Consort Ansuya's Visit

As the Sultan promised before the court, Consort Ansuya arrives in your courtyard. Wearing the cold twilight, she is as solemn and silent as ever, indifferent to the prying eyes of others. As you wish, she is now at your disposal.

Regular

Tonight, you claim Consort Ansuya
You have claimed the coveted Ansuya, the most unique jewel of the Sultan's collection.

You toyed with her like toying with a broken statuette: its grace, dignity, compassion, resolve and divinity snuffed out alongside the candlelight. You write your victory with the tears she finally shed – no longer caring if you ever got close to that bitter heart.

Later, you hear that Consort Ansuya's palace caught fire one night. The fire raged until dawn, reducing everything to ash. In the flames, the night wind carried a handful of pure white sand away into the vast, unsullied sky.

Conditions:

Result:

You entered the consort's body, and her mind
In between kisses, you exchange cold and hard convictions. You beg her to help you.

"You want to kill the Sultan?" Dark fire burns in Ansuya's eyes. She holds your face in scrutiny, determining whether you truly are companions on the same dark path. "What do you want me to do?"

You reveal an unformed plan in hushed tones. You tell her that you need her to help you steal the Sultan's ring. It is a powerful magical artifact that has foiled foolproof assassinations and erased tribes from the surface of the earth. Your only hope of success depends on the ring being removed from the Sultan. And except in a moment of true intimacy, the Sultan will never take it off.

A ray of hope lights up Ansuya's gray eyes. She reaches the summit in your description of regicide. "I will help you." She promises in the afterglow, steadying herself to sit up straight. "After I return to the palace, I will try to win the Sultan's favor and look for a good opportunity. However, I am afraid I will need your support."

She gives you a token and tells you to seek her in the harem some time later. It is a string of old bells woven together with colorful ropes. You shake them gently and find that they are all mute, making no sound.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

You look forward to a luscious display between your wife and the consort
You order your wife to change, and then find yourself the most comfortable seat facing the large bed, ready to watch the two gorgeous women pleasure each other. Your wife is shy, but she, too, must have countless fantasies about the consort’s beautiful body?



You hear the sound of silk and jewelry falling to the floor, feel soft skin pressing against your back... and then a dagger slits your throat.



As you slowly fall, you see the consort, her smile radiant.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

You conspired with the consort
You take Ansuya to a quiet room and dismiss everyone. "Please forgive me for the way I arranged for our private meeting," you apologized to Ansuya, "but only you can help me with this matter."



You need her to help you steal the Sultan's ring, which is a powerful magical artefact. It has helped the Sultan resist all assassination attempts. It has erased a tribe from the surface of the earth in an instant. Except for in moments of true intimacy, the Sultan will never take it off. And only by taking it from him does your regicide plot have any hope of success.



This ray of hope lights up Ansuya's eyes. Through the hard frost, you can almost touch the humiliation, recalcitrance, and hatred she has suppressed in the deepest part of her soul. "I will help you," she looks at you and promises, with the solemnity of swearing an oath, "Upon my return to the palace, I shall endeavor to regain the Sultan’s favor and await the right moment to act. However, I must confess – I will require your support."



She hands you a token of trust and asks you to find her in the harem after some time has passed. It is a string of old bells woven together with colorful threads. You shake them gently and find that they are mute and make no sound.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

You didn't do anything
You bring Ansuya to a quiet room and dismiss everyone else. You dare not make any sudden moves, as if even breathing a little heavier would be blasphemous.

In the awkward silence, you serve wine for the two of you, trying to find something to talk about. Ansuya simply listens, responding sparingly.

As the wine flowed, you soon became drunk. When you wake up, Ansuya has already left. You can only recall a few scattered words and Ansuya's calm and gentle eyes. A beautiful dream, dissipating in a sigh.

Conditions:

Result:

You didn't do anything
You ask the servant to bring Ansuya to your room, but you have no intention of going there yourself.



You have no lust for desecrating the Sultan's consort. You merely need another way to break that damn card with its depiction of a pair of loving couple. You still remember the day you wedded Maggie. You swore an oath of loyalty to her. You will never have her shed a single tear for you.



It is strange that after so many years, your chest still warms when you think of Maggie's eyes, so full of affection, of love.



You cannot help knocking on Maggie's door. Taking her into your arms, you kiss her. You know not how long this love you share can sustain you in this terrible game. But at least in this very moment, it still beats in your hearts, alive and strong.

Conditions:

Result:

You didn't do anything
You have your servant bring Ansuya to your room, but you don't intend to go there yourself.



It isn't your desire to defile the king's consort; you simply need a way to break that damned card engraved with the image of lovers. That's all.



Afterwards, when Ansuya sometimes appears in court, she speaks a few words in your favor.
