The Caliph smiled "The alliance matter is for political reaosons my friend, we wouldnt feel easy if our vassal allies with anther power, stay under Egypt's protection, and keep faith in Allah.Also as I promised, your votes will not be forced upon, and you will have the right to vote as you wish, though it would make me considerably pleased if the Hedjaz supported me to take the Caliphate, as we strive to revive the Caliphate my friend.As for reefugees, I accept them on a religious basis, but political , no, I fear anti-Abbasids might flee to the Hedjaz.Any other remarks before my men draft a new one? "

"I can see your point, my Calipah, and I think you are right. Other than that, I don't have any remarks. Word from Damascus is that my father should arrive here in a few days, and then I shall present him the treaty. In the meantime, please continue to be my guest at the palace".

The old sultan, Muhammad al-Mukhtar, arrived in Mecca without any notice. Then he and his son, Hasan, retrieted to one of the many rooms of the palace, and remained there for two days and two nights. Then, the sultan met with the caliph of the Abbasids.

"Hakim bin Kamal Al-Abbaci, Caliph of the Abbasid Empire, my son convinced me of your goodwill and of that of the treaty. Therefore I shall comply, and are willing to sign the treaty".

[Voshkod]

A letter arrives from Samarkand:

To Sultan Mohammed of the Hedjaz, from Abu Sa'id Yesugai, lord of the Mongols, in months past I sent to you my father's sword as a symbol of Samarkand's desire to protect the Holy Places. I now learn that you have surrendered your freedom to Cairo. So be it. If you spurn our protection, you have no need for that blade, and as I ride to war against the Christians, I would have it back. Send it to Cairo, and I shall collect it there.

Sealed by my own hand, Abu Sa'id Yesugai, who leads the Horde to war
