You feared day and night that you would recieve a letter from Ganzafer Paşa saying that Sultan Mehmed had died. You feared for the life of Sultan Mehmed. If he did die, your son would be the next Sultan. But Murad wasn't old enough to be one. Today was the last day of battle. The outcome of the battle was and obvious one. The Ottomans won, the Serbians lost. The Ottoman Army was gathering the dead bodies of their lost Soldiers. As one of the Soldier was dragging away the body of another one, he noticed the Sultan lying heavily injured.*
