I am pleased to watch them revolt...
...their fear of the stone that will lie on them, no I would find Nefertiri and I would fuck Her. The thought of my cock in Her, my agony in Her honey, my fatigue in Her wealth, my pride in Her royal privacy, my beating heart in Her sweet quiver, my peasant meet in the sauce of a Queen, my sword in Usermare's [the Pharsolt's] skin!--every high and low passion I ever felt came together, and my life was simple.
