" Aunt Ismihan, you wanted to talk with me?" Ahmed asked me as I entered his chambers.

He changed a lot. After Handan and Derviş' death, he became totally new person. He had no more respect or love towards me, even though we were family, but I still had respect to him.

" I wanted to talk to you. I was really afraid to come to Palace because I thought something bad will happen to me, but I must talk about this with you." I said to him and faked my sadness while he showed me to sit next to him on his throne.

" What is it, aunt? I am worried about you. After last incident that happened I don't know who I can believe. Your Valide accused a maid from Bulgaria that did this to you, but I don't believe her. Why would that maid do anything bad to you?" Ahmed asked me as he seemed really worried for me this time.

" My Valide punished innocent maid, like she usually does." I said to him and sighed.

" Aunt, do you remember who did this to you?" Ahmed asked me and he was really worried this time.

"  I know you probably won't believe me, as no one in this palace doesnt believe me. No one believes me because I am daughter of Safiye Sultan." I said to him and faked my innocence.

" Ismihan, I will always believe you. You should tell me who did it." Ahmed said and looked me.

" Your favourite Anastasia, now Mahpeyker did it." I said to him and looked sadly at him, and he seemed shocked at my words.

" That's impossible, Mahpeyker would never do something like this." Ahmed said and looked at another side.

I knew he can't accept the fact that she did it, but this time I was telling the truth.

" Anastasia is whole time working for my mother." I said to him and I knew this would lead both of them to problems, but I didn't care anymore. My mother deserved to be treated like this.

" What are you talking about?" Ahmed asked me as he started getting kinda angrily.

"  Mahpeyker never loved you, only thing she wanted is to influence you and give birth to a son. She wanted to become powerful, that's why she begged my mother to help her. " I said and stopped for a second to take a breath, for my story to seem even more realistic than it is.

" Mahpeyker wanted to rule this Harem just like my Valide did. And she hated me from the first day when I sent Mahfiruze to you. You already know how she went inside my chambers and took those letters..." I said because that was something Mahpeyker should have been punished of, but she never was.

" Mahpeyker is pregnant, are you sure what you are accusing her of?" Ahmed said and raised his eyebrow. I wasnt sure if he is going to believe me this time.

" I am only telling you what the truth is, it is your thing if you are going to believe me. I wouldn't have any interest from telling you this, I just wanted you to know...." I said and stopped to take a breath.

" I just wanted you to know because of who my poor child won't survive." I said and started crying.

Ahmed hugged me as he tried to calm me down, but he didn't know what kind of pain was that.

" Aunt, everyone who has its finger in this will be punished. You shouldn't even worry. When Anastasia gives birth, she will be punished." he said to me trying to comfort me.

I left Ahmed's chambers being happy that I knew he would punish Mahpeyker, but I really hoped he would also punish my mother.

For my whole life I did whatever she wanted, but I got tired of it. She deserves to be punished, and I won't care anymore if she is my mother or not. She never cared about me. She only did bad things to me and destroyed my life with each of her decisions.

Walking during the hallways, I acciedantly met Halime who seemed really happy to see me.

" Sultana, I would like to talk to you in my chambers." Halime said to me and I followed her towards her chambers.

" I have serious thing that I want to talk with you about. I know Mahpeyker did a lot of bad things to you, and you want to revenge her." she said to me and stopped.

" I never liked her since she came to this Palace. I always wanted to get rid of her, and now since she is pregnant, she is even bigger threat to me. " Halime said to me quite nervously.

" She is threat for you because you want Mustafa on the throne?" I asked her and smiled.

" She is treat for me because I am afraid if more sons are born, then that would lead my Mustafa to death." Halime said and looked sadly at the floor.

" Then how didn't Osman, Mahfiruz's son make a threat for you?" I asked her and raised my eyebrow.

" Mahfiruz is not like Mahpeyker. Mahfiruz is not powerful and there is nothing she can do, but I am afraid of Mahpeyker. I want to get rid of her, but I need to know if you are with me in this." Halime said and looked at me seriously.

" Of course I want to revenge Mahpeyker because of what she has done, but the thing I know Halime is that you want your son on the throne. And I know my husband is your enemy, and I know you will want to get rid of him. If it continues that way, I won't be able to give you my support." I said to her and raised my head.

No matter how good relations I had with Halime, I knew she hates Şahin Giray from deep of her soul, and that if she gets enough power, she would get rid of him.

" If I ever get to the position of Valide Sultana, I would do nothing to your husband. It is not because of him, but because of you, Sultana." Halime said to me and I knew it was hard for her, but I knew she respected me enough to keep her promise.

" It better be like that." I said and smiled to her.
