I was walking around the hallways of the harem trying to kill time as i waited for Mustafa to get out of his divan .

I was accompanied by one of the girls and came across sumbul who was hiding on a corner , i felt skeptic about it making me take a step closer while silencing the girl behind me .

He looked panicked and kept looking around him until his eyes met mine , he gasped in surprise and came towards me .

« Sultana what are you doing here ? » he asked barely making up his words « In the contrary i should be the one asking you this » I said raising my eyebrow in suspicion while looking around .

« I came to - I came to check if the candles ran out » He said pointing at some candles that lightened the path at night, his excuse almost made me laugh .

« Is that your job now ? » i asked in a mocking tone « I wonder what you and your sultana are preparing again » i sighed and walked past him but little did he know that i didn't believe him , i dismissed the girl and continued walking away .

I wasn't stupid enough to let him go this easily so i hid behind a wall careful not to make any noise or be seen . I believed that he hid something and i had to know what that thing is .

I stayed there waiting for something to happen and i was eventually right because just moments after we finished talking , hurrem sultans stepped out of what looked like a cave .

« Sultanim , Stella sultan was here and i just lied about whatever . She was going to catch us » he announced to his sultana almost panicking .

« The last thing i can care about is her , that traitor mustafa knows that sultan suleyman and that my children are alive and didnt tell us » She sighed in annoyance as she stepped out pushing the dust off her dress .

« What ... ? why would he lie about this ? » Sumbul answered while closing the door she just stepped out of .

« Of course to torment me and emotionally attack me , but just wait .. he doesn't have much time in this life » She said with so much arrogance and confidence before walking away .

I stood there shocked from what i just saw , Hurrem sultan had a secret room where she had access to the divan and listened to everything.

There was no way in the world that she would get away with this , i had a physical proof now and i could destroy her whenever i wanted .

And i chose to keep this to myself , no one would know this except me . I want to use this as my winning card if she ever tries to decline or argue about what she did to me .

I walked back to my room and sat down on my bed just thinking , my mind raced with different thoughts but i got brought back to reality when one of the girls announced that sultan suleyman has just arrived .

My heart dropped to the floor , the moment we have been waiting for was finally here , the day of truth where hurrem sultan's mask will fall came to light .

I stood up and went to the sultan's room where we had to welcome him , all of them were there and i was the last one to join , i placed myself to the end of the line next to mahidevran sultan .

« The day has come , I am happy that god brought my husband back and my kids . god knows what would've happened if the empire fell into the hands of the enemies » She said loud as if she wanted everyone to hear what she had to say .

« There is one enemy in this room and it's you » Mahidevran sultan answered while keeping her cool down , this statement made Mihrimah sultan turn around /

« Mahidevran Sultan , this is my mother you're talking to » She said getting angrier at mahidevran sultan .

« and this is my mother you're talking to mihrimah » Mustafa said stepping inside the room  , he walked to the enter of the room and stood at the first of the line .

Mihrimah looked at her brother once and looked down , she left mahidevran sultan alone and continued waiting in silence .The silence that was itching us , that was eating us from the inside , we waited a long time for this moment and i was sure each one of us was going to snitch on the other , all of us in this room were eager for something to happen in our favour and for us three it was to get rid of hurrem sultan .

« Attention , Sultan Suleyman Han » the harem agha announced as he opened the door , the sultan walked in as confident as ever but we were still all looking down .

His aura was unmatched that only his presence was able to intimidate you , he walked in the center of the room .

« You can all leave » he said turning around and sitting down on his throne , we all looked up and stared in confusion .

« Mustafa you stay » He ordered as the door opened for us to leave , he looks visibly upset but none of us could point what was wrong .

I exchanged looks with mustafa one last time before we all left .

« I don't know why he asked to see mustafa » Mahidevran sultan whispered to me feeling worried , i was also worried but it made sense he would want to see the one he entrusted his empire to .

« You're asking yourself really ? of course to make him pay for what he did » Hurrem sultan answered in my place making me boil in anger , she irritated me .

« Maybe he will ask him what you did in his absence sultana » I said not able to hold back myself anymore , she rolled her eyes and smirked .

« You can't prove anything , i advise you not to bite more than you can chew » She answered me in a very infuriating tone .

I ignored her and walked past her to leave and go to my room along with Mahidevran sultan . « I was not able to read the sultan's expressions , i just hope he's not going to lash out at Mustafa like usual »

We both sat down but i had to go check on nergisşah who started to cry , i was already in distress as all of my thoughts were with mustafa right now .

Mahidevran sultan paced around the room stressed until my door opened revealing mustafa .

« Mustafa » i called when i saw him standing by my door , he looked down and stepped in . « What happened ? » Mahidevran sultan approached her son and tried to make him speak .

« My father is not feeling well , but to make you feel better he doesn't suspect that i planned the attack just like some made him believe » I sighed in relief feeling a little bit better « This is what you talked about ? » Mahidevran sultan asked .

« Yes , i couldn't talk about hurrem sultan yet . He was visibly upset and angry about the attack especially now that mehmed was injured , he is currently treating his wound but it made my father really upset » He explained as he sat down , i carefully put my daughter down and went to sit next to him .

« We can wait some more , until your father is ready to process more things » I said offering him a new possibility because i felt like the war has drained him a lot . « No , i will not wait . tomorrow i will tell him everything and the woman who did this will be seized by my guards tonight »

I exchanged looks with mahidevran sultan and then looked at the empty space « What if she doesn't wanna speak ? » mahidevran sultan asked doubting the woman .

« She will speak , we will threaten her and use her family for that . She will have no choice but to speak » .

Mustafa explained to us and then mahidevran sultan left , she went back to her room leaving us both alone . I wanted to tell him about the room i found but i felt like it was the wrong moment to do so , that is why i just stayed silent about it .

We both went to sleep early , but i personally couldn't sleep as my mind thought of different things , i wasn't going to be at ease until the sultan knows everything tomorrow .

My only wish is that we get out of it unharmed and that he believes us .
