Living a normal life was now impossible to Lily after being kidnapped by the tatters. She was stolen off of the boat that was supposed to take her to England to study from the White Sea after visiting her family that lived in Egypt because of her fa...
"Father decided to go to the hunting lodge and he will be bringing me and Mehmed with him and Abdullah too" Osman looked more excited than he has ever been. I smiled seeing the happiness in the eyes of my sons.
"I heard he will be bringing Firuze too, a goodbye trip before the campaign" Mihrimah spoke. My head snapped in her direction confused. Suleiman was taking Firuze and not me?
"What about mother?" Abdullah asked standing up from the couch. He looked furious. I stood up and placed a hand on his shoulder to keep him calm.
"I do not know" Mihrimah mumbled looking down disappointedly. My heart fluttered seeing how she was sad over my sadness. I truly loved Mihrimah as a daughter, she was no threat to any of my children.
"Excuse me, mother"Mihrimah stood up from the ottoman. I nodded my approval of her leaving. She bowed and left the room.
"We have to leave too, mother, we have a sword fighting lesson with Bali Bey" Osman stood up and placed an arm around Abdullah's shoulders. Abdullah's face brightened at the mention of sword fighting and his favorite soldier, Bali Bey.
"Yes of course" I nodded. It struck me then, Bali Bey, Mihrimah has had a crush on him since she was a child, I can marry Bali Bey to Mihrimah to pull him to my side and make her forget all about TasliCali who is definitely on Mustafa's side, he will try to pull her to Mustafa's side if I let them marry.
"Hundi!" I called standing up from the throne excitedly. Bali Bey is on no one's side meaning it will be much easier to pull my side. Hundi walked in worriedly at the sudden calling but relaxed when she saw my grin.
"What is it Sultanim?" Hundi asked bowing to me. I stalked over to her and placed each on a shoulder.
"I just found a solution for Mihrimah and TasliCali" I responded excitedly. Hundi's face split into a smile of relief.
"I decided to marry her to Bali Bey, the man she's had a crush on since she was a small child and at the same time a strong soldier who I would be honored to have him on my side" I explained my plan. Hundi clapped her hands happily.
"Amazing idea, I will try to get the idea in her head whenever I can" Hundi already knew her part without me having to order her to. Other people getting those ideas in her head will help.
"Go for it and call Halil for me" I ordered. She bowed before leaving. I moved to the jug of water and filled a cup made of silver and gold before gulping it down. The doors opened again and Halil walked in with a smile.
"Halil, have you gotten what I asked for?" I asked turning to face Halil. Halil placed a hand into his pocket and pulled up a small box. I took it from him and opened it to show the small vial filled with a green liquid.
"No one will suspect a thing. This poison will go straight to the heart and many doctors mistake it for a heart attack. Sümbul will take care of the doctors who will identify the causes of death with some bags of gold" Halil spoke proudly of the plan he and Sümbul helped me come up with. I sighed in relief admiring the vial that will save my sisters and daughter.
"Excellent" I whispered. I closed the box and moved to the closet near the window, I pulled the key from between my breasts and opened the closet, I placed the box in the closet before locking the closet again. I hid the key in my dress again before turning to look at a proud and satisfied Halil.
"What did you do?!" I asked shocked. Mihrimah looked down at her hands guiltily while Osman and Mehmed glared at her. Abdullah was so mad at her that he decided to go back to his room and then be in the same as her.
"She is going to ruin this for us! She went to his majesty and angered him by refusing to go to the hunting lodge with us as long as Firuze is going" Osman glared at Mihrimah. Mihrimah rolled her eyes annoyed and turned to look out of the window while crossing her arms.
"Go, go apologize" I hissed nudging Mihrimah to stand up. She slid away from me stubbornly. Before the boys could say anything the doors opened and Hundi walked in with a grin.
"What is it, Hundi?" I asked annoyed. I feared that Suleiman will think that I was the one who sent Mihrimah to change his mind about taking Firuze with him.
"His majesty decided to leave Firuze here and will take only the Sehzades with him" Hundi responded excitedly. My eyes widened in shock but a feeling filled me up, happiness, Suleiman loved his daughters more than anything but usually, I would not use that against anyone.
"He never refuses my requests" Mihrimah mumbled. I turned to look at her with a deadpan look on my face. Mihrimah shrugged with a smirk on her face, sly just like her mother.
"Spoiled girl" Osman rolled his eyes at her getting up and leaving the room. Mehmed rolled his eyes and left the room behind Osman. I chuckled shaking my head at the boys.
"Do not ever do such a thing without asking me" I turned to look at Mihrimah and pointed my finger at her. Mihrimah sighed but nodded agreeing to my request.
"Take care of yourselves" I muttered fixing Osman's Kaftan. He smiled and removed my hands from his Kaftan before kissing both of my knuckles. I placed my hands on his cheeks and pulled his head down and placed a kiss on Osman's forehead.
"You too Mehmed, you are in charge of your younger brothers" I pointed at Mehmed. Mehmed chuckled and nodded his head.
"Abdullah, I warn you, if you cause trouble I will make Bali Bey stop teaching you sword fighting" I teased Abdullah. Abdullah laughed and nodded his head. He kissed my knuckles before the three boys left the room. I don't know I had a very bad feeling about this trip. I took a deep breath placing a hand over my beating heart, it was in pain for some reason.
