Meeting Room

I sat happily chatting with Mustafa and the handsome young boy he had turned into with eye's like his farther. My brother I had not seen in a long while since we last spoke I turned to my nephew.

Now Mustafa this is our little secret don't tell no one how much Turkish delight I have fed you this afternoon.

I could hear the footsteps of the guards which escorted my brother everywhere and smiled wondering if he was going to grace us with his company. I quickly turned and wiped the power from Mustafa face due to the Turkish delight holding a finger to my lip happy to see him do the same.

I ran into my brother's arms it had been so long since I had last seen him.

Oh I have missed you to abi! What have you been up to I wanted to talk with you about Ibrahim

My brother was never formal with me

I have been chatting to your "captive princess" why are you not truly happy about my choice in this my own life! You should be happy for me abi! You have a Harem full of ladies that make you happy, a wife and a princess on the side. I think you would rather keep me under your thumb and marry me to a pascha that can benefit your kingdom it's times like this I see our farther in you unfair and cruel

I never spoke my mind either not even to my brother

I wondered why my albi was so bothered about Princess Fortuna

Well she has taught me that I have to stop pleasing you and live my own life as you are only my albi not Farther

She will only deny saying such things why did you have to mix pleasure with business. What will happen if she meets your rose of spring or carries you a child. I am big girl now albi I can fend for myself now. I have no need to keep you happy as I have my own life I think she has opened my eye's to a much bigger world.

I had only met her once over a long hour period

She seems to know my Ibrahim pretty well anything you want to tell me their and must he always escort her everywhere you have already broken my heart by doing this

I looked at my albi even more hurt

He asked you not the you him? Everything we do is around our religion but I stupidly thought he has been with us for so long that he had forgotten all his old religion now you must think me naive but why who he escort her why

I rested my head on my albi chest and sobbed so much had happened what with our farther passing this transit was hard my albi was now king

I wrapped my arms a little tighter around my albi

Will things change between us when I marry albi

I lifted my head up towards my albi and smiled

That is very good to hear and Ibrahim is very good with Mustafa how are things with your marriage.

I smiled very happy to hear this and kissed my albi hands

Another Sultan for you albi such blessing that Allah has bestowed upon you.

I wrapped my arms around him with my head resting on his chest

Oh albi I am so happy for you any excuse to spend more time with Mustafa.

I could not avoid eye contact with my albi but I looked down upset at what I had to tell him

I fear that is my fault one of her ladies told her about me and Ibrahim before me or you could even tell her. She refuses to see me I was thinking maybe she would like to see sah can we invite her here

I had glassy eyes of tears I did not want to cause any upset to my albi in his glorious reign let alone my mother.

I began to pluck imaginary fluff of his clothes

Yes that is because I wasn't planning to marry him at the time now I am it is like he is no good for me

I could feel my lower lip tremble I had not even told şah I wasn't even sure if she was at court yet. I shook my head with a no response and a quick shrug of my shoulders

I have yet to tell her of my news can you summon her here please. Who else in the palace knows of me and Ibrahim

I asked curious but I always had my albi the most generous king that ever ruled this empire which made me love him more.
