Someone splash water on my face and I jerked up. Am I back to Rome? Sadly no.
I was in a dark box cell with three guards, that short legs and Mehmed glaring at me. โI'll ask you one last time. Who. Send. You.โ He gritted out.
โNo one send me. I'm not from here. I don't know how I end up here. Please let me go.โ I pleaded him, slowly his glare turn into a frown and I nearly thought he gave in. Keyword : nearly.
โNo.โ He said as he motioned his guards to untie him. โYou'll stay with me. Here.โ he said.
If he thought I didn't knew the Harem rules then he's wrong. I read all the books about the Ottomans. I clearly knew what it was.
โI'm a free woman. You can't keep me in the Harem.โ I said smirking as I danced inside. But did I really want to go back? Of course. Didn't you said you wanted to save him?
He smirked at me this time. โWho said your going to stay in the Harem.โ
I looked at him confused. Now what is he going to do. โThen where?โ
โIn my chamber.โ He said and my eyes nearly fell out of my socket while the guards gasped at him horrified.
โลehzade, it's-โ one of the guards tried to convince him but he raised his hand stopping them.
โI'm a ลehzade of the Osman dynasty. Do you think I'm not capable of saving myself.โ He said his eyes still on mine.
โForgive me, His highness. I didn't mean that.โ the guard said before two step back.
โSumbul agha, take her to Firuze Kalfa. You know what to do.โ Medmed said and the short legs nodded.
โAs your wish ลehzade. โ He said as he tried to grab my arm but I swatted his hand away.
โTouch me and I'll break your arms.โ I roared at him as he put his hand over his mouth.
โWhat an insolent girl.โ He said but I didn't care about him. I turn towards Mehmed who was looking at me curiously.
I have decided. I know what to do. And i'll do it.
โI'll stay here but I want a different room. I'm not staying with you.โ I said and he gave me a boring look.
โLook woman. I don't know whether to call you loose screw or a cunning woman but listen carefully, I'm ลehzade Mehmed. Second son of Sultan Mustafa. Do you understand โลehzadeโ. Your opinions don't matter to me.โ He said and I shot him a glare. โEither you go with Sumbul aga willingly or my guards can drag you there. The choice is yours.โ
I thought for some moment before nodding. If I die here I couldn't be able to go home. But first of all I have to figure out how I came here and that way i'll find my way home. . . . of course after saving him.
Sumbul agha lead the way as I followed him glaring at Mehmed. I didn't thought the person whom I thought to save is a big ass.
We kept on walking as the person who passes by looked at me with confused expression. I knew what exactly they were thinking of course. The way I dress. No one wears sweatpants and shirt here and this sucks.
We entered a big room no wait. . . . Harem? The girls kept staring at me while short legs yelled at them to go back to their works.
โSumbul agha, who's this new girl. Is she a concubine of ลehzade Selim?โ One woman asked who was holding her pregnant belly and unlike others she dressed well and she even had a small tiara on her head. She was a woman of higher rank I could tell that.
โSadika Hatun. She is not a concubine, she is a free woman. And no, she wasn't brought her for ลehzade Selim.โ Short legs replied as I look around the Harem while other girls giggled pointing at me. I know, I look like shit.
โThen who is she?โ She asked as she checked me from head to toe. โShe doesn't look like she's from here.โ
โลehzade Mehmed saved her from drowing and brought her here. She'll be staying with him.โ He said and she nodded.
โWhat's your name.โ She asked politely offering me a small smile which I returned.
โAndria.โ I replied.
โSadika Hatun?โ A voice called her from behind before a woman in her early twenties came walking towards us.
โThank God, Firuze Kalfa. I was searching for you.โ Short legs said as he smiled at her to which she returned.
โWhy? What happen Sumbul agha?โ She asked before looking at me. โAnother new concubine? For which ลehzade?โ Firuze Kalfa asked checking me.
โKalfa, she is not a concubine. She is a free woman. I'll explain to you later for now just get her something to wear before she freeze to death and ลehzade Mehmed kill us.โ Sumbul cried and Firuze nodded.
Firuze turned towards Sadika Hatun. โHatun. ลehzade Selim is waiting for you in his chambers.โ She said and Sadika's smile widened, she turn towards me.
โI'll see you soon, Andria.โ She said and I nodded. She hurried out of the door followed by two girls and I return my gaze back at the two.
โCome with me.โ Firuze said as she walked and I followed her. To be honest, i'll love to be stuck here for forever if I didn't miss my parents. The palace is awesome but the only problem if I can't wear pajama or sweatpants here and that sucks more than anything else.
Firuze dressed me into a beautiful red dress and I twirl around holding my dress.
โSo where are you from Andria?โ Firuze asked as she did my hair while I look at my reflection with big eyes still not believing thats me.
โRome, italy. โ I said and she nodded.
โYour also from there right?โ I asked her as I remember reading about her too.
โHow did you know?โ She asked as she stopped.
Oh shit.
Think something, Andria.
โYou look like your from there.โ I replied as I smile at her sheepishly and she seemed to buy it. Phew.
โYes your right. I'm also from Rome.โ She said as she finished with my hair and turn me around to face her with her hands on my shoulder.
โPerfect.โ She said as she smiled at me. To be honest, she wasn't as stern as it was mention in the book. โOur ลehzade won't be to able to keep his eyes off you.โ
I scoffed. โThen let's change. I want to wear something in which he won't even look at me.โ I said and Firuze looked at me with shocked expression.
โThen why are you here if not for ลehzade.โ She asked curiously looking at me.
โI'm being held hostage. I want to go he but he won't send me.โ Ok. That was half of the truth.
She about to say something when someone knocked on the door.
โIs she ready, Kalfa? ลehzade is asking for her.โ Sumbul said in a hush tone and I rolled my eyes.
โYes. Just a minute.โ She said before turning towards me. โListen girl, let me tell, he is a ลehzade and he seem to like you so he brought you here. If you please him and give him a heir you will rule the World. Do you get it? You become a Sultana.โ
I stood up as she re-arranged my clothes. โNow go. ลehzade must be waiting for you.โ
I nodded as I walked out and followed Sumbul.
