Mansour the Magnificent

When I became of age, and being of a comely shape and a fair complexion, my master sold me into Suleiman the Magnificent’s harem. I had been selected from amongst the many slave girls that he owned as being potentially suitable and had been put into seclusion as soon as I had my first menstrual period along with the other favoured ones. We were sent to live inside a walled palace on the fringe of a remote town in the far reaches of his domain, cut off from the outside world and attended only by matrons and chaperoned further by his eunuchs.
