Rites
Ansuya agrees to help you steal the Sultan's ring, but she must first gain the Sultan's trust and favor, before she will even have an opportunity to enter his bed chamber. For someone working alone from within the harem, she needs support – your support. You need to have enough Influence over the court to lend her aid when needed. In addition, she would like to speak with you or your messenger to discuss plans for the future.

Taking advantage of his position, the Court Physician visited Consort Ansuya without any incidences and brought back a secret letter from her.
She tells you that she is ready. As soon as you give the word, she will steal the Sultan's magic ring for you. But you have to make sure the time is ripe for your regicide plan. The longer you tarry after she makes the move, the more likely it is for something to go awry.

The Jeweler went to visit the consorts as usual and brought you a secret letter from Consort Ansuya.
In the letter, Ansuya tells you that she is ready. As soon as you give the word, she will steal the Sultan's magic ring for you. But you have to make sure the time is ripe for your regicide plan. The longer you tarry after she makes the move, the more likely it is for something to go awry.

Bharat sneaks into the palace through the secret passage and finds Consort Ansuya, now the darling of the harem.
She has moved to a resplendent palace, wears more extravagant gowns, and dusts her cheeks with a thin layer of rouge, like a bud that blooms once in a lifetime atop a snowy mountain peak. No one can resist such beauty – not even the Sultan.
Ansuya asks Bharat to tell you that as soon as the time is right, she will steal the magic ring for you. Her tone is light and nonchalant, but there is no underplaying the risk she is taking. A single misstep would cost her her life.
For a moment, Bharat wants to take her away, far away. Away from all of this – the truths, the lies, the debts owed, and the vengeance due.
But he cannot.
He sees the fierce flame deep in Ansuya's eyes. All her concessions, her resentment, her forbearance – her entire self – are fuel for this inferno. She will not leave until she sees death and destruction raining down on the faithless, heartless tyrant.
Bharat is unsure whether he should hate you for pushing Ansuya into the pyre of revenge or be grateful to you for granting her wish. He is worried, uncertain. In the end, he can only sigh and implore you to make sure the time for regicide is truly ripe before you ask Ansuya to steal the ring. Otherwise, as soon as the Sultan realizes something is amiss, you know what fate awaits you all.

Action:
With a little bribery, you make the harem guards turn a blind eye to you. You sneak into the harem and meet with Ansuya.
You inform her of the recent courtly affairs with great eloquence. She is glad that you have gained the court's support. This is useful for your plans. She smiles and tells you that, she, too, is ready. As soon as you say the word, she will help you steal the Sultan's Signet Ring.
Under the lamp, in a moment of silence, you suddenly realize how radiant she is today. She has changed. The luxurious, layered dress complements her lightly rouged cheeks so well. You are reminded of the golden statuette, the one you marred with the ruby – once again, you have brought low a deity, brought her to your side.
In a vision, you see her turning herself into a pyre, turning all her silent sacrifices, secret hatred, and her entire self into fuel, so that the faithless, heartless tyrant and his empire of greed will burn. She shall shed the heavy gems, her body of gold melting into an illustrious river. She shall flow back into the high hanging sun, eternal forever more.
You cannot help but hold her fair hands, loss for words. When you finally find your voice again, you tell her you shall come to her as soon as the time is ripe, to ensure there will be no complications. You promise her that the Sultan will die, and she will have a new life.
Ansuya smiles and nods, but her eyes tell you that she does not care for the future.
