I. The Venetian World
Ivy caressed the crystal ball. Constantinople emerged from the clouds of Time. The Count & Princess Lei held hands.
"We have ten thousand gold coins!"
The crowd buzzed. The Merchant of the Empire cast a conquering smile. The auctioneer paused- a mere formality of process.
"Ten thousand gold coins- going once, going twice"
One finger rose.
"Ten thousand & one."
A shadow of hushed astonishment eclipsed the theater.
"Sir- payment in gold is required forthwith. Do you wish to hold your bid?
"Yes." said the Count.
"I have need of a servant girl- this Princess will suffice."
The aquiline eyes of the Princess burned with hatred. She spat in his direction. The Count's implacable face broke into a thin gruel of a smile.
