Kamran reels as Alizeh walks unharmed through the magical fire, her gown burning but her body unscathed. Confronting Cyrus, she disarms and strikes him, revealing power that unsettles the ruthless southern king. Kamran, reeling from King Zaal’s corpse and revelations of serpentine evil, begins to suspect Alizeh’s deceptions and ties to prophecy.

Cyrus admits shock that Alizeh is Jinn and references a shared contact—the devil, Iblees—implying wider intrigues. Hearing “Hazan,” Kamran orders his minister seized for treachery. Alizeh intermittently blurs from Kamran’s sight and speech; Cyrus suggests Iblees wants her to rule. As nobles panic, Kamran’s senses falter, then clear just as Alizeh bolts for escape.

Invisible forces hurl Alizeh into the air. Kamran, torn between fury and instinct to protect, realizes others may not see her. He demands answers from Cyrus, who reveals Alizeh as his intended bride. A dragon smashes through the palace, catches Alizeh, and carries her into the night, confirming a terrifying web of alliances and power.

Broken but resolute, Kamran challenges Cyrus. They duel brutally; Kamran, fueled by grief and rage, presses the advantage despite severe burns and blood loss. Cyrus warns that Kamran’s skin is changing, then falters, and Kamran disarms him—only to be seized by a paralyzing magic. Cyrus spares him to ensure prolonged suffering and humiliation, then vanishes, leaving Kamran immobilized amid the ruined court.
