And I am beyond grateful that you actually care for my happiness. I know it's because I'm favourite sister.

I replied with a laugh but inside I was serious. I did get jealous over the fact I had to share my brother with my other sisters. I felt as if no one understood our bond that we had.

But Fatma, her husband does not plot  against you or hit her. So maybe their is good match their too.

Yes and I think that he shall forever remain loyal to Fatma and to you too.

I sighed in relief my brother was a man to make examples out of those who did wrong. I never understood why people didn't take more notice of this fact.

I see you as a ruler who takes action more than words being said. I think it is good if people fear you it shows you have asserted authority. You also speak angry words without getting angry, a cold hard stare that you have.

I would concentrate on what they are saying now. You can't please everybody otherwise you shall become very tired in the process. Concentrate on the present moment, enjoy your reign some people will love you others will hate you. It is not because you are horrible but because each and everyone of us was raised differently. With different morals and beliefs.

It was important to me to concentrate on now. Their were still some places where my brother had yet to set his own path. Whilst it was okay to try and be like our father and follow his footsteps. It was equally important that people knew he was different from our father. A much more fairer ruler perhaps.

I liked to think that it was the time I spent with Gülfem and listening to the Valide that made me worldly. The other kingdoms fascinated me.

Do you think that Ibrahim will find it hard? That he will have to obey our future children as they will be royal.

I frowned hiding my irritation my brother does not understand what I am trying to say.

What I am getting at dear brother is what rank shall he have after we marry. How will other people great him.

To me Ibrahim was the most loyal out of all my brother's diplomats. Unlike others he had yet to over step the boundaries of my brother.

Did young Esmehan come to see you Hunkarim. She seemed very confused should I say no that is not the word. Concerned she was concerned for our Valide mother and that we are hiding truth from her. Esmehan not our mother.

It was hard to know what to do when it comes down to relatives. Sometimes things happen to protect them because they need to not know what happened in the past.

“Hunkarim, I miss you so much,” I giggled as he took my hand and kissed it as if it was a diamond!

I sigh dreamily as he touches my fiery skin again. “I did not expect to fall for you my sultan -“ I shiver a little as the wind starts to blow and grows cold.

“Thank you Suleyman. I am enjoying spending my nights with you,” As he wrapped me in his cloak , I grasped his hands and stared at him with a fixed gaze.
