"kraliçe sultana, haci agha told me outside that his majesty is waiting for you and also bring hanzade sultana and sehzade bayezid with you" brielle said in a teasing tone. "masyaallah sultana, his majesty is truly attached to you" solar said with excitement making kraliçe smile.

Kraliçe stood up with bayezid in her arm and hanzade holding her free hand, "brielle please help me bring the cradle" she smiled at brielle. "of course sultana" brielle dipped her head with a smile

after they reached murad's chambers, brielle placed down the cradle and dip her head before leaving. Hanzade ran up to her father and hug him tightly meanwhile kraliçe is rocking bayezid who is sleeping peacefully.

Murad walked up to kraliçe to hold bayezid in his arms, "he's going to be a strong prince" he whispered with a small smile. "amen" kraliçe smiled, "of course! my brother needs to be strong!" hanzade said making murad smile and kraliçe giggle. Murad placed bayezid back to his cradle to sleep peacefully, Murad, Hanzade and Kraliçe sat on the couch near the fireplace. Hanzade was cuddling in kraliçe's arms

"our sultana must be tired, she had been running around" kraliçe smiled down at hanzade who's eyes were blinking holding herself to not sleep. Murad plays with hanzade's hair as she slowly falls to sleep, The two always put their kids to bed before they have a chat..right after hanzade falls a sleep, kraliçe placed her in the middle of the bed and went back to Murad's embrace

"Murad.." kraliçe mutters in his shoulders before she leaned on his shoulder, "is something wrong?" he asks in a calm tone. "well..have you heard that ayse sultan slapped me earlier right after i left your chambers?" kraliçe sighs, "what?" he asks in disbelief.
"i promise you I wasn't lying..she wanted to visit you but i kindly said that you are busy with state matters and she could come by some other time..all of a sudden she slapped me" kraliçe looked down pretending to be sad.

"she also called me a slave even though i gave birth to our son already" she sighs sadly. Murad listens to kraliçe quietly and he calmly placed down his hand on kraliçe which scares her. "Silahtar" murad called, silahtar immediately came in. "Yes, your majesty?" he asks, "bring in ayse sultan" he said lightly. Silahtar dipped his head and left the room, kraliçe looked at murad in panic. "don't do anything to her, murad" kraliçe advised with panic in her eyes but murad raised his hand. "let me deal with it" he said in a terrifying tone that it scared kraliçe.

Moments later, ayse came in with a glorious purple dress. Did she really thought she was going to sleep with him? ayse looked up in confusion since there was kraliçe. "hünkarim- what's the matter?" she asks in confusion while glaring at kraliçe, "first of all..who are you dressing up for? im not sleeping with you" murad said calmly..ayse looked down in embarassment and just nod her head. "second of all, for what reason you slap kraliçe?" he asks, his tone was terrifying that it made both kraliçe and ayse terrified.

"hünkarim- that was all a misunderstanding-" she was cutted off by murad raising his hand..a gesture for her to stop speaking. "you called her a slave, Ayse. Remember, she is not a slave anymore..she gave birth to my prince not long ago and you are talking to my chief favourite ayse, know your place" he scoffs at his last word. "hünkarim- i- i deeply apologize!" she pleaded as her tears ran down her porcelain doll cheek. "if i hear you treating my favourite bad again, i'll banish you" he raised his finger at her making her shot out more tears

"now retreat to your chambers, in the meantime- i do not want to speak with you, hear your voice or see you again" he glares at her coldly with his calm tone. Kraliçe was shook at his cruel words, she never wanted it to go this far even though she hates ayse. Ayse was about to speak again but murad gave her a death stare, she just dipped her head and left the room.

Murad turned to kraliçe who was having a nervous look. "are you afraid of me?" he asks softly as he held her cheek, "kind of.." she whispers. "don't be" he said

And that night, they slept together peacefully

3 DAYS LATER

All of the girls gathered in kösem's chambers and made a line because murad is leaving. The war for kraliçe will start, all of the girls will surely come at her.

"DESTURRR, SULTAN MURAD KHANN" the agha shouted as he opened the door for the sultan. Everyone bowed immediately, with a pleased look he started to walk up to every one of the girls to get their blessings. Gevherhan was first then Atike, Kösem, Farya, Ayse and then kraliçe was last. She was holding bayezid by her arms and hanzade was beside her, he gave a small smile at the sight.

"my kraliçe" he said lovingly that it rages Ayse & Farya, he kissed kraliçe's lips and forehead. Farya looked at the scene in disbelief because she didn't even get any kiss?!! Kösem just gave an evil satisfied smile. Murad then looked at the small baby Bayezid, "my lion..may Allah make you a strong & brave prince so that you can protect your mother and sister" he whispers and kissed the baby's small cheek

"amen murad, amen" kraliçe smiled, he turned to the side and see hanzade. He crouches down to her height, "My hanzade- May Allah make you a strong, healthy and beautiful sultana. You must be strong until im back" murad smiled and kissed hanzade's cheeks and forhead. "of course father! i will miss you" she giggled at the end of her word making murad chuckle and pat her head.

"With this i will be heading to war now, valide...i will leave you in charge of the harem and my children oh- and also my kraliçe. If something is wrong with her or my children..i will hold you accountable" he warned kösem and she just nod her head with a smile. "of course my lion, i will keep an eye of everything" she reassured, he nodded before leaving. "May Allah protect you from the evil eye, Kraliçe. No one is here to protect you anymore" atike smirks

"Atike." gevherhan gave an annoyed look. "What atike sultan said was true, becareful Kraliçe. Protect your children too" farya glared at kraliçe, ayse gave a satisfied smirk. Kösem gave an annoyed sigh, "girls enough!! the sultan has just left and you are making trouble already, stop being embarassing" kösem rolled her eyes. They just nodded with a slight smirk before everyone left kösem's chambers

'i will do anything in my power to protect my loved ones' kraliçe thought in her head repeatedly
