Former slave of Heineman
After breakfast, Heineman's first task was to submit to the attentions of Milmelca, his personal makeup artist, who had once been his slave.
'How is your throat?' said Milmelca, as she set about her work.
'Fine, thank you,' said Heineman.
He had bought this woman with carnal intent - he admitted that to himself, for all that he denied it to the world - but had always been too scared of his wife's anger to move from intent to action. These days, he regretted his cowardice. But regret was useless. It was too late. Under pressure from Heaven and Hell, Chalakanesia had abolished the institution of slavery, putting Milmelca forever off limits.
Unless Heineman seduced her. [NoP Ch3]
