Story
Kingdom Hearts Union χ
As the ruler of Agrabah, the Sultan reigns over the city with the help of Jafar, his grand vizier. Dreaming of seeing his daughter married, the Sultan invites many princes to the palace in order to court Jasmine. This pressure pushed Jasmine to flee, which allowed her to meet Aladdin in the streets of Agrabah.
One evening, after Jasmine has returned to the palace, the Sultan visits her in her room and finds her crying. Jasmine then informs him that Jafar has arrested and beheaded Aladdin. The next day, in the throne room, the Sultan reprimands Jafar for his actions and orders him not to decide the sentences of the prisoners without his consent, which Jafar approves. The Sultan then tries to reconcile his vizier and his daughter, without much success. Once the discussion is over, the Sultan wishes to discuss suitors again with Jasmine, but she leaves the room without even answering him.
Always dreaming of becoming sultan, Jafar schemes to become Jasmine's husband. He uses his magic staff to hypnotize the Sultan, and convince him to have him wed Jasmine. The Sultan is saved from the grip of Jafar by strong music, and the arrival of Aladdin, disguised as "Prince Ali", who wants to have Jasmine's hand in marriage. The Sultan is overjoyed that "Prince Ali" wants to meet Jasmine, despite Jafar's attempts to convince him otherwise. When Jasmine overhears the discussion between her father, Jafar and "Prince Ali", she gets angry with them, believing they have no right to treat her as a prize. Once the princess leaves, the Sultan leaves the room with "Prince Ali", telling him that he should give Jasmine time to calm down before meeting her privately.
