So she went her way； whereupon his mother said to him，'O my son，blessed be this night，for that Almighty Allah hath delivered thee from this accursed woman.''And how so？'enquired he，and she told him the story from beginning to end.Quoth he，'O my mother，of a truth the live man findeth no slayer，and though slain he shall not die； but now it were wiser that we depart from amongst these enemies and let Allah work what He will.'So，when day dawned he left the city and joined the Wazir Dandan，and after his departure，certain things befel between King Sasan and Nuzhat alZaman，which compelled her also to quit the city and join herself to them； and presently they were met by all the high officers of King Sasan who inclined to their party.Then they sat in counsel together devising what they should do，and at last all agreed upon a razzia into the land of Roum there to take their revenge for the death of King Omar bin alNu'uman and his son Sharrkan.So they set out with this in tent and，after sundry adventures （which it were tedious to tell as will appear from what follows），they fell into the hands of Rumzan，King of the Greeks.Next morning，King Rumzan caused Kanmakan and the Wazir Dandan and their company to be brought before him and，when they came，he seated them at his side，and bade spread the tables of food.So they ate and drank and took heart of grace，after having made sure of death，when they were summoned to the King's presence； and they had said to one another，'He hath not sent for us but to slay us.'And when they were comforted the King said，'In truth I have had a dream，which I related to the monks，and they said，'None can expound it to thee save the Wazir Dandan.'
