Neslihan Sultan was born as daughter of Sultan Mahmud and Hibetullah Sultan. She enjoyed her easy life with her parents and siblings in Topkapi palace, all until her 18th birthday when her father suddenly died. It was a surprise to everyone especial...
"I missed you so much, you have no idea how that little Ottoman princess has humiliated me in front of whole harem," Leyla said as she ran into the hug of her beloved Crimean Khan Mehmed. On purpose she acted to be very sad and very hurt because of those events, not telling she actually disrespected Neslihan which forced her to act like that.
Mehmed took her into a warm hug as he went to meet her in the separate part of the palace where he had his private mansion where no one was allowed to enter, and he used it to spend as much of time with Leyla as he can, because anymore he couldn't do it publicly because with one Neslihan's word the war could start again between the Ottomans and the Crimeans.
"My love don't make yourself sad because of her words, she is here just due to her political duty. You know I will never ever even look at her," Mehmed wiped Leyla's tears as his heart felt sad when his beloved woman acted like this.
"But you will have to kiss her, to sleep with her, you will have to have children with her, everything the two of us were supposed to do," Leyla didn't stop but continued to cry knowing how Mehmed was weak on her. If she would wish for the whole world Mehmed would make sure to give her the whole world, he loved her more than a person could imagine and she loved him the same way, but there was nothing Mehmed could do to stop this marriage that has already happened because it was ordered by the authority much higher than him.

"If I ever do that it will be just once to get a heir because otherwise their Sultan might make me problems if he finds out I really don't want her," Mehmed once again wiped Leyla's tears.
There were no words with which he could comfort her as this moment, because the two of them were two people in love who couldn't be together because of Neslihan. She wasn't just an ordinary woman they could get rid of, but Sultana to who if anything bad happens their heads would go away.
"This marriage is only a temporary solution, I will try to be cool, so that one day she decides to divorce. Then, you and I will be able to get married as we have planned our whole life," Mehmed kissed Lejla's forehead, trying to make her feels better. Although he uttered these words, he knew that the situation was not exactly like that and in the event that Neslihan wanted to separate, the Sultan would probably question him and start the state of war again, and like this when his cousin was in the Crimea, it did not occur to him to go to war with them. But even the other states that were afraid of the Ottomans, now knew that when their Sultanate was in the Crimea, they too must not attack the Crimea because the Sultan would immediately go to war. Mehmed actually profited that way and gained total security for his state, but for that he had to give up his love for his wife.
"If I could, I would have strangled her with my own hands after she humiliated me," Lejla bursts into tears again inconsolably, seeing that Mehmed didn't even get angry after he found out what Neslihan did to her. Lejla expected that he would now attack Neslihan and defend Lejla in front of everyone, but that did not happen.
