dancer
I have been a prisoner for most of my life. When I was a small child I was taken from my family, simply because I was beautiful. Now, I am an entertainer for the king. When he wants me to dance, I do. I hate it.
High Priestess, I am honored to see you today. I'm here because I'm trying to find a way out. I'm being held captive as a royal dancer. I cannot help you! You are hired by the king. I'm not sure if you are being held captive. You are taken care of very well. You have no need for food, shelter or medical care, because he provides it all, Perhaps, but I am being held against my will and have been since I was a small child. The king keeps me just because I am beautiful and dance well. I have no freedom. I have seen and experienced nothing of the world. Child, the world is not as you think! You have protection here. You will not be taken by bandits or be raped by them. The king likes for you to dance and he knows that you are taken care of by the best. I know I should see and be grateful for all I am given, but I miss my family. I have heard nothing from my parents since I came here. How can I know if they were well or even if they are still alive? I can get your concerns heard by the king, if you have not. I know he is a just king and would get word to them or bring them here to you to see you are well taken care of Thank you so much! That would mean everything to me. I want to dance with happiness just thinking about it. I would love to hug them and see their faces.  As I know they would love to see you and give the same affection. I have written your concerns in this scroll and the servant will deliver it to the king. I'm crying with happiness. My friend told me you would help me, but I wasn't sure. What can I do to repay the favor? There is nothing you need do for me, but to await the kings answer and not worry. Thank you again, High Priestess. Now, may I please drink of this goblet? All this excitement has left me very thirsty. Of course, child.
