I read a book on my terrace looking at the beautiful Bosphorus, the capital is the most beautiful in summer, although I have been to the capital only a couple of times, but every summer the capital shines, the people are happy...

,, Muazzez hatun, Nurbanu Sultan invites you to lunch in her chambers" Esma hatun said.

"Esma, did you hear about the knocking, did you scared me!" I shouted at her. I got ready and went to the Nurbanu.

I entered the rooms of the" Sultana", I said as I bowed.

"Come sit down, we'll have lunch soon," she said. I sat on the pillow and a few minutes later they served us lunch

. "Muazzez, I know we both hate Safiye, and I called on you to help me get rid of her," she said.

"Sultana, I do not hate Safiye, why would I hate her?" I said.

"Muazzez, don't lie, I see you hate each other, Sfiye thinks you want to steal Murad from her, I mean she is not wrong, I know you like him and he likes you," she said. My face turned red, I didn't know what to say because she would know that I'm lying, I wanted him so bad.

,,Sultana I-" I tried to explain.

,,No, no, no, Muazzez, that's why I called you, we need to get rid of Safiye" she said.

,,I will help you Sultana, but how are we going to get rid of her?" asked.

,,Well Safiye's biggest fear is Murad being with other women, so I thought that I would sent you to Murad's chambers one night.' she said.

,,Sultana, isn't that against the harem's rules, I am free woman and sehzade can only be with slaves from harem," I said.

,,I know but we have to risk" Nurbanu said.

,,Well isn't the better idea to marry me with sehzade Murad?'' Iasked.

,,No my Muazzez, you only need to be the favorite, we will marry you to him, don't worry'' She said.

,,Well let's do it, I will help you Sultana" I said.

,,Good, I knew that I could trust you, Cenfeda" Nurbanu said and looked at Cenfeda hatun, that moment Cenfeda handed Nurbanu a box and she took a beautiful necklace.

,,This is yours now, I hope you like my gift, this will be beginning of our friendship" she said giving me the necklace.

,,Thank you so much Sultana, I love it-" At that moment we heard someone closing the back door, someone was spying on us, probably some Safiye's maid.

,,Sultana i think someone spied on us" I said.

,,No, It's just in your head, Muazzez, now go back to your chambers" she said.

I got up, bowed and left.

When I got to my chambers I put necklace that Nurbanu gave me, and it looked beautiful on me.

3rd person's POV:

Safiye's maid, Gulnur hatun closed the back door of Nurbanu Sultana's chambers and went to Safiye. When she got there she knocked at the door.

,,Come in" Safiye said.

,,Sultana" Gulnur said as she bowed.

,,Speak, Gulnur what are they planning to do? Safiye asked.

,,Sultana, Nurbanu Sultan wants Muazzez hatun on her side, they will try to get rid of you Sultana" Gulnur replied.

,,How?" Safiye asked.

,,Well, Nurbanu will send Muazzez to sehzade Murad's chambers to halvet" she replied.

,,How's that possible, that's illegal, Muazzez is a free woman" Safiye said.

,,I don't know Sultana, Nurbanu Sultan said they have to risk and that the prince likes Muazzez so there won't be any problem" Gulnur replied.

,,Oh that witch, she even casted a spell on Nurbanu Sultan, and now she's trying to steal my Murad" Safiye said angerly.

,,Well what can we do Sultana?"

,,We need to get rid of Muazzez before they get rid of me" Safiye said.

,,What's on your mind Sultana?" Gulnur asked.

,,I heard that Nurbanu Sultana is going to make a party in harem, so before the party starts you will go to the kitchen and when no one's watching, you will put a poison in Muazzez's drink." Safiye said.

,,All right Sultana I will do that" Gulnur said.

,,But be careful and don't let anybody see you" Safiye said.

,,Don't worry my Sultana I will be careful" Gulnur said.

,,Okay now leave my chambers" Safiye said. Nurgul bowed and left.

--End of 3rd person's POV:-

The next day they told me that Nurbanu Sultan is making a party in harem and that I should go there. I put my beautiful blue dress and crown with blue crystals.

When I got there I bowed and I sat on the pillow under Nurbanu. They were also Safiye and her sehzade Mehmed who was 1 and Sah, Ismihan and Gevherhan Sultanas. We were eating, drinking and enoying the party.

,,Sultana I'm not feeling well can I go back to my chambers" Safiye said holding hand on her stomach. I thought that she was not feeling well because she's pregnant but she fainted in the middle of harem after saying that.

,,Muazzez, did you do something to Safiye before talking to me?!' Nurbanu asked me angerly.

,,No, Sultana, I promise"I replied.

We got back to our chambers, and I was so nervous because they might blame me for what happened to Safiye.

I was nervously walking around my chambers waiting for someone to knock on my door and tell me what really happened to Safiye.

,,Muazzez Hatun, why are you walking around like some crazy women?" Nazli hatun asked me.

,,Safiye Sultan fainted in the middle of harem and they might think I poisoned her" I replied still walking like that.

,,Well did you poison her?" she asked me.

,,No, I didn't" I replied.

,,Then you don't have to worry and walk around like this" Nazli said.

,,You don't understand Nazli, we hate each other so they'll think I did it" I said. Nazli just rolled her eyes.

Someone knocked on my door, ,,Come in" I said.

That was Esma hatun, ,,Muazzez hatun, Nurbanu sultan is calling you t her chambers" she said.

I knew that was something bad but I had to go, when I got there I bowed and Nurbanu told me to sit down. I sat on pillow.

,,Muazzez, did you do something to Safiye?" Nurbanu asked me.

,,No Sultana, I didn't, I swear" I replied frightenetly.

,,Good, but if you did I will destroy yo-" Nurbanu said but in that exact moment someone knocked.

,,Come in" Nurbanu said.

That was Gulizar kalfa- harem's treasurer, she bowed. ,,Speak" Nurbanu said.

,,Sultana, we found a posion bottle in Gulnur hatun's dress, she probably poisoned Safiye Sultan" Gulizar said.

,,How is that possible, Gulnur is most loyal Safiye's servant" Nurbanu said.

,,Sultana you didn't let me finish, we interrogated her and she admitted that Safiye Sultan sent her to poison Muazzez hatun but she mistakenly poured poison into Safiye Sultan's drink." Gulizar kalfa said.

,,Safiye will pay for this" Nurbanu said.
