From an early age, Mustafa tried to be a worthy son of his father. He walked to power with dignity, without shedding blood on his way. He was loyal to the sovereign to the core, but he could not earn the favor of his father.
As the sovereign once said: "What a pity that innocence passes with youth."
Having matured and received his sanjak in Manisa, the ruler began to see a threat in his son. Hence the constant dreams, as Mustafa comes to him with a sword or an army. Of course, Khyurrem, the Sultan, also helped to muddy the waters.
Before a military campaign against Persia, Suleiman decides to appoint Mustafa as regent of the state, but later learning about his secret Nikakhe with Mikhrinisa, regards this as a betrayal and puts Selim as regent, and Mustafa orders him to sit in his sanjake.
Later, Atmaja learns that an assassination attempt is being prepared in the campaign against the lord. And Mustafa tells about it.
Mustafa has two choices: save his father or rely on fate. But Mustafa, without hesitation, rushes to the aid of his father and keeps up on time.
Having approached the military camp in the tent were the sovereign, Jihangir and two Persian mercenaries, who had already brought their dagger over the sovereign's head. But the brave and noble Mustafa, together with Bayazid and the warriors, broke into the tent and at the last minute rescued the sovereign and Jihangir.
It would seem that the sovereign owes his life to his son, but he was tormented by vague doubts about how Mustafa learned about the attempt.
Having interrogated one of the attackers, the overlord found out that it was the spy of Shah Tahmasp, who was watching every step of Alkas Mirza. But his ultimate mission is to kill Sultan Suleiman.
Shah Tahmaspa knew that Mustafa was against the war that Suleiman started and decided to remove the padishah in this way, and then Mustafa would sit on the throne, who did not pose a threat to Persia.
Mustafa was offended that the sovereign, in order to believe the truth of his son's words, began to interrogate the unfaithful. But, instead of gratitude, the sovereign reminded Mustafa of the secret nickname, saying that his trust was undermined. And he ordered his son to return to his sanjak.
Did Mustafa act right in rushing to save the life of the sovereign? Of course, any loving son, upon learning of the threat, rush to save his father. But if Mustafa had not saved his father, then there is a high probability that he would have sat on the throne and saved the life of his beloved woman and son Mehmed.
