History of the Khaljis, A.D. 1290–1320 c5.12

c5.12

Malik Ahmad Chap who was loyal and sincere to a fault could no longer stand the hypocrisy of Fakhruddin and addressed him in very harsh words. But the Sultan silenced him by saying: "I have brought him ('Alāūddin) up in my lap, and he is so much indebted to me that even if my sons go against me he cannot." Nothing could prevent Jalāluddin from adopting a course of action which his love for his nephew dictated. He left Gwalior for Delhi and arrived at Kilughari soon after.
