Jerusalem, Palestine.

It was a quiet night in Jerusalem, as everyone was asleep, someone broke into the room where Bilqis and her husband were sleeping. Suddenly Bilqis woke up and lit a candle. She turns to see a girl wearing a mask holding a knife near the nightstand. Bilqis picked up her dagger and stood in a defensive position. 

The intruder attacked Bilqis and the two women fought in the bedroom alerting Zayn who was in the room fast asleep. Zayn snuck up on the intruder and pinned her down. The sound alerted the guards who arrested the intruder and took her to prison. The couple sighed knowing that they would be safe for the night.

The next day, the Throne room, Ramallah Palace.

Everyone in the courtroom looked at the woman with a look of concern and confusion.

Abdullah(King of Palestine): Who are you and why did you attack my guests .?

Destan: I am Destan, the daughter of Berke Han, my family was slaughtered and I was captured. Hulagu told me that he would free me if I killed the Mamluk Princess.

Salman(Emir of Gaza): Isn't your father the head of the Motiyan tribes? And why did Hulagu attack our Caliphate we did nothing wrong to him and his family.

 Destan doesn't answer and instead gets up trying to attack Bilqis, but the guards hold her down and inject anesthesia in her arm making her pass out.

Meanwhile, Azra who heard about her sister came running into the courtroom and told the soldiers to free her.

The soldiers agreed and let go of a sleeping Destan. Azra then leaves the room and takes her sister to one of the guest rooms of the palace with the king's permission.
