ambassador
woman
I am a woman who has a wealthy husband. I enjoy watching plays. I have all of the best dresses.
Do you like my dress? It is fine. I don't have much interest in fashion. That is a woman's world. But the language of diplomacy none the less? Yes but I am not here in this room to be a diplomat. Ah, you are hear only to dally with the courtesans? Perhaps. I do wish to have a glass of wine. Don't drink that! Why, why would you take my wine. I suspect it is poisoned. Poisoned. You have saved me. Many are jealous of the fact that I have the kings ear. Here is a reward. I would have rather you had handed me the kings ear..... Well, you would need to have my ear first.
