"Cassim is its father."
"Yes, but he did lie and decive you, Your Majesty."
"I do not hold that against him. I know and understand why he did. Personally, I have forgiven him. I would have done the same. We should let him be here for the baby and Carina. She is his wife and one true love."
"He's dangerous."
"He has since proven otherwise."
"Your Majesty, I don't think it's a good idea to let the King of Thieves return. Even if it is for a limited time."
One of the other court members spoke up.
"I think that we should allow Cassim to come back a few days before the baby is expected then have him leave the morning after its born. That way he is here when it's born and is able to see it before he leaves again."
"Carina, Aladdin, and Jasmine will fight for more time."
"What do you suggest, Your Majesty?"
"I suggest that we bring Cassim back now and let him stay until a week after the baby is born."
"But won't it be harder for him to leave then?"
"That's a very good point. Perhaps we should have him leave the morning after its born. It would give him plenty of time to be with Carina and Aladdin, and he would have time to get to know Jasmine better. It's only right that he knows his daughter-in-law better. Also he deserves to have more time with his wife and son."
"I like that idea, Your Majesty."
"Very well. All in favor say 'I.'"
"I." said most of the court members except for a few.
"Why do you oppose it?"
"With all due respect Your Masjesty, that would also give him plenty of time to learn the best ways to steal the oracle again."
"From what I heard Cassim has given up his life as a thief and is reddeeming himself. THe majority approved it. I'll have Aladdin sernd Carpet to get Cassim right away."
Carina hurried back to her room, overjoyed at what was going to happen.
