" Sultana, I am really glad you allowed me to come to Palace. I am sorry for everything that happened and I hope we could improve the relationship between us one day because at the end you are wife of my brother." Mehmed Giray said as he returned to live in Palace and meet me on hallways. I couldn’t even explain how annoyed I was because of his presence and I couldn't tell this to anyone.

" I allowed it not because of you but because of Şahin." I said as I didn't even want to look at him.

" I am thankful to that and I will always be. I hope you haven't said anything to my brother." Mehmed asked me as he was probably afraid Şahin would kill him if he knew for his emotions towards me which were forbidden.

" Of course he doesn't know and you will burn those emotions. I don't want to hear about them any more time because I will punish you then." I said to him seriosuly.

" How can a man burn his feelings when he doesn't see anyone except for a woman he dreams about each night?" Mehmed asked me and he sounded romantic this time and I couldn't stand his behaviour.

" Aren't you even ashamed to tell this to your only brother's wife, Hanzade?" I asked him, but he didn't seem to be ashamed about this fact even for a bit.

"  I can't help myself with my emotions no matter if you are his wife, Sultana. I know you are prohibited to me, but I always cry when I remember the day I had to marry you but you ran away with Şahin." Mehmed said to me and reminded me of my past.

" Then you will need to find a help for your emotions because if this continues I will tell everything to Şahin and I won't have mercy for you." I said and went back to Valide Sultan's chambers which were more my office, as I slept in Şahin's chambers.

"Sultana, your mother Safiye Sultana is really sad to be in Old Palace. She can't believe you sent her there," Bulbul started to say as obviously my mother forced him to beg me to make me return her here, but I signalised him with my hand to stop talking.

"My mother has her own residence next to Bosphorus and if she wants she can live there. I haven't ordered her to live in the Old Palace but she won't be in this Harem anymore," I said.

"But Sultana, you gave this decision too quickly," Bulbul tried to say but I stopped him once again.

"Enough, I won't talk about my mother anymore," I said to him.

"It's not about your mother, Sultana. There is a woman who claims your brother Yahya is alive and she knows who he is," Bulbul said to me.

This wasn't what I wanted to hear because I have known for years that Iskender is my brother. I knew he is living more peacefully without even knowing who he is. He didn't have any threat to his life nor he had enemies. I didn't want to be selfish because maybe someone would think I rather want Sahin on the throne, but what I wanted the most was to keep him safe.

"Where is that woman?" I asked him.

"She is waiting for you to accept her," Bulbul said and I nodded to my maids to let her in. Bulbul left my chambers even though I knew he wanted to hear it.

A young girl who was barely 20 years old came inside my chambers with her head bowed down. She seemed to be pretty much afraid of me.

"You don't have to be afraid Hatun, you can tell me whatever you want," I said to her actually scared if she knows the real truth.

"Sultana, I... I..." She started saying but she suddenly stopped, "I am afraid for my life,".

"Why would you be afraid for your life for telling me who my brother is?" I raised my eyebrows and asked her.

"I know Grand Vizier Iskender Pasha is your twin brother, Sehzade Yahya," she said and I felt like a sword attacked me. After hiding it for so many years now the truth is known, but after she knew it, I was sure more people knew about this and it would lead us to a disaster.

So many things went around my mind seeing the rebellion against the Sahin putting my brother on the throne, and more enemies to my brother who couldn't live peacefully.

"How do you know that?" I asked her and she raised her head and looked me surprised.

"Sultana, but you know it?" She asked me.

"How do you know it?" I asked her.

"My father is a doctor, and Grand Vizier visited my father who instantly recognised him," girl said and looked at the floor again.

"Who knows about this?" I asked her.

"Only me and my father," she said looking up at me again.

"It will stay like this. I don't want this story to go around. I will pay you however much you need just to not tell this any further," I said.

"But, Sultana, don't you want your brother to ascend the throne and rule Empire?" She asked me and I was already annoyed by too much of her questions.

"Do I want my brother to gain new enemies and get to live in royal life in which every day you are afraid if you will wake up the next day if someone may poison you or kill you?" I said and she looked ashamedly on the floor.

"But, there is one things more," she said and looked at the floor.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"I am carrying possible heir," she said and putted her hands on her belly.
