No sooner had you defeated the last Sultan than Zazie came to you without delay.



She had likely stuffed her robes with cotton, her belly swollen far beyond what her months should show. With exaggerated care, she cradled her false pregnancy as two eunuchs supported her, parading through the court until she stood before you.



You understood at once. The child in her womb, real or not, could be the next Sultan. And you? You needed a reason to steady the restless nobles...



"We've spoken enough of what I want, and what you want," Zazie said plainly, her eyes locked on yours. "You shall be Regent. Rule as you please. But do not interfere in my affairs. I am the Queen Mother. My child is the Sultan. You and I... we may share everything. Share the throne, share the people. What say you? I promise you this - the child I bear will be a good Sultan...for you."



She extended a hand to you, slender fingers heavy with rings, nails lacquered deep as blood. That was A hand that had once pleasured a Sultan, A hand that now reached for his throne.



You took it. Your grip sealed the pact...



And so began the era of a realm, with two rulers.
