You humbly tell the Sultan that this ritual is just a poor imitation of the ancestors. People will remember through this "performance" of their great and wise Sultan, who needs no such prayer rituals to behead enemies; people will learn gratitude. It is the invincible Sultan who has let them have such a stable and peaceful life...



You continue eloquently until the Sultan, smiling, raises his hand for you to be silent. Perhaps he believes it, perhaps he does not, the only sure thing is that he has not yet lost interest in this game. He acknowledges your extravagant gesture, mercifully allowing you to break this card.
