"Deli Huseyin is obviously not loyal to my Valide and that's why she's wanting to marry me for him," I said to Nur which was my most loyal maid for my whole life and she was with me in Egypt and helped me to get rid of Kemal and I knew I could trust her hundred percent.

"Amber wanted to find out what is happening, but Haci is always somewhere around him. Your mother took care of all the details to make sure you can't be informed about this topic I guess," Nur said and I knew she was right.

Something bothered me in this whole topic with my mother because usually she married us off to someone really loyal to her while now she has chosen someone who she wanted to become loyal to her. I knew if it's someone who is not loyal to her then I also would have troubles if there would have been any problems because I remember many times with Kemal I could do what I wanted because he was trebling at the mention of my mother as he was so afraid of her.

I didn't really wish to marry especially not somewhere far away once again. I wanted to be here in Istanbul because here was my home and my family and I didn't want to spend my time somewhere else where I would be alone in the hell of the palace probably with a husband I couldn't stand once again.

But what I knew was that this time I wouldn't endure cheating like I did the last time. I didn't care if Kemal had another women because I didn't love him and I didn't care for his alcoholism, but now I had to make sure about my own pride and whatever would happen now the first thing I would ask for would be a divorce not myself killing the husband just to get rid of him.

"Maybe you should ask Deli Huseyin to meet with him so you can find out who he is really. Sultana you will for sure read him very well the first moment you see him and know immediately if he would suit you well or not," Nur said helping me fix my dress but I didn't want at this moment to meet him really as I wasn't interested in that but rather would before find out something myself alone about him.

"I don't want to do that. You see how Ayse reacted when I met Kemankes now she will start gossiping about me around the Palace. And if Sultan hears about Huseyin maybe he will think I want to marry him and make that decision fast and I won't have a power of agreeing with that," they agreed with my words.

"Sultanim, then in case it would be best for you to ask Kemankes Kara Mustafa Pasha about that. He for sure would know whatever you wish to know about your possible fiancée," Amber said and I felt somehow weird when he mentioned his name and I didn't know why.

If my mother would have suggested a marriage with Kemankes I must admit I wouldn't be against it because I felt something in his presence that I have never felt in my life before. But I didn't want to think about that much because I knew I shouldn't feel the way I feel around him when he is just a loyal man to my mother and Grand Vizier.

"I don't understand how your mother haven't asked you to marry Kemankes Pasha, he is Grand Vizier and that would be the best for so respected Sultana like you are," Amber Agha said and I was questioning myself the same question for the whole time and it was obvious something only my mother knew when she haven't done something like it.

I dressed up and went outside of my chambers. I wanted to spend some time with Gevherhan and I wanted to know if she knows anything about the man mother wants me to marry with because she was here for longer time than I was and knows more things. I didn't even want to talk with Atike about those things.

"Gevherhan," I said as I entered her chambers and she smiled when she saw me but deep in her eyes I saw some sadness in her eyes and I knew the reason for that was the man I couldn't stand – Silahtar.

"I don't want to look your eyes filled with sadness because of Silahtar, he is not worth of your sadness and your tears my dear sister," I said as I touched her face.

"He is not the reason of my sadness, but everyone else. Valide and Murad who would rather marry him with Atike than with me. Their only goal is to make her happy while no one in this Palace cares even a bit how I feel expect for you," she said not being able to hold her tears in front of me and I took her into a hug.

"I really have emotions for Silahtar and I want to spend my life with him. I would rather die than to let them marry me once again for someone they chose," she couldn't stop crying and I understood it must be hard for her in this situation especially after losing a husband she loved.

But what I couldn't understand her were those big emotions she had towards him as I never felt something so strong towards a man before because I had no time – they married me off when I was still young and couldn't look at anyone beside my dirty old husband.

"Everything will be fine Gevherhan. I will try to talk with Murad and make sure he knows what decision he is making. There is no sense of him not letting to marry two people who love eachother," I said while I was still hugging her.

"You are the only one who cares for me, I will always owe you everything my sister and whatever you need I will always be ready to help you," she said as she hugged me back. She together with Ayse was the sister who I loved so much and I have never felt this sister love towards Atike, maybe because she was much younger than me or because she was so spoiled that I couldn't stand her.

