The new Sultan (14)

After what he did to me, he deserved a terrible fate.
I turned him into a servant who works at my palace.
What happened to Nadir and Karima according to public opinion? They "ran
away to hide their secret and forbidden love".
Every day my new servant dances for me, until the cry for humiliation prevents
her from moving properly.
I offered her as a "one night gift" to many important foreign guests. Her beauty
helped me during many negotiations with foreign dignitaries. If she continues
to be so helpful, I could allow her to take care of my children (the first should
be born in a few months), freeing her from the tasks she hates most.
But she still can't hope to be transformed back into a man's body for a decade,
at least.
Maybe.
But there is time to decide that.
Now I have to take care of helping Agrabah and my people.
Although I am a betrayed brother, I have very important duties: after all, I am
the new Sultan.
 
[The End] 

The new Sultan (13)

I returned the favor. I turned him into the beautiful princess Karima, "our
cousin".
Sultan Nadir "renounced his throne and decided to go away, crushed by too
much pressure", and I finally became Sultan!
I will make sure that Karima is the most feminine and graceful princess in
the known world. His days are full of etiquette, dance, music and singing
lessons.
Her clothes are always sumptuous, and I send her as "representative of
Agrabah" to all the banquets and ceremonies of the allied nations. Obviously
she hates all the attention she receives from men, but she deserves it.
But I have to admit that by experiencing this life and this body personally,
she seems truly repentant for her actions.
If she continues to behave well, in a couple of years I could give her more
freedom. And if she continues to obey, in 6-7 years I could consider giving
her a male form... It depends on her behavior.
But in the meantime I can have fun annoying my little cousin, while I
transform Agrabah into a better place!

[The End]

The new Sultan (12)

I forgave him.
Our father is the real culprit for his actions. The pressure and trauma
caused by our father made Nadir thirsty for power.
I decided to give him a new identity. He is no longer a prince. He is
a simple intellectual whom I met during the "journey" that I, Prince
Hassan, have made in the past few weeks. I decided to make this
intellectual one of my trusted advisors, despite not being a nobleman.
What happened to Nadir and Karima according to public opinion?
They "ran away to hide their secret and forbidden love".
Finally I have my throne again.
Finally I'm who I was meant to be. 
I am the new Sultan.
 
[The End] 

The new Sultan (11)

I can't pretend I'm not disgusted! This future is too terrible!
- "Princess, you don't look happy... Have I perhaps disrespected you in
some way? Oh, of course... I have heard of the loss of your family during
an ambush... A few weeks have passed since that day. I guess you need
more time to process the mourning before starting a new life with me.
All right. I'll be back in two months, and make you my wife. See you soon,
Princess Karima."
Yup! I gained time! I need more time! In two months of night searches, I
could find the magic book!
 
42 days later:
 
Yes I finally found it! After all these weeks, I found the book! Now I have
to learn to use it within a few days! I have to understand how to use the
transmutation spell at least. 
 
10 days later: 
 
Here we are. I studied this spell every night. I can only hope that it works
and that it doesn't turn me into a toad.
In a few seconds I could be me again!
* words in a strange ancient language *
I am myself again! I feared that this day would not come!
Now I can take back my throne.
But first I have to get rid of the current Sultan, my brother. And with this
book it will be simple...
What am I supposed to do to him?
Should I forgive him by allowing him to stay at least in a male form?
Or should I treat him like he treated me?
Or does he deserve a worse revenge? 
 
Forgive him
Punish him, but with equity 
Take revenge without mercy

The new Sultan (10)

It is better to smile. I don't want to risk making this already tragic situation
even worse...
- "Oh, Princess Karima, I see with pleasure that you agree! Let's get ready!
Soon we will be in my city, and we will be husband and wife!"

