Morgana was beautiful. She'd grown up knowing it. She'd grown up knowing, too, that boys held no interest to her, but that she'd best make a show of caring when she got older.
What she didn't realize was how much she'd grow to enjoy the performance; the sparkling gowns, the brilliant smiles, giving a man enough attention to keep him intrigued, but not enough to encourage anything appropriate.
It was a game; simple on the surface, but at the more difficult levels, as exciting and challenging as wielding a sword.
And everyone-- everyone-- knew she was a master.
