You sleep lightly in the harem.

You may be called upon at any moment, it's true. You get used to that, and sleep when you may.

But there are other reasons to stay alert. Assassins, for example. You may find it odd that someone would try to kill a concubine, but we are often easier to get at than a lord. The loss of a favorite can throw a lord and kingdom into unrest for months.

That is why I sleep with a candle and flint, and sleep lightly.

The concept here is sound. Interestingly (to me anyways) this is the first pic I've used reference for in quite some time. The lighting could use work but I was rushed, as always.

Also, a darker side to Vata's story is revealed. Part of my problem with writing is that I am not really enough of a sadist to hurt characters I like. It makes for a boring story if everything goes the protagonist's way.
