" Mihrişah, it is nice to see you return. How would someone dare to make such a trap for Sultan's legal wife?" Kosem said as she faked she is happy to see me in Harem.
" I hope that person will be punished really soon, Sultana." I fake smiled to her as I knew she is main reason I was banished.
What Kosem didn't know is that her end is coming soon. I will use whatever she has learned me to use against her. She learned me about everything, and now she thinks she can stop me? But what she didn't know the students always become better than their teachers.
My children awaited for me happily and they were so happy to meet their sisters, Mahpeyker, Mihrimah and Mahinever. Now I had 7 children. Selim, Suleyman, Mehmed, Ismihan Kaya, Mahpeyker, Mihrimah and Mahinever. I would never make difference between them.
I sat together with Kosem in her chambers pretending everything is fine and that I am still loyal to her. I was sure Kosem thinks that I am stupid when I don't know she did that, but it was even better if she thought like this. Because she won't think I am her enemy.
What she didn't know was that Haci-aga is not loyal to her anymore. Haci gave all his effort for her thinking he is loyal, but only person Haci was loyal was Murad.
" Your sister gave birth to Şehzade Osman. My lion Ibrhaim now has his heir." Kosem said proudly to me.
" I hope you hid her well Sultana, because otherwise she can get punished." I said to her as I was afraid for the fate of my sister.
" Don't worry. Zarife and Osman are on safe place in Kafes where Murad will never find them. And obviously he would never be able to find them." Kosem said to me with a smirk, which made me afraid.
" How do you mean, Sultana?" I asked her confusedly by her words.
" Murad made you suffer a lot. I have a plan, but I must know if you are with me in this." Kosem said and then stopped, waiting for my reaction.
I just nodded to her as I wanted to hear what her plan was.
" We must remove Murad from the throne. He has done only bad to you and to me, and to people. We will dethrone him and put another Sultan on the Throne." Kosem said prouldy and now I was afraid what was her idea.

" And who would you like to put on the throne, Sultana?" I asked her. Of course I will never support her in this idea, because I wanted Murad to rule.
" I will put my son Ibrahim on the Throne." Kosem said to me.
" And what favour could I get from that, Sultana? What I have in that?" I asked her. Her plan made sound nonsense.
" Ibrahim has mental problems. He is sick. He won't be able to rule for a long time. But we will put him now, because we want to stop the Law of Fracticide. Then, we will dethrone him and put your son Selim on the throne." Kosem said prouldy.
" I don't want my sons to be locked in Kafes." I said to her and raised my head.
" They won't be. They will live free here in Palace. When Selim becomes Sultan, you will be his Valide Sultana and I will be Buyuk Valide Sultana. " Kosem said to me and raised her head.
She only wanted another marionette with whom she could rule the Empire alone. When Murad took her her regency role, she doesnt love him anymore and now she wants her another son to be on the throne, and then grandson.
" Tonight there will be Secret Divan in my Vakuf. I want you to be there." Kosem said to me with a smile and I accepted it.
When the night was coming, I was getting ready to go with Kosem in her Vakuf. But before I went to Kosem, I went to Murad.
He awaited me in his chambers and he was reading a book for the whole time.
" Mihrişah, what happened?" he asked me when I came into his chambers.
" Come with me, now you will see what your mother is doing against you. I lied to her I am with her in this, but this is terrible. She wants to put Ibrahim on the throne, and then dethrone him to put Selim. Come with me." I said to him and took his hand.
With our hands together we walked through the Palace until we came to the carriage. I knew Kosem has already left, and Haci awaited for me and Murad.
When we came there, Murad hid himself so Kosem couldn't see he is there, but he could see and hear everything that is happening.
Together with Haci-aga I came inside and bowed to Kosem which was sitting on her throne. Around her were all viziers and influential man in Ottoman Empire, with Grand Vizier Kemankes Mustafa-paşa.
" I called you all today because after months of a long work, I finally have a great plan how to improve our Ottoman Empire on better." Kosem said proudly as she was sitting on her throne.
She was so power hungry, that if she could she would name herself Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. She only wanted to rule through her marionette which would listen to her.
" Sultana, what brilliant plan have you came up with again?" her right hand and Grand Vizier Kemankes Mustafa Paşa asked.
" As you know, Sultan Murad makes only bad decisions. His politic isnt doing really well. We need to get rid of him on the throne. People are unhappy because of him. " Kosem said and all viziers nodded affirmatevly as a sign of support to her.
" We will dethrone him. And then we will put my son Ibrahim on the throne. " Kosem said prouldy.
" But Sultana, all the people know, Şehzade Ibrahim is like Sultan Mustafa. He is not menatally stable." one of the viziers said and then Kosem looked at him like she is ready to kill him from anger.
I could only imagine how Murad feels when he is listening to all of this. Everyone was against him. Everyone.
" We will put Ibrahim on the Throne just to accept that the law of fracticide doesn't exist anymore. After few months, we will dethrone Ibrahim and put Mihrişah's son Selim on the Throne. Then I will rule as his regent as he is minor." Kosem said and all the viziers bowed to her.
I knew this could lead one day my son Selim into the problems, and I didn't want that to happen.
" Attention! His Imperial Majesty Sultan Murad Khan!"
At that moment everyone stood up and bowed to him. I looked at Kosem's face which was so pale.
Murad looked at everyone here, except Haci and me, angrily.
Next to him came Silahtar and Janissaries. Murad seemed so angry, and I was so glad I finally showed him how is his mother.
