Two weeks have passed since I gave birth to my beautiful twins Suleyman and Mihrimah and I decided I have to go to the Palace to talk with Sultan. I needed to do whatever is important to save my husband and my sister from him, because they both were involved in his posioning.

In those two weeks, my nephew Şehzade Mustafa unfornatley passed away. My heart hurted me because Mustafa was my favourite nephew. I loved him so much and it bring me such a pain.

If only anti-venom could save Mustafa, I would know I did right thing. Of course I was happy for Ahmed too, but my nephew Mustafa was too young to die just because of Şahin and Fahriye's plan.

I prepared myself and I was ready to go to the Palace, when Şahin approached me with interest.

"Where are you going, Ismihan?" Şahin asked me suspiciously.

"To the Palace, Sultan Ahmed wants to talk with me." I said to him as I was putting crown on my head as final of the acessories I was wearing.

" I hope it is something good." Şahin said and sighed. It was obvious he was afraid for his life.

I walked closer to him and took his hands into mine and looked at his eyes deeply.

" Leave the Palace and find suitable place to be until I return. I am afraid because Ahmed finds you really suspicious. I don't want him to do something bad to you." I said to Şahin with sadness in my eyes.

"Ismihan, you think he will...?" Şahin asked me and raised his eyebrows. This time he couldn't hide his fear from Ahmed, which he haven't felt any time before.

" I think he might send his people for you, that's why I want you to be on safe place. Please, I will do whatever is needed to save you." I said to him and kissed his lips, who knows maybe for the last time.


" Aunt, welcome!" Ahmed said as I came inside of his chambers and bowed to him. He showed me to sit next to him on his throne.

I walked to him feeling kinda anxiously because I didn't want to lose anyone of my loved ones.

" There is important thing we need to talk to. I believe only you of this." Ahmed said and looked at me.

" What's the matter?" I asked him as I pretended I have no idea what is he talking about.

" I know Fahriye Sultana has done it. We found a letter which proves she has done it." Ahmed said and looked at me seriously.

I felt like someone attacked my heart with a sword when he said he has a proof. How could Fahriye be so stupid to leave something like this?

" What? Are you sure Hunkarim?" I asked him as I pretended to be shocked.

Ahmed just gave me a letter which Fahriye has written and I was too afraid to even read it.

I poisoned Sultan and Şehzade for our future. Our future will be bright and we will be finally allowed to marry eachother, like they haven't allow us any time before. This time we will be happy finally. We will be happy till the end of our lives.
Your beloved Fahriye

" I can't believe it Hunkarim. Our Fahriye, she was not kind of person who would be able to do something like this." I said and sighed as I passed letter back to Ahmed. I tried to act like I am surprised, but in myself I was really angry on Fahriye who left the proof of what she has done.

" She was angry on me for not letting her marry Mehmed Giray, but I can't believe she sabotaged her family only because of the love." Ahmed said and he was really disappointed.

" May I ask you where did you get that letter, Hunkarim?" I asked him.

" Mehmed Giray gave me the letter." Ahmed said and I was shocked how he could do something like this. How could he do this to woman which risked her life just to be with him?

" I can't believe, Hunkarim. Our Fahriye always had a good heart, she would never be able to do something like this. I am her sister I know her so well..." I started lying to Ahmed, but he just signalised me to stop talking.

" I know she is your sister but you shouldn't try to make me forgive her, because I won't do that. We have all proof that she has done it and she will be punished of course." Ahmed said coldly and seriously to me. My nephew wasn't ever so cold like now.

" Hunkarim, you can punish her of course, but please don't kill her. Please." I said to him as my eyes were covered in tears.

" What another punishment I should give to her than that? She did huge mistake and of course she will be punished to death." Ahmed said and my heart hurted me a lot.

I had no words to tell to him, I had no way to make him feel the different way. I couldn’t do anything to help my sister escape from the death.

" But I am sure Fahriye didn't plan to do it alone. I am sure someone else has his hands inside this." Ahmed said and looked at me seriously.

