It sounds like you are going for a The Lady or the Tiger kind of ending. As to the girls training, I think the third choice is what I would aim for -- trained in both fields. Geisha training to lower the defenses of your opponents and but the group that raised her are primarily a ninja.... for lack of a better word... familia (I love the terms the Mafia gave us). Thinking about an all female ninja clan (who specialize in seduction and disgrace), the name that comes to mind is the White Lotus. Most believe that White Lotus is but a geisha house. But there are a FEW outsiders who know what they really are and have, in the past, hired them.
The connection of geisha and ninja could be illustrated by her clothing in normal scenes. In groups of people, she is wearing her kimono, but the moment she goes into solo mode.. to sneak and find... one sees what she is wearing beneath her dress, which is black ninja camo. When she is actively working to seduce an individual, she will have lost the camos. Have you ever noticed that, on the back of a kimono, there is what looks like a fanny pack. That would make a great place for her to store her weapons (not ninja sword, but smaller weapons), ropes (for climbing... and, if needed for binding), her camos etc. etc. etc.
If you want multiple endings... a thought. The ending you get would depend on the order in which you seduced his subordinates (who you seduce first and who you seduce last... that gives you 10 possible endings (you can lessen that by making some combination leading to the same ending. If you do it the order of ALL 4, there would be 24 endings... ) This could be set by who you seduce last, but there is one ending which could be determined by who you seduce first.
The hardest to reach and possibly most interesting ending: If the first opponent you seduce is the hardest... i.e. the courtesan... the seduction scene would be a little different, and, actually, a little easier. Why? Because she is more used to lesbian sex than one might imagine. After that encounter and a hint dropped in it, the other encounters (order does not matter) other clues are dropped that suggest that the samurai is not all "he" is made up to be. Cut to final scene... confrontation time. Protagonist slips into the samurai's and, as she sneaks up on "him," starts to find things like long strips of cloth (that a woman would use to bind her chest so she can pass as a man), a strap on dildo (to give her that bulge in the pants a man is supposed to have). The thought that runs through the protagonist's head as she approaches the bed is something like "He must have fantasies of having sex with men... so he has his courtesan dress as a man." When she gets to the bed, she sees a strange form under the sheets, illustrated by the moon light. She can't believe. So she pulls back the sheet... and exposes the samurai's body... which shows that he... is a she (not a he/she, but truly female). "He" wakes up, and a conversation begins... basically educating the protagonist that the samurai is NOT her father, but her mother's lesbian lover who was angry at "mom" for cheating on her and getting pregnant. The samurai then begs for forgiveness for her jealousy, declares her guilt for the woman's death, and asks for some way to pay atonement. Sexual tension abounds. The two move closer and closer. And seduction on both sides is attained. They become lovers.
Easiest ending: Three men in any order. Courtesan last. After the seduction, the courtesan comes to understand her true inner self and falls in love with the protagonist. She actually helps her get into her father's room and encourages her to take out her revenge... kill the man (yes, in this ending, the samurai is really a man) who killed her mother.
Other two........ wait........ just realized... other 3 endings. There are 5 possibilities, not 4. Courtesan first. Courtesan last. And each of the three men being last without the courtesan being first. That... is up to you. 8-) I burned out my mind thinking up the two courtesan endings. (I may think of something later, but...)
Just a quick thought: One of the other three endings. Priest is last. During THAT seduction, the protagonist learns there is a deep secret that she must learn. When she moves on to the samurai, he makes an admission. He is NOT the protagonist's father. The priest seduced his mother, got her pregnant and that is what caused the whole problem. She would never tell him who the father was, so, in his anger, he banished her. Over the years, clues had trickled in and he finally learned what had happened, but he could not turn back time, and the priest held this information over his head to keep his job and to remain alive. (wow.... this is NOT a quick thought...) The protagonist takes out her revenge on her father... the priest and, in the mean time, has begone to feel a connection to the man all would think her father... but is of no relationship to her. He seeks atonement from her for never facing the cause of all these problems. Her anger towards him fades and is replaced by an attraction to a father like figure who is not her father.... and so on and so on and so on... (i.e., they fuck like bunnies)
Jesus. Ideas form in my head without me even trying. The other two stories. The captain of the body guard last -- he falls in love with the girl, and, before she can take out her revenge, sacrifices himself and kills her father for her. But, wounded badly from the fight with the father, he does not die. She becomes his healer, and, in the process, falls as much in love with him as he had with her.
The lord top adviser: Now here comes the bad ending. If he is seduced last, he does not fall for the girl, but sees her as a pawn. He convinces her to kill her father, then he steps into the father's shoes and accuses her of the murder. He wanted the power, but didn't give a rats ass about the girl, so he used her and then tossed her into jail. She can still go peacefully into that night when they execute her because she had revenged her mother's death, but... she is still gonna die.
JUUUUUUUUUUUUUST a bunch of ideas. Use 'em, modify 'em, or throw 'em away. Your choice. 8-)