"I actually wanted to ask you a thing if you know about Deli Huseyin Pasha," she seemed confused on my question as she obviously didn't expect me to ask anything about him nor me knowing about him.

"He is one of the closest people to brother Murad, but he isn't on very well terms with our Valide so I don't know a lot. Why do you ask?" She already had some suspicion but in a good way because Gevherhan was so innocent, maybe even too innocent for this evil world around her.

"Valide said he would be the best one for me to marry with, so that's why I wanted to know," I said and sighed as I knew I was right about the situation Valide wanted to do this just so she could get one more man closer to her.

"Why will you allow them to marry you for someone you don't have feelings for?" She asked.

"Because there is no person that I have feelings for," I said.

"Even when I mention you a person who you have feelings for, no one comes into your mind?" She asked.

"No," I said even though weird emotion caught me as the only person who came to my mind immediately was Kemankes and I would have to get rid of those thoughts in my head.




"Deli Huseyin Pasha, I must have a serious conversation with you," Kosem Sultana said as she was sitting under her tent which she used for official meetings with statesmen in the gardens of the Palace. Together with her was Haci Agha together with many other officers who kept Valide Sultan safe always.

"Have I done anything wrong, Sultanim?" Deli Huseyin asked as he bowed to Valide Sultan with who he has never been in a very good relationship with. Kosem asked him many times if he would work for her, but he always declined her excusing himself that he only works to Sultan Murad and will be always and only loyal to him always which made the Valide Sultan angry on him.

"You haven't done yet, but if you decline my offer then you will do it wrong," Kosem said seriously and Haci gave her a smirk. Kosem exactly knew what to do to bring everyone on her side and for her whole tenure whoever she threated would come to her side immediately, so she didn't expect people to stand against her or to decline her offers.

"What is your offer, Valide Sultanim?" Deli Huseyin asked her still not even looking at her as he showed her his respect this way. He thought she would once again ask him to be her loyal man and he was ready to decline it immediately because he swore he would work only for one and only Sultan Murad Khan and no one else.

"I offer you to marry my daughter Naime Sultan and then I will promote you into the Grand Divan to have more power as a Second Vizier, but back from you I only want your loyality and your word," Kosem said.

Huseyin was silent for few seconds. He knew Kosem will ask him for him to be loyal to her, but little much she expected from him to marry her daughter which he didn't even know and didn't know anything about her, but he knew he wouldn't do it because it wasn't Naime Sultan's wish but just Kosem's plan to get more people by her side.

"I am sorry Sultanim, but since you said this is an offer it means I have the right not to accept it and then I am not accepting it. I won't do it because I swore to my loyality to Sultan Murad Khan and if he would ask me to do this I would agree, but I won't get involved in your games," Deli said seriously and looked at Kosem who's reaction was much more agressive than everyone has expected.

She immediately got up from her throne not being able to hide her anger and shock how he could decline her in front of ten people who were around and she was Valide Sultana and her word should have been the most powerful here.


"Who do you think you are here to decline the opportunity to marry Ottoman Sultana which you get only once in your lifetime? Men can only dream that Naime would look at them or know about them but you dare to decline offer to marry her, such a shame on you," Kosem yelled on Deli with all her might not caring if anyone else around would hear what is she telling.

"I repeat to you once again Sultana if this was Sultan Murad Khan's wish I would do it with no thinking, and even if Naime Sultana only wished to marry me who would I be to decline that of course I would accept, but this is just your game and you want an ally while your son is at the throne to play around your games in which I won't taking part," Deli said and he was proud at his words because he knew whatever he has said was true and he didn't do anything wrong in telling her this.

"You will regret the day you were born, you just have written your death sentence," Kosem yelled with all her might on Huseyin who didn't really care about the thing she was speaking.

"If that is what you think I deserve, then I will accept only if Sultan Murad orders my death, otherwise I will fight untill I die," Deli said before Haci signalised him to go away because it was easily seen that Kosem was so annoyed as no one ever dared to speak like this with her any time before.
