"Can we stay together whole day today? I really miss you every time you aren't next to me," I said to Iskender as we woke up in the morning and I didn't want to let him out of the cuddle.

"You know I would stay with you the whole day if I didn't have the Divan today. I must do something for the state, but then I will return later to you my love," he kissed my forehead and wanted to get out of the bed but still like the child I made a sad face. I really wanted to be always in his presence especially since I was in the last months of my pregnancy.

"I will miss you until I see you again," I said to him as I was really emotional during my pregnancy which was really exhausting.

"Then you can stay in those chambers while you wish to see me again, until I return," he said to me.

"I can't, what if someone comes? Those are your private and working chambers," I said to him.

"What is mine is yours," he said as he kissed my cheek and quickly dressed up and left to the Divan which he had to held today.

Even though he said to me to stay in those chambers I couldn't be here all alone the whole day as I loved spending my time around the palace. I quickly got bored since I had no one in this palace to spend the time with beside Iskender, and Meleki who was with me almost the whole time.

I knew the birth would arrive soon and that I shouldn't go around too much, but I couldn't help myself. I dressed up myself and with Meleki I left to the harem since I wanted to know what has been happening here.

I arrived in harem where everyone was standing around young woman, which was younger than me, and was dressed like she was a Sultana. I had never seen this woman in my entire life and I had no idea who she was.

"What disrespect is this Bezmialem Hatun not to bow to a Sultana?" Sureyya said to me loudly so everyone in the harem could hear, and that woman she addressed with Sultana raised her head and looked at me.

"Well Sureyya I do not know who the Sultana is," I said as I walked closer to them and had no idea who she was. I knew Humasah was only Iskender's sister from the same mother and Safiye didn't usually call other Sultanas into this palace since she wanted to be the one with the highest power. Meleki bowed to her and all the other maids.

"I am Ayse Sultan, daughter of Kosem Sultan and Sultan Ahmed Khan. Know how to respect me and how to behave in front of me," she hissed at me and then I finally knew who she was. I gave her a little bow not to be that much disrespectful but I didn't know how a young girl her age already behaved like this in harem.

"I didn't know you, I apologise for that," I said as everyone was around and could hear what I was saying and I didn't want more drama to happen since everything seemed to me that the problems in harem have just started.

"Well you will now, and you will always treat me with the respect because from now on I will live here in Palace where I belong, not in the Old Palace where your Sultan has locked my mother," she yelled on me.

"I understand you are frustrated but that has nothing to do with me," I said to her as I didn't know why she would put all of her anger on me if she was angry on Iskender and Safiye.

"I am here for two hours and only things I hear about are bad. You behave like you are already Sultana and you showed me this with your disrespectful behaviour towards me. Look how all other girls are in bad condition just because of you," she hissed at me once again and I didn't know why she was preoccupied with harem when she had more problems since her brothers were locked here.

"Well I don't know what it has to do with you, Sultanim. There is no need for those scandals inside of harem and if you want to speak with me about something we can do it somewhere more private," I said as I was really calm on this subject as I knew she was just kid who was frustrated because she was separated from her brothers and it was easiest for her to put all of her anger on me.

"Do not raise yourself into the skies and think you are someone special to Sultan when his heart belongs to my mother Kosem Sultan," she said and at that moment I felt something so weird around my heart as I couldn't believe what she has said. I knew I should see with Meleki about this topic but I had no idea about this and especially because of that I had to stay calm.

"If it belongs to your mother then why is she locked in the Old Palace and I am here?" I fake smiled even though inside myself I was really hurt with this fact and couldn't stay stable for a long time if I wouldn't know the truth.

I just turned around and walked away back from harem. I dismissed the maids which were walking behind me and stayed only with Meleki.

"What is she talking about?" I asked her as we arrived to the part of palace where no one could hear us. I didn't even want to show my worries to Meleki but I was worried so much about what she has said.

"Bezmialem Hatun... I don't know how to say it to you," Meleki said and looked down at the floor ashamed. I knew the things weren't good when she behaved like this.

"Just tell me," I hissed at her.

"Sultan Ibrahim fell in love with Kosem Sultana when she arrived here while he still didn't know he was a prince. He loved her for so many years..." Meleki started to say and my heart was breaking into million of pieces even though I knew this was all the way before I came, but it still hurt me how I had no idea about this.

"Bezmialem Hatun but he loves only you now, he forget about her... She is his enemy," Meleki started to say but I didn't want to listen to this anymore. I walked away to my chambers fastly as I didn't want even her to follow me.

I locked myself into my chambers and started crying. Iskender always told me I was his first love and he never loved anyone like he loves me, but it showed that he loved Kosem for years and I had no idea about that. I had no idea about them even ever being good and this surprised me so much.

I felt so bad and I started to preoccupy myself with the thoughts if Iskender ever has stopped to love her. Had he found in me only a person who would help him to forget about Kosem because she could never be with him, because she had children with Ahmed.

I didn't know what to think anymore but what I knew was that I felt hurt because Iskender wanted us always to tell the truth one to another and he hid from me something that was really important. I knew he never had anything with her and the love wasn't returned, but fears started going into my head and I didn't want to lose Iskender.
