All eyes were set on the messenger who wore the caftan , the chilling atmosphere was hitting him to the core of his soul . He started to look at them one by one trying to prove that the caftan was completely fine .

The room stayed idle for some time before the man started itching by the collar suffocating him , all their eyes widened at the scene and especially when the man fell down on the floor shaking terribly .

" I-" Mahidevran sultan covered her mouth in disbelief as she saw the man dying on the floor " I told you , i told you to not trust your father too much" She said to mustafa but he was absolutely not responsive .

He still looked at the man thinking how that could've been him , he looked up and locked eyes with Yahya .

" Everyone get out" he let out a shaky voice while dismissing everyone in the room , he looked worked up and furious that everyone left .

Mahidevran sultan went to her daughter in law as soon as they stepped out , trying to inquire about what happened .

" I didn't think that Sultan Suleyman would do this" Stella said in disbelief after what she saw " The tyrant will forever be one , i am glad we prevented this or else .." she sighed " we could've lost Mustafa" she said some prayers thanking god he protected her son .

" I am sure Mustafa will not let this slide and hopefully he doesn't do something reckless" Stella knew that Mustafa would not just sit here and do nothing about this matter , she was scared he would go to the palace and get in a fight with his father.

After three days , the tension was still there . No one dared to speak a word to Mustafa as he was furious about what happened , no one knew what decision he was about to make until he called for his wife to be with him .

" I have decided to march to the capital" he said his back facing his wife who had just stepped inside his chambers , she didn't even hide the shock in her face .

" Mustafa ? have you gone mad ? are you marching to death now?" she asked in disbelief hoping that this was just a moment of recklessness .

" You have heard me right , i will march to the capital with my soldiers . If his majesty wants to see me dead then has to kill me himself" he finally turned around to face her , his face full of anger and rage .

" Mustafa , i understand you but this is not what you should be doing . It can be considered as a rebellion against your father" She tried to explain to him but it felt useless as he looked very determined .

" I will bring his gift with me and give it back to him , do you think it's easy for me ? after he attempted to kill me ? do you think i will stay here with folded hands ?" He wasn't asking her but mostly trying to make her understand him more .

" Mustafa , he had assigned you as the regent and instead of thanking him this is what you do ? Can't you see that this is a scheme of Hurrem sultan ?" He thought about this but then dismissed it from his head .

" The sultan doesn't let anyone near his things , even me and i don't think someone else did it . You know him , you should see the way he looks at me .." He walked closer to her " He looks at me like i am his biggest enemy , it frightens me"

She stayed silent , trying to not to trigger his anger more , she felt like if she gave her opinion about this matter she would say something that would make him upset as so she searched for an alternative .

" Mustafa .. this is exactly what they've planning to do can't you see it ? they try to break your bond" she tried to sound optimistic and try to make him forget about the matter but it looked impossible .

" No Stella , my eyes don't know what to believe anymore . in one hand i consider him as my father and on the other hand i consider him as a ruhtless and cruel ruler , it is so confusing" he sat down holding his head in both hands shaking his head in disbelief .

" I have to go" he stood up once again looking determined about his decision making his wife sigh " No mustafa , you're not come back to your senses" she tried to make him resonate again

" You're going to deal with the ruthless and cruel sultan you're the most scared of , you are planning to go to the capital with your soldiers all armed and think that his majesty would welcome you with open arms ? it will look like a rebellion and thus you would give your brothers a chance to advance" he looked so focused on her words and felt like he needed to hear this .

" Even if you think it's right , it is not always the case . it doesn't look right to everyone" he stayed silent for some time trying to see things from another perspective .

" I think if i am not to march to the capital then i will just forget about this .. but believe me , i would never see my father the same" he felt saddned about this matter , he felt something more than dissapointment .

" Promise me you won't change your mind" she held his hand that was trembling maybe from anger and maybe from sadness . He looked at her and immediately melted from her soft gaze .

He nodded unsure about the promise she asked him to make , but still he didn't want to sadden her or upset her .

" I will leave you alone now , i want to let you think about this" she said touching his cheek swiftly but he held her hand keeping it on his face .

" Stay" he forced a smile " I want you here with me" she looked down thinking about it since she still wanted to give him space .

He grabbed her hand and sat her down with him on the couch and pulled her close so that her head was on his chest , he stayed silent and enjoyed her company .