" Who do you think of?" I asked him as I acted stupid this time in front of him.

" Your husband, Şahin Giray. I am hundred percent sure he has done something like this. Iskender will find out if there is anything related to this." Ahmed said seriously.

" My husband isn't involved in this. I can guarantee you." I lied to him giving my all for it to seem as realistic as possible.

" How can you guatantee for something like that when you know that your husband always had his eyes on the throne?" Ahmed raised his tone on me and looked me seriously.

" My husband haven't even left the Palace since we are taking care of our Murad. We are giving our all to make him feel better and in moments like this, of course I or him don't have any else hopes except Murad's recover." I said to Ahmed as my eyes were covered in tears. Ahmed looked at me like he is really sad about that.

" I understand. But Iskender will still have to do the investigation." Ahmed said to me.

" Of course, you always have to be sure, Hunkarim. There are a lot of more traitors than you think of, the ones you aren't even suspicious of. That's why I don't know why everyone is suspicious of my husband when he won't do anything bad." I lied once again to protect Şahin.

" No one can be against me anymore when there is no more heir to the Ottoman Throne. I am the only one." Ahmed said and he seemed pretty conviced there is no one else who could ascend the throne.

" Of course, Hunkarim. I hope you will have a Şehzade soon because people outside are really afraid that the end of Dynasty is coming. While you were sick, there were a lot of incidents in Istanbul." I said to him what was true this time.

" No one can take the throne, and soon I will have a heir to the throne. You shouldn't worry." Ahmed said and smiled to me.

I left his chambers, and then I went to visit my sister Fahriye, who knows maybe for the last time, because Ahmed didn't tell me when will he punish her.

I walked into Fahriye's chambers, but she wasn't there. There was only my Valide which seemed like she is still angry on me, and my elder sister Humasah.

" You haven't visited us for so long, we thought you forgot about us." Valide said and she looked at another way, like she is angry on me.

" Valide, you haven't came to my Palace even once to see your grandchildren. I am occupied with them so I have no time to go around the Palace." I said to her coldly as I sat next to them.

" I can't even watch that traitor of your husband which almost killed our dynasty." Valide said and raised her head.

" Where is Fahriye?" I asked her not caring about her words anymore.

" She should return soon, she went to meet with Hanzade Mehmed Giray." Valide said.

" You should spend this time with Fahriye the best you could, because later you won't have the chance." I said and looked down at the floor from sadness.

" Ismihan, what should that mean?" Humasah asked me worriedly. Valide just looked me shocked.

" Hunkarim got a letter where Fahriye wrote she poisoned them. He will kill her." I said as I couldn't hide my sadness anymore.

My Valide and Humasah stayed shocked at my words. They couldn't believe this would ever happen.

" My Fahriye will get killed because of that traitor Şahin Giray." Valide started yelling on me.

" Why it is his fault when Fahriye alone did it?" I said to her codldy.

" Because he surely made her do it." Valide continued to yell on me.

" Valide, will you ever stop blaming Ismihan and Şahin? Fahriye was the one who did it. No one could force her to do something she wouldn't want to do." Humasah got up and said seriously to my Valide.

" Humasah!" Valide yelled both at her and me now.

" Ismihan, you are here, finally!" Fahriye said as she ran into my hug as she entered her chambers.

" Fahriye, my beautiful sister." I got up and hugged her so thightly, because I knew there won't be a chance to do it any time more. I faked my happiness when I saw her because I didn't want her to be sad now.

" Why do you all seem so sad? What happened?" Fahriye asked when she saw faces of Humasah and Valide. I just looked at them both and forced them not to say this to her right now.

" Nothing, my dear." Valide fake smiled to her and it was obviously so hard for her.

" Sultan wants to see me now, he will probably allow me to marry with Mehmed now." Fahriye said and smiled so happily.

My heart hurted me how my sister had no clue what is going to happen to her. And I had no heart to tell this to her.
