Tommorow I decided to meet Kemankeş-paşa. I haven't seen Murad in few days and I honestly didn't care how he will react about this. He was occupated with state jobs, and I had to be occupated with future of my children. I wanted only good to them, and having Kemankeş-paşa by my side could give me a lot of benefit.

I walked towards the Gardens and I saw he is already there. He was standing turned to me with his back.

I came closer and he heard my steps and turned around and bowed to me.
- Sultana, I didn't except you would like to meet me. - he said and smiled to me.

- I didn't except I will have to also, but I must talk with you about something important. - I told him and gave a little smile, at least not to look arrogant already at the beggining.

- I wonder what's its about. - he told me and gave me a mysterious look. I looked him directly in eyes and I couldn't do it for too long, because he had some mysterious and intrigant vibe. I tried not to look him.

- I wanted to ask you what are your plans for the future. Do you always want to be out of Divan? - I asked him trying not to show at beggining my plan.

- Well, I am happy with my situation now. If Sultan decides I am suitable to be member of Divan one day, I would be happy with that decision and thankful to him. - he smiled to me.

- Everyone would like to be a part of Divan, maybe even a Grand Vizier one day. - I gave him a intrigant look.

- What do you want to say with that? - he asked me and seemed even more mysterious then.
- I could help you to achieve those things one day, but first, I need to know some things. - I told him.

- What things do you need to know? - he asked me.
- I need to know if one day something happens to our Sultan, which Prince would you support to get to the throne? - I asked him and raised my head.

- Who I am to decide which Prince should ascend the throne? - he questioned me rhetorically.
- Not who you would decide to, but support to. - I said.

- I am not sure which one, because there are a lot of Princes. - he told me which annoyed me at first moment. Why wasn't Kemankeş opened? He was really closed and I had to grab words from him.

- I want you to be direct, Kemankeş. - I smiled to him, kinda fake.
- You are mother of lot of Princes, I dont know which one I could support. - he smiled to me.

- I want to know, if you would support one of my sons, or some other princes? - I was direct and asked him.

- I would never support Prince Suleyman because he has a lot of influence of Atike Sultana and Silahtar-paşa. As you may know, they are not only your enemies, but also mines. - he told me.
- And what about Prince Ahmed? - I asked him.

- Prince Ahmed may be tallented, but with bad ambitious and wrong ways of his mother, he would never be successful. - he told me and I liked his answer.
- Good. - I told him and looked at another side.

- But you know while Silahtar-paşa is Grand Vizier, the throne is prepared for Prince Suleyman? - he asked me.
- Silahtar-paşa won't be a grand vizier for more. - I smiled to him.

- So those are your plans? - he asked me very mysteriously.
- Kemankeş, I came here with a plan. I need to know if you will be by my side, or against me? - I asked him for the last time.

- I will be by your side, Sultana. - he told me and smiled to me. I couldn't look at him while smiling or looking at me because I've felt very weird. I couldn't explain that feeling to me. I didn't know why I am even thinking of that.

- So I have proposition to you. If you marry my daughter Huricihan, I will make you Grand Vizier even before you could think about that. - I told him waiting for his reaction.

- If its your wish, I am honored with that. - Kemankeş bowed to me.
- But I don't want my daughter to be sad. I except from you to threat her good and love her. - I told him.

- But you haven't asked me if I maybe have my emotions growing towards somebody else? - he asked me mysteriously which shocked me at that moment.
- What do you want to say with that? - I asked him confusedly.

- Nothing, better to forget that. - he said and laughed a bit.

I stepped a bit towards him and looked him directly in eyes.
- You should be honored to marry a Sultana. Kemankeş, if you do anything against me after this, I will destroy you. - I told him.

- There won't be need for that, Sultana. I didn't mean any bad. I am honored to marry a Sultana and I promise you I won't do anything to disappoint you. - he said to me this time without laughing.

- Great. I will need to meet you another time. I should tell it to Sultan now. - I told him and smiled a bit.
- I know you have distrust in me because of everything what happened with Kosem Sultana, but that is behind me. Too many years passed. - he told me.

- I hope with the time I will gain more trust, because since the first day there is no one here I trust hundred percent. - I told him.
- I hope in that also, Sultana. - he said and bowed to me.

I started to walk away, but he stopped me.
- Sultana, how did you came on mind to marry me with your daughter? She is half my age. - he asked me very confusedly.

I was silent for few seconds.
- It was the best way. - I just told him and smiled.

I started walking towards the Palace, when I splitted onto a rock. I've fell down on a ground and my leg hurted me so bad. Kemankes ran towards me to check if I am okay.

- Sultana, are you fine? - he asked me very worriedly. He touched my arm and it made me feel very weird.

I putted my dress higher to check my leg, and it all blooded. My leg was covered in blood.
- It hurts me so much.. - I barely could say from pain. How could this happen to me now? When I secretly met with Kemankes.

He gave me his hand to stand up but I couldn't stand on that leg how it hurted me.
- Kemankeş, I can't walk.. It hurts me so much.. - I told him and it hurted me so much. Even while I was little I knew to fell, but it never hurted me like this.

He just took me in his arms and carried me to Palace.
- Kemankes, put me down. If someone sees this we will get beheaded.. - I told him as I was afraid if Murad would see this.
-Sultana, you need a doctor. - he said and walked with me in his arms towards the harem.

He came in front of harem as he shouldn't go more away and waited for some aghas to pick me. He putted me to lay in sofa in Harem Garden. My leg hurted me so much that I would cry from pain at that moment.

- Aghas! Hurry up! Sultana is wounded! Call the doctors! - Kemankes yelled as nobody was coming then.

In few moments aghas and kalfas came and carried me to the ambulance. It was all blurry in front of my eyes and I couldn't realise what is happening.

After some time, I've woke up all lost. I didn't know where I am, what happened or what time is. I saw Murad standing next to me and a doctor next to him.

- Murad... - I told him as I was confused about what happened.
- Hoşyar! You are fine! I was so scared for you! - he told me as he kissed my hand gently.
- I.. I remember I fell... My leg hurts me so much... - I tried to say him.

- Luckily Kemankeş-paşa took you to harem and called the doctors. They did everything best for you and your health and you will be better in few days. - Murad told me as he was happy because I am fine. It shocked me that he wasn't upset why Kemankes carried me to Harem.

Doctor leaved at that moment and I squeezed Murad's hand.
- Murad, I've missed you so much. I haven't seen you in days. - I told him as I was really happy to see him.
- I am too, my Hoşyar. In future I want to see you everyday. None of the state jobs is more important than you! - he told me and kissed my cheeks.

- Murad, I talked with Kemankeş-paşa and I want to tell it to you. - I said to him as I knew it would be better if I would explain why I was with Kemankes right now.
- About what? - he asked me.

- Our Huricihan wants to marry with Kemankes, and he wants too. I hope you will think about it and make our daughter happy. - I told him as I excepted good reaction.

- What?! - Murad asked me shockedly from what he has heard.
