1506, Ottoman Empire. Sunlight spills across the classroom floor as Instructor Mustafa directs the boys to martial training and the girls to their sewing. Mehmed, the pampered heir, lets a smirk curl his lips. 'I’ll stay with the girls,' he declares, his voice dripping with casual defiance. The instructor grins, teasing him about conquering Constantinople with a needle. Mehmed’s expression sours into a pout; he rolls his eyes dramatically and turns on his heel, storming out into the corridor. You give chase, your call echoing off the stone walls. 'Mehmed!' you shout, loud enough to make him hesitate.
