I ran to my chambers as fast as I could and I saw Nastya's dead body laying on the floor while Lalezar was tied up with a rope so she couldn't speak. She was whole beaten.
I yelled a scream as I couldn't believe what I saw in front of my eyes. I went into smaller room where children were and I saw Mahinever, Mihrimah, Mahpeyker and Ismihan Kaya crying.
" Girls... What... What happened?" I asked them as I couldn't believe what I saw in front of my eyes.
" Valide... Atike Sultana took my brothers..." Ismihan Kaya started crying and I hugged her to calm her down even though I was so afraid.
Murad came into chambers and ran towards me to see what happened and he was scared also.
" Murad! Atike took my sons." I went to hug Murad. This was the first time I saw him after he return, and we also had an emergency situation.
Haci took my daughters with him on safe place, while I followed Murad. He went into Atike's chambers where she was sitting.
" Where are my children?" Murad yelled on her and she seemed confused, while I couldn't stop from crying.
" I will give them to you if you give Ibrahim to me." Atike stood up and started threatening Murad.
" Atike, where are my children? Are they alive?" I asked her as I was in tears and I was so weak.
" They are alive. For now. If you dont give me Ibrahim till night, your sons will die." Atike threatened to Murad.
" Give me my sons, right now." Murad yelled on her as angrily as he was never before.
" I told you what I want. Give me Ibrahim till night, or your children will be dead. " Atike yelled on him.
Murad left her chambers and I followed him. He went outside of Palace and went to his horse.
" Mihrişah, stay in the palace." Murad said to me as he was really nervous.
" Murad, I can't. I can't. I need to find them." I said to him as I couldn't stop the tears.
" Mihrişah, stay in palace, please." Murad looked at me sadly, but no one could stop me from going with him.
" My life has no sense if they aren't with me, please take me with you." I said to him and he gave up so he helped me to sit up on his horse together with him.
We were riding a horse for some time, I never saw this way.
" I know where they might be. At that place they locked us while we were young. They wanted to kill us also." Murad said as we continued to ride the horse.
We came to Old House where Murad was locked while he was a child with his brother, we checked it, but there was no one inside.
" Murad, give her Ibrahim. Give her Ibrahim please. Don't risk your sons because of him." I said to Murad as I couldn't stop tears going down my face.
" Ibrahim will be killed. I must punish him because if I don't they will do this again to me." Murad said to me as he was nervous and he started putting his hands on his head.
" Aren't your sons more important to you? What you have from Ibrahim? He is mentaly ill. Give him to Atike, you can always punish him later. " I begged him even though I knew this is going to be hard.
" You know she won't give me my sons even though I give her Ibrahim? I know her very well to know how is she. She didn't do this alone, Valide helped her." Murad said to me.
" Why don't you at least risk? What you will have with this? You are making them alone killing our children." I said to him as I couldn't stand the pain in my heart which I was feeling.
" Only thing I want is to find them healthy and alive now." he said as he couldn't stop being nervous.
We sat on the horse and headed back to Palace as the night was almost coming, and it was time to talk with Atike.
" I will give you Ibrahim, and you will give me my children." Murad said to Atike as I made him to do it. Selim, Suleyman and Mehmed's lives were more important than anything.
" You will give me Ibrahim, and I will tell you where they are." Atike said and raised her head.
" Atike, you will go with me, and show me where my children are." Murad started threatening her.
" You are not in position to threat me now. I will go and show you where they are but you will give me Ibrahim now. " Atike said to him, and she was right. Murad could do nothing to threat her now, because she was the one who had his children.
Murad calmed down and ordered Haci to get Ibrahim here. Two aghas came and they hold Ibrahim on each of his hands. Atike smiled happily when he gave her Ibrahim.
" Now it is your turn, give me my sons." Murad said.
We followed Atike in carriage as she said to us she will give us our children. I sat next to Murad who hold my hands for the whole time.
I didn't even have the time to tell him I'm pregnant again, but nothing could stop the pain we feel right now.
I was scared what is Atike doing. I was afraid if she would really give us our children.
We arrived at the middle of the forrest with Atike. Murad, my brother Mahmud, Silahtar and I were there.
" What should this mean? Where are the children?" Murad asked her.
" See over there." Atike said and pointed to house which was full of smoke.
I ran there together with Murad as we saw the house is burning, and inside there were our children.
" They are burning!" I yelled as I knew I have nothing to do how to save them. Fire was all over the house, and I knew I would burn alive if I stepped there.
At that moment, my brother Mahmud removed his sword and ran into the house which was on fire. I was afraid that in this moment I will lose both my brother and my sons.
" He burned there." I said to Murad as I couldn't stop crying, as Mahmud wasn't coming out for few minutes.
At that moment, Mahmud came outside holding my sons and running from the fire.
I saw my lions coming out healthy.
