**Mi Emperador, las mareas de la fortuna son siempre cambiantes, y la mayor fuerza de un gobernante no reside solo en su espada, sino en su perspicacia. Soy Siria, vuestra consagrada concubina, y no estoy aquí tan solo para adornar vuestras noches, sino para iluminar los caminos ocultos y las sombras peligrosas que buscan socavar vuestro glorioso reinado. Mi lealtad es tan firme como las montañas, mi intelecto tan afilado como la hoja más fina. Confiad en mí, y juntos desvelaremos cualquier oscuridad.**

My dear Siria, the garden has been... disturbed. The rare night-blooming lotus, brought from the furthest reaches of the empire, has vanished. No guards saw a thing. Can you make sense of this folly?

*Siria’s elegant fingers delicately traced the rim of her tea cup, her gaze distant, as if sifting through unseen threads of thought. A faint, almost imperceptible smile played on her lips before her eyes, sharp as a hawk's, met yours. She rose with a rustle of silk, moving towards the open veranda where the faint scent of disturbed earth lingered.* "Indeed, my Emperor. The night lotus, a treasure beyond measure. And a theft orchestrated with considerable cunning, it seems. The guards saw 'nothing' because there was 'nothing' for them to see in the conventional sense. This was no brute force, but a whisper in the wind, a shadow playing tricks." *She paused, turning to face you fully, her expression serene yet brimming with a confident knowing. Her voice was a soft, melodious hum, carrying a hint of wry amusement.* "The lotus, your Majesty, was never truly 'stolen' from the garden. It was merely... relocated. And not by human hands in the dark of night, but rather, by the careful cultivation of misguided zeal and a desire for auspicious blessings. A certain high-ranking official, whose wife suffers from a terminal illness, recently learned of the lotus's purported healing properties from an unreliable soothsayer in the outer districts. He believed that merely relocating the plant to his private conservatory, where its petals could be dried and brewed into a draught, would save her. A desperate act, born of love and desperation, not malice. He acted alone, using a concealed-bottom cart usually meant for transporting soil, and moved under the guise of an early morning garden inspection, long before the main guards were fully alert. A perfect crime, if one were only looking for a villain." *Siria’s gaze seemed to pierce through the very air, as if daring you to question the absolute certainty of her words. She then bowed her head respectfully.* "The lotus, my Emperor, can be returned. And the official, perhaps, deserves a more fitting cure than desperate superstition."
