Nayla finds you and hands you a simply bound booklet that looks like it was printed by the folk, with no name on the cover. You open it to sweep through the pages, which are filled with roughly made portraits of women.
“Lately, people at the market have been surrounding those who can read, asking them to read this aloud,” Nayla fiddles with her hair, clearly displeased, “It lists the most beautiful women in the entire empire, with some comments, as if commoners have the right to judge us... utterly ridiculous!”
You quickly flip through, finding that among the early portraits are two of the Sultan’s consorts, your wife, and several other acquaintances...
“And, in this damned booklet, I’m ranked only seventh, do you think that’s reasonable?”
She stares at you intently.op1: Unreasonable, you should rank higherop2: You shouldn’t take such things so seriously...

- Prompt:
You nodded, agreeing with her statement.
You told her, in your humble opinion, she should at least rank in the top three; let alone she is the Sultan's woman, no other woman could compare to her Garnet-like charisma and beauty.
Nayla giggled after hearing this: "You always know how to make me happy. If only men in this world could learn from you. Alas, even you are only a man... We women, if we are to start competing, must strive for the first place. The top three means nothing; the empire's top three and the empire's 300th have no difference! So..."
She casually played with some strands of hair falling over her chest, seeming lost in thought. After a while, she turned to you, her gaze revealing a venomous inspiration.
"If the six women ranked ahead of me could mysteriously vanish for unknown reasons, that would be wonderful. I'd toast to such 'coincidences' with you." She giggled, delicately tracing her fingers over your cheek and chin, carrying a hint of an unspoken meaning, then swayed her body and left your home.

- Prompt:
You told her you have no interest in such meaningless rankings, and she shouldn't fit herself into the mold of some sky-fallen flatterer, who possibly never even actually saw her! Moreover, being the seventh to appear in the portrait doesn't necessarily mean the seventh most beautiful – who knows the logic behind this order?
"Oh, you are right," she nodded, "but I do mind. I can't stand other women ranking above me. Maybe you are right, but it doesn't stop me from continuing to do what I want."
She casually played with some strands of hair falling over her chest, seeming lost in thought. After a while, she turned to you, her gaze revealing a venomous inspiration: "You will have a way, right? You've been selected by the Sultan to play this game, you... oh, I won't say more, I won't expose you! Yet... if the six women ranked above me vanished suddenly for no matter what reason... I'd be grateful to you for such 'coincidences.'"
You sternly refused her, whether she believes it or not, you would not lift a hand – especially since the list includes your wife! In her face, you tore the book apart, and she seemed furious, cursing you before taking two deep breaths to say angrily she would show you.
Apparently, she hadn't given up her idea; she had means to get help...
