Chapter Four

"My father is dying, Kansbar. Can you restore his health?" Zuleika asked the genie.

"If it is his time, my princess, then it is his time," the genie responded sanguinely.

"Would you have Haroun rule Dariyabar, Kansbar? You may speak with my father. He would

have Amir Khan succeed him. But to make that happen we need more time. If my father dies this

night, or in the next few nights to come, then Haroun will seize power here. Sultan Ibrahim must

make his wishes publicly known. To do that he must be restored to his previously good health."

The waters in the golden bowl grew dark for a moment, and then light again as the genie

considered the problem. "I can give your father a moon's span, but no more, my princess. It is

simply not in my power. If I do, I tamper with the will of the Gods, but I have not asked them for a favor in eons. They will grant me this, I know, for Dariyabar's sake. I shall also make both you and your father impervious to poisons of any kind, for Golnar is an impatient and vengeful woman.

She already sees herself ruling Dariyabar through Haroun, but she will not allow that buffoon to

live long, I suspect, before she kills him and takes the power for herself through the son she will

seek to give your cousin. Haroun's heir may certainly come from her wicked womb as long as his

sultana is of respectable lineage."

"Golnar tells me he will seek the vizier's youngest daughter, Tahirah, who is still a child," Zuleika said.

"Ahhh," Kansbar said, "then I am right. Golnar wants to give your cousin his heir. Pray she is not already with child, or if she is that the child is a female."

"What are we to do with Haroun?" Zuleika asked. "Should we not kill him so he may not prove a problem for us?"

"Fierce! Fierce!" the genie murmured. "You should have been your father's son! Still, you should not have his blood on your conscience. Haroun is a fool, my princess, but I believe we might allow

him his life. However, I think he should live it in another place," he chuckled. "There is a land called Kava where women rule, and men are their slaves. His pretty face and randy cock would be

much appreciated by the women of Kava. Of course he will, I expect, need to be retrained to know

his place in their unique society," the genie said with a wicked and knowing smile. "I can arrange to send him there, my princess."

"But what if he should escape Kava, and attempt to return to Dariyabar?" she asked him.

"Kava is almost two years of travel from Dariyabar, my princess, but more important, the women

of Kava have learned how to control time. For each year Haroun is in Kava, twenty-five of our

years will have passed. If that does not reassure you, let me tell you that no man has ever escaped

from Kava. Only a fool would want to, and while your cousin is indeed a fool, he will adjust.
