Phii-seua: Butterfly
Phii-seua was the title given to the concubines of the nobles--women of lower caste marked with a tattoo of a butterfly.
Ayla, a girl from the Southern lands, struggled to survive alone after being cast away to the North--a free land ruled by nobles. Her mistake was only one:
She picked up a fallen apple that belonged to Tawan. Tawan-Rawee Wang, the daughter of a noble family, the military ruler of the Northern border.
"Khun Poo, I want that shabby, grasshopper-smelling girl to be my Phii-seua. Make the Phii-seua mark on her shoulder."
That cursed mark of ownership haunted her for life. Ayla, the hungry little girl, ended up becoming the concubine of a noble girl--Tawan. Tawan-Rawee Wang.

"Divorce me, Khun. You can find another woman you want to keep your bed warm."
"Ayla, darling, do you really think I'd let you go that easily? Try being a good, obedient girl for me."
