Everything was ready in harem for ceremony of mine and Bayezid's wedding. I never though I will be able to marry him, as he was still a Prince, and he was married once before to Huricihan, which died.

I was really afraid if Suleyman really allowed it, but he sent his letter with his seal on it. Even Mihrimah sent me a letter to congradulate me for our marriage, so we knew he really allowed it.

It was weird for me how did Sultan allow it so easily, but I didn't want to think more about that. I knew Sultan appericates that I lead Bayezid on good way and that may be one of reasons why. At the end, Bayezid was his only son and only one who could ascend the Ottoman throne.

At least Suleyman always listened to his heart. He broke the rule which was going on for centuries, freed Hurrem Sultana from slavery and married her legally. He was the first Sultan to marry with a woman which was a slave before.

I got dressed in the most beautiful dress I had. I ordered the maids to made it specially for this day. It was glamurous red dress which took breaths for everyone. My maids were delighted with the luxuries of my dress.

My dress took breaths from everyone, and even from me. I never thought its able to make a dress this beautiful. They were saying even most powerful Sultanas would be jealous when they would see it.

I putted on ruby necklace which Bayezid gifted to me when I gave birth to our first son, my lion Murad.

I was all ready and I went to Bayezid's chambers. First, I had to go through the harem where all the maids were looking at me. They were all fascinated by my dress and they all bowed to me to show me respect, because they know after this day, none of them can be equal to me.

Rana was also there with another maids looking at me jealousy. She should have been happier that she is not punished. But today, on day of our marriage, I won't think anymore about people who are not important to me.

Meryem was standing in Harem together with my children. I took my triplets and kissed each one of them. Then I kissed my Murad, and went to Handan.

- Valide, you look so beautiful! - she said to me while I gave her a kiss. Her calling me Valide, mother, made my heart even more warm.

Then, together with Bulbul-aga, I went to Bayezid's chambers. For the last time I will go this way as his concubine, every time later, I will come here as main, Haseki Sultana, and his legal wife.

Before enetering the Bayezid's chambers, Cevri Kalfa ran to me with a letter. I stopped a second to wait for her to give me that letter.

- Sultana, Hurrem Sultana sends you this! - Cevri said to me as she was tired of running through the whole Palace to find me. I took the letter from her hands and started reading it.

Congradulations Aslihan
You did everything to get heart of Bayezid, so you even made him marry you. You are doing the same thing which was one of main reasons of death of Selim and Nurbanu. You are playing with fire again.
I dont know what power are you using against my son, but one day he will realise what kind of snake are you.
If you stayed loyal to me, I would be happy for you this day.
I hope a title of Haseki Sultana won't let you think you are the most powerful, because I am still here as his Valide Sultan.
I will revenge my son Selim, and you are the first one I will remove from Bayezid, because its all your fault. I will take from you what was mine. You will return me, and I won't care if you will want to.
Hurrem Haseki Sultan

- Sultana, is it something bad? - Bulbul asked me scared for what is written in the letter.

- Nope, again Hurrem Sultana threatening me. But I don't care anymore. You can burn this letter, I won't need it. - I said and passed him the letter. I didn't knew what she meant when she said I will have to return to her what is hers, but I couldn't care less about that. Hurrem's words meant nothing to me. She already saw she can't catch up with me, and from now on she won't be able to do it even more.

No one could make me feel bad this day, because this was meant to be happiest day of my life. And it will be. Hurrem Sultana won't be able to do anything against me now.

Aghas opened the doors of Bayezid's chambers and I came inside. He removed the red veil from my face and looked me with biggest possible smile.

He gave me a soft kiss, it was the most beautiful kiss in my life. He took my hand gentley, and got me to his terrace.

We looked at our wedding happening in front of our eyes. I was never happier in my life than I am today.

- Aslihan Haseki Sultan. From now on, you are my legal wife. And no one can separate us, until the death. - Bayezid said as he looked at me with a smile. I still had my hand on his hand.

I turned to him and looked at him happily. Tears from happines started going down my face.

- Why are you crying? - Bayezid asked me.
- I am crying from happines, no one made me happy in my life as you made me today. - I said to him and kissed him passionatley, like I had never before.

Bayezid took something from the box that was standing on the table of his terrace. The box was really beautiful and I really wondered what is inside.

- This is the box that my father made for my mother, Hurrem Sultan. This is the ring only powerful Sultanas can have. When father was mad on my mother, he took it from her. Together with letter, he sent me this, and now I am giving it to you. - he said to me happily as he opened the box. Inside was beautiful emerald ring that I always seen on Hurrem Sultana. She was always proud on it, and now, she stayed without it.

Bayezid took my hand gentley, and putted the emeral ring on my hand. It was the most beautiful ring I have ever seen in my life. This made me cry from happines even more.

- My Haseki, my Aslihan Haseki. My most precious. - he said and kissed my forehead.

Now I knew what Hurrem meant when she said I will have to return her what is hers. She lost the ring which was a sign of powerful Sultanate. Now it was mine.

From a russian merchant, Nadia Tofolpogova, working on a market, I came to Ottoman Palace and I became Aslihan Haseki Sultana, legal wife of Prince Bayezid and mother of his three sons. From this day, no one will be able to stop me.
