"Mihriban, prepare yourself because tommorow we will be heading to Kutahya," my father said making me happy because I knew I will have one more opportunity to see Bayezid there.

"She shouldn't go with you, Ali," mother started complaining once again about our trip.

"Valide, if what worries you is Prince Bayezid then you shouldn't worry. I don't have any thoughts about him, I just want to go a bit from Istanbul and spend time with father," I said and smiled to my father who was happy about my decision.

Next morning I woke up with all of my things ready and done, waiting for carriage to take us so we can head to Kutahya. Mother still wasn't happy about our decision even though we tried to explain to her so many times, but at the end there was nothing we could do about it.

Father and I knew the travel to Kutahya will took us few days, but we made sure everything is ready. Sultan ordered my father to be there and help Prince Bayezid for some time in realising important projects and leading him on a good way, because Sultan wasn't really satisfied with his acts.

Week later we arrived to Kutahya in Pearl Mansion which was given to us by the Sultan, I mean it was given to my father. No one knew I would also go with him there, and my father had no idea I had already met Bayezid privately. It was maybe even better like this.

"I have some state jobs, and I must keep Prince Bayezid on our side. He is loyal to his brother Prince Mustafa and I hope he won't be my enemy because of that," father said as he was getting ready for the dinner with members of Kutahya's Divan.

"I am sure Prince will find the correct way and that is the way of being next to you and support you. Maybe Mustafa is his brother but he is also his enemy," I said as I passed turban to my father and he placed it on his head.

"My smart daughter, Palace is very close from here and I can't prohibit you from going there, but it wouldn't be nice if you go there very often. Mihrimah Sultana is with Prince Bayezid in Kutahya so you could maybe visit her just to keep the relationship with them good," father said as he was worried each time he would have to leave me alone.

"I will visit Sultana, of course. I wish you a good time," I said as I escorted him to the exit of our Mansion.

I knew I should visit Mihrimah and that way make better relationship but at the same time there was fear inside me to look at Bayezid each time again because I couldn't allow myself to fall in love with him. I was free woman and I couldn't even imagine having to share a man I love with another woman. I wouldn't even want my husband to look at another woman not even to sleep with her, and that was the real reason I wanted to keep myself far from Bayezid.

I sat in the carriage which would bring me to the Palace as I knew my father is outside with Bayezid and I couldn't see him anywhere there so I grabbed the opportunity to meet Mihrimah.

"Sultanim," I said as I entered her chambers and bowed to her and at the same moment she seemed very surprised but very happy to see me here.

"Mihriban, welcome, come here," she said as she showed to me to sit next to her as her servants bring us sherbet and lokum.

"I didn't know you are also in Kutahya with your father, I was surprised to hear about it," Mihrimah said but she seemed like she is happy I am here.

"Father decided it will be best like it, before we always went somewhere and in the last time when he was promoted we didn't get any opportunity so this one was special for that," I said as I took a sip of sherbet which was served to us.

"My brother Bayezid will be happy to find out you are here, I saw how is he looking at you," Mihrimah said and smiled once again and this wasn't actually good to me because this way I could lead myself and even Bayezid to problems which I didn't want.

"Sultana," I tried to say something to negotiate her words but there was nothing that could get to my mind and even at her words how Bayezid is looking at me made my heart beat a little faster.

"Don't negotiate anything because you for sure looked at him the same way, I would be the happiest if Bayezid would actually find the real love," she said and took a sip of sherbet.

"Someday a concubine in his harem will come and he will fall in love with her. I don't even dare to think about being with Prince because this is what is forbidden," I lied to her.

"There are many women in this Harem and none of them has special place in his heart. Not even mothers of his children," she said what surprised me as I had no idea Bayezid had children.

"I didn't know he has children and still doesn't love their mothers," I said what surprised me because when they were talking he doesn't love anyone I was sure he doesn't even have a child.

"His first consort is Rana Hatun, she is mother of his son Prince Mahmud. Relationship between them is not working because Rana got pregnant on her first night with him and he had no idea she is pregnant, and he never fallen in love with her," Mihrimah said like this was total normal to her and I could never imagine how those women felt.

"I couldn't even imagine how she may feel," I said as I wish to compassion those woman and what I knew I could never live like that.

"Second one is Sirin Hatun which is mother of his daughter Meylisah Sultan. But Sirin got in a fight with Bayezid long time ago and he doesn't even want to see her," Mihrimah said and with all those things I was surprised how little I knew about man my heart was beating faster for.

"But all those woman don't have any kind of charachter and they barely dare to even look Bayezid in his eyes. They can't calm him when he is angry and they can't have normal conversation with him," Mihrimah said.

"One day one with charachter will come," I said and looked at her.

"That's what I'm praying for. Mustafa has his strong place and sons that are his heirs. His mother is trying everything to lead him on the good way while our mother has to do that with three of her sons and it's hard to balance it. I would give my life to support Prince Bayezid to get to the throne and what he needs next to him is a strong woman," Mihrimah said.

"My father swore to loyality to Prince Bayezid and he will do whatever is needed to be with him, but only problem is Hayrettin Pasha who is constantly against my father," I said.

Mihrimah wanted to say something and at that moment she looked at my dress when she probably recognised the diamond butterfly brochure I had on it.

"This butterfly is beautiful, where did you get it from?" She asked me suspiciously. Oh my God, this conversation was now too much for me.

"My father gifted me with it," I lied to her and she nodded with some weird smile like she knew it was Bayezid's. I didn't know if that man is for real telling everything to his sister who is now asking me about all those things.
