I was no longer paying attention to what Nurbahar is saying, I am really worried about what will happen.. Did I just reject a Prince's request five minutes ago! Damn, my mission is to stay close to him, not to distance myself from him out of jealousy. I came out of my thoughts after hearing:

"BEHOLD! Şehzade Mehmet hazretleri"

Damn I am afraid that he will put me in an embarrassing situation in front of this girl!

We stood up quickly and when he opened the door I saw Mehmet looking a bit angry, he didn't even look at the girl next to me as if he was here for my sake, for the mistake I made, but I am not what he thinks, I am not Eylem or one of his idiots, he doesn't know that I get whatever I want.

"Hatun" he said as he approached me and put his hands behind his back "I see that you are fine and not busy"

I moved my head without raising my eyes "Yes, thank God, I am fine"

He raised his eyebrow in surprise "Then why didn't you come?"

I raised my head and tried to look as confident as possible "Your Majesty, I don't feel like it"

This time I actually saw the anger in his eyes, he moved closer to me until I could feel his breath "Are you crazy or what!"

I shrugged "Maybe I don't know" I looked at the girl next to me and looked back at him with a fake smile on my lips and I felt that he actually understood what the problem was.

Without realizing it he took my hand and dragged me behind him quickly, I didn't want to be exposed to an embarrassing situation in front of everyone so as we passed through the Harem I tried not to look at anyone even though I felt that everyone's eyes were watching us especially as he held my hand and dragged me, he didn't even give me the chance to think or refuse this! After a short while and because of his quick steps we had already reached his suite.

He let go of my hand and started moving in front of me impatiently "So what's the problem, Nurgül?"

I really don't know what to say to him, I saw a glass of water on the table, I took it and drank from it to calm down a little then I looked at him "I'm upset these days"

He raised his eyebrows and looked very serious "What's bothering you?"

Why is he pretending as if nothing happened!..

I spoke loudly without realizing it "Are you serious! Just a few days ago you were telling me that you would make me yours and we would have a beautiful family, you told me that you wanted me" My eyes started to fill with tears and this was something I didn't want to happen, I hate being in a moment of weakness so I turned to the other side "Okay I don't want to do this, I don't want any problems with you and I know very well my place here and that I have already crossed my boundaries I am not your wife or something to hold you accountable"

He sighed a little then approached me and turned me towards him "Nurgül" He said in a calm voice while wiping my tears "You could have said from the beginning that you felt jealous" I wanted to interrupt him but he continued his words "You shouldn't have refused my invitation to you and all I did was follow the rules I didn't know that it would bother you" He placed a warm kiss on my forehead then looked back into my eyes "I still stand by my words and I want us to have a big and beautiful family and who knows maybe you will be my wife"

I looked into his eyes as I tried to speak calmly "The place where I come from is very different, there a woman doesn't have to share her man with other women while here you have an entire harem and this is something I will never get used to"

He ran his fingers through my hair then smiled as he said "If you were by my side I wouldn't need other women"

Moments like these when Mehmet shows me care and love, I feel very guilty, I don't even deserve a single look from him.
