Following Sultan Murad's unexpected death, the Ottoman palace mourns and a new era begins. The question arises: will Mehmed or Orhan ascend to the throne? Despite İshak's opposition, Çandarlı supports Mehmed's succession, fearing unfortunate consequences.
Sultan Mehmed crushed a Janissary rebellion, executing Ali Haydar and his followers. He then sent Battal and Bali Bey to eliminate bandits, capturing Ferhat’s chamberlain, Beşir, and questioning Ferhat Pasha's loyalty.
Lowlights
Mehmed, having left the throne to his father Murad, returns to Saruhan to address local issues, including pirates obstructing trade. Solving this would fulfill the people's wishes and address a personal problem for Mehmed.