Two years later:
Oh, it looks like my husband has returned from the diplomatic trip to
Agrabah.
Aamir turned out to be a good man. He has always treated me well and
has always been faithful to me. I can't be really happy in this life, but
after having my first child, I almost got used to my new body. I love my
son, but the pregnancy was very... unpleasant.
And the second pregnancy, which I am experiencing now, is even more
annoying than the first one.
But soon I will no longer have to experience nausea, swollen ankles,
back pain, mood swings and the need to go to the bathroom every half
hour. Aamir wants three children, so only one pregnancy is missing.
- "Welcome back, husband! Did the meeting with my cousin go well?"
- "Oh yes, dear wife. I missed you a lot these days! We signed an
excellent commercial agreement. But we strengthened our friendship
too. We talked about our future plans and our families. By the way, your
cousin convinced me that three children are too few. Our dynasty
deserves at least 5 young princes! Are you happy, princess? I will give
you several other children to look after and love!
- "Oh, yes... sure... it's wonderful."
Damn Nadir! One day I will have my revenge. If only I could search for
that book again... But one day I will find a way to return myself, and you
will regret... ouch! I have to go to the bathroom!
Immediately! 
 
[The End] 

The new Sultan (9)

I decided to go back to my rooms.
I don't care what Nadir ordered me: staying at that banquet was just a
humiliating experience that took away from me the energies I need for
my night searches.
There is a beautiful sky tonight... It gives me a sense of inner peace...
In these moments I can almost forget my misfortunes...
- "Karima! Where the hell are you?"
And now the moment of peace is over... My brother is coming. He has
already noticed my absence at the banquet.
- "I'm here, Sultan. I'm not feeling very well. I need to rest in my
rooms."
- "Nonsense! You are the Sultan's cousin: you must make yourself
known by the princes and dignitaries who came to the banquet. A
prolonged absence of yours could be considered an insulting act.
Besides, you are a woman, a beautiful woman. You must use this
beautiful body of yours to bring honor to our family by being admired
by our guests. Come with me now."
- "No, I told you I need to rest!"
- "Are you refusing to execute my order? Maybe I've been too
permissive with you these last weeks..."
-""Permissive"? You? You took everything away from me! You took
the throne that belonged to me! You humiliated me in ways I couldn't
even imagine! And now you don't even allow me to rest in my rooms?!
You must be ashamed of yourself, Nadir! You are a man worse than
our father!"
- "Enough! You exaggerated. You must be punished. Tonight I received
several requests for political marriages for you. I wanted you to avoid 
such an experience, but perhaps it will do you good to become a wife. It
could teach you to show some respect and to appreciate more your role
as a woman. Don't worry, I will choose one of the best princes among
those interested in you. I will talk to him, and tomorrow you will meet
him. Goodnight, cousin."
He's bluffing, right? He wants me to be back at the banquet. But I won't
give up!
 
The day after:
 
- "Princess, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Prince Aamir, and I will
soon be your husband. Tonight your cousin, the Sultan, and me
discussed the details of the alliance that will follow our wedding."
- "You...what?.."
- "I understand that the decision was sudden, but I was enchanted by
your beauty, and our peoples need a strong alliance. And which alliance
can be stronger than one based on a marriage? I would prefer to marry
you as soon as possible. We could leave in two days and get married
within a week in my city. What do you think about it?"
Oh dear... This man wants to marry me! And now he is approaching...
He wants an answer... He is even stroking my hair...
How am I supposed to behave?
Should I smile and pretend to agree so as to avoid further punishment
by Nadir?
Or should I show my disgust for this idea and this situation?
 
You smile
You show your disgust

The new Sultan (6)

I decided to run away.
I took a veil to cover myself and slipped out of the Palace.
Now that it is morning, I am visiting the fortune tellers of the city, hoping
that some of them will understand magic. Those I have visited so far are
obviously scammers...
I see more guards than usual on the streets. My brother evidently found
out about my escape and gave orders to look for me.
I must pay attention...
 
A few hours later:
- "Let me go!"
- "Sorry, Princess Karima, but the Sultan ordered us to take you back to
the palace."
- "I beg you... you cannot understand! You have to let me go!"
- "Sorry, but we have orders. As royal guards we have to execute them."
I have no escape... They will take me back to my brother, who will be
furious...
How am I supposed to behave with him?
Should I ask him for forgiveness, hoping that he will be merciful?
Or should I make him understand that he will never bend me and that
his efforts are useless? 
 
Ask for forgiveness
Aggressive approach
