- Valide, good morning! - somebody's voice woke me up. I slept really long today. I opened the eyes and saw my lion Murad coming into my chambers.

- Murad, my love! Good morning! - I said to him as I came to him and gave him soft hug. I took his hand and went to the terrace of my chambers to sit on sofa together with him.

- Valide, since Sultan sent me doctor Ahmed, I've been feeling better. I can breathe normally now. - Murad told me proudly. I was so happy like I was never before.

- Thank to God, Murad. I promised you everything is going to be fine. Now you will grow as strong and healthy prince. - I said to him as I kissed his forehead.

- Valide, when will we return to Kutahya? - he asked me with a sad tone of voice.

- You don't like it in Istanbul? - I asked him because I wondered why he does want to return to Kutahya.

- No, in Kutahya everyone in harem was playing with me. Here no one does. - he said sadly as he crossed his hands.

- You can always play with Handan or one of your brothers. - I said to him trying to comfort him.

At that moment, Bulbul-aga came to my chambers. I signalised to Meryem to took Murad by the side because I didn't want him to hear what Bulbul has to tell me.

- Sultana, our Sultan decided Mihrimah Sultana will rule harem from now on. Hurrem Sultana was banished from Palace and she is sent to Amasya. - Bulbul said to me with a smile.

- Oh, Bulbul, finally good news. Hurrem got what she deserved. - I said as I sighed.

- Now everything is like we planned. Now your only left enemy is Rana. - Bulbul said to me with a smile.

- I wish it is like that, but Hurrem is still my enemy. Until she is alive, I must be careful. She still has people in harem who are loyal to her. - I said as I sighed.

- We must be careful about Sumbul-aga, I am sure he is still by Hurrem Sultana's side. - Bulbul said to me.

- He loves Mihrimah and he will be by her side. - I said to him.

At that moment, Mihrimah entered my chambers. I stood up and bowed to her to show her my respect for her.

She sat on my couch and she showed me to sit next to her. She seemed really happy.

- Sultana, I want to congradulate you for your position. You deserved it. - I said to her with a smile because I was really happy for her.

- Thank you Aslihan, I am happy too. Now I must get rid of everyone who still serves my mother. It is hard for me because I love her, but I won't let her do whatever she wants to. - she said and her smile left her face.

I knew it was really hard for her, because she loved Hurrem really a lot. She always defended Hurrem, but this time she decided she won't do it anymore, and she was right about it.

- I know its hard for you Sultana, at the end, she is still your mother. - I said to her showing her I totally understand her.

- My father Sultan Suleyman called Selim's daughters Ismihan, Gevherhan and Şah Sultan to come to live to Palace. - Mihrimah said as she didn't want to talk about her mother anymore.

- That's nice from him, at the end, they are Sultanas and they deserve to live here in the Palace. - I said to her with a fake smile. I knew as they are Nurbanu's daughters they will be against me for sure, because I am one of the main reasons their parents got killed.

- They may not be nice to you Aslihan, you know they suffered a lot, but I will do whatever is important to change their opinion towards you. - Mihrimah told me with a smile which made me felt a bit more easy.

- Also, as I will be living in Valide Sultan Chambers now, I want to give you my old chambers. They are lot of bigger than yours and I hope you will enjoy them. - Mihrimah told me with a smile.

- Thank you Sultana so much. - I smiled at her.

Few days later, Selim's daughters arrived at the Palace. They were triplets, and they were really similiar.

We welcomed them in Gardens. Sultan Suleyman was really happy to see his grand daughters after so many time passed. I've never seen those Sultanas, and only thing I knew that from now on I have to be careful even more.

I will do whatever is important to keep good relations with them, as I didn't need bad relations anymore.

- My grand daughters! Welcome! I've missed you so much! - Sultan Suleyman said as they kissed his hand one by one.

- We are very glad to come to Istanbul finally. It has been hard for us in Sanjak. - Ismihan, the eldest one of the triplets said. She tried to show her grand father with her words how hard it has been for them.

- My beautiful girls, now you are finally where you deserve to be. - Mihrimah said as they kissed her hand one by one while she was smiling to them.

- We are happy to be finally with our family, as we lost our parents, it has been hard for us, but we've been together in this. - Gevherhan, the second one, said to Mihrimah.

- Welcome, girls. I hope you will like it here in the Palace. - Bayezid said to them. No matter what they were Selim's children, Bayezid loved them because they were his nieces, and they loved him also.

- Thank you uncle Bayezid, we are finally happy to see you! - Şah, the youngest one said to him giving him a huge smile.

They all looked at me with kind of anger in his eyes, but I didn't do anything much about that. I smiled to them and said nothing else, because any word could even make those relations worser and worser.
