The Mandate Has Changed

"Call no man happy till he is dead."

-        Aeschylus

Now it is the time for Candarli Halil Pasha to go.

Things were alright initially when the Grand Vizier returned to his estate as if nothing has happened to him. Just like a normal person, energetic like before totally unlike a man of his age waking up earlier than others, then handle state and court affairs until the sun sets. The bruise on his head is also showing signs of healing with the bleeding stopping in a few hours, and by the next day only a minute scar that looks like an earth worm can be spotted. 

The Grand Vizier do not mind that scar by a bit, he has went through way too many battles in his life and because of that he has already developed way too many scars on almost every single part of his body. He would not mind having another one on his face adding another mark of glory to him. 

However, after two days, the Grand Vizier found out that some thing, is not right.
