Na Valáquia, um homem que assinava como Wladislaus Dragwlya foi aclamado pelo papa e por metade da Cristandade pelas suas vitórias contra Mehmed II em 1459 e 1462. Este líder cristão vivera em rapaz na corte otomana como refém enviado pelo pai, juntamente com o irmão mais novo. O irmão convertera-se ao Islão e servira os Otomanos; o mais velho aprendera o Corão e turco, mas virara-se contra o Islão. Mais conhecido hoje como Drácula, ou Vlad, o Empalador, revelou-se um tremendo combatente de guerrilha e uniu a Transilvânia contra os invasores, sobrevivendo ao cativeiro na Hungria antes de morrer em batalha na Roménia em 1467. No entanto, o seu deleite em executar prisioneiros, criminosos e rivais por empalação abalou-lhe a popularidade. A dado momento, Drácula tinha expostos em torno da sua capital 20 mil inimigos moribundos e mortos, varados pelo ânus com estacas afiadas. Os boiardos, príncipes locais, começaram a sentir que uma ocupação muçulmana relativamente humana talvez fosse preferível a uma liberdade cristã paranoica e sádica.

- Ez elképesztő, apukám! Mégis ki ad ilyesmit ajándékba? Mehmed nem kívánta tovább kínozni a fiát, ezért megadta neki a megfelelő útbaigazítást. - Már nálad van a kulcs, miért nem nyitod ki, hogy megkapd a választ ? Ültében előre hajolva Szejit becsúsztatta a remegő ujjai közé szorított kulcsot a zárba. Amint elfordította, a bronzkakas hirtelen pörögni kezdett a tengelye körül, és pörgés közben egy élő kakast is megszégyenítő kukorékolást hallatott. Három forgás után a madár visszaült az ágra és elcsendesedett. Az ezt követő kattanás jelezte, hogy a zár már nyitva van. Édesapja óvatosan felnyitotta és kitámasztotta a fedelet, mire Szejit észrevette a belső oldalra írt szöveget. Kis híján felsikoltott volna örömében, ha nem tapasztja be rögtön a száját a kezével. A sok szimbólum és pecsét között ott tündökölt II. Miklós cár bronzzal ékesített, egészséget és sikert kívánó szavai.
