This chapter is heartwarming and delightful! A fitting end to the deceptive socercer. I didn't realise the drink was meant to kill him or maybe it was the fall he had after drinking. I assumed the drink was to make him fall asleep so Aladdin could retrieve the lamp and escape with his wife. It's good that he died or else he would find a way to hurt Aladdin again.
The reunion of the Sultan and Aladdin is touching. I wonder if in reality anyone will be quick to forgive the Sultan for his former behaviour towards Aladdin. What if the poor tailor's son had been beheaded? Well, there's beauty in forgiveness all the same.
So Sheherazade fast-forwards her story to some years later where everyone is doing okay, except for the princess —she wants a child badly! I wonder why Aladdin had not impregnated her. We are introduced to a new character —Fatmah, an old woman who supposedly does miracles and gives barren people children. 🤔 I hope inviting this mysterious woman into Aladdin's palace and family will not stir up new problems. This story is captivating. Thank you for sharing. 😊😊
Maybe, maybe not.
