11.Intermissio: Helga I
You did everything you possibly could to be unpredictable. Being unpredictable is essential. You know your husband is the Persian King who marries you, the virgin, and after one night of pain and pleasure, he will behead you on the spot. You want to be Scheherazade, whose next day depended on the unpredictability of her next act. If your acts are not daring or imaginative, you know your head will soon be in the bucket of sawdust.
You are not afraid of the risks; the stakes are part of the thrill. You would not love this game so much if you knew you would always win. The chance of losing makes you feel alive, horny, and daring. You have an arsenal of weapons at your disposal. You have beauty, wit, cunning, and courage at your disposal. Your actions, consistently exceeding his expectations, will always go one step beyond what he can imagine. If you allow yourself to become self-righteous and overconfident, lazy and unimaginative, dull and bourgeois, he will not cut off your head, but sell you to the highest bidder. He knows what you are worth and that he may well be able to buy two slaves if he sends you to the auction block. You do not doubt for a moment that he is capable of doing so. That gives colour to your life. Let others wallow in bourgeois ness, you know you will do everything to keep his love.
You have always known this day would come, but somehow you never thought it would. Zelenski said that the Russians would not attack Ukraine until the planes were on their way to bring terror and destruction. You have no idea what the amount is that has been offered for you. You hope it is a lot; your self-esteem would take a hit if you were sold cheaply. But it turns out you’re not being sold at all; it’s just a barter. Your new owner shows up with a third-rate slave. You can’t believe your eyes. Are you being traded for that piece of junk? You can easily see what is in it for the love of your life. It is a beautiful project in which he can fully indulge. He can tear her down to the ground and rebuild her completely to his own wishes. And he will.
For you? You hope the new owner can keep you horny and willing for at least a year. After that year, you will be free to choose. You might want to live a vanilla life once again, or you might find a demanding Master. One that will cut your head off if he gets tired of you. A Master that will have no mercy. One that will make you live on the edge once more. You can tell from the goods he comes to exchange that the new man in town certainly isn’t a ruthless Master. You are being examined, groped, penetrated. They talk about you as if you were an animal, but if you were to be an animal, you would be a thoroughbred horse, a thoroughbred mare. You are being locked up, as if they can’t take the chance you would run away. They don’t understand that you will never shame the love of your life by running away. By taking the easy road. He should know that by now.
