[I]I had not returned to Topkapi since the passing of my father. I had had news that my brother -the sultan- was at a war with emperor Charles. Knowing that my carriage would have to be pulled through-out the streets I travelled incognito. Their were people of many religions know residing in Turkey. Italian, Spanish,French ambassadors. All here doing doing their kings work.
The aroma of spices and herbs seeped into my little carriage. Taking a deep breath,I enhailed them in, feeling the pressures of my body relax at the smell of home.
When we approached the palace my guard knocked letting us know of our arrival. One by one the appointed concubines who were to serve me filled around me. An eunuch came out with curious eyes wondering who this person might be. As I unveiled myself the eunuch rushed back into the palace calling for my brother.
Suleyman came to greet his sister Hafsa personally as he heard about her arrival to Palace. Followed by his guards, he approached her opening his arms and smiling, while concubines and eunuches were bowing deeply
Hafsa..my dear sister! Welcome to the Palace! Valide told me that you were about to come. I missed you. How are you?
He let her kiss his hand and then he kissed gently her forehead

Hafsa was shocked to see that her brother had grown in age. He looked more pleasing on the eye since becoming a king. Hafsa herself kept to more simple clothing, not wanting to draw attention to herself.
Kardeş it is so good to see you, especially as the Sultan."
She whispered softly as she looked away shly. Hafsa did miss her family but not the palace and the memories it held for her.
Our beloved Valide speaks most highly of you, you are her favourite her little sun. I say that I thought that I would never come back here but I am sure it has changed to a place of happiness since your reign.
Suleyman smiled. He kissed his sister's hand before replying
As I told to Valide, I just hope to be like our father. He taught me so many things, and I'll try to be worthy of his throne, Hafsa. I find you very well. You never lose your royality even if you like clothing simply. Your nieces and our sisters can't wait to see you again. Let me accompany you until your chambers, Kardeş. So we can talk more privately..
He added smiling and whispering, while eunuchs were bringing her lugguages inside Palace
