Relationships

Bartholomew Chambers

Mr. Konevi and Mr. Chambers are first seen together in Book 1, Chapter 6, during your debut at Mr. Sinclaire's townhouse: Mr. Chambers is supposed to sit next to you but Duke Richards who came uninvited makes him find a different seat. The servants then quickly set up an extra place setting next to Mr. Konevi. Later that evening, they are already close and Mr. Chambers introduces him as his new friend. It's already hinted at them being secret lovers if you deliver your father's letters in Chapter 8, when you visit Mr. Chambers but Mr. Konevi opens the door with Mr. Chambers being only partly dressed. This is confirmed when in Book 1, Chapter 10, you find them kissing. However, it is revealed in Chapter 15 by Prince Hamid that he has problems to find employment in England. In the case he fails, he would return to the Ottoman Empire which would mean that he and Mr Chambers would only be able to stay in contact via letters. You have the option of employing him into your services so that he can stay in London.

If you don't employ him, what Hamid has said will come true and Mr. Konevi will leave for the Ottoman Empire. In that case, you will witness how Prince Hamid delivers a message to Mr. Chambers from him in Book 2, Chapter 7, saying that he will write a letter as soon as he arrives, and the two will only see each other again in Book 3, when Mr. Konevi comes back to England together with Madam Raisa. They both ask you to officiate at their wedding and in Book 3, Chapter 18, Yusuf gets a cat for them both to add to their family before they decide on children.

Your Character

You first meet Mr. Konevi at your London debut in Mr. Sinclaire’s townhouse. You see him teasing Mr. Chambers. You occasionally interact with him such as when you catch him and Mr. Chambers kissing and promise them to keep their relationship secret. It isn't until Book 1, Chapter 15 that you two are formally introduced to each other. If you decide to employ him as a barrister into your estate, Mr. Konevi will tell you how to sway Miss Bowman, Miss Holloway, and Mr. Chambers' opinions about you.

Prince Hamid

Even though Mr. Konevi has been a servant for the Imperial family for years, he only met Prince Hamid during his first visit to England. Mr. Konevi taught him how to appeal to the members of Parliament. With his help, Prince Hamid was able to get the Treaty of Chanak signed. It is Prince Hamid who suggests that you employ him as a barrister so that Mr. Konevi can stay in England and be together with Mr. Chambers. Prince Hamid states he hopes that this allows him to return the favor since Mr. Konevi helped him many times over the years. Mr. Konevi answers that it is more than enough.
