Magnificent Century

A NEW LOVE 🌹

Sultan Ahmed's pov;

Today was the worst day of My life , today was the day i lost my reason to live , my supporter , my shoulder to cry on , my best friend , today was the day i lost my brother . It all happened when i was trying to fall asleep but i just couldn't i felt like there was a heavy weight on my chest but there was nothing , alas when i was almost asleep i saw someone's shadow go past my room to my brothers room , after a few seconds there were more people , that's when i realized tat they were here to kill my brother , i quickly ran out if my room to warn him but one of the guards held me back abd i couldn't do anything . That night my brother left me in this cruel world .

Three Months Later:

Its been three months since i last came out of my room , my mother tried to do everything in her might to get me out but she knew I couldn't because the grief was too much  . One day safiye sultan called me to her room to show me some gifts she got from edrine just for me , i didn't want to get out of my room but i decided that i shouldn't disrespect her so i went there and asked : " what are these objects sultanim ?" , To which she replied : " i know how sad you have been so i got you some gifts from around the world , i just want you to be happy". At the time i didn't think much of it so i started looking around but nothing caught my eye there were a lot of magnificent objects and portraits shining like diamonds , giving so much light but i felt like if i look at them more my life becomes more dark , just as i was about to turn around a portrait caught my eye or more specifically a girls oh screw that a beautiful girl's portrait in the very back of the room , i might have gasped a bit louder than i wanted to because i heard safiye sultan softly giggling behind me , but i didn't care at the moment , i just wanted to see who the girl was  as i got closer i slowly lifted the portrait up and was met with such an astonishing beauty that i was paralyzed , the first thing that i saw was her beautiful and enchanting grey , emerald green ish eyes , and not just any eyes no , i felt like those innocent and curious eyes were looking into my soul searching for something and all i wanted to do was give it to her , the next thing that i saw was her long thick brunette chestnut hair , the color of her hair was something i had never seen in a girl before , half of it was brunette and the other half was just like chestnut , i slowly lifted my hand and caressed her cheek then her hair and her eyes , i knew she wasn't here right now but i already fell in love , I didn't care who was behind me it felt like it was just me and her , slowly i came back out of my trance and asked sultana in almost a whisper :  " who is she ?" , she then replied : " her name is Callista and she is from a greek island , i dont know much but I'm sure abdul pasha knows." I only heard that her name was callista and she is from greece , "Callista" , i whispered it meant  most beautiful , and i could see that . Safiye Sultan said i could take the portrait with me and she would order the pasha's (guards)  to get her , i obviously knew that they were going to kidnap her and i felt really bad for her but she was the only person that could bring back the light in my life , i know its too soon and i haven't even met her but she already captured my heart without even knowing. That night i fell asleep looking at Callista , that night for the first time in my entire life i fell asleep safely and with a smile on my face , callista was more than a beautiful face to me there was more to her beauty "innocence" and i wanted to know more about her . When i was sleeping i had a dream that i was in a big green garden laying there not being able to move and my father was sitting on a throne above me and then there was blood everywhere , i woke up with a start and sweaty , heavily breathing but when i looked at Callistas portrait i slowly started to calm down , just as i was about to drink some water somebody came infront of my room and i knew they were here to kill me as well , was my father so cruel he wanted to kill another one of his sons , i pretended to be asleep by holding a knife under my pillow when someone came in and touched my arm i instantly but the knife on their throat only to see Rehan Agha (guard) standing there looking at me nervously he quickly composed himself and bowed to me and said : " my prince your father wants to see you ." , i already knew what this meant so i asked him : " he's gonna  kill me too right?" , he didn't say anything just told me to follow him so i stood up changed into my day wear and followed him to the doors of my destiny .
