I was sitting in my chambers looking at my lion Murad which was peacefully sleeping. I just finished breastfeeding Handan and putted her to sleep in the cradle next to my Murad.

They were sleeping like two angels together. I felt so sorry for poor baby Handan because Defne didn't want her. Bayezid and Hurrem allowed me to take care of her and keep her in my chambers.

It was obvious Defne has serious problems. She didn't even once want to see her child. I really wanted to know what happened to her that she really doesn't want to see her child.

Why did it matter so much to her that it was a daughter not a son? Hurrem Sultana also gave a birth to a daughter, Mihrimah Sultana, which is now the most precious what Sultan Suleyman has and his favourite child.

Bayezid decided its best to send Defne away from Palace. Of course everyone was sorry for Defne, but she tried to do only bad for everyone around her. She wasn't mentally stable to stay here.

Once the nurses went to Defne and ask her if she wants to see Handan, she started thretening them that she will kill them if they once again ask her that.

Bayezid sent her to Edirne Palace to keep her away so she couldn't do any bad to anyone in this Palace.

I was really sorry for Defne because we all knew she was bad, but maybe he did right decision. This way she would only hurt everyone around her.

I decided I will accept Handan as my own daughter and won't make any difference between her and my Murad.

While I was looking at Murad and Handan sleeping peacefully like angels, Bayezid came to my chambers.

He came in silently so he couldnt wake the children up. He came closer to them. First he kissed Murad, and then Handan.

Then he came to me and hugged me and kissed my forehead. Whatever happened between us I forgot as we have to stay togethet in this. And we must be strong together.

He sat on the couch and I sat next to him.

- My beautiful Aslihan. You are like angel on Earth. God sent you directly to me because I needed someone like you next to me. You are so pure. You dont have anything bad in yourself. - he said as he was playing with my hair. He made me blushed.

- Bayezid, I did what was important. If I am able to breastfeed her and take care of her, of course I would do it rather than give her to some Kalfa to take care of her. - I smiled to him.

- I think none woman would do the same, as the child was from their enemy, if I could say like that. - he said.

- No matter what, the child is innocent. Handan doesn't deserve anything bad because of her mother's bad things. - I told him.

- Maybe I am also wrong because I didn't react on her for poisoning her, but I would punish her when she gives a birth. Now even worser came to her. - he said and sighed.

I putted my hand on his leg and came closer to him in hug.

- Bayezid, I want to ask you something. - I said to him looking at his eyes directly.

- Ask me. - he said and smiled.
- I saw new Greek concubines came for you. - I told him and looked at the floor, looking very sadly.

- I know, they must send concubines in Prince's harems. - he said to me.

- I know I can't gift you with any more children, will you forget me because of that? - I asked him sadly. That was the thing I was really afraid of. What if he will find some concubine which will give him a lot of children and he will forget about me then?

- My Aslihan, my beauty. Between thousand of women, I would look only at you. You gave me son. What can more I ask from you? I dont want any other woman than you. My heart belongs only to you. - he said and kissed me gentley.

- I know you must have another concubines. And you should have more sons to be sure for your heirs. I can't do anything about it, I only want good for you. I can't mind if you have children with any another woman, but I dont want you to love any other woman. - I told him still being sad about everything.

- While you are next to me, I can't even look at another woman. I dont want to have children with any else woman. We have our lion Murad. He is my heir. - he said and kissed me again gently.

We were sitting on the couch hugged. I enjoyed those moments spent with him. This was everything that mattered to me. Being happy and being with him. While I was next to him, I felt so secure.

- Soon we will have to go to Istanbul. Our father called us and Selim to come there. - Bayezid said.

- Why? - I asked him because I didn't know why its about.

- I have no idea, but you will go with me. Valide will also go with us. - he said to me.

- I hope I won't need to see Nurbanu there. - I told him as I really didn't want to see Nurbanu anymore.

- She isnt banished anymore. Father forgot her because she has three daughters and a son with Selim. But I heard there is drama, because Selim's another concubine is pregnant. - he told me.

- I don't know why he forgot her. Nurbanu is going to be crazy now. - I told him and laughed.

- We must get rid of Selim as soon as possible. I am ready to do whatever it takes. I will risk everything, but I need to get rid of him. - Bayezid told me very seriously.

- I know he is your brother, but you are right. Bayezid, we need to make sure the throne is ready for you, not for Selim. We must get rid of him as soon as possible. - I told him and he smiled to me.

- Will you be with me in this? Even though this may lead us all to death? - he asked me.

- I will be always with you and by your side even if it will bring me to death. - I told him and kissed him.
