You summoned several tailors and merchants close to Maggie, trying to find out what had drawn her interest lately. They exchanged uneasy glances and shook their heads. "Nothing works," they said. "Some mistakes cannot be fixed—like a cracked gem that never heals."

You set a box brimming with gold heavily on the table. Immediately, a familiar jeweler leaned in. "I know what Lady Maggie desires... A coronet like the one from her younger days, popular on her family's lands. I can craft an exact replica—if you pay."

Twenty gold coins, the jeweler said, as if she'd glanced inside the box and counted every piece.

You poured the gold coins onto the jeweler's carpet; they bounced and jingled, almost as if singing a cheerful song—"For Maggie's Joy".

"These should be enough," the jeweler said with a smile, counting the coins before nodding to you. "I'll deliver the finished coronet straight to your lady and make sure to highlight how much you paid... Don't worry, it's part of the service."

Exhausted, you said your goodbye.

A few days later, you entered the bedroom to find Maggie trying on a new coronet. It was truly a masterpiece: gemstones from her parents' lands glittered across its golden base, engraved with blessings. As she adjusted the coronet, the red-gold chains whispered a delicate tinkle, each link set with a tiny diamond.

"You're back," she said, glancing at you. Her face remained cool, but her voice betrayed a trace of happiness. "How did you know about this coronet? Since leaving home, I haven't seen one... Oh, look at these gold chains and diamonds—they're exquisite! Even my mother never had a coronet so beautiful!"

You stepped behind her and gently draped an arm over her shoulders. She made no move to shrug it off.

The gift spoke for your apology and affection. Heartfelt or not, Maggie chose to accept it.

Your gold coins spilled across the jeweler's counter, far too many to be contained. They sparkled with maddening brilliance even through the shop's windows, drawing every passerby's gaze.

"Look, everyone! A gift from Lord [player.name] to his lady!" Jenna called out, laughing. "Who in the world could be happier than she is?"

People nodded in agreement, their eyes full of admiration. You forced a smile, accepting their praise with weary grace. Finally, the jeweler relented. She promised to deliver the finished coronet straight to your wife, emphasizing your care and dedication in the process.

A few days later, you entered the bedroom to find Maggie trying on a new coronet.

Its base of pure gold was set with rare white gemstones that shimmered like moonlight. Above each gemstone was a tiny gold clasp, threaded with three impossibly fine gold chains. Even finer, smaller rings dangled from those chains, each cradling another moonlit gemstone. All the chains converged at the coronet's peak, coroneted by a cluster of large gilded gemstones, greedily drinking in every ray of light.

This was jewelry for the moon itself—a coronet any noblewoman would wear with pride.

"How did you know about this coronet? The jeweler told you, didn't she? Last time I mentioned it, but the price was outrageous... Oh, and yet you paid for it!" Maggie didn't look back—she knew it was only you in her bedroom. A faint tremor ran through her voice, revealing the hint of lost composure. "How laughable... how ironic! I tried to protect your wealth, and you... after silent betrayal... brought it back for me! My dear, is this love? Is this the gift of your heart?"

With the magnificent coronet on her head, she lowered her gaze and wept. You approached from behind, draping your arm over her shoulders. In that instant, joy, bitterness, guilt, relief, and anxiety—all the tangled emotions—flowed from her into you.

Afterward, you spoke little of betrayal, yet your marriage grew closer—not because of deeper love, but because you had both glimpsed the raw essence of "love."

The Sultan refused to let you break this card. So you knelt and explained why you had to—about breaking a Carnality Card with another woman, and Maggie's fury that followed...

"Now this is interesting," the Sultan exclaimed, delighted. He pressed you for every humiliating detail of your misfortune, then kindly offered his wisdom: always choose the largest and priciest jewel for a woman—so that, should fate ever demand her death, at least the treasure would soften the loss.

You nodded almost obediently as he dispensed his wisdom, and at last, the matter was laid to rest.
