I had strutted out of the Sultan's rooms after 2 whole days, spending all the time I could with the Sultan. He was a handsome, and smart man, as well as an amazing ruler. The thing is, I had to leave because of his Council convening. At the time I was disappointed, but later I realized that that very Council is where I needed to exercise my power. - Behic Sultan

I came to the harem in early morning, all smiles. Everyone was hard at work, but when they saw me, Diana dropped her needlework and exclaimed,

"Valencia is back from the Sultan's room!"

Everyone immediately ran over and formed a circle around me as I described my wonderful time with him. Most of the girls thought it was wonderful, but one girl especially stood out, as she was still sitting away from the rest of us, glaring at me. I looked her in the eye and smiled as she scowled. I didn't really understand why she was mad, but I also didn't care.

An agha informed me I was now a favorite of the Sultan, so I would get my own room and maybe some gifts from him too. I loved Sultan Osman.

I went upstairs to the balcony of the favorites.

"Now see me, fear me everyone!" I thought to myself as I observed everyone from the balcony.
