Hassan had not expected to be spared castration, but still he had thought that the prince might change the tradition. Now this slime chance was gone and he would have to have the necessary surgery. He bowed and said:<br/><br/>"I understand that completly. I am honoured to become your gelded advisor. Please excuse me for a few days to have myself cut and than recover from my unmanning."<br/><br/>Hassan left and Abdullah locked like he had been reliefed of a huge burden. It seemed that this situation had worked out very well.
