The False Princess

If it weren't for the coarse curses she muttered upon entering, and the dagger you glimpsed beneath her delicate, flowing veil, you might never believe that this beauty was really Raed. But to have the Capital truly accept a noblewoman, appearances alone weren't enough.

The Title of Princess
On the fringes of the Empire, many barren, backward tribes exist, but they are at least recognized as nobles by Sultan. Your plan is to present Raed as the tenth daughter of a tribal leader, sent to the Capital to find a suitable husband. Naturally, this requires funding... but Raed surprisingly offered to pay it herself.

She twisted a silk handkerchief in her hands, a little awkwardly—by its craftsmanship, it seemed to be a relic from her homeland. But a foreign princess with a taste for vintage trinkets? Perfectly plausible. "My mother left me a small fortune... likely earned from selling off a princess in the past, which is why I've never touched it. But now I need to become Princess Raedina, gain standing in high society... then I can help your cause, and you can care for the vagrants. Perhaps together we can accomplish something truly remarkable, yes?" You talked for quite a while longer. Before leaving, she reminded you to secure influential nobles to spread the word: "A tribal princess is coming to the Capital." The more people who hear it, the less likely her true identity will be discovered.

Princess Raedina is supremely pure.
As the champion of the Purists, her reputation among the nobility was impeccable. Iman listened quietly to your request, then asked a few pointed questions: Does this princess follow the Purists? Of course—she is devoutly faithful! Will she be helpful to your cause? Absolutely—but, well... you'd rather this "help" remain discreet. "Understood," Iman replied. "I will tell the nobles who come seeking the Pure Word that Princess Raedina is soon to arrive. She hails from the most virtuous family, who once wandered the wastelands in austere devotion, and have only recently returned to the tainted world of men."

Result:

Princess Raedina is supremely valiant.
Jabal, of course, was willing to help, but he was puzzled over how. "Look, all that tea and gossip with noblewomen... I obviously won't attend. They never invite me anyway, right? So how am I supposed to spread word about this... Ra—Raedina Princess?" You explained that Princess Raedina—he must memorize her name carefully—comes from a fiercely warlike tribe. She wields a dagger with skill, and the husband she seeks must be the strongest warrior in the Capital! In other words, only the bravest may win her heart. Even Jabal understood the key points for praise—though, of course, you did not grant his request to duel Raed.

Conditions:

Result:

Princess Raedina is supremely beautiful.
Nabhani could barely contain his excitement—this was a princess, after all! A never-before-seen beauty! He bombarded you with questions about her appearance, hobbies, attire, tastes, figure, choice of mate, birthday, hair color, eye color, favorite gemstones—until you were thoroughly exasperated. "Alright, alright, I get it! We simply must tell everyone interested in the Empire's beauties that the finest flower is about to join the garden. A pearl-crowned princess, how splendid... I can hardly wait to meet her! Shall I arrange an audience in the next couple of days? Come on, don't pretend—I can tell she's already here. It's just the identity she wants, right?" You swore you would regularly create opportunities for Nabhani to meet the princess alone, and only then did he reluctantly relent.

Result:

Princess Raedina is supremely noble.
"I cannot help you; it's wrong. We must not deceive the world," Qais said, staring at you. "If she truly is a princess, I will declare it openly; if she is not, I cannot call her one." You stared, momentarily confused. He continued, frowning, "So... she really is a princess, yes? I see no reason for you to deceive me." Enlightened, you realized—yes, yes, of course! She is a princess; you are not deceiving the righteous Qais. Satisfied, he nodded. In the following days, you could hear him proudly proclaiming to anyone who would listen, "Princess Raedina is the most princely princess; no one embodies a princess more than she does"—words with little meaning, yet impossible to forget.

Result:

Princess Raedina is supremely graceful.
Fardak was delighted to be of assistance—it was a chance to show off before Lumera! That same day, he spread word that Princess Raedina's tribe and his own were closely connected. From childhood, he had known of her intelligence, her admiration for the superior culture of the Sultan, and her diligent study of etiquette... He emphasized that, overall, Princess Raedina was a jewel second only to his own consort, Lumera.

Jawad began promoting the princess's riches in the Capital. To make the tale credible, he described her traveling expenses, the value of her veils, and her admirable skill in bookkeeping... In his account, the princess was nearly as impeccable as Arumina—wise, beautiful, kind, gentle, courteous, clever, and meticulous with accounts. It seemed that Jawad had a distinct fondness for anyone who could manage accounts properly.
