" Sultana, wake up, wake up." I heard Zeynep calling for me. I opened my eyes and I saw her standing in front of me and I couldn't remember what happened.
" Zeynep.. What just happened?" I asked her as I was laying down on bed in my chambers totally lost.
" Sultana, you fainted after you found out your son's health condition." Zeynep said ashamedly and looked down at the floor.
Only mention that Murad will be hunchback made me feel so much pain because I knew I won't be able to help him in any possible way, and that there is no cure for that.
" I have two news for you, one is good, and one is bad." Zeynep said to me.
" Dont scare me now. First tell me the good news." I said to her as I was already upset at the mention of bad news, I had enough of them.
" You are pregnant. When you fainted doctor checked up on you and found out you are pregnant again! Congradulations." Zeynep said happily to me and I felt really happy too.
Even though I was angry on Şahin I was happy that we are going to have another baby really soon.
" And what are the bad news?" I asked her as I was already afraid what those news could be.
" Sultan Ahmed and Şehzade Mustafa have smallpox. No one know if they will survive. And Şehzade Osman..." Zeynep started telling, but she stopped.
" What happened to Şehzade Osman?" I asked her.
" May he rest in peace." Zeynep said and sadly bowed her head down.
I called Fahriye to my Palace because I wanted to talk to her as soon as possible. I understood she would do this to Ahmed, but why to Mustafa? Why to Osman who couldn't even walk alone yet?
" Ismihan, have you heard the happy news?" Fahriye said as she came into my hug as she came inside my Palace.
I stood there in shock how she can be happy that she poisoned her nephews.
" What are you talking about, Fahriye? Are you crazy? How those can be good news when you are trying to kill last male heirs from our dynasty." I said coldly to her and didn't even want to look at her.
Fahriye was confused with my reaction. She obviously thought I will have great reaction for her work.
" Ismihan, you don't know how much of profit we will have for this. Our dreams will finally come true." Fahriye said and she couldn't hide happiness from her face.
" What kind of dreams will come true? End of our Dynasty is coming. For hundreds of years everything was going well and now you came and poisoned last male heirs just to get your dreams come true?" I yelled on her as I couldn't stand how stupid she was acting.
" That same male heir you are defending, is Sultan Ahmed, who didn't allow our happiness and wants to do whatever is needed for us to be sad." Fahriye said and raised her head.
" Ahmed came to the throne as innocent boy who was marionette of his mother who could do whatever she want through him. Those weren't Ahmed's decisions, but Handan's. Ahmed did a lot of bad things to me also, but I never wanted to do anything bad to me because he is my nephew at the end. " I said to her and stopped for a moment to take a breath.
" Last things he has done made me against him, but I never would kill him or do something bad to him." I said to her.
" I did what was important. Because of my actions, you will get the biggest possible rule you could get, and you are still against that?" Fahriye said and laughed to me. She obviously thought I am stupid and I should be thankful for her that she did that.
" What did Şahin promise to you when you are so happy about this idea and you did it so quickly?" I asked her as I knew it must have been something that included Mehmed Giray.
" He promised to me that I will marry with Mehmed Giray. That is only thing that is important to me and I would do whatever he asked from me to do it. " Fahriye said and raised her head, thinking she sounds smart now.
" Ahmed didn't allow me to marry Şahin, but I did it without him knowing it. I didn't kill all male memebers of Ottoman Dynasty because of that." I said to her coldly.
" Am I interrupting something?" familiar voice said and at the same time both Fahriye and I shutted up to see who it was.
I turned around and saw our eldest sister Humasah who came inside my Palace.
" Humasah, come here. Fahriye came to tell me what happened to our nephews, how horrible is that." I said and faked my sadness while I looked at Fahriye with the egde of my eye.
" I hope that any of you don't have your fingers inside this, because I will destroy who ever dared to raise his or her hand on our Ottoman heirs." Humasah looked at both of us coldly.
Since young age, she was like some kind of authority to us, as she was the eldest sister. We always respected her, and even sometimes we were afraid of her.
" Only thing we can do now is to pray that they find the cure for Hunkarim and Şehzade Mustafa, because only God knows what will happen if we lose one of them." I said sadly and sighed.
" Your husband would have most profit from their death, keep an eye of him, Ismihan." Humasah said seriously to me.
" If he would even dare to do something like that, I would divorce from him a long time ago." I said to her seriously trying not to make her think Şahin has his fingers in this.
Even though Humasah, Fahriye and me were sisters, we all had nothing really in common. Each one of us was totally different.
Humasah was really serious and cold person, but her life and her marriage taught her to be like that. She was great kind of authority, but she was really good person in deep of her soul. She would give everything she had to her family and loved ones, she would protect them with their life.
Fahriye was total opposite. She was very soft and gentle person, but she was naive. Whoever wanted could manipulate over her, because she never thought alone, she instead listened to other people's orders and did whatever they told her. At the other hand, she was also egoistic and she would do whatever is needed to satisfy her own pleasures and for herself to be happy.
And as a youngest daughter, everyone said that I resembled most on my mother Safiye Sultan. Both with my look and my charachter.
