The Queen enters!

After what seems like an endless time period another door opens. A small swarm of armed female guards enter and assume a rigid attention at various points around the room. Two guards stay at either side of the door with pairs of guards assuming attention at either side of the initiates' at the base of their platform pedestals.

One of the guards near the door barks and introduction. "Attention initiates! You are given the honor of the presence of her royal highness, chief adviser of the master, first mistress of the upper harem, your Queen, Esmeralda."

You dare not look at her directly, but you can immediately see that the Queen is the most beautiful woman you have ever seen. She strides forward with a flawless grace. Her body is ornately decorated in shimmering silver that somehow accentuates her toned body and curves. Her headdress is an extravagant display with an intricate diamond tiara. Large chandelier-like earrings sing like crystals as they hang from either side of her perfect face. The length of her entire neck is covered in a beautifully decorated silver and diamond collar. It was likely worth as much as some planets. The collar of a Queen!

Her green eyes bore into Mistress Jade.

"Mistress, show me the initiates," she hisses in a way that sends a shiver down your spine. Her silver gown shimmers brilliantly with each sway of her hips. The slits up each side of the dress display her flawless legs with each stride into the room.

Mistress Jade bows impossibly low in her heels. Her shapely ass projects high behind her, "Yes, my Queen!"

She joins her at the base of Caroline's pedestal and you strain your ears to hear her introduction of your initiate class.

Mistress Jade continues, "All of our latest initiates are 18 years old and selected from the highest stock at the marketplace. They are one month into training. I am working them _tirelessly _to prepare them for the upcoming collaring ceremony for master," she pauses uncertainly, "I'm afraid they are not ready for such an early surprise inspection by you, my Queen."

The Queen's mouth turns up in a sinister smile. Seeing the powerful Mistress Jade uncertain is frightening.
