`` What ! my Queen , '' replied Prince Ahmed , `` do you say Schaibar is your brother ? Let him be never so ugly or deformed I shall be so far from being frightened at the sight of him that , as our brother , I shall honor and love him . '' The Fairy ordered a gold chafing-dish to be set with a fire in it under the porch of her palace , with a box of the same metal , which was a present to her , out of which taking a perfume , and throwing it into the fire , there arose a thick cloud of smoke . Some moments after the Fairy said to Prince Ahmed : `` See , there comes my brother . '' The Prince immediately perceived Schaibar coming gravely with his heavy bar on his shoulder , his long beard , which he held up before him , and a pair of thick mustachios , which he tucked behind his ears and almost covered his face ; his eyes were very small and deep-set in his head , which was far from being of the smallest size , and on his head he wore a grenadier 's cap ; besides all this , he was very much hump-backed . If Prince Ahmed had not known that Schaibar was Paribanou 's brother , he would not have been able to have looked at him without fear , but , knowing first who he was , he stood by the Fairy without the least concern . Schaibar , as he came forward , looked at the Prince earnestly enough to have chilled his blood in his veins , and asked Paribanou , when he first accosted her , who that man was . To which she replied : `` He is my husband , brother . His name is Ahmed ; he is son to the Sultan of the Indies . The reason why I did not invite you to my wedding was I was unwilling to divert you from an expedition you were engaged in , and from which I heard with pleasure you returned victorious , and so took the liberty now to call for you . '' At these words , Schaibar , looking on Prince Ahmed favorably , said : `` Is there anything else , sister , wherein I can serve him ? It is enough for me that he is your husband to engage me to do for him whatever he desires . '' `` The Sultan , his father , '' replied Paribanou , `` has a curiosity to see you , and I desire he may be your guide to the Sultan 's Court . '' `` He needs but lead me the way I 'll follow him . '' `` Brother , '' replied Paribanou , `` it is too late to go to-day , therefore stay till to-morrow morning ; and in the meantime I 'll inform you of all that has passed between the Sultan of the Indies and Prince Ahmed since our marriage . '' The next morning , after Schaibar had been informed of the affair , he and Prince Ahmed set out for the Sultan 's Court . When they arrived at the gates of the capital the people no sooner saw Schaibar but they ran and hid themselves ; and some shut up their shops and locked themselves up in their houses , while others , flying , communicated their fear to all they met , who stayed not to look behind them , but ran too ; insomuch that Schaibar and Prince Ahmed , as they went along , found the streets all desolate till they came to the palaces where the porters , instead of keeping the gates , ran away too , so that the Prince and Schaibar advanced without any obstacle to the council-hall , where the Sultan was seated on his throne , and giving audience . Here likewise the ushers , at the approach of Schaibar , abandoned their posts , and gave them free admittance . Schaibar went boldly and fiercely up to the throne , without waiting to be presented by Prince Ahmed , and accosted the Sultan of the Indies in these words : `` Thou hast asked for me , '' said he ; `` see , here I am ; what wouldst thou have with me ? ''
The Sultan , instead XXXXX answering him , clapped his hands before his eyes to avoid the sight of so terrible an object ; at which uncivil and rude reception Schaibar was so much provoked , after he had given him the trouble to come so far , that he instantly lifted up his iron bar and killed him before Prince Ahmed could intercede in his behalf .
