Ibrahim was beyond angered after hearing and reading both letters.

This was dangerous and Rustem was going to become a big problem he thought as he paced his new chambers. He would be visiting his majesty in a few days and would need to inform him of something to conter what Rustem would say about Mustafa

The old bastard had a lot to say about the older prince as if he was living with him. He would need to be gone.

He re -  read the letter mihrimah sultana wrote. It was short but quick to the point

Dear brother

I have deep regret in not having a relationship with you, I feel as if it was honestly my fault for my horrible thinking. We are the same blood after all and I wish for us to be close as you are with Gevherhan.

I'd like to visit you someday and have already asked baba if it's possible. He said I could if I wished it. My family and I will be coming within a weeks time. We cannot wait to see you

Your sister
Mihrimah sultana

He showed the letter to his wife who was enraged, it was no secret that on the orders of her mother she had been watching whenever Mustafa's meals were prepared as well as seeing who entered his private chambers.

Ibrahim had the guard doubled outside his chambers and made sure to have three following after him at all times. He also instructed the kalfas to inform him or raziya immediately if anyone arrived. No one was to enter the palace unless he knew.


" Ibrahim" raziya called out as she entered the room. She was wearing all red, her hair in a braid resting on her shoulder.

" Yes my sultana" he said making his way to her

" What are we going to to about Selim,     
Ayse said she would handle Bayezid. We need to get ride of him before he and his mother get ride of us"

Ibrahim thought for a few minutes before pulling his wife close, she looked amused but still waited for an answer

" Sultana,  how about we visit the capital"

She looked confused, a small pout on her face

"Why? We already have sumbal to keep us updated and valide maneged to gain Nigar hatuns trust".

Ah nigar hatun, after Rustem divorced her she had gone to mahidevran sultana for help. The Sultana had offered her a job and paide for someone to look after her children while she worked as a kalfa once more in the harem.

" I know but we have things to discuss with the sultan " was all he said
