"Naime Sultan, Ayse Sultan is giving birth," Nur said to me as I quickly got ready and walked to the harem where everyone was gathered. My Valide stood there with Gevherhan, while Atike was standing by the side with Farya who was really afraid what would happen now. Farya was married to Murad but there was no way she could get pregnant, and Ayse already was mother of his two children and now the third would be born.

Valide looked at me with so much disgust when I arrived and I stood next to Gevherhan who was so happy in the last time since Murad allowed her to marry man she loves. Usually, Valide and Atike would be the happiest ones, while Gevherhan and I would be sad and now the wheel has spinned and changed the sides so they could finally feel how it was for the two of us for so many years.

All the maids were gathered around as everyone was afraid because if Ayse would give birth to one more son, then she would get much more power.

"Kasim is worried if she gives birth to one more son, because then he would never could ascend the throne," Gevherhan whispered into my ear and I knew that worried him because Kasim really wanted to ascend the throne after Murad, but in front of him there was Bayezid, our brother who had another mother Gulbahar.

"Kasim shouldn't even think of those things because he will only gain Murad's anger on himself," I said to her silently so no one could hear us. Everyone was preoccupied with which gender would be the baby Ayse is currently giving birth to.

I knew Kasim was ambitious to get the throne one day, and after Murad took the regency to our Valide, she started giving Kasim hopes to ascend the throne. She loved to threat Murad how the Sultans change quickly so he would be afraid she would dethrone him and put Kasim on the throne, but Murad wasn't afraid and it scared me this would only more make Murad angry on our brothers who were just on the influence of our mother.

"A beautiful Sultana is born," nurse said as she opened the doors and at that moment Murad has arrived. He and Valide entered inside while all of us stayed inside.

"Thank God for girl," Farya said as she sighed as she felt more easy.

"What does it mean if it's girl when you don't even have children with him?" I asked her coldly, even though I knew this hurt her she was no one to speak this way. I maybe didn't like Ayse that much, but I couldn't stand Farya around.

"Naime, stop those nonsenses already. You can't hurt people this way," Atike said to me and I wouldn't say anything back to that.

"I might not have children but I have Sultan's love and I'm powerful here enough to know your secrets," Farya hissed at me quickly when Atike finished her sentence. I knew my words hurt her, but there was no secret of me that she might know.

"If you mean on secret we have talked about, that is not a secret anymore since my brother knows about that and as you know Kemankes and I will get married," I said to her when she walked closer to me with such an anger in her eyes.

"I know the secret of you and Kemankes regarding your ex husband," she whispered in my ears making sure no one would hear since the naming ceremony of little Sultana started.

"There is no any kind of secret like that. Stop talking nonsenses," I hissed at her because I knew exactly what she meant but I didn't know where did she get this from.

"I heard your servant Amber long time ago talking with Nur how Kemankes Pasha has saved you, and now I can tell it to Sultan if you don't do what I want you to do for me," she whispered once again in my ears.

"And what would that be?" I asked her out of curiosity and I would never allow anyone to make me threats and to force me to do something I would never wish to do.

"You will help me to banish Ayse outside of the palace, and then I will forget about your secret," she said silently, while the ceremony was going on and both of us heard the child is going to be named Ismihan Kaya Sultan.

"My dear Farya, you obviously have no idea who you mess with," I said to her with a smirk. She thought she could threat me but even my mother couldn't do that and I would never allow anyone to humiliate me no matter who they were. In a second I could manipulate over Murad to change the situation and for him to get angry on Farya for lying and she would only make bigger problem to herself.

"You have 24 hours to accept or decline my offer, otherwise I will go myself personally to Murad and tell him those things," she hissed at me as she raised her head thinking she had me in her hand.

"Do you think Murad will care for you now and want to see you when his child is born?" I asked her and laughed.

"If you try to play against me, you will be the one who will be banished," I whispered in her ears before returning to stand beside Gevherhan.

I went to Kemankes' office while everyone was busy. Even though he is going to become my husband very soon, still it was inappropriate to meet him secretly, but I didn't care anymore since Murad wouldn't cross his word about our marriage.

"Kemankes, the news aren't good. Farya claims to know we two lied to Sultan about my ex husband and she threatens to say that to Murad. I am not afraid of her, but I wouldn't be surprised if she would tell that to him," I said as I entered and he immediately locked the doors for no one to come inside.

"Don't worry, Naime, if she dares to say that to Sultan the two of us have the same story and nothing bad would happen, it would only turn Murad against her," Kemankes said as he knew I was upset about this even though I wanted to stay strong in front of everyone, I knew I couldn't stay strong in front of him but could admit to him how I really feel.

"I have Valide in my hands and she can't go against me now, but you know Murad's mood changes so quicky that I never know how he would react in that moment," I said and sighed as he came closer to me and placed his hands on my arms.

"I will protect you sith my own life and no one will dare to even think of doing something bad to you. I am protecting you of everything and who dares to think of that I will take their life with my own hands," he said as he looked at me in the eyes.

"I don't know what I would do without you," I said as I took his hand into mine. In such a short period I started loving this man so much.

