- Haci-aga, I need to ask you something important. - I said to Haci as I saw him standing at the corner of the Harem.
- You want to excuse yourself to Kosem Sultana because of your intolerate behaviour? - Haci asked me and he sounded really annoying to me, but I knew he is the only one who can help me.
- Haci-aga, Murad Bey told me I must tell you that you need to help me to return to him. - I said to him as he was my last hope.
Haci didn't answer on my question, he just started laughing at me which made me really confused at that moment.
- I don't know any Murad Bey, Hatun. Maybe you had weird dream about that. - Haci said as he started making fun of him.
I couldn’t believe what just happened. Murad lied to me. Haci can't help me. Why would he lie to me? Why he kissed me? Why he promised me that he would marry me?
At that moment, one woman came in Harem and everyone bowed down to her including Haci-aga. I was confued who is that woman and why should I bow to her? I thought we should bow only to Sultan and Kosem Sultan?

- What kind of disrespect is this, slave? How you can't bow down to me? - Woman dressed in light pink dress with little crystals said to me.
Haci-aga looked at me madly and signalised me to bow to that lady what I did then.
- Sultana, excuse me, she came to Harem today. She doesnt know the rules. - Haci said to her trying to make things better.
- So, she is new concubine in Sultan Murad's harem? - the Lady asked Haci and seemed pretty disappointed in that.
- Yes. - Haci said and the whole situation was quite awkward. That Lady walked closer to me and measured me from head to toe.
- You shouldn't have high hopes, Sultan Murad is with me. I am Baş Haseki, he won't want any other woman than me. - she said with her head raised.
- That is not in my interest. - I said to her and rolled with my eyes. Why would this young lady be with Sultan? Murad also told me Sultan is old and fat and why would young ladies fight for his attention?
Lady left the Harem and Haci aga signalised me to follow him to the Harem Gardens where he could talk with me alone.
- Aleksandra, I know you are new here, but you must learn. I got orders that I must teach you everything about Harem. - Haci-aga said to me and this time he seemed pretty nice towards me.
- But Haci-aga, Murad Bey told me you will help me. Why do you act like you don't know who is he? - I asked him as I was really sad and I couldn't believe Murad lied to me.
- Listen Aleksandra. I don't know who is Murad Bey. You have time to learn all the rules until Sultan returns. They went on Cyprus and he will be back in around two months. In meanwhile, Kosem Sultana will learn you some of the rules. - Haci said to me calmly.
