Firsa is a master of rope art. When she first arrived in the Empire, she was surprised to find that this traditional art did not exist here—perhaps because rope was always associated with slaves in this land. Before long, however, she discovered kindred spirits. In a sense, this became her entry ticket into noble circles; they were always eager in their pursuit of unusual experiences.

Although she was usually the one taking the lead in these endeavors, she also genuinely enjoyed the sensation of being bound herself. This fondness stemmed from her training as a court dancer, which had involved rigorous exercises to cultivate flexibility—along with, of course, the teasings that so often accompanied such moments.

And so, from time to time, she would bound herself and quietly wait for morning to arrive. A servant would push open the door and “accidentally” discover her, and thus a new day would begin. Yet unlike ordinary mornings, she would feel refreshed and invigorated, as though the irritations and fatigue of the past few days had been swept away. Perhaps, in some way, restraint is also a form of freedom.
