After a week, I finally came out of my chambers, I was feeling much better and I was in my final days of pregnancy... Until I saw Livia.

,,Oh good morning Livia, It's really nice to see you." I said with a fake smile, I was being ironic so she of course noticed that I didn't mean it.

,,It's really nice to see you too Muazzez hatun, but my name is Melike now, also don't forget that a princess is in front of you." She said.

,,I guess that Nurbanu Sultan gave you the name since she loves so much, but don't be upset then she founds someone better, she uses everyone here." I said.

,,Oh no, it wasn't Nurbanu Sultan, it was Sehzade Murad who gave me the name, he gave me on our first night." She said

,,Well I'll make sure that was your first and last night with Murad!" I said.

,,Don't be so mad Muazzez, we all know that our marriage broke you." She said.

,,And we all know that Murad married you only because our country wants peace with Italy!!" I said.

that moment I felt a really sharp pain in my stomach. ,,Muazzez are you okay?!" Melike asked me.

,,No I'm about to become Sultana!" I said in pain.

,,Aghas why are you standing like this call the midwife, hurry up!" She yelled.

Midwifes came quick and they moved to my chambers. ,,Push Muazzez hatun!" one of them said.

I was in such a pain, but I knew that I could make it, after a long birth I heard the crying of a baby.

,,Congrats, It's a healty Sehzade.". They gave him to me and I bursted into tears. He looked like an angel, I softy kissed his head.

Then Murad and Nurbanu came in. ,,Murad look at our lion" I said.

Murad took him in his arms and kissed his little hand.

After that a naming ceremony started. There were Nurbanu, Mihrimah, Sah, Gevherhan, Ismihan, Safiye and Melike.

,,Destur Sultan Selim Khan Hazretreli" the main agha yelled and we all bowed.

He came in and took our Sehzade in his arms. ,,Your name will be Ahmed, your name will be Ahmed, your name will be Ahmed." he said.

Selim put Ahmed back in his crib them me and Murad kissed his hand.

After the ceremony gold coins and sweets were distributed thorough harem. Nurbanu made party and everyone celebrated.

That night me and Murad were in his room with our child in my hands.

,,Isn't he so cute?" I said.

,,He is the cutes baby I've ever seen my entire life." Murad said.

In that moment Ahmed opened his big brown eyes, I couldn't hide my happines.

,,Murad he looks just like you, his mouth and nose, just like you and he has my hair and eyes, I've always wanted a blonde haired child." I said with a smile on my face.

,,Well we have to try again for a brown haired," He said and stared kissing me.

Few weeks after:

I was moved to new chambers, they were much bigger and prettier. When I got in a saw a bunch of new dresses, boxes with jewelry and perfumes. My new terrace was next to Murad's so I could see him from there.

When the maids packed everything up and noticed a small box. I opened it and saw a beautiful necklace with blue diamonds.

I guess it was from Murad since he was the one who sent me all this. I put it on my neck and it looked gorgeous.

Suddenly I heard Ahmed crying, I picked him up from his crib. The moment when I picked him he stopped crying. His little smile made my day. That's the actually the first time Ahmed ever smiled.

I was walking thorough harem that day. When I came across Melike.

,,What a disrespect Melike hatun, you should bow when you see Sultana." Akiye said, she was behind me so I couldn't see her.

,,Why should I bow to a slave?" Melike said and laughed softly.

,,Our Sultana is-." Akiye tried to say.

,,Akiye, It's fine, I'll tell her. Livia, I am a granddaughter of late Bali Bey, probably a one of the loyalist man of late Sultan Suleyman Khan, and Aybige Hatun, nephew of the late Valide Ayse Hafsa Sultan. I was living in a palace in Bursa most of my life and I came here because of Sultan Suleiman's death, that's how everything started. I was never a slave actually. I am a free woman just like you, that you're princess and wife of Sehzade Murat doesn't really matter here, you should bow to me because I am mother of a Sehzade!" I said and walked away.

I dictated to go visit a girls in harem and have dinner with them. When I came in everyone bowed, I honestly didn't expect that but it seemed they loved me.

I the middle of the dinner I looked up and saw no one but Ayşegül. I was shocked because I thought she was dead and I gasped, and everyone looked at her. She smiled and I could see the evil in her eyes.

,,Sabiha hatun, what is she doing here I thought she tripped fell and died?" I asked Sabiha hatun whispering.

,,I don't know Sultana, they must told us the wrong news" Sabiha replied whispering too.

Suddenly everyone started gossiping about her. She got down. ,,Everyone should know that I'm alive and from now on my era begins!" She said proudly.

As she was saying that one agha came across her. ,,Ayşegül hatun, Sehzade Murad is calling you to halvet, go prepare yourself, the others van help you." He said.

At that moment I felt such an anger, I can't describe how much I hated her. I left the harem and got back to my chambers.

Meanwhile in Aysegul's chambers:

,,Aysegul, you're stunning!" Sadika hatun said as she.

,,Thank you Sadika, Sehzade will forget about that witch Muazzez very soon." Aysegul replied.

,,Yes Sehzade will totally fell in love with you." Gulnes hatun said as she was helping her with her dress.

,,Amin." Aysegul said.

Back to Muazzez's chambers:

I didn't know what to do, I couldn't accept the fact Aysegul is here.

,,Akiye what do I do!?" I said panicking.

,,Sultana, you have to accept the fact than sehzade wants another woman, you can't do anything about it." Akiye said.

,,No, I won't let that happen" Is said.

,,Well, what will you do, Sultana?" She asked me.

,,I'll fight for love." I said and left my chambers, Akiye tried to stop me but I didn't change my decision.

I reached Murad's chambers hasiobabasa was at the door.

,,Tell Sehzade that I'm here." I said.

,,Sorry Sultana, but I can't, Aysegul hatun goes to halvet tonight, come tomorrow." He said.

,,Oh okay." I said and started to leave.

When I saw hasobabasa was not paying attention I quickly ran into Murad's chambers.

,,Muazzez, what are you doing here?!" Murad asked.

I came towards him and started kissing, he kissed me back, Murad slowly unbuttoned my dress which fell on the floor, we continued to his bed.

Meanwhile outside Murad's chambers:

Aysegul arrived Murad's chambers, she was smiling proudly.

,,I'm sorry Aysegul hatun, but Muazzez Sultan is with Sehzade right now." Hasobabasa said.

,,What do you mean she's with him, I'm supposed to go to halvet tonight." Aysegul said nervously.

,,I'm sorry but she ran in Sehzade's chambers while I was not looking." He said.

,,Ugh she will pay for this." Aysegul said and angrily left.

The next morning:

I woke up and Murad was on his desk making jewelry.

,,Good morning beautiful" He said when he noticed that I was awake.

,,Good morning Murad" I said.

,,How did you sleep Muazzez?" He asked me.

,,I slept well." I said with a smile on my face.

,,I'll order us breakfast." He said.

,,Sure, I'm hungry" I said. We ate and I came back to my room.

I was coming back from Murad's chambers and Aysegul came up to me.

,,Oh good morning Aysegul" I said.

,,How dare you do this to me!"

,,What, how I dare what?" I said sarcastically.

,,You ruin my night with Sehzade, I'll ruin your life." She said angrily.

,,Oh don't be silly Aysegul." I said and laughed softly. Aysegul just walked away.
