And finally there was an opportunity to retrain the palace staff. Experienced servants had become few over the years – but now the new ones were being trained to acceptable standard. The majordomo opened one eye. “More wine !”, he told the slave girl he was personally training at the moment. Yes, they were coming up nicely, although there was still room for improvement. “I shouldn’t have to ask !” he scolded her…

Peace was good.

And it would not Last forever. Now was the time to enjoy it.

“Come here”, he ordered the slave girl…

Hmm the Majordomo is becomming too relaxed for his own good. It seems he needs the fear to keep on his toes.
A saying comes to mind: "When the cat is out the mice play on the table" (a more or less direct translation from Danish).
Anyway keep up the good work. Looking good so far.
