Rite of Submission |
|
The way the rite is invoked is this: the Free Woman typically facestrips
herself, publicly announces that she willingly submits to the individual
she has chosen, and then assumes "the Position of Female Submission,"
wherein the Free Woman kneels at her captor's feet and leans her body
back, sitting upon her heels, with her arms extended upward, crossed at
the wrists, and her head beneath them lowered in supplication. If the
male accepts her, she becomes his slave and forfeits all titles, rank
and property immediately. If he does not, she accepts the consequences
of her actions, even if it means her death. It should be obvious that a Free Woman does not invoke the Rite of Submission hastily or without much consideration, as the very act can cost her her life. |
