Her name is Shahrazad, and her idea is, to either save the land and the people of the king's vow, or perish in the attempt. She defies her father, the grand vizier, who doesn't want her to die, and asks him to make an offer to the king of her hand. The king eagerly accepts but, makes sure all parties understand that, he intends to fulfill his vow of killing his bride in the morning.

The grand vizier is sure that his daughter is going to die but the clever Shahrazad has a very ingenious plan in her mind. On the night of the wedding, she asks that her sister be allowed to come and say goodbye. After they consummated the marriage, Shahrazad's sister asks her to tell a story so the night could pass faster. With king's permission Shahrazad begins telling her first story.
