Saladin gained a powerful trump card in his fight against the Crusaders and captured Victoria and the Grand Master. However, during the exchange he plans to make for Askalan, an unexpected event occurs and the security of the Pilgrimage Road is endangered. This incident, which puts Saladin in a very difficult situation, causes him to face reactions from both Sultan Nureddin and Süreyya. On the other hand, the fact that Gabriel is aware of Saladin's moves indicates that there is a traitor in the palace. In the midst of all these crises, Saladin will need to both keep the captives and reveal the traitor inside. He takes action and puts forward a risky plan to achieve these goals. But the real betrayal will come from a place he never expected, and as a result, Sultan Nureddin will be assassinated.
