The soft light filtered through the curtains casting a warm glow inside the room , i blinked my eyes my world coming back to focus as the events of last night lingered in my mind .
I looked around and saw Mustafa sleeping peacefully on his side , his hand was on my hair . I shifted slowly , careful not to wake him up and disturb his sleeping.
I stared at him and couldn't help but touch his face , he was very tired and it was obvious from his face . He was burdened with responsibility at such young age and he had a lot of enemies , and on top of everything he didn't have a good relationship with his father who abondoned him .
He opened his eyes to my surprise and saw me staring at him, it felt wrong to be this close to him but i realised that we were now married .
«Is there a better morning than this ? » he said putting his hand on my cheek , i titled my head and smiled « I don't think there is » .
« I forgot » he sighed in annoyance as he covered his face using his hands « We are supposed to have a divan , it's friday » he said hurrying to get up .
« Already ? » i said disappointed as he put on his robe and went through his clothes trying to find what to wear « I have to , crown prince duties » he winked at me as he chose a blue caftan .
« Well .. » i said while putting my robe on « it's a shame you're leaving now , can't this wait ? » i said approaching him as he fixed his caftan infront of the mirror.
« State matters can't wait my dear » he turned around and put a strand of my hair behind my ear .
« This is what i want you to always do , try to be close to your father more than the others . Gain more favour and keep your father in your side » He nodded agreeing on what i said .
« You know my father , he is a difficult person to please and to deal with . I am trying to neutralise our relationship now after what happened » he sighed irritated from the past events . I put my hand on his chin and looked at him .
« You're the crown prince mustafa , your future depends on your father . You have to fix it no matter what it takes , it will take time but we shouldn't leave to amasya before you make up for this » his fault was big in his father's eyes and the damage was long done but i knew it would take long for his father to forgive him .
« You're absolutely right .. after he put selim in Manisa i felt like my position was endangered , but i can't lose what i have been building for years »i nodded at his affirmation words , he had the spirit and the will to do better and it is what i liked about him .
I reached for his hat and placed it on his head « You should leave , don't be late and good luck my prince » i said as i fixed his hat .
He kissed me before heading out , i was left alone in the room and i decided to leave and head to my own room .
« Sultana » Fahriye said when she saw me step inside , i wasn't used to this new title so it felt weird to hear it from them .
