"Sultanim, Ibrahim Pasha wants to meet you," Saliha said to me and I gave Murad in her hands as I couldn't wait anymore to see my brother after those five months have passed. Yesterday he went immediately to Hatice as I knew he misses her and their child.

"Brother," I said as I hugged Ibrahim in his chambers. Life only separated us always, first in our childhood and now when he's always going to a war but thankfully each time Ibrahim returns healthy and alive what is the most important.

"Dilruba, my sister! You can't imagine how happy I was when I found out I will be uncle, I hope to see Prince Murad very soon," Ibrahim said happily.

"Of course you will be able to meet him very soon," I said and smiled as we sat on the sofa in his chambers but his happiness changed quickly as he seemed he has something very important to tell me.

"I heard you fight with Mahidevran, she came here to complain to me," Ibrahim said seriously and I couldn't believe how Mahidevran could run immediately to him the first day to tell about everything that happened because he was only one she trusted and she was afraid she could lose his support.

"I see she tells you everything," I said.

"You shouldn't fight with her. I swore to my loyality to prince Mustafa and I will do whatever is needed for his success. I don't want you to be good with Mahidevran but at least respect her as you do Hurrem," Ibrahim said and I couldn't believe he still talks to me how I should also support Mustafa when I have my own son. They all acted like the battle for the throne has begun and not that Suleiman is healthy and alive. I didn't look at the children that way because Mustafa, Mehmed, Mihrimah and Murad were all Ottoman jewels and they were precious and no one should use them for their political influence. What I talked to Mahidevran was needed to bring her down on the Earth.

"I am not like that Ibrahim to look at the children only for political influence as everyone else should. But the thing I said was needed to be said to bring Mahidevran down to Earth as she already now thinks she is Valide Sultan to Mustafa," I said to him hoping he could understand what I meant, but I think he didn't.

"Because one day she will be when Mustafa ascends the throne," Ibrahim said to me seriously and I laughed as I had nothing else to say.

"The throne for those children are far away. I don't want to listen to this while Suleiman is healthy and alive. But there is one thing I want to know from you Ibrahim," I said to him and he nodded to ask him.

"You still would support Mustafa one day and not your sister's son?" I said to him as I got up and saw the actual worry in his eyes. Like he has never even thought about it which disappointed me how he never looked at us his closest ones in this.

"Of course, I would support your son no matter what," Ibrahim said as he stood up and looked at me but I saw this is the first time he actually started to realise the seriousness about his support towards Mustafa.

"If it's like that then you shouldn't mix anymore into the Harem things Mahidevran says to you because both Hurrem, Mahidevran and I are Suleiman's consorts and mothers of his sons and there should be no need you fill Mahidevran's head with hopes for Mustafa. Let everyone live in normal without fight beginning now when it's not necessary," I said and left his chambers totally disappointed with my brother's way of thinking how he was Suleiman's best friend but still had dreams about Mustafa on the throne.

I was walking my way back to the Harem when I saw women voices fighting in the corner of the hallway. I couldn't stop myself not to listen and then intevent if it was necessary.

"Hurrem Sultan, I swear to you I haven't spent a night with our Sultan," blonde woman which I have never saw in my life said trying to defend herself from Hurrem which was angry looking at her.

"Don't you lie, he bring you with himself from the campagin, you slept with him there and now you think you will be welcomed here?" Hurrem yelled on her and obviously whole hallway heard her. I don't know how she could yell like this on someone but the fact that she accused someone of sleeping with Suleiman also got me afraid because what if that was actual truth.

I showed a sign to Saliha who was standing behind me to be silent to let them not hear us because then all of Hurrem's anger would be turn on me and she already hated me from stealing last night from her.

"Sultanim, I swear to you with my life and with life of my family I have never slept with Sultan! Ibrahim Pasha took me here to serve his family! I didn't sleep with Sultan!" Poor young blonde girl said to Hurrem as she couldn't stop crying from fear, but Hurrem couldn't stop yelling. The story about Ibrahim bringing here was weird also to me and I understood why Hurrem was afraid but I would never behave like she does.

"I will cut of your tongue if you say any more word, I will kill you right now!" Hurrem yelled on her and I knew I had to do something to stop her.

"Hurrem, stop it you can't threat people on the corners of Harem like this and yell on them that you will kill them. Is it appropriate for Sultan's favourite and mother of a Prince?" I said to her and she seemed to actually be afraid when she saw me there and knew I heard everything she has said.

"Dilruba don't mix into this," Hurrem yelled on me back looking at that poor young blonde concubine who looked at me and literally said 'help me please'.

"Hatun, go to the Harem. And Hurrem we have to talk," I said and blonde concubine bowed to me and left running to not look at Hurrem anymore.

"What do you have to do always? You always come and destroy something? I could have heard the real truth what happened here and now you are destroying it like you have stolen last night from me," Hurrem yelled with putting all of her anger towards me, but I knew that would happen because she hated me a lot no matter how good I tried to be towards her.

"Woman said you the truth, Ibrahim took her here he said that to me and there is no reason you can yell at the concubines and blaming them for something even though you are a Sultana. Learn how to behave you have no idea how whole Harem would gossip you if they would hear about this and pray this girl doesn't tell that to whole Harem," I said and lied that Ibrahim took her to actually stop Hurrem from doing anything that was not necessary. I was afraid if she would actually do anything to that concubine.