" Stay for the night" she looked up at him and nodded , she just wanted him to feel comfortable and agreed to stay with him .

Stella's POV -
I woke up the next morning feeling extremely tired as i felt an excruciating headache , i put my hands on my face to cover the lights that were coming inside.

I turned around to look at Mustafa who was in deep sleep, we kept talking yesterday the whole night until we fell asleep . I sat down a little bit but the pain only got worse , i sighed in annoyance as i've never had this kind of headache before .

I put on my slippers and got up from the bed , i opened the door and called in some of the girls so they can prepare breakfast for us .

i closed the door before going back to the bed trying to calm this headache in all possible ways . I looked around and i saw mustafa moving a bit indicating that he was starting to wake up , he shoot his eyes open at once startling me a bit .

" Why are you awake , it's still early" he said as he rubbed his face a bit " im having a headache , a terrible one" I said rubbing the sides of my head .

"I think it will pass , don't worry about me . Come on get up so you can have breakfast" He looked at the ceiling then proceeded to get up and wash his face .

" You're going to take breakfast right ?" i asked as the girls started to set the table " Yes i will" i went through his clothes and started to choose which one he should wear today .

As i finally chose one , the girls were finally finished with the table . I sit down along with mustafa as they serve us food.

" I don't recall the last time i had a proper meal , it's been tough » he said as he grabbed his spoon to start eating .

« Well you don't want me to supervise you don't you ? » i said teasing him , he knew i didn't like it when he doesn't care about himself and especially about his health .

« Well , i wouldn't » he smiled before eating his food « After yesterdays talk , i thought about it a lot and knowing my father's character i can't risk it even if it did hurt me" i listened proud of his new perspective , he knew that this was the right thing to do .

" I see , and i promise you this will spite Hurrem sultan and Rustem pasha because now they would think you're on your way to dethrone your father and start a rebellion" i said satisfied with the outcome of this matter .

I grabbed the spoon and tried to eat a bit when a strong smell hit me in the face , i put down the spoon and grimaced " What is this" i pushed the plate a bit and covered my mouth .

" You don't like it ?" Mustafa asked worridely when he saw my reaction taking the plate from my hand , i looked at him as he took my spoon .

" It's good what do you mean ?" he asked after chewing on the same food i smelled " i don't know" i grabbed the plate again and started playing with the food using my spoon until the smell got unbearable making me nauseous .

I put a hand over my mouth and started to search where i should throw up everything , until Mustafa called in the girls who brought an empty recipient for me to throw up in . Mustafa patted my back slowly helping me and consoling me

"Call the doctor now" he ordered the girls that were standing next to me as i was already feeling dizzy and tired . My headache only got worse when i pushed the recipient away trying to catch my breath . Mustafa handed me some water so i can freshen up a bit .

" What happened to you like that " Mustafa asked me while helping me sit down , i just shook my head not knowing what to say

" i don't know , i don't feel well" i barely could speak now feeling really weak .

" The doctor is going to come here , lay down a little bit" he helped me lay down slowly until i stopped feeling dizzy .

the doctor stepped in and bowed down to us before putting down her material on the table next to the bed . She looked at Mustafa

« Your highness , if you may leave me with the sultana » Mustafa looked at me waiting for my confirmation before he stepped out leaving me and the doctor alone .

She walked close to me and started to examinate me along with her two apprentices , they kept looking at each other before putting the covers on me again .

« Sultana , i can assure you that you're healthy and everything is okay with you » she stepped back a bit leaving me some room to sit down .

She looked at the door giving mustafa the signal to step in , he came in and immediately sat next to me .

« What is it with her ? what happened to her »he asked not looking at her but examinating me with his eyes .

« Her highness is pregnant » i had to think for some time before fully grasping the information she yet announced .

« Are you sure ? » Mustafa asked her and turned towards her , the doctor nodded in response « Yes congratulations your highness , a new member of the ottoman dynasty is coming »

I couldn't believe that i was pregnant , nothing could've prepared me for this at all . Mustafa dismissed the doctor before he finally embraced me , he hugged me tightly .

« I can't believe this .. » he laughed happily « You're going to give me a little version of yourself , god what can i ask for anymore » he kissed my forehead and cupped my cheeks .

« Mustafa i am so happy » i said trying to surpress my feelings, i felt like i was in a dream , a beautiful one .

He put his hand on my stomach " with god's will , our child will be born in the capital next to his father and mother"
