The Sultan’s Test: Between Empire and Son
Episode 51 begins with Sultan Mehmed standing at a painful crossroads — the destiny of his empire or the future of his son.
Karamanid Sultan İbrahim’s envoy, Ayvaz Bey, arrives at the Ottoman court demanding Prince Bayezid’s surrender under the pretext of avenging Julia’s death. Refusal, he warns, means war.
Bayezid, torn between loyalty and pride, disobeys his father’s command and leaves his post — a bold act that sends shockwaves through the palace and among the people. Sultan Mehmed, resolute yet torn, has his son captured and brought to trial before the imperial divan.
What will be Bayezid’s fate? Justice or mercy?
Shadows of Treason: The Pontus Alliance
While the Ottoman court faces turmoil, a darker storm brews beyond its walls.
The Pontus Emperor David Komnenos and Pedri forge a secret pact with Karaman, using Julia’s death as a spark to ignite rebellion among Turkmen beyliks.
Their ambition is clear — to destabilize the empire from within and reclaim lost Byzantine influence along the Black Sea.
As Ottoman generals move swiftly to quell these uprisings, Mehmed’s gaze turns toward a deeper mystery — the reappearance of a sacred icon hidden in the depths of Hagia Sophia.
This discovery carries not only spiritual meaning but also political power, capable of shaping the fate of empires.
Quest for the Sacred Icon
Determined to uncover the truth, Sultan Mehmed dispatches Vlad and the Karatuğ brothers on a perilous mission to Pontus. Their goal: retrieve the sacred relic before it falls into enemy hands.
This subplot promises breathtaking visuals and an air of divine mysticism — merging Ottoman ambition with Byzantine legends buried beneath Hagia Sophia’s stones.
