-Three days later-

|Nurgül's POV|

My mother was buried two days ago, since then I never left my room. There was already a lot of talk about me in the harem so I didn't want to meet anyone at the moment except for Mehmet. I asked him about my sisters and he said that this time they were in a really safe place and should stay out of sight.

I stood in front of the window looking at the weather that had become very cold and it seemed that some snow might fall in the coming days, I heard a knock on the door so I turned around and said calmly "Come in"

Fahriye Kalfa entered "Good morning Nurgül, it seems that you have been awake since early morning"

I nodded "Yes, I barely slept for a short time"

She approached me and gave me a glass that was in her hand "Drink this, Alice told me to give it to you"

"Milk with honey again" I took it from her "Thank you" I sat down and started drinking from it.

"Come on hurry up we have to leave now" she said then she went and started searching my dresses.

I put the glass down from my hand and raised my eyebrows in surprise "Where?"

She chose a dress and then turned to me "The Sultan is waiting for you in the garden"

I was confused but I didn't ask any more questions, I picked up the dress from her and then put it on and because it was very cold I put a fur cape on my shoulders.

I placed a kiss on the cheek of both my sons "Elif take good care of Ibrahim and Bayezid"

I left to the garden and indeed there I found Mehmet who was standing and seemed to be busy talking to Aymen Pasha, he looked very handsome in his black clothes in addition to his coat which made him look really attractive.

"Mehmet" I said as I stood behind him.

He turned to me with a smile "Nurgül" He placed a kiss on my forehead while his hand was behind my waist "How are you"

I smiled a little "When I am with you, I am fine"

He moved his head "Let's go"

I looked at him in surprise "Where to?"

He smiled a little "You will see"

I moved my head then we headed to the gate.. I got in the carriage while Mehmet got on his horse... After about half an hour I felt the carriage stop and I concluded that we had arrived, the door opened and I saw Moment giving me his hand then helped me get off.

"Where are we" I asked while looking at the beautiful place where there was only one house.

"You are here to meet your sisters" He turned and pointed to some guards "Call them"

Everything happened so quickly that I did not comprehend his words until I stood in my place shocked watching the gate open then a tall blonde girl appeared wearing a yellow dress, she is seventeen years old two years younger than me... Behind her, another fifteen year old girl, shorter than her wearing a pink dress that matches her pink cheeks.

It's Elizabeth and Matilda, I haven't seen them for a year but it feels like a decade, my angels.. despite the endless arguments we had but now I'm willing to give them the world.

"Charlotte" Matilda said, pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Sister" Elizabeth threw herself into my arms "I miss you, my mom left us''' she's no longer with us" she started crying and hugged me tightly.

I wrapped my arms around her and then hugged Matilda with my other hand "She's in heaven now and she'll be happy to see us okay" I said trying to calm her down.

"We've been waiting for months" Matilda said "We were scared, we thought something bad had happened to you"

I stepped back a little bit still unable to take my eyes off their faces, I missed seeing them so much that I couldn't comprehend everything that was happening.

"Don't worry, I'm here and we won't be separated anymore" I raised my hand to wipe her tears then turned to Elizabeth and started to push back her hair "I missed you both, I'm grateful that you're okay... I couldn't bear to lose you too"

I felt a hand placed behind my waist and when I turned I found Mehmet standing next to me.

"Come on butterfly we have to go" he said calmly, looking into my eyes.

"What about...?" I didn't finish my sentence because he interrupted me.

"They will come with you and you can spend the whole day in the palace... but after that they will stay outside because they are free and can't live in the harem" he continued calmly then turned and pointed to the guards.

"I remember this man, he was with them that night when they saved us" Matilda said then added in surprise "What was he saying"

I seem to have gotten so used to this language that I forgot that my sisters don't understand it, I pulled them by their hands towards the carriage "Come on, in the palace you will know everything"

After we returned to the palace, crossing to the room was difficult, everyone in the harem was looking at my sisters in surprise and talking in loud voices without shame.

"Sit down" I said with a smile pointing to the sofa, I can't deny that meeting them brought back some of my happiness.

"Do you live here?" Elizabeth said after she sat down "How? Aren't you supposed to be their enemy?"

I sat next to her "It's a very long story"

"Tell us quickly because I'm unable to understand anything" Matilda said.

Before I could answer her, Elif came carrying Ibrahim.

"Sultana, you must breastfeed Ibrahim" she said as she handed him to me.

I took him from her and started breastfeeding him, which shocked Elizabeth and Matilda.

"Sister, what is this!" Matilda said in shock as she put her hands on her chest.

