Kien, talking with Akabe, caught Ela's glance and grinned, luring her thoughts toward him. Gorgeous man! How dare he distract her?***************************************** Akabe turned and saw what-or rather who-had distracted Kien mid-sentence. He should have known. And he understood. If Caitria had cast him such a loving smile, Akabe would have abandoned this impromptu conference altogether. But Caitria petted Issa, ignoring everyone else. Therefore.. Akabe backhanded Kien's shoulder. "Stop flirting with your wife and pay attention! " Kien shot him a mock-threatening look. "I am your servant, sir." A headstrong and unexpected servant, Akabe agreed silently. But most welcome. R.J. Larson
About This Quote

The idea of a servant is not only a metaphor for a subordinate person who serves his or her superiors. The word comes from the Latin servus meaning "slave." A dog is also called a servant, and so is a slave. In ancient Rome, for example, slaves were considered to be the property of their owners and could not own or sell property. Slaves could not ride in the front of a horse and they were often chained.

During Roman times, however, it was not uncommon for slaves to run away and become mercenaries in the Roman army. This was known as "running away to serve in the army" or "going to war to be a slave."
