THE SULTAN'S HEART| MAGNIFICENT CENTURY|

CHAPTER 048

A soft hand rubbing my cheek pulled me out of my slumber. I opened my eyes slowly to not hurt them in the light. I saw Suleiman sitting on the bed beside me with his hand on my cheek, he was looking down at me worriedly.

"Suleiman" I whispered smiling. He was back with me, which means they've found Hürrem and brought her back here.

"My moon, how are you feeling?" Suleiman asked. He ran his fingers through my hair soothingly. I sighed at the calming gesture.

"Much better now that you're here by my side" I answered raising my hand and placed it on his cheek. He took my hand into his and kissed my knuckles sweetly.

"Have you found Hürrem?" I asked worriedly trying to sit up but the ache all over my body prevented that. Suleiman jumped to the help when I winced. He helped me lean back against the pillows before taking my hands into his.

"Yes, she is in her room being treated" he answered. I sighed in relief, Hürrem was my friend and it was only right I was glad over her return.

"Will you stay here for the night?" I asked tightening my grip on his hands. Suleiman smiled and leaned over placing a kiss on my forehead.

"I don't have the heart to leave you after what had happened to you, my Qamar" he whispered. I smiled happily as he pulled away from only to join me in the bed from the other side. I slid back down and let him pull me closer to his chest feeling calmness weave its way into me as I listened to his heartbeat.

A couple of days have passed since the incident and I was back on my feet which was a good thing because I didn't want to scare the kids more than they already were. I decided to visit Hürrem today since I felt much better and with a lot of energy.

The doors to Hürrem's room opened in front of me and I walked in. Hürrem was laying in her bed on many pillows and blankets. She looked exhausted with some bruises here and there visible on her face and Allah alone knows how many more there were on her body.

"Hürrem, how are you feeling?" I asked standing at the foot of her bed. She smiled at me and used the bars around the bed to pull herself in a sitting position with a wince of pain.

"I'm recovering as you can see. How are you? I've heard of what had happened the same night I was attacked" I sighed shaking my head. We both knew who was behind those incidents and what their motive was.

"I'm fine, as you can see I'm back on my feet, hopefully, you will fully recover soon. I miss having someone create drama in the harem again" I said making her chuckle. I walked closer to the bed and let myself sit on the end facing her.

"You know who did this, don't you?" I asked. She rolled her eyes and nodded her head in confirmation.

"We need to stop her," I said strongly. She sighed shaking her head with a sad look on her face.

"Let's leave her, we are not as strong as she is," Hürrem said shaking her head. I nodded in understanding but that didn't make me any less angry.

"I hope you get well soon," I said patting her leg before getting up and leaving her room. I get bad got Hürrem because her beating was much worse than mine but that didn't make what the valide did any less horrible.

As the months passed Hürrem recovered and everyone was busy preparing for the Sehzades circumcision. Suleiman decided to circumcise Mustafa, Mehmed, Osman, Selim, and Abdullah. He believed that Murad and Beyazid were still too young to go through this.

"Is everything prepared Rosie? I don't want anything to go wrong today" I warned smothering down my new dress a little. I had made the semester sew this dress specifically for this event because it happens only once to those who get it done.
