I woke up looking at the ceiling which was so decorated that I was confused where I am. I turned around to see Iskender laying down next to me and one his arm was wrapped around me as I fell asleep next to him. He was still sleeping and I looked at him and felt some kind of emotion which couldn't allow me to make anything bad to this man with who I spent the most beautiful night in my life.

I was so scared before going to him and when I met him all my fears stopped. How Davut and Dilruba described him in their stories Iskender seemed as the worst man on this planet while in reality he was nothing like this. I thought he would dismiss me right after we have spent night and that was weird to me how I stayed to sleep in his chambers. I didn't move a lot because I didn't want to wake him up.

I turned to look to him while we were covered by silk plate on his bed, and how innocent and kind he seemed to me. I remembered Dilruba's words when she said to me "whenever you find a special moment, the moment when no one could blame you, you should poison him", and this was one of moments like those but I couldn't allow myself to do it. I know I shouldn't even do it soon because the first they wanted from me was to gather information about him and what he plans to do with all other princes who were in Palace separated from their mothers. At that moment he started waking up and when he saw me he immediately smiled to me.

"Good morning my beuatiful Bezmialem," he said as he pulled me closer to him and kissed my forehead gently and wrapped me in hug with his arms.

"Good morning, Your Majesty," I said and smiled to him until our lips met once again and kissed gently.

Iskender quickly got up without a word and I didn't know what is happening. I started to dress as I knew I should leave now, but he just went to tell something to his servants that were standing in front of the doors.

"We will have a breakfast together," Iskender said when I finally dressed up in another dress maids prepared to me. I looked at myself in his mirror while I was correcting my dress and he came behind me and hugged me and hissed my neck.

"I never felt so happy like with you," I said and smiled looking at two of us hugged in the mirror which made instant smile on his face.

"I will tell you the truth that I feel the same way. You have something so special in yourself that I have never seen in any woman before," Iskender said and I turned to him to kiss him once again but servants stopped us as they started to bring in the breakfast.

"Place it on the terrace, I want us to eat there," Iskender said and my look turned to the beautiful terrace of his chambers. He put his hand in front of me in which I put my hand and we walked to his terrace.

Before sitting down I couldn't stop myself but to go at the edge of it and see the beautiful view it gave. Whole Istanbul and even furthermore was seen from there, all the Bosphorus and everything.

"You like the view?" Iskender asked me when the servants finally left.

"It is so beautiful, I have never seen something like this since I was very young," I said as we sat around the table where the breakfast was served. There was so plenty of food on the table that I have never seen so much in my life before.

"I want to know everything about you, where are you from, how did you get here to me when I needed you the most," Iskender said and he couldn't stop smiling next to me and he was so happy which made me also happy but at the same time hurted my heart because I knew I should get into his heart and later do something bad, but I couldn't.

"I am Venetian. My name was Valeria, I lived there until I was 7 when they captured me and killed my family, my father, mother and brother died in front of my eyes," I said and my heart hurt at those memories who I remember like it was yesterday.

"Then they brought me here to Istanbul Slavery market together with so many girls, I had luck because one woman, Sadiye Hanim, bought me and raised me in her household, I will be always thankful to her," I continued.

"I am sorry for what has happened to you," Iskender said.

"That was long time ago, but many times those scenes come to my dreams. I see my parents dying in front of my eyes, my elder brother also. Sadiye Hanim always gave me lot of attention to make me forget those bad scenes, but I couldn't. I was only 7 years old when I stayed an orphan without any family," my heart hurt only by telling those words.

"I want you to feel here like home, and I will make anything to make you happy not to get sad any more time. You are so beautiful and your eyes are so special, I don't want to look at them filled with tears," Iskender said as he removed the tears which started going down my eyes.

His words made me cry because never in my life no one behaved like this to me. I have never heard so beautiful words that were said to me, never.

"I can feel you because I always had a dark past," he said.

"What happened?" I asked him. I knew there was something complicated, but Davut never explained to me well and I knew I should pretend I have no idea about all those things.

"When my brother late Sultan Mehmed Khan ascended the throne, he gave to kill all of his twenty brothers. I was only four years old then. My mother has sent me to Balkan lands to save me, but she has lost all of the connection with me. I lived in Austrian lands, not knowing who I am for my whole life. Only thing I knew is that my family lives in Istanbul, so I joined janissaries to meet my family, and I found out after so many years I am Safiye Sultan and late Sultan Murad Khan's son," Iskender said.

"When Sultan Ahmed died, I had no idea I will be the one to get on the Ottoman Throne, and that is why many people hate me when they don't believe I am actual Ottoman," Iskender said and his face didn't have a smile anymore.

"You shouldn't care what other people think about you when I am sure you will rule this Empire on the best possible way. Around the people there are always some gossips because they have nothing better to do so they must talk bad about someone who is good," I said and he got a slight smile on his face.

"But you know, sometimes I wish I did not find my family. I wish I didn't know I am Ottoman Prince, because this way my life is in danger by every moment," he said and looked at me. Before I could say anything to him, someone entered the terrace.

"Your Majesty, Ambassador came and wants to meet you, also Divan is expecting for you," a man said and bowed to him.

"Sure, Zulfikar Pasha, I will come now," Iskender said and got up and I did together with him.

"I am sorry to leave you but I have state jobs," Iskender said kissing my forehead.

"It doesn't matter, you should be good in those state jobs to show to those ones who talk bad of you how actually good and successful you are," I said, bowed to him and left his chambers going back to Harem.

I walked alone through all of these hallways of Harem until I saw a woman walking closer to me. She seemed like a kalfa but I have never seen her.

"Bezmialem, I am Miran Kalfa. Davut Pasha has said to you about me," she said and then I realised who she was so I just nodded as I was afraid someone might see me with her.

"Did you take the pills so you won't get pregnant?" She asked me and at that time I remembered I should actually take them, which actually I didn't. I didn't even think about that because I forgot it.

"I did," I lied to her quickly at which she just nodded and left to another way.
