there is no fucking way Iblees is responsible for all of this. nobody can convince me the traitorous two faced bitch isn't Hazan. Think about it. He's friends with Kamran and basically a friend to Alizeh because he's serving her, but he doesn't tell Alizeh what she wants to know when she needs to know and refuses to communicate to Kamran about why he acts like he's holding a secret from him. He's dissatisfying both of the main characters, and in Iblees' poem he says " Two have a friend who is foe to all". Two people!! have the same friend!! who do they both have in common? Hazan! The devil didn't even visit Kamran once or talk to him at all, while Alizeh gets a visit from him once a month, so it can't be him. and in the poem Iblees also says "Always the jester will interfere, for there cannot be three sovereigns here." Imho the jester symbolises the man who is subject to service of the royal, aka Kamran and Alizeh. He is serving Alizeh to help her escape and he is serving Kamran as his minister. He was trying to get Alizeh out of the castle to escape, but didn't even tell her what she needed to know. Hazan walked off with Kamran before Alizeh could get Hazan alone after he discovered her and Kamran together and alone. bam. It's Hazan, not Iblees. I will not believe any other opinions respectfully.
