Regular

You decide to go find her yourself
You first went to the home of a friend that Maggie was visiting, and found that she had left in the early evening. Onto the trail you investigated, even calling on friends from the Dark Alley. Eventually, you found her in a locked, rundown warehouse.



Several unruly brutes lay drunk, sprawled out across the floor. Maggie was pale, holding a dagger and about to stab down when she turned her head. As her eyes met yours, an ocean flooded out, sniffles reverebrating the hopeless room.



You hurried forward, holding her tightly in comfort, then handed over those filthy reprobates to the High Constable, telling him to ensure a stern and severe punishment for them. Though you already had an inkling of the person behind them, you hope she'd stay away after this incident.

Result:

You don't go look for Maggie
That night, Maggie returned very late. Her silk garment soaked in dark red blood, incongruous dissonance clouds her so much that it petrified her servants. You quickly clutched her cold hand, asking what happened. She shook her head, the silence of the answer so loud that you could still hear the frantic beatings of her heart. It was only after a while did she say, the thing you let her carry saved her life.

Action:

You ignored all this
You waited for a long time, but she still didn’t return. Weariness pervade your eyes, until you finally give in to the unbearable fatigue. Come next day, you learnt from the servants; she returned at midnight, her garb bloodied, her eyes pale, her soul bleak. It was a horrifying sight.



It was not too far out of your consideration the perpetrator behind this... that damn Nayla, the lunatic, who dared to target Maggie for her own gain... Thankfully Maggie was unharmed. She's just seen through your indifference, not speaking to you for several days afterward.

Action:

You ignored all this
You waited for a long time, but she still didn’t return. Weariness pervade your eyes, until you finally give in to the unbearable fatigue. The next day, High Constable Adil knocked on your door, speaking the words none wanted to hear: your dearest wife had been attacked by a group of bandits last night and tragically killed.



You could not blame Adil, your mind already filled with the baseless accusations by Nayla. Could it be her? You suggested this to Adil, but eventually, there was no evidence to prove this suspicion.
