     Edirne was shaking from the fear and men in market have been making chaos. News about Murad's bad condition spreaded whole Empire.
   In Sultan's chamber he was lying in coma and Mara Sultan, Selim Pasha and Main Doctor surrounded him.
Mature and experienced physician was hopeless, but on the order of  Mara Sultan, he was lying to everyone bout her and her trusted people.

- Sultan- Doctor said politely- Sultan's skin has become stiff and waxy and his facial has become sharper
- But is he breathing? - Selim Pasha asked with terrify, Mara Sultan started to lean on the desk
- Yes, but it's already metter of 2 or 3 days, maybe 4 if Allah lets him

Selim Pasha and Mara looked at each other with a fear in their eyes
- Oh Allah, Mehmet won't even arrived till day after tomorrow, what can we do, Pasha?- Mara said panically
   Selim had got his face expressionless for a while notwhistending he got some idea.
- My Sultan, there is way, we could prevent Halil Pasha and Alime Sultan- He shouted aloud- But it's a crime
- I don't have time consider what is right and what is wrong, Pasha- Mara said irritated- I wrote a letter to Mehmet luckily
- It's outstanding news, our Sehzade is very impulsive, he surely started the trip- Selim Pasha said- We need to write Sultan's will about locking up Sehzade Ahmet and Yusuf to prevent the rebellion and convince everyone that Mehmet is imprisoned in Saruhan too
   Mara looked at him with admiration, it was such an amazing plan
- And we must add that no one apart hatuns with food for them can visit Sehzades- Mara added smiling cunningly
- Exactly, our Sultan- Selim Pasha said- We will do it and I am going to inform main Janissaries comanders to join Mehmet on the way here

   On the other side of Palace, square of Sultan greeting his subjects and soldiers, Grand Vizier Halil Pasha has been walking by it, he came back from Palace library, but he met some precious character. It was Sehzade Ahmet, his last hope even though he was unsure about him. Finally, Ahmet was in the age of Mehmet, when they were forced to dethronised him. Young Prince was unexperienced and immature, he didn't even have his son and it was a risk he might be infertile.
  Halil Pasha bowed in front of Ahmed giving him respect.

- The circumstonces are showing us now that it is not time for kidding, my Pasha- Ahmet said taking a sight- I can't believe that our Sultan is in not the worst condition, if he only guests his favourite wife, Mara Sultan
- Our Doctor said that it is a normal cold, all of you are producing useless panic, my Sehzade- Halil Pasha said with pity
- But if my intuition is right, what will happen if my father die?
  Halil Pasha swallowed hard and tried to say something, but Sehzade Ahmet interrupted him
- He will kill me, my sister Selcuk, Yusuf and cut off yours and Ishak's Pasha head, he will replace both of yoh with unexperienced, young beys, who are surrounding him in Manisa and he will attack Constantinopol and destroy our Empire- Ahmed said with commited
- Allah forbid...
- Mehmet is so vindictive, he exactly remember how you dethronised him years ago, he hates you and you too, so why are you so careless and don't you prevent him?! - Ahmed shout
- Maybe he get it why we had to do it...
- He call you a "Bastard dog" in every oppurtunity, my Pasha, we could prevent it
- How? My Sehzade- Halil Pasha started to act like a fool, he exactly knew what Sehzade had on his mind
-If you let me sit on the throne, I never humilate you, I appreciated your mature and how bright Pasha you are
- Don't get me wrong, you didn't even rule sanjak, you...
- I know- Ahmet said- But you can be my right hand and I can make Hatice Hatun merry you, so Zagan Pasha will have to be obedient
- You are great negotiator, Sehzade, your proposal is quite good

  Suddenly four guard were running into Sehzade Ahmet

- What are you doing?! - Ahmed shouted- How dare you?
- It is order of Sultan Murad, my Sehzade- guard said- he wants to locked up all Sehzades to prevent the rebellion
