Rites

In Depth Investigation

Qais accompanies you to the governor's mansion in the city. He takes out the search warrant prepared in advance, demanding an investigation. However, the aged governor firmly states that you have no right to search their mansion on such ridiculous grounds, while the old lady tearfully rebukes Qais, lamenting that she has already lost her daughter, and instead of catching the criminal, incompetent officials come bother the innocent. She is the victim's mother!



Qais, unable to handle such a scene, looks at you helplessly. You sigh. It seems that you a Conquest Card: an irrefutable proof to your rights to act as you please, granted by the Sultan himself.

Outcome

Prior

Your collaboration has uncovered the truth
At first, the servants cower before their master’s shadow. But you soothe them, and at last, truth spills forth.



With their help, you find the boy first – hidden in a cellar, pale and numb, his eyes hollowed by fear. Then, in the garden, you find the woman’s body, buried deep. Irrefutable evidence. The elders attempt to protest, but in the end, they crumble.



It began as a quarrel. The daughter, fresh from her journey, refused to surrender her dowry to prop up the family’s failing ventures. Heated words were exchanged. Then threats. She swore she would tell her husband, the tax collector. Her father’s fury flared. He pushed her. She fell. Her temple hit the corner of the table...



"Leave the rest to me." Qais gathers the poor boy in his arms, holding him close for some time, and finally murmurs, "Thank you."
