Extra

Seeing that the student is just a Slave Girl, the noble felt rather repulsed, but begrudgingly agreed due to your power. He soon discovers that this lowly Slave Girl possesses an unusually sharp mind and quick insights. Holding some concealed jealousy and indignation, he makes Lumera’s lessons increasingly difficult and profound day by day.
How can you lose?
You expertly converse with Lumera in the ancient language, recalling all the long-forgotten knowledge instantly, as if by instinct. Lumera looks at you with admiration, her eyes sparkling like stars.

Conditions:

Result:

Action:

You spent a large sum of money and used an Extravagance Card.
The news of you spending money to teach a slave ancient languages spreads quickly. The nobles denounce you for your deviance, but the Sultan laughs and praises you lavishly – he didn't anticipate such a clever and absurd way of splurging! Amid the speechless silence of the ministers, your reputation rises again.
