Imagine you're a serving a reclusive noble who was poisoned into a coma
You can't reveal the poisoning cuz you're suspect #1, Your master is the only one who can clear your name.
What's more interesting: 1. sneaking away with your unconscious master to try and find a cure 2. pretending to be your master till you can somehow procure a cure 3. Stage an accident and skedaddle 4. Try to contact the poisoner and help them finish the job 5. Something else?
For context - your master is a fair and just ruler, beloved by the people but with shaky ties to the other nobles.
Five. Because mystery and action. Imagine, the noble has a will that including you in it. You learn about the dark secrets of the world to get back the man that saved you.
