Outcome Actions

• Options:

  This evening, the courtyard fills with a strange fragrance. You go out to observe. To your eyes, you see Inal and Aziz leaning against each other, sharing a small handful of red berries – such fruits have recently been imported to the Sultanate; many nobles have tasted them. But slaves doing so... perhaps only these two before you have.
  
  Noticing your presence, Inal jumped up in fright, while Aziz remained unhurried.
  
  "I bought them with your rewards, if you allow. If you don't, please punish me." He stuffed the remaining berries into his big mouth, then silently kneeled down, preparing to receive a whipping.

  • op1: Spare them
  • op2: Give them small punishment
  • op3: Your crime is unforgivable
  • op4: There's a place where you can eat even bigger and sweeter fruits...
• Case #1:
  • Counter (7000246): Add 1
  • Counter (7100001): Add 1
  • Prompt:

    You bypass him and walk directly to Inal.
    
    "How do the berries taste?" you ask. "Are they delicious?"
    
    She trembles, unable to form a proper reply—her usual sharp tongue is entirely gone.
    
    Behind you, Aziz, still kneeling, speaks slowly,
    
    "They are quite sour. They should be eaten with honey. But I only had enough money for a small handful of berries, and I didn't want to steal honey from the kitchen—that would be wrong. Still, with honey, the sourness and sweetness together, maybe with some ice cream, it would be incredibly delicious."
    
    You are stunned. That is, in fact, exactly how the popular court desserts are prepared these days. Though only a slave, Aziz's tongue is as discerning and sensitive as that of a noble.
    
    You sigh, comfort Inal, and then let Aziz stand up. You assure him that you are not those stingy masters who reward their slaves with money yet don't let them spend it.
    
    Aziz slowly nods, "If you permit it... then I'll remember it, Master."

• Case #2:
  • Card (Secret)
  • Prompt:

    Slaves aren't entitled to eat such precious things. You personally whipped him twenty strokes. For other slaves, it's a serious injury requiring several days in bed. But Aziz made no sound, seemingly unbothered. Beside him, Inal cried and pleaded noisily, even more animated than the one being punished. You got tired from the whipping and casually tossed the whip aside. The matter ended there.

• Case #3:
  • Rite: Betrayal and Escape
  • Prompt:

    To utter such audacious words in front of the master... If such a slave isn't killed, then a master's dignity isn't worth discussing. You waved your hand, ordering the guards to remove him. Aziz struggled fiercely, while Inal wailed sharply at the side, the red juice of the berries trailing from their mouths like blood, dripping onto their chests.

• Case #4:
  • Enable Event: Ironhead Reputation Event - Giant Toy
  • Prompt:

    What triggered this in you? Maybe it was the contrast between the slaves and the expensive food, or maybe it was the pure love between the young man and woman... Anyhow, a dark idea sprouted in your mind... Quite a few noble ladies might like Aziz.
