Osmani was quite enjoying herself. As the film played out, it was quite clear that the Caliph of Islam was planning to take this opportunity to indulge in all the luxuries she could get away with. She has seated some distance away, with enough space to accommodate a personal array of tables, with only the finest of Turkish sweets and drinks, bowls of iced sherbet and Kemal Pasha, with her faithful man-servant Armenia tending to her when her pipe required a refill of tobacco. While she may have been invited to bond with her newfound allies, it was clear she was more interested in her hedonism than to bridge any troubles they may have had. 

As the film came to its end, Osmani stood herself up and stretched loudly as Armenian quickly took to carrying out her garbage and disposing of it, dashing in and out and making sure to avoid bumping into his mistress. Osmani exchanged a look at the other two girls with her, Erika and Austria, smiling at them half-heartedly as she spoke between sips of her coffee.

She was being haughty as always, but it was clear that there were advantages to her joining the Central Powers. It was not long ago that Britain had come to control Egypt and Sudan, something that was a great dishonor to her. And with Russia joining the Entante, her greatest enemies were all joining as one. Normally, Osmani would not be able to handle herself, but Austria and Germany were strong, and maybe, with the help of former enemies, she could get back the upperhand that she had lost in Europe.

As well, a chance to humiliate Serbia, the petulant brat, would be a great bonus.

But, she couldn't let them know she was in need of their alliance. The Sultan had to keep up her air of superiority.
