The protagonist, a prince, has women in his employ who bathe him by hand. They are all completely naked while washing him. The protagonist's father, the king, admits to having sex with his bathers. Since the bathers are employees, and especially since they serve the royal family, it is implied that they must do whatever the royal family says no matter what. Later on, a woman tries to touch the protagonist inappropriately, and she continues doing so despite the fact that he looks and sounds uncomfortable.
