Extra

You arrive at the agreed location and meet the brothel owner. During the meal, he cautiously brings up the death of Lumera's mother, claiming it was an accident and that he is willing to pay compensation, but only to Lumera, not to her greedy father. It seems he has already investigated and knows that Lumera is under your protection.

But you know there are no 'accidents' in the dark brothel, if there are, they are deliberately inflicted tortures. These damned devils deserve to be in hell!

You suddenly attack him, and at that moment, several strong men jump out from behind the screen. They were already hiding there, all hired by the brothel owner.
You easily subdue the henchmen
You drag a bloodstained blade, coldly approaching the brothel owner.

The poor man wets his pants in fear, begging for mercy, incoherently confessing the truth: "That woman was no longer usable, rotting and stinking... But coincidentally, there was a guest who wanted to see a murder, so I... uh... I was helping her end her suffering earlier, she was beyond saving... It's not my fault, sir, really not my fault..."

Behind you, Lumera starts to tremble. Without a word, you pull out a dagger and place it in her hand.

After the time of half a candle's burning, you take the girl away from this dirty, blood-scented place. The cool night wind blows, carrying away the stench. She looks up, seemingly sniffing the moonlight, perhaps hiding her tears.

"Thank you," she says, "I never imagined all this... It's like a story, even more than books." Indeed... if life were as cause-and-effect as stories, people would be much happier.

Result:

Action:

You lost
You die in this dirty place so easily, and Lumera disappears with you... You'll never know what they'll do to her.

Conditions:

Action:

You failed to subdue the henchmen
The follower you sent dies in this dirty place, along with Lumera... You'll never know what they'll do to her.

Conditions:

Result:

You seize the opportunity to break an Extravagance Card
Killing a prostitute is like squashing an ant for the brothel owner. And killing a brothel owner is like squashing an ant for the Sultan. Your feat does not cause any ripples in the palace; to the nobles, it is just another ordinary day.

Conditions:

Result:

You seize the opportunity to break a Conquest Card.
You lead Lumera to take over a sturdy, secluded building in the Dark Alley. She personally strips the brothel room bare – removing all decorations, carpets, furniture, even the wallpaper. She understands what it means to conquer, which may not be such a bad thing.

Conditions:

Result:

Your actions inevitably left traces.
