The sun rises once more on my kingdom, and I, too, rise from my luxurious bed, ready to begin another day. Immediately, half a dozen servants spring into action, washing me, dressing me, and bringing me to my dining room, where a lavish breakfast is already prepared for me. Truly, it is good to be the king. Many things have changed in the palace ever since I took over the reigns after the untimely death of my father, a lot of them being greatly welcomed by the servants and leading to a much more relaxed atmosphere in the palace halls than the terror that reigned in the time of my father. In the end, it seems like a lot of the reasons he claimed required his harsh rules were just outright fabrications of a power-mad tyrant, and in the last few months, the council and I have come to the conclusion that the realm is completely stable and running absolutely smoothly.

This, of course, allows for me to further pursue my policies of liberalization, which doesn't just involve passing new laws and voiding tyrannical old ones, but also some additional changes that involve the palace and its denizens. Over the last few months, my soldiers have been scouring the world, searching for people to join my new harem. But not women. My new harem consists exclusively of men, to further distance myself from my father's reign. A dozen men, from all over the world, now live at my palace. They are paid very well and given great freedom within the palace grounds, with them basically having free reign over the place, full command of my servants, and the right to disobey me if they so choose. Something like this is completely unprecedented and could end in disaster, but so far, things have gone quite well. Despite my harem now being twelve men from all over the world that have total freedom, they ultimately do what I ask them to most of the time, not out of obedience, but out of friendship.

All in all, this is an experiment, but things are developing quite well. There is a genuine chemistry, not only between me and the members of my harem, but amongst them as well. Everyone really seems to be getting along, and even intimate moments have happened between me and the harem and amongst them as well. In fact, I've even heard that in the first night where the entire harem was assembled in the wing of the palace that is entirely dedicated to it, an impromptu orgy broke out between them and went all night long. Sure, the next day or two after that was a bit awkward, but it all worked out just fine. As far as I can tell, introducing a more equal system to the harem concept is a purely beneficial thing. Especially the intimate moments are far more passionate and loving now that it's not just outright sex slavery and all that.

After finishing up breakfast, I turn to my attendant and ask for today's schedule. To my great glee, there is absolutely nothing planned for today, no government business to take care of at all. Nothing should get in my way of just having a pleasant day with my harem. As such, I step out of the dining hall and begin to wander the palace grounds, wondering who I'll run into first today.