"Calm down, he's my son" I smiled then turned to Elif "Bring Bayezid too to meet his aunts"

She nodded then quickly went and brought Bayezid who seemed to have just woken up from sleep.

"Carry him Elizabeth" I looked at her with a smile.

She adjusted her sitting position well then took him from Elif, seeing my sister holding my son in her arms made a wide smile appear on my lips.

Matilda looked at me "Twins! Charlotte, I really need an urgent explanation"

"Wait a minute" After I finished breastfeeding Ibrahim I put him in his bed next to me then adjusted my sitting position trying to summarize everything that happened for them.

"The prince I was supposed to kill" I pointed to Bayezid and Ibrahim "These are our sons"

"So this is the prince's palace isn't it?" Elizabeth asked in surprise.

I nodded "Yes, and the prince became a sultan"

Matilda raised her eyebrow "Sultan, like a king or an emperor?"

I nodded because Matilda's understanding was a bit slow, she doesn't grasp things quickly "Yes, as they say here, the sultan of the world"

She put her hand over her mouth "So he knows about you!"

I nodded "Yes, at first there was a misunderstanding, but then things went back to normal, in fact we fell in love from the beginning"

Elizabeth smiled "So now you are the king's wife.. a queen!!"

I laughed a little "No, things don't work that way here, I am now a sultana because I am the mother of two princes, but we're not married"

Matilda felt a bit surprised, but after a long silence, she showed that she understood the matter "But since your sons are twins, which one of them is considered the crown prince?"

I smiled a little, I really hadn't thought about these things before "Mehmet has another son named Selim, he is three and a half months older than Bayezid and Ibrahim"

Matilda's eyes widened "No Charlotte, please don't tell me that the king has a wife and you are just a mistress!"

This time I couldn't hold back my laughter so I burst out laughing "What are you talking about... No no not like that, here marriage is a very rare thing, the sultan or the prince gets a harem full of girls and they give birth to many children" I moved my hand "Selim is the son of one of them but she is now exiled because of the problems she caused and Mehmet and I are so deeply in love that after a few months of our first meeting he stopped seeing any other girls... Also my name became Nurgül"

I spent hours with them telling them some details while keeping the rest to myself as I didn't want to bother them, they also told me about the most important things that happened throughout this year.

When evening came, Fahriye Kalfa told me that a small mansion very close by had been allocated for my sisters, they would stay there.

After all this, I really don't know how to thank Mehmet, I went to his room and when I entered, I found him in the middle of the room holding his son Selim who seemed to be crying.

"Mehmet?" I approached him "What's wrong? Is he sick?"

Mehmet shook his head "No, the doctor says he's fine"

I felt sad as I ran my fingers over his cheek "He must be missing his mother, children only get used to their mother's smell and milk"

Mehmet looked at me "I'm worried that something bad might happen to him" He was silent for a while and then said "I'll send him to his mother for a few days"

I smiled a little and looked at Selim "Yes, he'll get better"

|3rd Person POV|

-Three hours later in the old palace-

The maid walked to the kitchen then pretended to be busy talking to the cook and as soon as he turned around she took out a small bottle and poured it all in the middle of Hurrem Sultan's plate.

Eylem was walking in the middle of her room nervously, her son Selim's arrival half an hour ago made her happy but her nervousness about what would happen tonight was much greater.

She checked on Selim who was sleeping in his bed then turned around when the door opened and her maid entered.

"Don't worry Sultana" The maid smiled "It's done"

Eylem took a deep breath as she sat down "So tomorrow there will be a big funeral and my son and I will return to the palace"

Her maid approached her "Sultana I understand that you want to get rid of Hurrem Sultan because she used you .. But what I don't understand is how her death will lead to your return to the palace"

A side smile appeared on Eylem's lips "Everyone will think that there are some traitors lurking here, especially with Selim's arrival tonight... We will make them believe that the poison was also in my food and they wanted me to breastfeed Selim and die because of course he is the crown prince... All of this will make Mehmet worry about us here"

≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

After the dinner table was ready and after one of the maids tasted the food, Hurrem Sultan sat down and started eating slowly and thinking, still unable to comprehend that she is here now, after she was the most influential Sultana.

After finishing dinner, she put on her nightgown with the help of her maid and then lay down on her bed thinking of a way that would make her get rid of Nurgül.

After two hours of sleep, Hurrem woke up feeling severe pain in her stomach, as if her intestines were slowly being torn apart.

"Oh my God... Help!!" She started screaming loudly because she couldn't leave her bed as the pain was increasing with time.

Her maid quickly entered and started calling for help.

"Where is Mehmet... I want..." Before she could finish her sentence, her lips slowly opened and seconds later she was dead.
