Plot Summary

Muhsin Çelebi, wearing the "pink pearl kaftan" he had purchased with his own fortune for the sake of his country, stood before the Safavid Shah Ismail as a proud diplomatic envoy and carried out the gesture he had proudly conceived to deliver the decree he had sent with dignity, neither kneeling nor bowing his head. Despite Shah Ismail's intrigues, Muhsin Çelebi preserves the Ottoman Empire's prestige with his honorable demeanor, laying the kaftan on the ground, and completes his mission.
