By this time Seif Khan, the Protector, marched to oppose him, and reached the town of Gunpoora without opposition. The Prince, hearing of his advance, sent one of the Naigwaries of Kovilconda to carry on an intrigue at the capital, and to enter into a league with the Naigwary garrison of Golconda to release Jugdew Row from confinement, and bring him to Kovilconda. The Naigwaries were easily gained over: they released Jugdew Row, and proceeded to the palace of Juggut Row (the governor during the Protector's absence), whom they seized and put in irons, in the fort of Golconda. Thence proceeding to the houses of the chief nobles of the young king, Soobhan Koolly's party, they put them to death, and confined him. After these measures they wrote to the Prince Ibrahim of their success, and invited him to the capital. The moment the Protector heard of the failure of his plans for the safety of the capital, he wrote a submissive address to the Prince Ibrahim, begging to receive, under his own signature, a letter of forgiveness. The Prince replied, that he would make no promises until he ascended the throne of his father at Golconda. - [Previous: 118.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.118.3) - [Next: 118.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.118.5) - [Up: 118](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.118) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.118.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.118.4) · Pramāṇa
