all governing decisions. Employment and education are not restricted. I can tell you care little for clothing. If you had a different dream, you would be allowed to pursue it. Do you wish to go?” asked Malpha again.
    NorMa didn’t speak for several moments. Then she answered, “Yes, I would.”
    “I will make the arrangements. You may all leave. QuenBy, you will stay.”
    After the seamstress had left, Malpha took GemMa and QuenBy into the next room where all her wardrobe containers stood. They had a lot of work to do if she were going to be marrying Ben this evening.

Chapter Three
     
    It had taken some time to find the necklace. Then it was finally located with the aid of a detector locator. When Malpha saw the extent of the piece, she nearly balked. At the same time, she had grown wet again at the sight. Luckily, she had a complete medical kit with her so she was fully healed when the ceremony began. The fact the gold matched the jewelry she’d received from her own ancestress was lucky. She was able to wear them both.
    She swore GemMa and QuenBy to secrecy about her gown as they finished the last of the needed alterations. Both women helped her dress in the overskirt and tight-fitting top. It wasn’t until she tried to walk that sensations invoked by the jewelry made themselves felt. She faltered and then started with small steps. By the time she had gotten to the doors of the assembly hall, she was taking long strides and her body was pleasantly flushed.
    She hadn’t wanted her skin to be greasy but she wanted it to be soft and smooth. While QuenBy toiled, she had her body prepared with baths, special oils and creams. All the hair on her body, except for her head, was removed.
    Nodding to the guards, they opened the tall double doors.
    The assembly hall was shaped like a wedge. As she walked up the aisle on the right, she looked to the left and saw Ben walking up another aisle. Facing forward again, she approached the dais where the KowLer Holy Man stood waiting for them to approach.
    As she and Ben neared each other, she could see he also was covered in a fine layer of perspiration; it made her wonder. Her outer garment was tight in the top, almost military in the cut and design with a double row of gold buttons until it flared into a wide skirt. The material was of a red and gold brocade pattern. Ben wore his black leather pants with his tunic of white and gold, heavily embroidered.
    The Grand High Priest of the KowLer turned to the King. “What promises do you make?” he asked Ben.
    “You will be my one and only queen from now until my breath. You will have my protection and my loyalty. All that I have is yours,” he spoke in a quiet but firm voice.
    The Holy Man then turned to Malpha, “Do you accept his promises in good faith?”
    “Yes,” she answered.
    He began to pronounce them as wed. As Malpha heard his words, she interrupted.
    “I also have promises to make,” she said in a clear voice.
    The priest was shocked. Many of those in attendance gasped in outrage. Ben only laughed and nodded to the priest. After the priest recovered, he asked Malpha what promises she wished to make.
    “I promise that you are the only one to touch and take this body from birth unto death. I promise to bear your children as the Goddess provides. I promise to always tell you the truth in all things. I promise you my protection and my loyalty. All that I have is yours,” she finished. Lifting her hand, she handed him a small gold key.
    As the priest concluded the ceremony, Ben didn’t listen; all of his attention was centered on the key he held in his hand. His body began to shake with his arousal and he hardened painfully in his pants. Looking up, he saw that Malpha was unbuttoning the front of her gown. When she had all of the buttons undone, she parted the front and let the garment fall to the floor.
    She was left wearing a shimmering column. Parts were so sheer it was as if she were unclothed. Only a slight
