"Give your daughters difficult names. Give your daughters names that command the full use of tongue. My name makes you want to tell me the truth. My name doesn't allow me to trust anyone that cannot pronounce it right."
- You should think again what you are speaking to me, that is impossible, Hanzade. - I said to Şahin as I was shocked what was his offer to me.
No matter I found him really attractive, my Valide Safiye Sultan would never allow me to do that. She would be angry on me if I would ever even mention that to her.
- You may think it's impossible now, but if you ever change my mind, my offer is still there for you. - Şahin said to me.

- If you are enemy of my mother Safiye Sultan, why would you propose her daughter? - I asked him and looked at him seriously.
It annoyed me how I couldn't see the real truth in him. My brain said to me that I shouldn't trust him and that his wish to marry me was just for some of his goods.
- Because you are not like your mother, Sultana. Safiye Sultana always looked at me as an enemy, even though I have never done something bad to her. - Şahin said to me.

- My first marriage was without love, you know that alone. There were plenty of bad stories of me because I didn't give him children. I would never allow myself to come in situation to marry if I don't feel love towards that person. - I said to him and looked him deep in his deep black eyes.
Şahin just looked at me seriously for few seconds. Then he came closer to me and took my hand in his hands. And then he looked me deep in my eyes, it felt like he is hypnotising me.
- Who said that marriage would be without love, Sultana? - he asked me as he was gently touching my hand.
