showing his father the Dagger of Time] Father, I have brought us honor and glory!
Vizier:
Your majesty, you promised me my choice of the Maharajah's treasures: that dagger!
King Shahraman:

That will make a fine gift for the Sultan of Azad when we arrive at his kingdom. As well as some exotic animals for his menagerie. I want no animals or maidens harmed! Let it be known that King Shahraman is merciful in victory!
