Cixtite Empress - New Edition

All is well in Suffragette City. Aglaé, the all-powerful Queen of the land Marylène, is at her peak. She has managed to make her people forget the tyrant Von Krantz who terrorized the region for years. But this carelessness will be short-lived. CIXTITE, the Empress of Chitchinia, kidnapped all the men of the kingdom to take them to his palace and make them slaves eunuchs. Only a few, hidden deep in a cave, managed to escape the terrible castration inflicted by CIXTITE. Among them, Kite and Philippe, respectively husband and lover of Aglaé. Anger rises and the inhabitants of Suffragette City demands return of men forcibly imprisoned in Tchitchinie. Aglaé no longer has a choice and must quickly negotiate with CIXTITE. If she does not return her men, she is ready to use force. Taking advantage of its third edition, CIXTITE IMPÉRATRICE returns in a new edition which places it in the collection of Contes du Marylène. For this story derived from LA GESTE D'AGLAÉ, Anne Simon was inspired by the true Empress Cixi of the Qing Dynasty and the Forbidden City in China. It is finds all the recurring characters of his little world (Queen Aglaé, his right arm Simone, Damien the Crocodile cook, the army of fries…) and a new country, Chitchinia.
