Ibn Kamal returns from Cairo to congratulate Selim on his ascendance to the thrown and reveals Cairo secrets he has learned in his trip. Selim tries to spread lies across the nation as a means to invade the east as an Islamic conqueror. He moves east and exiles his grandfather from the Emirate of Dhul Qadir and kills him. Sultan Qansuh leads a campaign to confront Selim and leaves Tuman Bay in Cairo. Tuman gets stabbed.

Tuman Bay receives news of Sultan Qansuh's death and the loss endured at Marj Dabeq. Selim easily enters Aleppo. Janbardi pins the defeat on Sultan Qansuh and requests to take over the Sultanate. Tuman refuses to take over the Sultanate due to the betrayal and shameful acts of the Mamluks. He succumbs to the people's wishes after they pledge to stand by him. The Jahardiya urge Selim to carry on towards Cairo.
