It's been more than two weeks since we returned to the capital as Mehmed was appoint the regent while the Sultan is away.

We got married this morning and I converted into muslim as I have to according to the Ottoman law. It was ten days celebration as he was the son of the living monarch. The son of the ruler of the world.

And I officially became Halime Sultan, wife of Şehzade Mehmed.

At first people were shock as he may or may not be the first prince in the ottoman dynasty to marry a woman who didn't gave him a heir. Many were happy, some were against it especially his aunts but who cares about their opinion.

"You look beautiful, Sultanam." Firuze Kalfa said as she smiled at me. "Look at you, just some months ago you told me you we're being held hostage by our Şehzade and today you married him."

"Anyway, we shouldn't let our Şehzade wait. He must be waiting for you." She teased and the rest of the girls giggled while my cheeks turned deep red.

I stood up and they put a red veil over my head covering my face before walking me out and towards Mehmed's chamber.

As we walk pass the Harem, the girls gathered at the door trying their best to have a look at me as I walk by. Some glared at me while the others smiled and giggled.

They left me at the door and I entered with looking up fidgeting with fingers nervously. I stopped right in front of him and nervously look up at him to see him already looking down at me.

He smirked before grabbing me by my waist and with the other hand lifting off the veil.

He eyes roamed all over my face as I just kept staring at him not knowing how to react.

He leaned down close to my ear before whispering. "You look beautiful and ravishing."

"That's a really dirty word coming from a Şehzade." I said and he chuckled at me.

"Only for you Halime. Only for you." He whispered before crashing his lips on mine. At first, it was slow and sweet then it turned into passionate and demanding filled with urgency.

He pinned me on the near by wall and pinned my hands above our heads with his one hand while the other one wrapped around my waist pulling me close to him, leaving no space between us.

"You are driving me crazy Halime." He whispered before placing wet kisses down my neck and I arched my back in pleasure.

He picked me up bridal style before placing me on bed. He yanked off his shirt and threw it to God knows where and I shamelessly stare at his toned chest and abs before running my fingers on them.

"Let me take care of you tonight, love." He said before leaning in an claiming my lips before passionately claiming me as his.

"My father unbanished Orhan and allowed both him and his mother to return to the palace." He said as our lovemaking session was over. He laid on top on me with his head on my chest and my hands around his neck keeping him closer to me.

I frowned but didn't said anything after all he was the Sultan who was I to say anything against his order.

"Say something." He said as he look up at me and I chuckled at his cute frown that was forming in his forehead before kissing it.

"Who am I to say anything when the Sultan himself ordered it. But if they try anything which will harm you, I won't keep quiet. And after all, they can't do anything to me. I'm too smart for their stupid brains to harm me." I said and he grinned at me before laying down beside and pulling me into his arms.

He kissed my forehead before speaking. "I promise you that you will be the only woman in my life."

"You better or I'll kill you myself." I said and he laughed before pulling me closer to him and I melt into his warmness.

The morning came earlier than I throught and before I knew, it was time for Mehmed to go to work.

I arranged his kaftan and his head gear while he wrapped his arms around my waist grinning down at me.

"Don't move too much." I slapped his arm as he kept on trying to kiss me and he chuckled before successfully kissing me and I slapped his arm again.

"Perfect." I said as I was finally done with the head gear and all. "Now, get out of here or I'll kick you out."

He laughed putting his hands up in surrender before grabbing my hand and we walked out together.

"Hümaşah wants you to have tea with her. I hope you don't mind." He said as he titled his head and I shrugged.

"Atleast, She is a better company than you are." I teased and he rolled his eyes.

"Attention. His highness Şehzade Mehmed and Halime Sultan is coming." The door man announced as we neared the Harem. The girls in the Harem lined up while Hümaşah Sultan came out smiling at me before embracing me into a tight hug.

"I'll take that as my clue to leave." Mehmed said and winked at me before leaving while I just rolled my eyes at him with red cheeks.

"Congratulations, Halime Sultan." Sadika greeted as she bowed down before smiling at me and I smiled at her before hugging her.

"Thank you, Sadika Hatun." I said and pulled her with me and Hümaşah Sultan to a nearby couch.

We chatted about the baby and all as we had our tea and relaxed enjoying each others company and that's when the witch and his son arrived.

"Attention. Hafsa Sultan, Şehzade Orhan and Ayşe Sultan is coming." The door man announced and all the Harem girls again assemble in line including Sadika as she was also a slave and concubine while Hümaşah Sultan and I just sat there with bored face.

"The witch is back. We must be more careful now as she is accompanied by two more witches." Hümaşah Sultan Whispered to me referring to the Ottoman witches and I just smirked knowing I was going to make their life a living hell.

"Don't worry, Sultanam. I'll make sure to make them pay and regret for what they did." I said before smiling at her and she nodded smiling back at me.

The witch entered with her daughter and scanned the whole room and looking at everyone sternly like she was the owner of the damn place.

Then her gaze fell on me and turned into a furious one. She walked towards me with her daughter trailing behind her and we stood up. They bowed at Hümaşah Sultan who just nodded at Ayşe before they turned to me.

"How dare you a mere slave-"

"Aiiii, stop there." I covered my ears with my hands as I spoke in an annoyed tone and everyone turns towards me with horror face.

"I told you from before too, Hafsa Sultan. I am. A. Free. Woman." I said and her face turn more furious. Her daughter advanced towards me before raising her hand to slap me but I stopped her hand.

"Careful Ayşe." I addressed her by her name earning alot of gasp from some of the dump girls who forgot I was the legal wife of their Şehzade and she was younger than me which means I have more power than her. "You might want to think twice before slapping me. I assure you, I'm quiet a good fighter."

Hümaşah Sultan stepped forward before pushing her hand away. "Ayşe, she is your brother's legal wife. Not a slave or a concubine so, behave yourself." She warned and they looked at each other in confusion.

"Şehzade Mehmed married her?" Hafsa Sultan asked to which both Hümaşah Sultan and I nodded.

"I assume, it must have been a long tiring journey. Go and take rest. Sumbul agha will show you your new room." Hümaşah Sultan said as she sat down and Hafsa Sultan glared at her.

"Why? What happened to our old rooms." She questioned and Hümaşah Sultan glared at her. Ohk. Let's make it more spicier.

"Ah, I assume the aghas didn't tell you." I sat down beside Hümaşah Sultan before smirking at them. "It is Hümaşah Sultan who possessed all the attributes of the Valide Sultan. She is the new ruler of the Harem." I said and their face turned pale. Good job Halime.
