Returning unexpectedly early, he caught his beloved wife in bed with servants. Enraged, he beheaded them on the spot and made for the estate of his brother, who was away at the time. He decided to stay in one of the outhouse guestrooms. Here lay his next staggering revelation: past midnight, he started to hear music from the gardens and open windows. Exploring, he was shocked beyond belief to find his brother\u2019s wife among a small crowd of figures, also in the embrace of another man.<\/p>\n<p>Stunned by the turn of events, he returned to court blinded with a desire for revenge. Engrossed in feelings of betrayal and rage, he vowed to take revenge on all womankind by beginning a monstrous tradition: he would take a new virgin wife every night, only to behead her the following morning, so as to not allow her the opportunity to cheat.<\/p>\n<p>In the sultan\u2019s madness, the kingdom slowly became a hostile place for all young women. Families fled elsewhere with their daughters as the sultan continued with his rage-filled murder. Sick with worry, the sultan\u2019s vizier urged his daughters to leave. He had to stay in the capital and fulfil his duties, but his two daughters, Scheherazade and Dunyazad, could flee. However, Scheherazade refuses to leave \u2013 and instead insists on becoming the sultan\u2019s next bride.<\/p>\n<p>After many attempts to try and make her see her folly, and much to the vizier\u2019s dismay, Scheherazade and the sultan were married. On Scheherazade\u2019s wedding night, as a last wish, she begged for her sister\u2019s company. Dunyazad joined them and requested one last tale from her sister. With the sultan\u2019s approval, Scheherazade started her very first story. So captivating and mesmerizing were her charm and her storytelling capabilities, it was almost dawn before anyone realized. Clever Scheherazade ended the night\u2019s storytelling on a captivating turn, leaving her audience on edge, wanting more. The sultan was so engrossed in Scheherazade\u2019s story that \u2013 to everybody\u2019s surprise \u2013 he allowed her to live one extra night to finish it.<br \/>\nOf course, the following night she finished the first story \u2013 and began another one. She continued this night after night, always ending on a tantalizing twist. Scheherazade continued telling her tales for a thousand and one nights, and in that time the sultan slowly started to fall for her beauty, charm and intelligence. He eventually saw the error of his ways and the injustices he\u2019d wrought. Professing his true love for Scheherazade, they finally began a life together. The blood lust stopped, and peace was restored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3424,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"product_cat":[89,46],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-1168","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","product_cat-musicals","product_cat-all-titles"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Scheherazade and the 1,001 Night Stands \u2013 \u00a0 Coming Soon!
