"I was right, this is the Scarlet Empress's pillow book."  Darius's smile only got wider, as he flipped through more of the book.  "A lot of it is quite personal and tragic almost to the point of melodrama.  This is probably where she came to get away from the stresses of ruling the Realm.  And she complains quite a lot about no man being worthy of wedding her."  He continues to flip through page after page.  "She complains one day about the emotional displays of men seeming weak and immature, and the next day about no one trying to romance her.  Are all women so fickle?"
