lolland Treaty Authority and
Lai Dang Treaty Authority. NuovaFirenze can hardly claim border security that he does not inspect and curate."
"So, JTF2?"
"His prior Kon."
"You speak Kagomine words again, sister, while we speak Moniqan, it is confusing."
"He is a non-com, the seniormost non-com of his land."
"Like your boytoy?"
"Fah!
Xongghu is not my boytoy, he's a loyal man, loyal to his wife."
"But you..."
"I wouldn't especially mind... He's my type, your type for that matter. But a bodyguard is only worth his loyalty, and his is immense."
"Now I miss Wontget."
"And again, you miss the point."
"No, he's loyal, and this man you're meeting, is loyal, and his authority is based on loyalty, on organisation, I got that. I can do two things at once sister, so you are going to meet him, should I tag along?"
"Why?"
"Because I am your sister, because I am the Garden Lady, because I am the closest thing you have to a spy master, and he may want to reach out to someone that doesn't set out the diplomatic equivalent of fireworks when she picks up the phone."
"Eh, you got me there, quiet, I am not."
I was quickly invested into the scene of this dialogue - amazing job doing a near dialogue-only scene. But it took me a few rereads before I was able to follow how the discussion was about someone who held this rank, and not directly involving someone who held it. Outside of "enjoying the prose," I found myself wishing for more details about the title itself - others who held it, and maybe more of how someone with the title would stand with other people, though I also suspect that I'm missing a lot of the context by jumping into your world right here. I look forward to seeing more entries into your world and I will definitely make a note to keep and eye out for your entries in the future (or past!) because your prose is very enjoyable to read.
Thank you
