" Why did it last so long? I am waiting for you for hours." annoyed Iskender said when I finally came out of the Old Palace.

Outside it was almost dark, and I left Topkapi while it was still morning.

" That is why I told you that you can return to Palace. You shouldn't have waited for me." I said to him seriously.

Of course it was too much for me the whole day in Old Palace, but there was a lot of themes I had to talk with my mother and Murad and Ali Suleyman. The truth is, I wanted to annoy Iskender even more.

" It' s late, you should get into the carriage and we should hurry up to Topkapi Palace. There are a lot of bandits at night." he said to me as he tried to make the things go a lot faster.

I came into the carriage together with Musa, and Iskender was sitting opposite of me. I knew this trip will last for around the hour, and I couldn't even speak with Musa about something, because I knew Iskender would tell all of that to Mehmed.

At one moments, the carriage stopped. Iskender opened the window to see what is going on.

" Aghas, why did you stop? I said to you we should hurry, not to make pauses." Iskender yelled at the man which was riding the horse and drove our carriage.

I actually liked his charachter, I saw he is could and can get angry easily. He reminded me of myself alone. Too bad he wad on Mehmed's side, because he is my enemy then too.

" This way is blocked, Pasha. We have to go another way. It won't be safe to go here." Agha said to us which made me annoyed.

" Then you should unblock this way, we have to get to the Palace quickly." Iskender yelled at them.

" But it won’t be safe." agha said to us as he seemed really worried about that way.

" Do what is told to you, unblock the way." I yelled on him which made Iskender look at me for a moment.

Agha listened to me and went to unblock the way. I didn't know if that was smart move, but I couldn't stand being any more with Iskender in the same carriage.

Agha continued with carriage on that way, but at few minutes he again stopped. Iskender and I were both annoyed.

" Agha, why did you stop again?" Iskender came out of the carriage to ask him, but at that moment, another man came to the carriage.

" You are a Sultana, you are rich." he said and took my hand strongly and took me away from carriage. Those were bandits that agha was afraid of.

As he was pulling me outside, I saw dead body of agha lying on the floor. I screamed because this time I was afraid for my life and what would happen.

Two bandits came around Iskender and took him, and another one came and took Musa, while the other one was searching the carriage to see if there is any worth inside.

" Iskender. Watch out." I yelled as I saw a man with a sword coming from his back. At that moment, Iskender punched bandits which were holding him and took his sword.

Bandit which was holding me hold my hands so strongly that it hurted me so much, I tried to run from him, but everything he was doing was punching me if I tried to ran away.

Iskender took a sword and attacked the bandit which went with sword for him. After some minutes, Iskender knocked bandit's sword and stabbed his sword inside him.

At the minute bandit which was holding me didn't look for me, but was shocked what is happening, I ran away from him and took bandit's sword which was lying on the ground.

I took it and came to bandit which was holding Musa. I would never give someone ability to touch Musa as I loved him so much.

Bandit ran away from me as he was scared, but at that moment, another ones came. Each of them had a sword. Two bandits came at me, and two at Iskender.

As I was walking back, I came to the point that my and Iskender's back are touching themselves as we were pointing swords to the bandits.

Musa tried to pick up their attention, and then one bandit came at me with a sword. I did whatever I knew and kicked him on the floor and took his sword.

With two swords in my hand I got rid of another one of bandits, and saw Iskender defeated his ones too.

" Sultana, run, we must get to the Palace before more of them come for us." Iskender said and at that moment I left swords on the floor as I realised they can't help me anymore.

Musa followed me and we started running, even though my shoes weren't suitable for this ground and it was hard to run in them.

At one moment, I stepped onto a rock and fell. I heard someone is going from my back and I saw even more bandits.

I tried to stand on my legs, but I couldn't. My leg hurted me so much and it was all covered in blood.

" Iskender. Help me." I yelled at him as I was almost at the egde of the tears. I was afraid of bandits. I was afraid if they would kill me.

Iskender was far away from me, but he returned to me even if that meant he is going closer to bandits.

He came closer to me, but before he did anything he took his sword and went to fight with those another bandits.

I was laying on the ground at the edge of the tears because I can't move and I could have been killed at any moment.

In less than few minutes, Iskender killed them all. He came closer to me and he looked really afraid for me.

" Sultana, are you fine?" he asked me softly as he gently removed part of my dress to see how my foot is.

" I am not, it hurts me so much." I said to him and almost started crying, even though I didn't want to cry in front of him.

" Sultana, I think you broken a leg. We need to get nurse immediatley." he said to me as he was gently checking how my leg was.

He took me in his hands in bridal style, and continued to walk like that, with me in his hands, all the way to the Palace.
