"I have seen once again Naime Sultana in the Summer Gardens. Later I saw Kemankes Pasha also there. Something is suspicious there to me, Sultana," Haci-aga said to Kosem Sultana when they were discussing in her chambers. Kosem didn't seem to like the fact her daughter talked with Kemankes.

"I won't allow them meeting, it's forbidden," Kosem said being really angry on her daughter what surprised Haci.

"But Sultanim, you know Naime Sultan will have to remarry. Maybe this is perfect opportunity for you to marry her with Kemankes and have even greater power as Grand Vizier would be your son-in-law? He is also your loyal man," Haci said to Kosem which was even more frustrated with his words. Haci was very surprised because he didn't expect Kosem to be against marrying her daughter with her loyal man which wouldn't make sense only if Kosem would have some emotions towards Kemankes who was few years younger than her but also those feelings were prohibited for her.

"I won't allow that. Kemankes is my loyal man and he is Grand Vizier and no one can take his position. Instead we should marry Naime with someone who she will turn into a loyal man for us so we have more people around ourselves," she said trying to hide her anger and how she would never let her daughter marry Kemankes.

Kosem want to involve herself really much into the marriages of her daughters and she wanted to be the one who choses their husbands. She married her daughter Ayse every time for a man she wanted to bond her with and make higher influence even though she was Valide Sultan. She had all the power, but she had fear what if Murad would turn against her. Then she would have to use all her loyal men to remove Murad from the throne and on his place throne Kasim as a new Sultan. But the problem was also Bayezid who was Gulbahar's son and he was very loved by the soldiers so he was also one of Kosem's fears.

"I am enough of Atike and Gevherhan fighting over Silahtar. I don't love Silahtar and I don't want to allow him to have any more power than he has now, and if he becomes my son-in-law, he will gain a lot of power," Kosem said once again angry and nervous as her daughters' loves made only problems to her.

Silahtar was very loyal to Murad and to no one else. He showed his respect towards Kosem, but she knew he wouldn't be ready to serve her rather than Murad and marrying one of her daughters for him wouldn't bring her any good instead one man who she couldn't get rid of because her daughters love him.

"Then who do you think about your potential son-in-law Sultanim? Only people who aren't loyal to you are Silahtar Pasha and Deli Huseyin Pasha, also Sinan Pasha but I really doubt about his loyality to anyone else," Haci said but Kosem didn't really listen a lot since she was occupied with the fact about Kemankes' and Naime's closeness and meets which she really didn't want to happen again.

"Atike, how are you?" I asked my sister as I entered her chambers and she seemed to be really happy after she saw me. I wanted to know more about their fight since Mehmed spent time with them and he was sad after that so I knew relationship between her and Gevherhan isn't really well anymore as it used to be.

"I am fine, but Gevherhan really made me angry. She wants to marry Silahtar and she says she won't be able to live without him and if Sultan doesn't allow her to be happy this time. I don't know why she thinks she has privilleges and she should chose because I want to be with Silhatar," Atike said with so much jealousity in her voice as she was always jealous on Gevherhan and she was really childish so this was nothing new from her.

She thought every time brother and mother would allow her to do whatever she wants because she is the youngest daughter and she is really spoiled because of all of that.

"We all know it's hard for Gevherhan after Murad killed her husband and left her son Selim fatherless. You shouldn't be angry on her because of that because you know she has never been the privilleged one," I said seriously to her as her smile dropped because she thought I would side with her in this situation but little much she knew how my heart was breaking every time I saw Gevherhan sad and I didn't want her to be sad.

"So you want to say I am the spoiled one who always got what she wanted?" Atike raised her eyebrows reminding me of our mother how she acted in this, but she understood me really well what I wanted to say.

"You are the only daughter which wasn't married off far away at young age and because of that you can't understand us who survived that. You are the lucky one and Ayse, Gevherhan and me would love to be at your place to await for your age to marry and even wish for who to marry what we couldn't have even said about," she seemed pretty upset about my speech but all I said was truth and she enjoyed privilege of living here with the family while we were with husbands thirty years older than us far away from home.

"So I should then say okay Gevherhan then Silahtar is yours because your husband was killed and you deserve to have whoever you want and I should be the one who would marry to someone old pasha? I would never do that because I have kind of authority and my brother and mother will listen to me and my word because I am not like other sisters including you," she hissed at me and I have never seen her like this but many time here made her even more spoiled so she thought she could get whatever she wanted.

"I have never said anything like this, Atike. I just want to say to you that maybe you should open your eyes and see for who of you two Silahtar has emotions and then you will see is it better to one to be married with a man who she loves and he loves her back, or to be married to a man who will love your sister for your whole life," I said with a fake smile and left her chambers going to the Gardens of the Palace where I knew I would see my mother.

Only a talk with Atike made me really nervous because I thought as she grows up she would become more mature but she was still childish and didn't see that Silahtar loves Gevherhan back and that they have really special connection, but she rather wanted to force everyone to marry her to Silahtar even though he doesn't care for her even a bit.

"Validem," I bowed to my mother as I came to the Gardens where she was together with Haci and I knew she expected me to have a serious conversation about my marriage.

"Naime, come here sit next to me, we must have a really serious conversation about your future and your marriage," Valide said and I was ready for a really manipulative talks where she would present some very old pasha about who she would have said so many beautiful things but at the end it would end like Kemal beating me.

"I only wish one thing from you Valide, whoever you marry me to I don't want that person to be thirty years elder than me because I want to spend my life with someone who is at least close to my age and not the same situation as with Kemal," I said showing her I am willing to marry because I couldn't run away from that and I knew Murad would allow me to at least agree at that marriage and to see the person first.

"I am glad you understand me. I have found exactly a man who is close to your age and is really loyal man to our Sultan, I can call him for you to meet him and then later you will tell me your opinion about him because at least I want you to agree about the marriage not having problems like with Atike and Gevherhan," she said and I really wondered who she has found as ideal husband for me and I knew there is a thing there because that for sure is someone who still ain't loyal to her so she must take that person to her side.

"I was just with Atike, she is sure you will marry her with Silahtar and you shouldn't hurt Gevherhan like this no matter what. Gevherhan deserves to be happy at least once in her lifetime," I said but she didn't even care much about Gevherhan's feelings as her behaviour after the execution of Topal Recep Pasha made Kosem angry on her.

"Murad will decide about Silahtar, but I don't think it's good if he marries any of my daughters. I don't want him to be in my family and there are many more respectful pashas than him," she said and looked at Haci who agrees with her on whatever she says and he is loyal to her and only to her.

"Who is the man you wish to marry me for?" I directly asked her as she was just prolonging this whole situation and I needed to know who is the one.

"His name is Deli Huseyin Pasha, he is very loyal to your brother. I wish for you to meet him first and then tell me your opinion about him before I tell this to your brother Sultan Murad."
