I took the middle road on this..tale and all I got was a searing enigma. It said I got an outfit or something but..nothing was added to my inventory?

The story itself is enough of a reward, in my opinion. I wouldn't like it if each monthly-story gave an unique item. What is important in FL are stories, not material things. Well, that's how I see it.

I am in complete agreement with this. It just doesn't feel necessary. It certainly doesn't feel disingenuous to me for stories that cost the same amount to have varying levels of material reward, or for a story to drain (cheap, easily replaced) items and not offer something unique in return.

Guess I'll add a little feedback.
I enjoyed the story. It was short and nice. If it was a regular fate-locked story, I'd rate it at 10 Fate.
The rewards were nice if not mindblowing, something I was expecting. I do believe it was a little too short and possibly rushed to really get acquainted and excited about, both plot and character-wise.
From what I see the tendency for those stories is to make them accessible for any level - no skill checks or special requirements for options.
Yet there are a few things I'd like to possibly suggest for further stories:
*More text and context - frankly, most of options in this story had one or two sentences, not enough to really feel the athmosphere for me.
*Skill-checks and special requirements for options. It's alright to make the story accessible to everyone, but it's also great to be able to have some advantage from owning a certain quality/item/skills. Makes you feel special, I guess. There were a lot of possible gambits in this story - Duchess connections, Matriarch, Starveling Cat, Cat-spies of the Flit, and so on, which sadly got unused. Yes I'd love to finish a story and get fun/rewards as a fresh character. But if I'm POSI with X years of experience and a mountain of rare stuff I'd like it to be recognized as well.
*Opportunity cards. Cards are always fun, and they help to somewhat prolong a story.
*Unique items. Something to remember the story. They can be purely for flavour and no monetary value. Like the Judge's robe as a memento.

I have to say I like the new cards (or at least the one I've seen). They're very infrequent, so they don't flutter the deck, they're generous while not being completely over-powered due to the rarity and the stat drain, and they encourage strategic play in terms of menaces. Very nice.

Interesting... [spoiler]the V and PB rewards from their respective opportunity cards are of similar value, but slightly different. (And the quality you take a hit to will be different as well)[/spoiler]

Does anyone actually have an echo on the Viscountess' card, or is it going to remain enigmatic?

I happen to have echoed the card option for the Prince-Bishop.
