" Do you know what you have done? My Şehzade Osman could have been killed somewhere out on streets if someone recognised him. He could have been punished. Something bad could happen to him." Kosem Sultana yelled at me when they brought me to her chambers.

Janissaries together with Haci-aga saw us in aisle while we were hiding from them and they took us to the Palace. They brought me to Kosem's chambers, while Haci sent Osman to his chambers.

" Sultana, why do you blame me for this? Nothing bad could happen." I said to her as my head was bowed down, because I was really afraid of Kosem while she was yelling.

" Enough. You don't know what could even happen to him there. You didn't think about that. It is forbidden both to you and him to leave palace, and you still made him leave the Palace." Kosem said to me and she acted like it is my guilt for everything.

" Sultana..." I tried to say something to her but she signalised me with her hand to stop talking.

" If you are here you must learn rules. You shouldn't be so close to a Şehzade, it is inapropriate. You are not part of his Harem. So stay away from him. If you repeat something like this once again, you will lay down at the deep of Bosphorus." Kosem yelled at me and I was even more afraid of her by her each word.

" Valide, why are you yelling so much? Whole Harem could hear you yelling here." Osman said as he angrily came into Kosem's chambers. He looked at me and he could see how scared I am of Kosem.

" Osman! She brought you out of Palace. You could have been dead because of her. Of course I will yell on her." Kosem said as she looked at Osman like she was afraid for him. She wasnt yelling anymore, but I saw how she measured me once again with disgust on her face.

" Why do you blame her for that Valide? I am here and I am healthy and alive. You shouldn't do this anymore." Osman said to her angrily. I haven't seen him angry any time before so it was weird for me, because he always respected Kosem a lot. I didn't want to get him into a trouble just because of me.

" Osman. I was afraid for you. How do you think I felt when I heard that you are not in the Palace and no one knows where are you? I know she brought you with her. This is all of her fault and she should be punished." Kosem said as she looked angrily at me with her head raised.

" Valide. She won't be punished. She didn't ask me to go with her, I was the one who begged her to go with me. I wanted to see what kind of life is there outside of the Palace." Osman said as he tried to tell what happened to Kosem, but she seemed like she doesn't care.

" I do not believe in that. If you would want to do that, you would go with some of your servants or Haci-aga. She has done something to you for sure. And she will pay for that." Kosem said and I couldn't believe she is like that and blames me for something her son asked me for.

" Valide. Don't you ever ever again raise your voice over Huma or dare to threat her again. I will be the one who will fight you if you do any time more this." Osman started threatening her and I couldn't believe what is he doing in this moment because of me.

Only thing he was doing is bringing him into a trouble. He would only get bad because of his behaviour towards Kosem.

" Leave my chambers both of you, now." Kosem ordered as she went back to sit on her sofa while we were leaving.

I left with my head bowed as I was afraid of everything that happened now and I couldn't believe why Osman has done this all because of me.

I was walking to my chambers, but he stopped me and he took my arm gently. I turned to him and saw him being really sad about this.

" I am sorry that my Valide acted like this towards you, this will never repeat again." Osman said as he tried to comfort me.

" You should have not fighted with her. You could let her punish me and everything would be fine. Now you will be in troubles with her and you will lose her support. You put yourself only in trouble." I said to him as I couldn't express even how I was sad and devastated because of everything that happened.

" I would never allow anyone to do anything bad to you. Nothing would have sense now if I would lose you so early." Osman said as he looked me deeply in my eyes.

" Huma Hatun, Humasah Sultana wants to see you immediatley." Selma came and interrupted my conversation with Osman.

But maybe it was better because she did that because I shouldn't get too close to Osman. That kiss was already too much. When I think again of it, I only remember how many emotions I have felt at that moment towards him that I decided to kiss him.

I was so embarassed of Humasah Sultana now. I knew I will be embarassed in front of her because she is the one who took me in this palace here with herself, and they already are talking how I am making troubles here.

The doors of her chambers opened and I was looking for the whole time at the floor because I was ashamed in front of her if she knew that.

" Huma, my dear, why do you look so sad and exhausted? What happened?" Humasah asked me worriedly as she touched my face. I saw she is scared for me. She was like mother to me which I never had, because she died while she was giving birth to me.

" Sultana, I.. Everything is fine." I said to her as I didn't want to make her worry even more if she already didn't know the story.

" I know what happened, and why are you sad because of that? Did Kosem do anything to you?" Humasah looked at me worriedly for me. I saw in her that she did not condemn my actions and I was glad to have someone like her in my life.

" She threatened me she will throw me at the deep of Bosphorus because I took Osman out, but it wasn't me who asked him to go there." I said to her as I couldn't hide my sadness anymore in front of her.

" Kosem could never do anything bad to you, I promise you with my own life. I will protect you. And I know that you are telling the truth." Humasah said to me and she really cared for me, but I wondered how she knew I am telling the truth.

" You are the only one who believes me." I said to her and gave her soft smile because it made me feel better because at least she believed me.

" I know because Selma came to me and gave me this." Humasah said as she showed me letter that Osman sent to me.
