@mgdae To call something 'silly' because you don't understand it is.... somthin' else hun. The 'Harem' is the property of the Sultan/King/Padisha. Simply laying a hand on one of them is an act of treason. So what do you think is going to happen when you sleep with one? The guards of a harem are Eunuchs, meaning they have to be castr*ted before even being granted the 'privilege' of protecting these women. And what story are you reading? 😅 Why would he care about what goes on in the Harem??? O_o That's where the corruption starts when trying to elevate your position and put your child on the throne! The concubines create factions among themselves and scheme to obtain the things they want. And they hold valuable information on what goes on in the palace that can easily aid and abet an enemy, so they can't simply be 'thrown out'. They just went through a blo*** civil war where everyone and their mother tried to assassinate Shuraka so he didn't sleep for 10 years. Anyone with a grudge or who can bring him and his loved ones harm will be put down. However, he can't recklessly kill the concubines because his mother will come to hate him. Hence why he gave Pinky 'three' strikes. Is this your first story on Eastern culture story, perhaps? 👀
