The maids in the palace were doing their shores when the harem Doors swung opened revealing bunch of girls while the maids guded them to make a line , Valentina glanced around when her grey eyes met a brunette who was standing by the balcony , the woman looked as an empress , while another woman was standing besides her who was saying something to the older woman .

" Listen very well , all of you belong to his highness , the emperor Sultan Suleiman Khan , who ever is going to disobey the ordres will be thrown outside the Castle " says Nigar Kalfa as she looks into the girls faces , she gazes down Valentina who had glint in her eyes , she remembers that glint , Hureem also had it when she first came into the palace for the first time .

" Now you'll follow me .. " talks Nigar s she swiftly starts walking while the new concubines following her , Velentina sighed as she murmurs :"Я ненавіджу гэта, Бог пракляне тых тахтаў і ператворыць іх жыццё ў пекла " (I hate this , god curse those ottomans and make their life living hell )

" Valide Sultan ," says Sumbul as he stands from bowing facing the sultana,:" today we had gifts for his majesty " .

" I know but make sure to make them know the rules Sumbul , also there was a raven female with them "  says Valide sultan trying to figure who was looking into her eyes without bowing , a fiery woman , she seemed untamed .

Furrowing his thick black brows Sumbul replies :" the one with cloak" , Ayse's eyes brightened he knew her :" make her know the rules of the Harem , teach her what you had been teaching Hurrem before ...I want her as my maid " , mentioning the fact that he had been teaching Hurrem , Sumbul Agha gulped slightly before answering :" Yes your majesty " .

The fog emerged inside the Hamam , the girls were wearing towels , whie bathing , talking with each other , in a corner Valentina bathing silently , all what she remembers the death of her family , she was feeling exhausted then she bursts into tears , holding a hand on her mouth not trying to get attention from the girls , pouring the arm water , maybe it'll clear her mind , the tears were pouring along with the water , she felt presence beside her , she was the woman who was ordering them in the hall .

Kneeling infront of her , Nigar wiped the tears: "Хопіць плакаць, гэта не добра для здароўя"

(Stop crying it's not good for your health) , The raven haired gaped , the woman kows her language ," Вы ведаеце .. шмат жанчын, якія прыйшлі сюды ў якасці падарункаў для султанаў, але сталі моцнымі султанамі "( you know .. a lot of women that came here as Gifts for Sultans , but became strong Sultanas )  continues Nigar .

"Я бачу агонь рашучасці ў тваіх вачах, калі ты будзеш прытрымлівацца правілаў, цябе будзе паважаць Валідэ Султан, Калі ты пойдзеш у Халвет з султанам, народзіш яго дзіця і атрымаеш яго сэрца ... табе будзе належаць усё тут падумайце, моцныя, якія могуць жыць толькі тут "(i see the fire of determination in your eyes , if you follow the rules , you'll be respected by the Valide Sultan , If you go Halvet with the sultan , bear his child and get his heart ...you'll own everything here put it in your mind , the strongers who can only live here) says Nigar wiping her face.

Valentina blinks seeing the woman smirking .

It had been three days since the day she was brought into the ottoman's palace , It was morning , the concubines were organising and cleaning around , getting ready for breakfast ;Nigar looked around when her eyes fell on Valentina who was holding the cloth  cleaning , the girls seemed calm and collected , she smiles :" Valentina , come I have urgent work for you " .

Strodding forward , valentina walked along Nigar to the upper chamber where the private chambers of valide is .

Knocking the door , the Cariye opened the door , as Valentina bowed her head slightly , in the morning they musn't look in the emperial faily's eyes it would be considered disrespect and rude move .

Bowing , Valentina was still looking into the floor :" raise you head hatun " the female says as  the raven haired female's grey eyes meet the Valide Sultan brown eyes .

" What's your name ?" asks the Sultana , as she looked interested , " Valentina , sultanim " replies Valentina looking into the Valide Sultana's eyes .

" I had been recieving news about you hatun .....I had been hearing that you had been doing great these past days , I want someone like ou under my service  , from now on you're my maid Valentina " says Valide Sultan .

Quickly Valentina took steps forward kneeling down kissing the robe of the empress , " It's honor for me serving your highness , thank you"

" Nigar kalfa make her change into one of the dresses I sent " orders Valide sultan as she looked to Mahidevran who smirked .

Valentina was in the garden holding a basket in her hand , she was trying to pick roses for valide , she was cutting the red tulips as she exhales :" I missed being home .. seeing you here trapped in their garden makes you a prisoner like me " she speaks as she looks at the rose in her hand .

Valentina never knew it was a sign from god that her life will change 180° after being trapped withing the castle walls , a lot of things will change .
