Taemin searched for the armlet all morning, coming out from his quarters he found his newest servant, tugging at his ankle furiously at the white gold snake armlet, was bound so tightly on him that it was impossible for it to be remove.

‘You there –you stole my armlet –take it off!’ Taemin demanded.

The raven haired servant gasped, going to his hands and knees, and bowing so far into the carpet, that Taemin was sure his lips where touching it.

‘My armlet –give it me NOW!’

‘I’m sorry your majesty, I cannot get it off – I tried and tried all night – but it won’t, it just slivered on in the night, and clamped onto me your highness'.

‘Slivered? Are you saying my armlet, slid from my arm and to your dirty slave foot?’

The servant stayed silent.

‘Well that impossible you are a boy –the armlet is to lead me to a beautiful ‘clean’ women I should marry’
