• Options:

  Your servant spotted that loud man again at market and rushed back to gossip with you.
  
  He runs a small caravan, only four horses, and peddles foreign spices. The girl who loved him, the one who changed herself for him, was a slave girl at the spice shop next door... With that disguise and a few "necessary" tricks, she first made him fall in love, then persuaded him to buy her freedom and marry her as a free woman.
  
  Yet she had been a slave girl, and he was a noble. True, she was skilled. She could distill perfumes; but he was the most insignificant sort of noble, with only two old servants at home... Still, he felt he ought not to have married a slave, especially one who didn't match the beauty he'd imagined. Even if he loved the girl and knew she was the best gift fate would grant him, he was furious at himself.
  
  So, the night after their wedding, he raised that quarrel—his tonic for a wounded pride.
  
  Now they run a business together. He paid her master, tore up her slave papers; she is free. She sits smiling before their own shop, blending perfumes—deft hands, a keen nose, and a sweet smile. Their trade grows better by the day.

  • op1: Something is off.
• Case #1:
  • Card (Rose Essence Oil)
  • Prompt:

    You asked a servant—what of the oil the girl had used to fake ebony skin? Her maple-colored hair? Her lips plumped with honey...?
    
    "Oh my lord, you were measuring ordinary folk by the standards of great nobles! What husband and wife could keep that up every day, unless they were the Sultan and his consort!" The servant's eyes went round. "Of course she looked just the same as before now! Pale skin, yellow hair, and hardly any flesh up front!"
    
    You could not help a laugh.
    
    The servant also gave you a bottle of perfume, a gift from the newlywed who had reverted to her original look; when she had stopped by earlier, she had remembered the servant's face.
