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...
"Are you happy here?" I questioned. Elizabeth smiled warmly and nodded her head. I had decided that my sisters shall reside in one of my many mansions with hundreds of guards under their disposal in case Sahihuban Sultan tried kidnapping them again.
"Yes, sister, we have been very comfortable however we are saddened that you are leaving so soon" Mary responded. I turned my attention to my sisters, I should probably forget their birth names. They have all chosen Turkish names to go by however they wanted to keep their religion, hence why I was thinking of building a small chapel near the estate for them, I'd have to find a priest too.
"I have to be by my son's side. I lost Abdullah, I can't lose Osman too" I looked down at my hands feeling tears pick at my eyes. Arms wrapped around me in comfort, they were Alice's arms.
"We understand. We will be here, waiting for you no matter how long it takes" Elizabeth said. She reached over and grabbed my hands comfortingly. I felt blessed to have such angels for sisters.
"Send me a letter the second you arrive in Bolu" Suleiman decided to bid me farewell himself. Mehmed had already gone on his way to Manisa. After receiving the disturbing letter Suleiman decided that Mehmed should go to Manisa while Mustafa will be going to Amasya however Mustafa will be in the capital for now since there was no one to rule until he returns from the campaign.
"Of course, you too send me letters or my heart would stop with fear" I begged. Suleiman smiled. He took my hand and placed a kiss on my knuckles. It made my heart flutter seeing as he did so in public.
"I will miss you"
"I will miss you too"
With that said I got into the carriage with Nuriye, Korkut, and Seyfettin since they were too young to be left alone in the capital. Bidar was with us in the carriage and the rest of the maids were in the other carriage however Rosie was not with us, I decided to send her to the old palace until she gets married. I felt my heart drop the further away we got from the capital and I tried to compose myself as much as possible.

Suddenly the carriage stopped, it was too early for us to set camp for the night too late for us to turn back in case something had happened. I looked at Bidar who was holding a sleeping Seyfettin to her chest and she seemed just as confused.
"Validam!" Osman's voice rang in my ears. I jumped off the seat and moved towards the door pushing it open and that is when all hell broke loose. Men wearing back from head to toe attacked our party.
"Mommy!" Nuriye screamed in fear. One of the men advanced towards our carriage. I did not have time to reach for my dagger before he grabbed me and pulled me down the rest of the way.
"I've got the English whore, take the prince" he yelled at someone. I screamed wiggling trying to get out of his hold.
"Let me go you rat! Do not dare touch my son!" I yelled trying to hit him. He smirked in my face before bringing the but of his dagger down against my face making my world turn black.
