The patrons are dressed brightly and elaborately, with the men's hair covered in rose water and shining longswords encrusted in ancestral jewels, while the Ladies of Delights sit behind veils, concealing their faces like noblewomen.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" Buthayna, the elderly mistress of the House of Delights, came out, "Today we are choosing the most popular man, the one closest to the ladies' hearts, the one who qualifies to enjoy the greatest pleasure!"
The men stir, sizing each other up... Eventually, all eyes focus on three individuals – you, Nabhani, and a masked noble guest.
Today, Nabhani wear the Iron Guard's uniform, a few braids mix with his loose hair, each adorn with large garnets matching his honey-colored hair, keeping all women's eyes on him.
As for the masked guest... How strange, why wear a mask in such a setting?
All other patrons are familiar faces, except him... You carefully observe this man hidden by a mask, his face completely covered.
Finally, your gaze sweep over the large familiar gemstone ring on his finger... It's... Suddenly, you break into a cold sweat.
He's the Sultan himself! ...Why would he...?
At this point, the masked guest notices you are watching him; he turns and looks at you, seemingly smiling. However, before you can react, Buthayna's clapping interrupts your thoughts.
Conditions:
All other patrons are familiar faces, except him. You rack your brains but can't recall where you've seen this person...
Before you have time to draw any conclusions, Buthayna's clapping interrupts your thoughts.
Conditions:
"All our guests today are the most popular in the House of Delights. Of course, most of you don't use real names here; everyone has the right to seek pleasure, and we certainly won't pry... But charisma! A man's charisma! It's not just what's between his legs, but also his how deep the depth of his eyes, how ironclad his heart, how well his fingers move for women! These are a man's most precious assets!"
Her hoarse voice echos within the House of Delights, drawing giggles from the girls beyond the veils.
"Hence! Let the ladies be the judges, shall we? Whoever has the most ladies of delight around him will become the most popular man in the House of Delights!"
The veil is drawn back, and the women flood out like a tide, each moving towards their favorite patron...
While quite a few surround you and Nabhani, it is still the masked guest who has the most ladies at his side.
Buthayna claps her hands, loudly congratulating the masked guest for winning.
Buthayna hands the golden key to the masked guest: "This is the highest pleasure," she says, "This is the key to the backyard of the House of Delights, where there's pool, plenty of cushions, and fountains overflowing with wine... As the most popular man, you have the right to host a party of frivility and pleasure there. All ladies of delight will attend, and you decide which male guests to invite."
Silence descends suddenly, then come the cheers – men cluster around the masked guest, begging to be taken along. Dismissively, he shakes them off, lead girls by the hand, and ducks into the veils.
Next, the Sultan will enjoy his game. You feel slightly relieved...

"This is the highest pleasure," she says, "This is the key to the backyard of the House of Delights, where there's a pool, plenty of cushions, and fountains flowing with wine... As the most popular man, you have the right to host a party of pursuit and pleasure there. All ladies of delight will attend, and you decide which male guests to invite."
A hush fell, then erupted into cheers—men pressed close, begging to be chosen.
Suddenly, the masked guest next to you raised a hand.
"I propose, [player.name], to give this key to me."
The crowds are astonished, turning their eyes to him. Nabhani stands angrily...
But soon, the Iron Guard's gaze falls on the ring, or rather, the Sultan subtly twists the ring, silently asserting his identity. Nabhani can possibly recognize his master; his face turns pale, looking between you and the Sultan.
The Sultan wants to be the host of this decadent party, so what's your choice?

The crowd erupts with joy, as you wipe the cold sweat from your brow – the Sultan is not declared the most popular man, but his Iron Guard won...
Buthayna hands a small golden key to Nabhani.
