The Price of Pleasure

Sadani almost died under your roof. The physician works through the night, diagnosing, staunching the blood, but when he emerges, his wears a face of resignation. "The child is lost."

The child? …So the woman spoke the truth. The child…

A sharp, ringing slap breaks through your daze. You look up to see Maggie standing before you, her face a portrait of sorrow and bitter disappointment. You realize, with chilling clarity, that you have committed the gravest sin imaginable. But before you can explain, before you can do something, anything, the Sultan’s envoy arrives.Above you, the crows of death begin to circle.

Regular

You were sentenced to death
You were executed for deliberately plotting the Crown Prince’s assassination.

No one was willing to listen to your defense, no one dared provoke the Sultan at the critical moment of his loss. Soon, you were on the rack, the executioner sharpening his cold blade beside you. As you squinted against the bright sunlight for one last glimpse of the world, you saw that the Sultan's face lacked even the pretense of grief.

You succeeded in getting away with it
You were going to be killed for deliberately murdering the crown prince, but fortunately, you had prepared a way out before being brought to the palace: a gold-quality Bloodshed Card should be enough to offset the crime you committed.

You have never been so grateful for this set of cards. While depriving you of your humanity, it seems to have given you a ray of hope.

The Sultan weighed the thin card with a gloomy face. He could easily break it with just a slight force. However, at this moment, monarch with absolute power felt the taste of his authority being challenged for the first time.

The golden edge reflected the bright sunlight, deeply hurting his eyes.

In the end, you were acquitted. However, you are still confused as to why the Sultan's envoy came so quickly, as if he had expected this. You seem to be involved in a conspiracy, and a darker and more dangerous storm is brewing.
