" Where have you been for all of this time? I've searched the whole harem, but I haven't seen you." I saw Esmahan who was sitting on the sofa in my chambers who was waiting for me all the time while I was with Murad.

" I've been on fresh air, I can't stand this Palace anymore. I feel like living in hell here. " I said to her as I sat next to her on sofa in my chambers.

" Sister, I wanted to talk with you about something. That will help us both to get rid of this Palace. " Esmahan said to me happily. I was wondering what kind of idea she has on her mind.

" I am listening to you." I said to her.

" We should find suitable husbands before Mahfiruz Sultana finds them for us. We should chose someone we love and tell it to our brother Sultan. He would listen to us." she said to me while smiling a lot.

" Who do you have on your mind?" I asked her coldly which stopped her smile, as she saw I didn't like this idea a lot. And I didn't.

" I would like to marry with Kapudan Murat Pasha. I saw that he came to the Palace today, and he is even more handsome than ever. " Esmahan said as she blushed when she mentioned Murad.

I couldn't believe my sister would like to marry man which I also wanted to marry. Kapudan Murad Pasha was man who was loyal to me, and I knew he had emotions for me. He wouldn't get anything in his favour by marrying Esmahan.

" I don't like that idea." I said to her coldly but still trying to give her some smile so she couldn't even think that there is something between Murad and me.

" Is that because there is no one you like or you don't want Murad near me?" she asked me as she raised her eyebrow suspiciously looking at me.

" There is no man I like. I don't find it suitable to marry yet." I said to her giving her a fake smile.

The next day I woke up and I arranged Musa to find me a carriage which would take me to the Old Palace. I needed to see my mother and talk with people that are involved in my plan of sabotaging Suleyman. I couldn’t let any more time, I needed to work on plan well.

I walked towards the carriage with Musa when I saw familiar man standing there and waiting for us. It was Iskender.

" What should this mean?" I asked him as I couldn't believe what is he doing near my carriage.

" Sultan ordered me to go with you. He said the road is full of bandits, and he doesn't want anything bad to happen to you. That's why he wants me to take care of you. " Iskender said seriously to me.

The things were just worse and worse. I had to meet with people who were working against Mehmed, and now he is sending Iskender with me?

" I would feel safe with Musa, it's not important for you to go. " I said to him as I stepped into the carriage together with Musa and closed the door so he couldn't come in.

" I must go with you and protect you. Those are Sultan's orders. I wouldn't do that if he wouldnt order me to do. " Iskender said with a smirk as he came and sat next to Musa into the carriage.

" You see, there is no bandits here. You can leave. We can return safely home. " I said to him when we came in front of Old Palace.

" I will wait for you here, in front of Palace." he said to me. I couldn’t stand how he didn't listen to my orders.

I came onto the Palace and saw my mother Dilruba Sultan standing there. I ran onto her hug as faster I could. Oh God, how I missed my mother.

" Valide, words couldn't explain how I missed you." I said to her while I was hugging her.

" My Handan, my love. Everyone is waiting for you. Come with me." she said to me and I followed her to the private part of the Palace where there were no servants.

I came into the chambers where were standing Kapudan Murad Pasha and Ali Suleyman Pasha. They bowed to me as I came in, and Murad gave me beautiful smile, but not showing it too much so my mother couldn't realise it.

" Sultana, we are ready to start preparations for the plan of dethroning Sultan Mehmed from the throne." Ali Suleyman Pasha, which was hiding from Mehmed said to me.

As Mehmed knew Ali Suleyman was involved with Osman, he was searching for him and wanted to punish him. But Ali Suleyman was a smart man and hid himself so no one could ever find him.

" But I wonder one thing, who would ascend the Ottoman throne if we dethrone Mehmed? He is last male Ottoman heir." Ali Suleyman asked me confusedly as he didn't know the whole plan, as he was absent lately.

" We have a person who is from Ottoman blood, person who is loved by the people and person who is intelligent enough to rule over this magnificent Empire." Murad said proudly and looked at me with egde of his eye.

" But that is Handan Sultana?" Ali Suleyman said as he was confused by everything that is happening now.

" You heard well, Ali Suleyman. I am an Ottoman heir who could rule this magnificent Empire." I said to him as I raised my head.

" But Sultana, how do you plan to make that plan into reality? For almost 300 years there were only male Sultans. The world has never seen a female Sultana. " Ali Suleyman said to me worriedly for my plan.

" Who said things can't change? I may become the first one. Look at England, they had Queen Elizabeth. Why couldn't Ottoman Empire have its Sultana Handan? " I asked him as I had very proud smile on my face.

" You shouldn't worry much about that plan, all Efendis and lawyers are still loyal to me. We could easily write a new rule, because we couldn't let the Dynasty fall." my mother Dilara said. She was very influential woman in politics since she came to the Palace.

" But there is one thing that needs to be done before you ascending the throne, Sultana. You should marry and have male heir." Kapudan Murad Pasha said to me giving me a smile.

" And that's why I will find suitable husband and have a male heir. And I should do it before Mehmed gets heir." I said to them.
