I returned to my chambers and I knew my mother has made something against me. I just didn't know what, but I knew I would find out soon.

"Naime Sultan! Sultan Murad has called for you," Amber Agha said as he entered my chambers and anymore I didn't know if I should believe anyone when they tell me something about Murad. But Amber served me while I was in Egypt and I really believed him so I went into Murad's chambers.

Silahtar bowed to me as last time I hissed on him he didn't want to argue with me anymore. Honestly, I didn't know why the two of my sisters were in love with him but I guess they had their own reason. I entered Murad's chambers when I saw there him standing with my Valide who looked at me proud.

"Hunkarim, Valide," I bowed to them and both of them seemed to be pretty serious and I had fears something bad has happened.

"We got the decision on your engagement," Murad said as he was really serious this time and I don't know why he would be this serious if he would have allowed me to marry the person who I want.

"Who is it?" I asked him.

"You will be really happy about the decision, it is someone you like actually," Valide said to me and actually I might be thinking of Kemankes, if I haven't heard her conversation with him where I saw she is not really cold on him but wants him only for herself.

"You will be married to Deli Huseyin Pasha," Murad said so seriously and he had some kind of anger in his eyes, or some kind of disappointment in me and I didn't know why he would behave like this to me even after I admitted to him for who I have emotions.

"Why him?" I asked him trying not to get angry at this moment. But inside myself I was dying and I couldn't imagine myself being again married to someone I don't like.

"You meet with him secretly and that is enough reason for everyone to talk about you and him. Even in the harem there are talks about you two," Murad said and he was disappointed in me and now I realised what mother did to me to see Deli was just for me to stay away from Kemankes.

"I wish to speak with you alone," I said to him and looked at my mother who didn't want to leave the chambers, but Murad ordered her to do so. He went and sat on his throne while I stood in front of him.

"Mother made me a trap to be seen with Deli just for you to change your mind. I didn't have any intention nor did go by my wish to see him," I said to him but he looked at another side and wasn't really interested in what I have to say.

"I am enough of everyone fighting. I saw with my eyes you being alone with him in the gardens so you can't deny you were secretly with him," Murad said so seriously that I haven't seen my brother for a very long time behaving like this.

"You saw because Haci Agha called me and said you want to meet me in the Gardens. When I came there only Deli was and not you and that was when I realised they made me a trap. I don't know if you will believe me but-" I said and he stopped me very quickly by raising his hand.

"I just want to know what kind of game is this Naime? Mother says you love Deli, then you don't want to marry him and beg me to marry you for Kemankes, and now you are meeting Deli secretly? I even saw it and everyone else!" He said trying not to raise his voice on me because he loved me as a sister really much.

"If I wanted to be with Deli I would tell that to you the same way I told you I want to be with Kemankes. And only person I want to be is Kemankes, but that is obviously bothering someone who doesn't want that to be happened," I said seriously finally forcing him to think about the whole situation, because he knew only the things people wanted him to know, not what was really happening into the palace and the harem.

"And who would be bothered by you marrying Kemankes?" He asked me.

"Our Valide," I said not caring what would happen after this because when she does those things to me I would return her the same way. If only I could I would even tell Murad how our Valide probably has some emotions for a man who likes me and I like him back.

"Enough, Naime. I said what I had to say. I won't change my opinion anymore," he said taking papers in his hand which meant he didn't want me to be here anymore but focus on his job.

"You will really marry me again for someone I don't love just because that is mother's will and she is so possessive over Kemankes that she doesn't want her own daughter in his closeness?" I asked him not caring about the consequences this time because I wouldn't spend again my life with someone I didn't like. I didn't have anything against Deli Huseyin but person I wanted to be with was Kemankes.

"

What did you say?" Murad stood up being shocked after what I have said about Valide being possessive about Kemankes. I knew I made a trouble right now but I didn't care about anyone, but was at first place to myself because only that way I could get what I want.

"You heard me well, Murad. Why wouldn't Valide want me with Kemankes who is Grand Vizier?" I said to him hoping he would finally realise.

"Do you assume that Valide has some crush on Kemankes?" Murad asked me. I knew my answer would depend on everything right now and Murad only waited for a thing with which he could stop our Valide from having all of the power.

"I don't know Murad. I really don't know, and I hope she doesn't. But she is the one who forces you to marry me with Deli and you know that very well," I said and stopped for a second.