"I love you Naime more than you can imagine, I will always stand by your side and protect you, and while we are together no one can even dare to make anything against us," he said as our eyes couldn't stop looking one at another.

"I love you too Kemankes," I said before he placed his lips on mine taking me once again into a passionate kiss I didn't want to let him go out of.

"Sehzade Bayezid came and talked to me. He is furious many people are with him and he is afraid that way Murad would turn against him," Kemankes said as I sat next to him in his office.

"He is afraid with a reason. Valide can't wait for the moment to get rid of Bayezid, because she wants Kasim to get on the throne after Murad. I don't like those ideas and in last time there is too much talk of princes which will make Murad even more angry," I said.

"Sultan allowed Gulbahar Sultan to return to Istanbul because she is sick, and he wanted to allow Sehzade Bayezid to be close to his mother," Kemankes said and I knew those weren't good news since she was against my mother, and even though I had a fight with my mother I would never allow anyone including Gulbahar to threat her in any possible way.

"Chaos will come into this palace very soon. I just don't want Murad to lock them like my uncle Mustafa is locked, because they will lose their mind," I said and Kemankes placed his hand on my cheek.

"Don't worry about those things Sultana because I would always inform you if Sultan is thinking about that. I would act in that moment as all of us won't allow him to lock the other Sehzades," he said and I felt so much easier next to him knowing I have my support always and who would always work for the good of my family.

"But I also don't want Bayezid to be locked, we might not share the same mother but he is still my brother and I love him equally as Kasim and Ibrahim," I said.

"For him I am afraid he is searching for allies, he spoke with me but I am sure that is for him to see by who's side I stand," Kemankes said.

"Be only with Murad, don't take sides between the princes because you are Grand Vizier. Your duty is to protect them all but don't stand by anyone's side because Murad would turn against you and I do not want to lose you before I even got you," I said and he smiled.

"While you are with me I am not even afraid of Sultan Murad," he said and kissed my lips gently once again.

"Naime, I need to speak with you," Murad said as he called me into his chambers. I bowed to him and then sat next to him and he seemed to be really serious. I know either Farya has said to him or he heard I was in Kemankes' chambers.

"I hope everything is fine," I said pretending not to know about what is happening.

"I heard something that I do not want to believe in, but I don't have peace if I don't ask you those things," Murad said seriously and it honestly made me afraid what it would be. I would get so angry on Farya if she ran at this moment and said those things to Murad because I knew I would revenge her so hard she couldn't even imagine it.

"I heard mother is disappointed in your marriage with Kemankes, because she potentially has a crush on him?" Murad asked me and I couldn't believe how did he hear about this.

"What?" I asked him as I couldn't believe Murad would find about this.

"Farya said she overheard the conversation of you and Valide fighting where you yelled at her that she is jealous because she loves Kemankes. Is that true?" Murad asked me seriously. His eyes were filled with worries because if that would be true he would banish mother immediately from the palace and he would probably hurt Kemankes even though he had done nothing wrong.

"I am sorry but I have never spoken with my Valide about this kind of topic. She would never be able to start loving someone after our late father Sultan Ahmed Khan and she for sure wouldn't love someone her daughter loves," I said making sure Murad would never find out about this, because it was all told by Farya and she knew much more things than we thought she had known. I had Valide in my hands with this information and if she would anytime soon dare to threat me I would think of using this information, but I would never allow anyone else to make those things to her.

"Are you sure?" Murad asked me as he raised his eyebrows and he wasn't hundred percent sure if I was telling the truth.

"It is true my Valide and I aren't in the best relationship in the last time, but it is about one another topic that I wouldn't want to bother you since it is nothing important. But I am sure hundred percent Valide would never allow herself to catch emotions for any other man because she is Valide Sultan and she has so many job in this Empire that she doesn't even have time to catch those emotions," I said and Murad sighed from relief as I knew he believes me now.

"And there is one more thing," Murad said.

"Farya said she has overheard the conversation of your servants where she heard you killed your husband, and that together with Kemankes you made story to all of us that he died from alcohol," Murad said and I wanted to explode from madness in this moment and I was sure I would make revenge for Farya in this moment. I would hurt her where she least excepted and she would regret the day when she started going against me.

"I don't know why Farya has problems to me to make such a lies, but I would never kill anyone not especially father of my son Mehmed. If you don't believe me ask everyone from the palace in Egypt and all the servants and everyone will tell you the truth. I haven't lied about this and if I was ready to kill him then I would first ask you to divorce," I said as I wanted to stay calm but it was really hard in this moment.

"And why did she mention Kemankes?" Murad asked and he was really suspicious of me in this moment.

"Because obviously he was the one who interrogated me. Ask him if you don't believe me, also ask Valide and whoever you wish to ask," I said as I stood up.

"But I am hurt because you don't believe me who is your twin sister and we have been inseparable from the birth because of a woman from your harem. And that makes me really hard," I said in a very manipulative tone as I knew I would have to manipulate over Murad to make him believe me.

"Who said that I don't believe you? I just wanted to ask you about that because I also don't believe Farya, but she really talks only bad about you, Kemankes and Valide and I don't know where it all came from," Murad said as he was really confused now.

"It might be because she is jealous of Ayse who gave birth and wants to find the way to gain your attention."
