Miss Arumina popped up again, brightly sitting in your sitting room, with dazzling jewelry all over, truly hard to ignore.
"I have a few questions, to ask some male other than my father; among such males, those with some status, I only know you." She said, looking at you. Clearly, no one dared to correct this arrogant lady's etiquette problem, "Are you willing to answer?"op1: I would if you change your toneop2: Go ahead
- Case #1:
- Rite: Feast
- Options:
Your words made her face flush red, apparently, no one had ever pointed out her rude tone before.
"My tone... what's wrong with it? My tone – that's just how I speak, it's perfectly fine!"
You didn't reply.
After a while, tugging at the pure-gold bells on her clothes, she reluctantly whispered, "Other than... um... other than maybe, maybe I should use 'you' instead."
Though not much of an improvement, it's progress of sorts.op3: Go ahead
- Case #3:
- Options:
Her question was simple, "What kind of man is worth marrying?"
Among her list of potential grooms, you, to your horror, saw the Sultan was included... All the other eligible young men in the capital were listed as well, she reasonably thought each one had a chance, based solely on her preferences.
As you ponder how indulged she must have been by her father, you cautiously offer your perspective...op4: Braveryop5: Wisdomop6: Powerop7: Money
- Options:
- Case #4:
- Prompt:
Strong men! I love them! Really love them!" She exclaims loudly, voicing her agreement, "I especially love those beautiful and powerful legs... Men need them to run fast so they won't be caught and killed during a duel!"
You want to correct her understanding of the word "duel"... but it's pointless; she won't listen now.
"So where to find brave men? Hmm... in the training ground? No, those are full of spoiled rich boys... Or should I go to the battlefield?"
She tilts her head, her childlike mind for once filled with thoughts beyond fine fabrics and precious jewels. After a moment, she gives her head a vigorous shake.
"Never mind – here's your consulting fee!"
- Prompt:
- Case #5:
- Prompt:
You tell her that muscles weaken with age, wealth can vanish, and power can turn against you – but wisdom remains forever.
"But clever men are always finding clever ways to deceive women, aren't they? That's exactly what my father did to my mother... Though I suppose she did end up living quite comfortably..."
She drifts into contemplation, her childlike mind for once filled with thoughts beyond fine fabrics and precious jewels.
"Maybe a clever man wouldn't be so bad – if he's rich, handsome, and has status," she brightens up. "A man like that would certainly cause quite a stir!"
With that, she launches into a flurry of noble gossip from the capital's social circles – the kind of hot scandals you'd never hear in the bathhouse.
- Prompt:
- Case #6:
- Prompt:
"Oh, just like you, right? Father says when you're unhappy, the Sultan isn't happy either, and you always know how to make the Sultan happy!"
She speaks while thinking seriously, her childlike face uncharacteristically serious.
"So I should find a courtier, and he must be strong, smart, and handsome... When a person has influence, they seem more handsome than others, like you, right?"
You tell her you don't know how to respond to that.
She laughs, finding the joke very amusing. As she left, she continued talking about how handsome and influential you are, which makes you more well-known.
- Prompt:
- Case #7:
- Prompt:
"In that case, I might as well marry my father – he's the most brilliant at making money I've ever known, by any means necessary."
She catches your expression and bursts into laughter.
"Oh, I'm only teasing! You should see your face right now! Don't tell me you actually believed that? I won't marry my father; he's too fat!"
Then she grows thoughtful, her childlike features taking on an unusual hint of gravity as she considers your words.
"A man who knows how to make money... that's the best kind there is, isn't it? Perhaps you have a point – if he's good with money, he can buy anything: warriors, strategists, even ministers..."
She springs to her feet, gives you a quick curtsy, and presses something into your hand.
"This is your consulting fee!"