"You are Sultan of the whole world and can have any woman you wish for. We Sultanas by birth depend on your decision, and don't be the one who will turn lives of his sisters into hell," I said.

"What should that mean Naime? Are you going to act like Atike now and threat me with you killing yourself if I don't marry you who you want to?" He said and I didn't know when did he become like this.

"No, I won't do that. I won't threat with those things like Atike who would never do that. I would take my own life if I would be married to someone with who I would be unhappy," I said seriously and bowed to him wanting to leave the chambers.

"You will be married to Kemankes, I allow you," Murad said and at that moment everything felt more easy to me.

I left his chambers as I wanted to talk with Kemankes who was in his office after doctors allowed him to stand on his legs again. I came in front of them where was one of his helpers Kendal Agha.

"I am sorry, Sultanim, Grand Vizier is busy and he can't have anyone right now due to state issues," Kendal Agha said to me and I couldn't believe I would have to enter my future husband's chambers with someone's approval but I knew he had a lot of duties.

"Tell him I am here," I said to Kendal which seemed to be afraid of me and went quickly inside to look at him. He returned very soon but instead of opening the doors for me, he looked embarassed at the floor.

"Grand Vizier is very busy, you can come later," Kendal said and I didn't care anymore about his words but I entered inside. He was sitting at his table but I knew he doesn't have a lot of work as there weren't many papers to be done.

"I have to tell you something," I said to him but he didn't even bother to look at me and I didn't know what has happened that he behaved like this to me.

"I am busy," he said as he didn't want to look at me. I never even saw him behaving to someone and especially not to me.

"Have I done something wrong so you behave like this to me?" I asked him as I didn't know how should I feel at this moment. My emotions were mixed and he so quickly changed his personality and behaviour towards me into less than a day.

He stook up, leaving his work behind, and came in front of me. He had really angry look on his face.

"I feel betrayed, because you told me you cared for me, but all your words were lies," he said with a mix of sadness and anger which he knew how to show only in anger.

"And what have I done to betray you?" I said this time as I was even more serious and I needed very little to get angry which I didn't want to.

"You told me you loved me and cared for me, and then you meet with Deli Huseyin and accept his offer for marriage!" Kemankes said so angrily to me that a person would get afraid of him when he is so angry.

"Kemankes they made a trap for me. They told me I will see Murad and then he-" I wanted to say but he stopped me.

"I believed you and I really love you, but you betrayed me so much that I won't be able to get over this," he said not even listening to my words.

"So you will rather believe to lies of my mother than to me? I would never meet with any man secretly and especially not when I admitted to you how I feel. My Valide is against us and she has done everything to turn you against me, and I see she manipulated over you very well," I said as I didn't want to show him how hurt I was, because I was dying inside, but he shouldn't know that.

"I saw with my own eyes you being with him alone, I don't need any explanation on this Naime," he said to me and I couldn't stand this anymore. When I thought I would be the happiest because Murad allowed me to marry him, which he didn't even knew, he didn't believe me anymore and he probably doesn't even want me anymore. My world collapsed and I couldn't handle this anymore.

"Then believe to my mother not to me. You were the one lying you love me because if you loved me Kemankes, then you would believe to me. But I guess I am not the important one here," I said as I couldn't anymore hide my weakness and I knew I would either start crying or get so angry on him.

"Naime," he said as he stepped closer to me and placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Don't now, when you don't believe me. Go to my mother and believe her, when you think I did something wrong but did nothing wrong and you all blame me because of the game she played on me," I said as I was breaking inside myself. I just turned around and left his chambers being heartbroken and couldn't stand this anymore what my life was giving to me.

I left the chambers first time being hurt by someone I really started loving and hoped to have bright future and happy life. But obviously it wasn't meant for me to have happy life since always someone had to make some trouble which would destroy my happiness.


Kemankes knew he was wrong for behaving like this to Naime. He was not angry on her, but on his own way of acting. He didn't intend to hurt her, but he didn't know how to behave because Kosem on purpose wanted to turn him against Naime, who he really loved.

He knew he made a mistake, but he was worried if Naime would forgive him ever how he behaved towards her.

At first, he had some fear Naime actually liked Deli, and he felt hurt. He knew she didn't done that for real, but his heart was hurt by Kosem's word.

He knew he has to do something to make Naime forgive him about this, because he couldn't lose only person he ever loved.
