Today was the last day here and i was grateful about it , i couldn't resist staying here anymore . I had finally managed to bring Fahriye with me after agreeing with Mahidevran sultan . I have sent Maria to be with my brother after the wedding

" This palace was the source of my sadness you know that ?" Mahidevran sultan told me as we walked by the harem , i could sense pure sadness in her eyes .

" I was abondoned by the love of my life and had to raise Mustafa alone , he was deprived from a normal childhood like his other siblings" i listened to her speak about her life and i enjoyed listening to her .

" Was it hard to leave everything behind" i asked making her turn around and give me a smile , a faint one and without uttering a word i could sense her feelings .

" It was difficult for mustafa but for me , i threw my heart in a well and closed that chapter of my life . Mustafa in contrary was only driven by sadness and wanted to leave because of me and to not see me cry ever again . He didn't want to leave by his own will but i am glad we did" I knew this part , as mustafa already told me about him and his mother leaving at such young age .

" We will make sure you return here as a valide sultan and god will compensate you for all the years you've spent away" she looked up and stayed focused on whatever or whoever was there , i followed her gaze and there i saw Hurrem sultan standing next to her daughter and her son selim's concubine which name i forgot .

" Look at their eyes , full of hatred and envy" Mahidevran sultan whispered to me not looking away from them " looking at us like they own the place" she started to get more irritated at them .

" Come on sultana , we're going to be late" i put my hand on her forearm and she finally looked away from them and continued walking away , we arrived infront of our carriage and i saw Mustafa in a distance with Yahya and two other men he introduced me to before .

I walked towards him making them walk away to leave us both alone , " Did you take precautions ? please don't tell me you didn't" i asked .

" I did , now i am sure they will either ambush us , thus i will send yavuz on a seperate road and disguise him as me until we arrive to Amasya . I will go on a seperate way and see if they fall into the trap , I want you to act a little bit if they attack yavuz so it looks more credible " I liked the idea but it was dangerous , it might lead to Yavuz's death or his .

" Stay safe Mustafa , i don't want anything bad to happen to you" i tried to look neutral so no one suspects his plan , i supposed he didn't tell this to his mother so she doesnt grow worried .

" Take care of yourself and my mother and i will see you in Amasya" he called yavuz and bid me goodbye , i got inside the carriage along with Mahidevran sultan and her servant Fidan and Fahriye .

We set off and i couldn't help but think about mustafa , we were set to stop after some time so they can execute their plan and i grew worried that something will happen to him .

After some time we felt that our carriage stopped and i assumed that they have already started their plan , Mahidevran sultan was confused on why we stopped but i had to tell her so that she doesn't panic if the attack happens .

I explained the plan to her and she looked surprised at first but later she complied and knew that this was mainly for Mustafa's safety . We kept going for a long time until our carriage stopped indicating that something was wrong , i knew it .. we both knew that rustem and hurrem sultan would plot something like this .

" Protect Sehzade mustafa and the sultanas" the guards started yelling and i could hear loud footsteps and the guards fighting with swords .

" We have lost our prince" as i heard this i knew it was our time to make them believe that they have hit their target Mustafa , I opened the door and saw Yavuz laying face on the floor , the poor guy probably lost his life .

" Mustafa" i ran towards Yavuz who was on the floor and the guards that were sent by rustem started running away from us leaving the presumed Mustafa laying on the floor . " These devils have done it.." Atmaca said while trying to shake Yavuz to check if he was alive .

He turned him around so he was now facing us , blood leaked through his clothes but his eyes were still open " I am glad i could die for Sehzade Mustafa" he worded weakly , his words were barely heard but we could hear him well .

" May god forgive his sins .. Atmaca take him with us to Amasya , he should be burried there" I said standing up from the floor , the guards started to evacuate the road and moving Yavuz away .

I couldn't believe what happened still , if Mustafa haven't thought of a plan like this he would've be dead long ago and i would've lost him forever . Mahidevran sultan was watching everything from the window and her face dropped when she saw me .

" I can't believe they thought about doing this .. i am tired and exhausted of their games" I sat down and answered " We should report this to his majesty , they can't get away with this"

" What do you think will happen ? They would kill all of the ones that attacked us just to not ruin their image in his majesty's eyes" she answered dissapointed as she calculated what his majesty's reaction to this will be .

" we will catch something about them sultana , don't worry" i said as the carriage finally started moving , i kept thinking about this situation for so long and hoped that Mustafa has arrived safely to Amasya .



3rd person POV

Stella has arrived to Amasya accompanied by her mother in law safely , and the first thing she did was ensure that Mustafa has arrived safely . Seeing Yahya confirmed it for her , they all stepped out of the carriage and her new home finally came in sight .

