21st Chapter

" Valide Sultan, I want to speak to you." I said as I walked into Kosem's chambers and bowed to her. I couldn’t believe she blamed me for what Ayse has done.

" Why did you come here?" Kosem asked me nervously. I have never seen her acting like this towards me.

" I wanted to speak about Ismihan Kaya Sultan. She stayed without a mother. I wanted to ask you if I can take care of her. She is still baby, and it would be better if I take care of her equally as of all my children, than if some Kalfas were with her." I said to Kosem.

When Ayse killed herself and her children, she didn't kill her baby Ismihan Kaya, because she was still a baby. I felt so horribly for the little child who stayed without mother so early in her life.

"  That would be innapropriate. " Kosem said quickly and looked at me seriously. In all those years she acted towards me like I was her daughter. She threated me well and took care of me, and now she blames me for everything that happened.

" Why it would be innapropriate?" I asked her as I didn't know why she wouldn't allow me to do that.

" Her mother killed herself because of you, child shouldn't be with that kind of person." Kosem said coldly to me.

" Excuse me Sultana, but you are acting like I killed Ayse. She decided to do it alone. Not because of me, but because Sultan Murad doesnt love her anymore and doesnt treat her well. What is my mistake in that when I haven't done anything?" I asked her.

Kosem just continued to sit seriously on her throne and she seemed like she doesnt care for what I am telling to her.

" Ayse written in her letter she killed herself because of you. You obviously said something to her or you gave her even more reason to kill hersel." Kosem said coldly as she was already quite nervous about my presence.

" Is it my mistake that Sultan Murad decided to marry me and she found out about it? Is it my mistake that I married with a man I love most in the world and father of my three children." I said to her as I couldn't stand being accused of those things.

" What? Married? What are you talking about?" Kosem looked at me confusedly. Obviously she haven't even heard for the marriage, but somehow Ayse has heard.

" Yes, the night you made party in Harem and when Sultan Murad called me, it was because he married me that night. " I said to her not caring for her reaction.

" How could Murad have a marriage without me knowing it? What have you done to force him to do it? " Kosem yelled on me like it was my mistake.

" Why are you accusing me like this is all because of me? That was his decision and I had no idea about that before he called me. You blame me for everything that happened and I'm not even involved in anything. I love Sultan Murad and if that is my sin, let it be my sin. " I said to her.

" I treated you like my own daughter, but you crossed every limit. You will know your place. You should have informed me about that marriage. " Kosem said angrily to me.

" How could I inform you about marriage when Haci-aga woke up early in the morning with the news? Obviously someone said to Ayse but didn't to you, Sultana. As Haci-aga knew for this marriage. " I said to her which probably made her question Haci's loyality towards her.

" You will take care of your words. Your sister is in my hands and if you do any wrong move, I will take her life. Your only duty was to inform me about everything and you still aren't able to do that. You shouldn't think that being Haseki Sultana will help you with something now. " Kosem walked closer to me angrily and started threatening me.

My sister? She had my sister with her? I only knew they sent my sister to serve Şehzade Ibrahim as he was locked in Kafes, and they said that I couldn't see her. I never gave up on hope to meet with my sister one day again, but I won’t let Kosem do anything bad to my family.

" How can you threat me with my sister Vika's life? What has she done wrong to you? I never did anything bad to you Sultana. Never. I always informed you about whatever you wanted. I always served you." I said to her as my heart hurted me only on mention of something bad happening to my sister.

" Vika is not her name anymore. Her new name is Zarife. " Kosem quickly responded to me.

I was afraid what this should mean. I knew Şehzade Ibrahim can't have his Harem. Princes couldn't have concubines while they were in Kafes. I was afraid what Kosem has done.

" You will continue to serve me, I want to know everything. You won't hide things from me anymore, because if you do, I will end your sister's life." Kosem said to me as she raised her head.

I nodded affirmativley to her. She should think I will serve her still, but I am only waiting for the day to get rid of her.

I will do whatever is needed to banish Kosem from Palace. She wants to rule everything alone, and she thinks Murad is her marionette. Thankfully, Murad outgrown that and he wants to rule alone.

But what Murad didn't know, is that Kosem has Secret Divan where she talks alone with Viziers. She orders them what they propose to Murad.

I knew the day when I will have to tell that to Murad is coming soon. I will make him banish Kosem, because I can't feel safe anymore while Kosem is in this Palace.

"Haci-aga, I wanted to ask you something." I said as I saw Haci when I left Kosem's chambers.

He just looked at me and nodded so I could ask him whatever I want.

"What is happening with my sister, Vika? Kosem Sultan told me her new name is Zarife. I would like only to know if she is fine and how is her." I said to him and showed him my sadness.

" Mihrişah Sultana, I can't tell you a lot about it. She is with Şehzade Ibrahim and she is fine, but you can't know anything more than that." Haci said as he didn't want to tell me the truth. I was scared for her life.

" Is she his concubine? Is that why she got a new name?" I asked Haci, but he didnt respond to me. He looked at me nervously which gave me the answer I hoped that is not truth. She was Ibrahim's concubine.
