" Where is that woman?" I asked Kemankes as we took carriage and went to the city to see where is the woman Murad has been to.
" She is there, Sultana. That is her house." Kemnakes said and we walked towards her house.
At that moment, woman with long blonde hair and blue eyes came outside of the house and looked shocked at me and Kemnakes what we are doing here.
" Who are you? What are you doing here?" she asked me nervously as she didn't know who I was.

" I am Mihrişah Sultan. Sultan Murad's wife and mother of his children. And who are you?" I asked her as I pretended I am strong now, but inside my heart I was dying from pain.
Only to imagine Murad with another woman made me feel pain. Imagine him kissing or touching another woman made me feel dying inside.
" I am Leyla. I am his favourite. You came here to threat me?" she asked me with her head raised.
" So you are meeting with Sultan Murad?" I asked her seriously trying not to show my weakness in front of anyone, especially not in front of her and Kemankes.
" Sultan is visiting me for a long time. What do you want from me?" she asked me with her head raised.
" Mother, who is that?" I heard child's voice walking towards Leyla. I saw a boy and girl who were cca 4 years old.
I looked at them and I felt like I am ready to collapse. Those. Are. Murad's. Children?
" No one my dears, go back inside." Leyla said and ordered her children to leave her alone with me.
" Are those Murad's children?" I asked her as I was almost at the edge of tears, but didn't want to show her that.
" Yes, those are Osman and Fahriye." she said. It would have been easier to me if someone killed me at this moment than if I should hear that Murad has a lover for all of these years and he even has children with her.
" Soon, Sultan Murad will take us to Palace as Osman is his eldest son and he is the heir to the theone." Leyla said and raised her head.

" Osman will be never able to be heir to the throne because he is not born in Harem, and to Sultan it was forbidden to be with you. You cant go to Harem." I said to her angrily.
" Why do you care about that when more important thing is that Sultan had a lover beside you for all those years. And you believed he really loves you? Each night he wasn't in Palace, he was here with me." Leyla stepped closer to me.
At that moment I was ready to slap her but I knew I couldn't achieve anything with behaviour like this. The only one who deserved to be punished is Murad.
" If I hear any more time that you are close with Murad, I will kill you. I will do that myself alone." I threated her.
Leyla just laughed and went back in her house. I turned to Kemankes and we started walking to the carriage, but then I heard familiar voice calling me.
" Mihrişah, what are you doing here?" I saw angry Murad who is standing at another side of carriage looking at me and Kemankes.
My heart almost stopped from the shock I recieved when I heard his voice. I shouldn't leave the Palace, especially not with Kemankes. I knew this won't be good.
" How can you go outside with Kemankes? What do you think you are doing?" he started yelling on me angrily. I couldn’t believe how is he the one who is yelling on me now when I should do that to him when he has a lover now.
" I went to see who your lover is, Murad. I went to see how you lied to me all those years and you have another beside." I yelled on him not caring how will he take it.
" Mihrişah. What are you talking?" Murad yelled on me and he seemed pretty confused.
" Kemankes, what is this?" Murad yelled on Kemankes not giving me even time to answer him.
" Hunkarim, Mihrişah Sultana called me because she wanted to talk with me. I didn't know what it was so I came..." Kemankes started lying to Murad. What was happening now?
" What? How can you go with my wife somewhere? Do you know this is forbidden?" Murad started yelling on Kemankes like he is crazy.
" Sultana wanted to make political alliance with me to put her son Selim on the throne. I couldn’t accept it, I would give my life to you, Hunkarim." Kemankes said and he bowed to Sultan.
I couldn't believe. They did a trap for me. Kosem did this on purpose obviously.
" Mihrişah. What do you think who you are? How can you do something like this?" Murad came closer to me and yelled so loudly that in usual moments I would be afraid, but not now.
" They did a trap for me Murad. Kemankes and Kosem did it. Kemankes took me here to show your lover Leyla and your children with her not this." I yelled on him back as I couldn't keep it in myself anymore.
"What Leyla? Who is that? What are you talking about?" Murad said to me and he seemed confusedly.
I couldn't believe how stupid I could be so I did this. Leyla wasnt his lover but they did this on purpose to get rid of me.
" Murad...." I said to him as I couldn't handle this anymore.
" Return to the Palace, there we will talk about your punishment." Murad said coldly and turned his back to me.
" Murad, this is not my mistake. I haven't done anything. They did a trap for me." I came closer to him and started crying.
" Dont talk to me ever again. Don't show in front of me. " Murad said and ordered aghas to take me into carriage which will lead me to the Palace, where Murad will decide how he will punsih me.
