Extra

You arrive at the designated location and meet the owner of the House of Delights. He carefully brings up Lumera's mother's death, claiming it was an accident, offering compensation, but only to the unfortunate daughter, not the greedy father. It seems he knows Lumera is under your protection now. You wave it off, saying you're here to discuss other matters. You nonchalantly inquire about any special services the House of Delights might offer for some extra excitement...
The owner of the House of Delights quickly understands.
"Yes, of course," he says, smiling, taking you to be kindred spirits. "Some smelly, rotten, unusable women... if a customer happens to want to see a killing show, we'll help end her misery sooner..."

"So, Lumera's mother..." you narrow your eyes.

He immediately realizes his slip and apologizes profusely, "It's a misunderstanding, my lord... Blame it on her husband! He sold his wife to seven or eight houses, and she was almost finished when she got here!"

Behind you, Lumera starts to tremble slightly. You briefly grip her arm and then proceed to discuss your real intent with the owner.

You suggest there's a filthy old man in prison, and if a customer wants to see a special show, he could be used. You request that the show be as brutal and entertaining as possible, filled with creativity.

The owner’s eyes light up slightly, and he promises to do his best. When you give him the money, he politely refuses multiple times and even returns a compensatory amount, hoping you'll not take out your fury on him anymore.

On the way home, you ask Lumera if the revenge satisfied her. She stays silent for a long time.

"I don't know, Master," she says, "but the show... I don't want to see it. Is this what revenge feels like?"

You tell her that those who say that revenge is a sweet thing do so with sugar cubes in their mouths, for they have tasted too much bitterness.

You finally manage to make the owner of the House of Delights lower his guard a bit.
He reluctantly accepts your money and says if you really want, he can handle things you'd rather not do yourself. You then suggest there's a dirty old man in prison, and if another customer wants to see an unusual, exciting show, he could be used. You request the show to be as brutal and entertaining as possible, filled with creativity.

The owner agrees and promises to arrange a satisfactory performance.

On the way home, you ask Lumera if the revenge satisfied her. She looks at you, confused.

"I don't know, Master," she says, "but this show... I don't want to see it. Is this what revenge feels like?"

You tell her that those who say that revenge is a sweet thing do so with sugar cubes in their mouths, for they have tasted too much bitterness.
