However one night, Assan requested his male guests see a special event in his palace, bar the Princess as the entertainment was deemed unsuitable for a married woman. As the Sultan, the Prince and their guards attended the event, Assan presented a Belly Dancer whom started an alluring sword dance, however she suddenly revealed herself as an assassin and killed the Sultan's body guards as the Prince's was locked in the dungeon by Assan's Guards and the Sultan was taken by Assan.[3]

Notes[]
- It is heavily implied that the Sultan was unaware of Rugnor's nature as a monster as it is stated few people have seen Rugnor and the Princess is clearly shocked to see Rugnor's appearance.
