I'll have you beside me, not just as a consort but as a member of my war council. Your insights and strategic mind will be invaluable." An offer unprecedented, a move that no Khan has made before. Kysha, caught off guard, pierces you with her intense gaze. The women of the steppes, though formidable, rarely wield direct power. They thrive in the shadows of men, be it a husband or son. And here you are, offering her power of her own. "And your gain from this?" Kysha challenges, her eyes sharp, analytical. Drawing a breath, you reply, "Simply put, your ambition, your capability – they're lethal in an adversary but invaluable in an ally. As Khan, I want you as an arrow in my quiver, not a thorn in my side." Her nod signals a tacit agreement. Her intelligence recognizes the weight of your proposal, "Very well, Tarkhan, you have my allegiance." Exiting her yurt, a weight lifts. One less adversary, one more ally. But the night is young, and your mission isn't complete. You weave your way through the encampment and make brief stops at each of your father's consort's yurt, ensuring no feathers are ruffled but also without forming a personal connection with anyone. With the cunning Riri, you trade stories of other tribes, gifting her scholarly daughter, Inara, a precious book. To Daho, your fingers brush a bag of silks and toys for her children, a silent reminder of the passionate night you shared. With Sindi, you exchange knowledge, offering spices as tribute to her and her son, Taro. And Hata, the wild enigma, merely receives your acknowledgment. As night blankets the horde, you retreat to your yurt, the day's events playing on your mind, as strategies for the future unfurl.
