" They truly never stop with these rebellions " i smashed my brush against the table as the maids were putting perfume around my neck

" Come " i boringly said hearing a knock on my door

" Neslihan sultan , kosem sultan asked for your presence at the tower of justice " Lalezar kalfa immediately spoke after getting into my room

" Fine you can leave " i dismissed her as i got up making the maids distance themselves from me

I opened the door of my room and made my way to the tower , i speeded my steps as it was starting soon . After taking the stairs the door was opened revealing Kosem sultan , gevherhan and atike

" Neslihan why are you late " Kosem sultan spoke not taking her eyes off the net

" forgive me i wasn't prepared " i said walking to take my place next to atike

The doors opened to reveal my brother murad coming in as he walked towards his throne

" We demand to see the princes , they say they were killed " the janissaries yelled infront of his face as he got angrier each second

" What is this insolence they are my brothers and i will never execute them " murad yelled but they still demanded the same thing

" They killed our innocent husrevpasha and what  wil make us believe that they are still alive " the head of them spoke making kosem sultan sigh

" Since when did we arrive to this state " she angrily whispered

" Why are you hiding them ? You murdered them " another one spoke making the others follow him

" If you don't let us see them we will destroy this palace " the head of them again threatened as they grabbed their swords

Kasim and ibrahim walked in before beyazid walked from the other side standing behind murad but as they stepped in they started yelling " Long live sehzade beyazid "

This sentence could destroy my brother's whole life and especially that they are saying it infront of murad

" As you can see my brothers are fine and i won't do anything that harms them and i am still respecting my late father's wish " murad yelled as everyone stopped speaking

" Please stop this , we are living peacefully and are happy that my brother is ruling . We considerate your care but that doesn't give you the right to rebel against my brother " Beyazid stepped in as he spoke to the janissaries

" Long live sehzade beyazid " they all started saying in union

Kasim and ibrahim spoke after beyazid finished and the crowd finally started reducing little by little until only pashas were standing there

" Finally i hope they stop rebelling for nothing " atike said staring at me and gevherhan

" Let them be , we will adjust accounts with them sonner or later " kosem sultan spoke before we all left the tower heading back to the harem

We all entered kosem sultan's room as she was asking to have a meal with her today along with my brothers excluding murad who had a divan after .

We all sat around the table before my brothers came in , they bowed to Kosem sultan before sitting down  . But i could notice gevherhan daydreaming and she isn't used to be like this

" Gevherhan , why are you so blunt did something happen ? " I asked her and she nodded

" My brother came yesterday at night and i still don't know why " she responded after thinking

" Why didn't you tell me "kosem sultan asked a bit annoyed from her daughter

" I don't know ,i had to think and create so many scenarios in my head but he came to speak to Topal " Gevherhan worriedly said before sipping her juice

" What kind of visit comes at night " atike sarcastically spoke " My brother hates him and your husband is a swindler and tyrant " we all looked at her not believing what she had just said

" Atike " i pulled her robe a bit so she can excuse herself but she only continued

" Why did i lie ? " She looked at me then over at the others

" those are only slanders and lies stop believing anything you hear " gevherhand said slamming her cup on the table

" Gevherhan where is selim " Ibrahim asked looking around the room before the door opened again revealing a woman grabbing her son's hand

" uncles " he ran towards the three of them and hugged them , i wished mehmed and osman were still alive to witness selim calling them uncles .

He then ran towards me and atike hugging us

" When did you get tall " i said pinching his cheek lightly and he shyly smiled before walking towards Kosem sultan sitting next to her

" Mother i have to take selim with me " ibrahim said walking towards selim who gladly took his hand

" Don't be late we will have to comeback early today , topal promised him to give him a ride " ibrahim nodded leaving with selim

" he grows up fast mashallah " beyazid spoke staring at them

We chatted for a while before the door reopened again revealing haci agha , he walked towards the center of the room gaining our attention .

He bowed to each one of us before speaking

" Valide sultan i don't know how i am going to tell you this " he stuttered looking at gevherhan and kosem sultan

"Speak " kosem sultan extended her hand to order haci agha to speak

" His majesty executed Topal pasha " we all looked down and everyone in the room was shocked .

" It can't be you are lying right " Gevherhan immediately stood up walking towards him

" How " tears started running down her cheeks and she tightened her fists .

I quickly got up along with atike and kasim and walked towards her

" Gevherhan " atike grabbed her forearm but she immediately shook it away

" Don't act now , everyone knows that you hate him and you maybe went to my brother and persuaded him to execute my husband " she yelled at atike before storming out of the room

" Atike just stay here i'll go with her " i reassured her before running towards her along with kasim

" Gevherhan wait " i said finally arriving next to her trying to calm her down as kasim went to her other side

" what are you going to tell murad , you already know how angry he gets " kasim stood infront of her as she stopped walking

" Kasim is right , you shouldn't go speak to him . Kosem sultan will sure speak to him " i grabbed her hand

" I will not shut up and watch this time , never " she continued walking as we only followed her

" Gevherhan stop " she kept walking as she was cursing at murad while me and kasim were just nervous she says something that'll make murad destroy us too

" Murad " she yelled out loud as we arrived infront of his door

" Gevherhan please don't do this " i grabbed her arm trying to calm her down but she was just crying and yelling

" Kasim what are we going to do ? " i worriedly asked kasim who immediately bowed to someone and as i looked to my ide murad was standing there along with silahtar

" What is this insolence gevherhan ? " he said angrily walking towards her

" You are a tyrant " she yelled out loud causing him to close his eyes

" you made me a widow and mother of an orphan what kind of human are you " she said between her sobs

" He is a traitor and deserved to die like this " murad responded as she continued crying

" yesterday when you came to visit us you had already made your decision right " she asked but he only ignored hee

" Neslihan , kasim " he said making us both look up " Take her to her room and never let her come near here " he said turning his back walking into his room

" Since when did he become this cold ? " i said under my breath and anger rushed in my veins

" she is in a bad state we should take her to her room " kasim spoke looking at me worriedly before she fainted between my arms

Kasim was quickly in rescue and carried her between his arms .
