"Nema."

I turned my head toward the Sultana and went over, bowing a bit. "Yes, my Sultana?"

"My tongue is craving something sweet. Tell the kitchen to prepare me something good--and do not be late this time." Mahidevran warned me. 

I curtsied before I backed out of the room and hurried off to the kitchen. I wasn't paying attention as I made a sharp turn around the corner and smacked plum again into someone. I fell down with a grunt as I started to just blabber my mouth away. "Watch where you're going you prat!"

I immediately recoiled as I realized it was Prince Mustafa I had run into. "Prince Mustafa--" the guards came over to me and picked both of my arms up each and hauled me off of the ground. My heart leapt in my chest as I could feel fear instilling in me. "Let go of me--"I tried to pull away but they held on tighter which made me more insecure. "LET GO." I screamed.

Mustafa was watching me for a few moments before he held his hand up and the guards dropped me. "You have a lot of nerve for calling a royal member such words. You can have your tongue cut out."

"And you have a lot of nerve for standing there and being ignorant! "I snapped back at him as I went to pass him, my shoulder knocking his as I stuck my nose in the air proudly like Gulsä did.

I got stopped abruptly when he grabbed my arm, and my brown eyes met his. "Unhand me." I said directly to him.

Amusement danced in his eyes as he seen how serious I was being in the moment with him.

She is a very funny thing indeed. I was surprised when no one has thrown her out of the palace yet, unless she has learned her lessons. The fire in her eyes showed me she wasn't someone you could easily hush--but someone who could have reigned over her own country if she wanted to.

"Whose Handmaid are you? Hurrem's or my mothers?"I asked curiously.

"Mahidevran's. Now can I go?"she asked me impatiently. "Your mother will have me thrown out if I do not fetch her sweets." I let go of her and watched her leave me, before she disappeared around the corner.

"I think I'll pay my mother a visit."