" We got the news sultana , i am glad you are safe" Yahya bowed down to them and they both nodded in union " The precautions should be more severe Yahya , now that we are one step closer to the throne , you can never know what can happen to his majesty in the campaign" Yahya agreed with his sultana .

" Don't worry about that sultana , it is my main duty and i will ensure his highness is always in good health" Mahidevran grabbed her daughter in law's arm and guided her inside the palace . All the concubines lined up to greet their new sultana , she looked at them and realised that they were much fewer than in the other palace .

She then was introduced to her new room by Fidan Hatun , she admired it as it looked just like the one from the other palace yet she didn't question the fact that she couldn't stay with Mustafa in the same room even though they were married .

After the long trip and after knowing that Mustafa went to inspect the janissary barracks she went to sleep to ease her body and mind after everything that had happened , simultaneously her maid Fahriye was unpacking her sultana's stuff and meeting other girls who were also assigned to her highness .

Fahriye was hanging her sultana's dress quietly while she slept peacefully trying to gain some energy back , she stopped doing whatever she was doing when the door revealed Mustafa stepping in quietly .

" Is she sleeping ?" he asked Fahriye as he was peaking at his wife's figure "yes your highness" she answered him " should i wake her up?" he raised his hand to stop her and dismissed her .

After she took her leave , he approached his wife and sat by the edge of her bed , admiring her . He thought to himself how many mountains and people they had to cross just so they can be together and it was the second time he asked his father for something and agreed .

He looked at her like she was the most precious and perfect woman in the universe , he put his hand on her cheek and pushed some strands of her hair away . " How beautiful" he whispered careful not to wake her up . But he was surprised when she opened her eyes

" Mustafa" she mumbled as she opened her eyes to find him sitting next to her . He smiled at her reaction " I'm here" he whispered to her and she moved a little bit so she can sit down .

" I was worried about you , i can't even imagine what could've happened if that person was you and not Yavuz . " Do you think i would throw myself to the wolves ? i know what they are capable of don't worry" he put his hands on her cheeks to raise her head a bit .

" I hope you liked your new palace , just order and i will build you the most beautiful palace in the entire world"

"Being with you is enough for me" she grabbed his hand and put it in hers ." How did the meeting with the janissaries go ?" she asked curious about what he did earlier .

" I went to supervise them and they're ready to join the campaign , i hope they don't embarrass me infront of my father" she laughed at his statement because she knew how much of a perfectionist he was .

" I am sure as long as you're the one in charge they will shine brightly just like you" before he could answer her , someone knocked in the door .

Mustafa looked at the door and gave the permission for whoever was behind it to come in , it was one of the aghas .

"Your highness , his majesty has sent you a gift" Mustafa eyed down the agha and looked at the box that was behind him .

" Come in" He stood up and walked towards the aghas to inspect what was going on "Bring it to my room" he ordered them making them turn around and leave .

" That is a great step from your father , is it for something or ?" Stella asked him as she got up from her bed " maybe it is a wedding gift" it made sense that he would receive something from his. father .

" I will go and see what's inside" his wife nodded and let him leave to his own room giving her time to dress up and koi him

The box was delivered back to his room and Yahya opened it revealing the most beautiful caftan his eyes has ever seen.

" The fabric is very soft your highness" yahya made the remark and opened it so mustafa can try it on .

His mother stepped inside when she heard that something came from the capital , she looked at Yahya and at mustafa then at the caftan .

" Did your father finally remember that he has a son named mustafa ?" she mocked while she stared at the gift .

Stella then stepped inside as promised and saw them standing there looking at Yahya

" Did any of you try it on ?" Mahidevran sultan asked them both but none of them approved .

" Have someone wear it , you never know my lion" Mahidevran sultan continued as her suspicions grew, Mustafa exchanged looks with his wife and Yahya .

" Do you think my father is going to try and kill me ? he can never do that to me mother please stop" he snapped back at his mom trying to make himself believe his own words .

" Your mother is right Mustafa , give it to someone else to try so we are at peace" His wife suggested and he just couldn't believe that his father would do something like this .

" His majesty once received a poisoned caftan from his father when he was a prince" what his mother said made him grow even more worried about his own well being .

The guard who brought the gift was called in inside and stood next to Yahya

" Wear it" Mustafa ordered the man who looked at everyone confused " Forgive me about my question but why is that" he immediately got silenced by Stella .

"How dare you talk back , Wear it" the agha got startled and grabbed the caftan and started putting it on .

All pair of eyes in that room were on him especially mustafa who was eager to know as much as he didn't believe his father could do something like this .
