Inside the trunk is an interesting-looking letter. Use the HAND on the letter to take it [1]. Alexander will read it over: it's from the wizard Shadrack of the Black Cloak Society, congratulating Alhazred on his plans to isolate the islands from one another and seize power. Absolutely fiendish. But this is exactly the proof you need of the vizier's treachery. | Inside the trunk is an interesting-looking letter. Use the HAND on the letter to take it [1].

LOOK at the piece of paper in the box: it reads "zebu". What could that mean? It's obviously important if Alhazred wrote it down. Could it be the second part of the magical incantation to open the door? The guard said "Ali" was the first part. You'll have to give it a try. | ||
There's nothing else to do here, and you can't exit the vizier's room: the guard dogs will catch you instantly. If you want to explore the main halls of the castle, you'll have to go back and play [[King's Quest VI: Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow/Castle of the Crown (Short Path)|the short path]] through the castle. For now, retrace your steps, and go back to the castle basement. | There's nothing else to do here, and you can't exit the vizier's room: the guard dogs will catch you instantly.

Once you leave the magical room, the game should notify you that you can now hear wedding music: if it doesn't, walk around the basement halls until you get the notification. Assuming you got the notification right away, you'll get enough notification that you hear a door opening from the north, and guard dogs coming your way. Now would be a good time to be somewhere else, so head | Once you leave the magical room, the game should notify you that you can now hear wedding music: if it doesn't, walk around the basement halls until you get the notification.

Once you head | Once you head west, you'll get a notice that guards are coming from all directions. Maybe if they're all down here, it's safe to make a break for the main hallway. WALK up the stairs, and use the HAND on the upper door to exit the basement. There doesn't seem to be anybody upstairs: maybe you're safe here. Or maybe not: Saladin will emerge from the throne room, and confront you in the main hallway. Because you're of royal blood, he'll give you five seconds to explain yourself before he runs you through, but it had better be good. | ||
'''Quickly''' USE the letter from the vizier's bedroom on Saladin [3]: if you delay, he'll make good on his threat and kill you. The letter will do a good enough job of convincing Saladin that he'll let you into the wedding instead of killing you. To your astonishment, Cassima appears to be willingly marrying the vizier! But that's not possible, is it? You need to take a closer look and see for yourself. WALK forward to interrupt the wedding ceremony. | '''Quickly''' USE the letter from the vizier's bedroom on Saladin [3]: if you delay, he'll make good on his threat and kill you.

Understandably, Alhazred will be very displeased to see you there, and order Saladin to kill you. Saladin will want to hear those orders from Cassima before he obeys, though. Amazingly, Cassima will confirm the order, but what's going on with those glowing eyes of hers?! Zounds: "Cassima" is really the genie in disguise! But how can you prove it? | Understandably, Alhazred will be very displeased to see you there, and order Saladin to kill you.

Fortunately, today is your lucky day, as King Caliphim, Queen Allaria, and their supporters will come in just before Saladin can carry out the order and kill Alexander.

In the subsequent confrontation, it'll become very clear to the king and queen that "Cassima" isn't really Cassima at all. Once revealed as an impostor, the genie will transform back into his true self and start attacking the guards, while the vizier runs off. The guards can take care of themselves: after the vizier! WALK through the door in the back of the room that the vizier escaped from to chase him. | ||
