Prince Ozymardien is famous for collecting all kinds of valuable things, including the most beautiful virgin in the Eastern Lands as his wife (whom he apparently left untouched to maintain her value). When Jame breaks into Ozymardien's treasure trove, she sees what she assumes to be a life-sized sculpture of a woman reclining on a couch, until the woman rolls over in her sleep and Jame realises she's the virgin princess.
