"Attention! Her Imperial Majesty Ismihan Sultana!" Reyhan yelled as I named him as chief ennuch of Harem as he was the one I trusted the most. I trusted Bulbul also, but I knew my mother is very well in manipulating him so I had to take a measure.

I walked through the Harem as ruler of Harem and co-ruler of my husband. All the girls bowed to me as they were afraid of me especially when they found out I banished my mother to the Old Palace.

" Girls, I prepared some gifts for you. I hope you will enjoy them." I said and signalised to Zeynep and my new maid Bahar to bring the gifts to the maids.

They bring boxes in which were gold coins which they gave to girls equally and a lot of jewerly and dresses. I could see all the girls are really happy for the gifts I gave them as they haven't recieved them for a long time.

" God bless you Ismihan Sultana." I could hear maids talking to me and being really thankful about it.

They were so excited to get the gold and the dresses and the jewerly because all of them wanted to look as good as possible.

" Ismihan Sultana, what is the meaning of Harem now? Will we be concubines of Sultan Şahin now?" one maid yelled to call me while I was leaving and my nerves already got too weak. Even thought about my husband looking at another woman was killing me.

" Who do you think you are just to think you can spend a night with my husband, Hatun?" I turned to her and I saw she is pretty afraid of me especially when I was nervous as this.

" But he is Sultan now, forgivne me for my curiosity. If you don't want another woman near him then you can dismiss us all." the same hatun said to me and looked at me directly like she had zero respect towards me.

" The Harem is here to give you education. Has anyone been treating you bad here?" I raised my tone over them and they all looked down at the floor which gave me answer and that was they were perfectly treated.

" You get a place to sleep, warm food each day, you get best possible education here. You can even work here and gain more money than women your age can anywhere else in the world. And you still don't like it here because you only want the power. Didn't you know that concubine which serves me or helps to my children gets more paid for day than some people working outside get for a week? And you still don't respect that?" I said to them and they all were embarassed now in front of me.

" I actually came here to take maids who will serve me and help me with children. And all you girls in Harem, you will be here for three years. After three years of serving you can leave the Palace and marry. No one ordered you to stay here till death." I said to them and left to meet with Şahin who had his first Divan today.

" My love." I said as I entered his chambers and even though he was the Sultan he was the one who was still bowing to me and not I to him.

" My Ismihan." Şahin said and ran to take me into his hug as he was so happy when he saw me.

" How did your first Divan go?" I asked him curiously as we sat on his bed.

" I made some changes today. I removed all of Ahmed's loyal people from Divan and placed my loyal people." Şahin said showing me the notes from today's divan as he wanted my approval for everything, but I trusted him that there was no reason to check up on him.

" Do you like your new chambers? It is bigger than our room in our Palace was." I said to him as I looked how he decorated his new Sultan's chambers.

" It will be even better when you move to be here with me in my chambers." Şahin said and kissed my forehead and I stayed shocked. Usually no one was allowed to sleep here except for Sultan and I really didn't except from Şahin to do this.

" You don't have to do this if you don't want to Sahin, I know this situation of you ascending the throne was difficult, but you are the Sultan now..." I started to tell but Sahin stopped me as he kissed my lips gently.

" I don't want to sleep a night while you aren't here next to me, Ismihan." Sahin said and putted his hand on my face.

I felt really happy next to Sahin especially now when there was no one to threat us anymore. No one could stand on our way anymore.

" Only thing I wish from you Ismihan is to allow me to get my brother Mehmed here. My brother is the only one who was with me for the whole time and I don't want to leave him alone." Şahin said and I stood up nervously as I remembered everything Mehmed told me about his emotions towards me and I didn't feel comfortable with that.

" Şahin, I already told you. Fahriye is dead because of him, I can't... " I started to say but Şahin stood up and told me.

" There is something else and I am sure of it, Ismihan. You just don't want to tell me why you don't want my brother in our presnce." Şahin said as he tried to force me to tell him the truth, but I couldn't do it.

" Şahin, it is only that." I said to him seriously looking at him directly in his eyes because I knew he was weak on my look, but this time it didn't work.

" I saved your brother Iskender and we protect him all the time. Wouldn't you help me to protect my brother?" Şahin asked me as he took my hands into his making me feel guilty about this whole situation.

" Fine then, he can come. But I expect from you to keep Iskender here and I don't want even a hair from his head to fall." I said.
