-Two days later-

|Nurgül's POV|

When we learned about Eylem's suicide, the harem turned upside down and the girls couldn't stop gossiping, especially since everyone knew that she was the one who poisoned Hürrem Sultan.

Everyone says that Mehmet's rule was cursed, just rumors and strange beliefs... All I really care about is Mehmet and his mental health, I know that he won't be able to handle all these successive misfortunes... Eylem was going to die one way or another, she committed a very bad crime, but in the end Mehmet now has to deal with losing his mother and also Selim the little baby losing his mother too.

I made sure that Ibrahim and Bayezid were asleep, then I went to Mehmet's room, I wanted to check on him and spend some time with him tonight.

I entered the room and heard crying coming from the balcony, I approached to find Mehmet sitting there with his son Selim in his arms who was crying.

"He hasn't slept yet?" I said as I approached them.

Mehmet shook his head "No, and the maid said that he refuses the breastfeeding woman"

I ran my fingers over his cheek "You look very tired, you should rest" I extended my hand to him "Give me Selim, I'll take care of him"

He raised his eyes as he placed him in my hands "But you're already very busy with Ibrahim and Bayezid"

I smiled slightly "Don't worry, it will take some time, but in the end he will get used to me"

Mehmet lowered his head looking at the black ring on his finger "It's crazy that we all lost our mothers"

I shook my head, although the only difference was that my mother was innocent, while Hurrem killed her and then Eylem killed Hurrem and herself "Yes, so the three of us should support each other" I was silent for a while when Selim calmed down and started suckling his fingers... Based on my experience with my sons, I can say that he is hungry.

Mehmet stood up, came closer to me and placed a kiss on my cheek "I really don't know how to thank you for everything you do"

I smiled looking into his eyes "You have also done great things for me" I looked at Selim with a smile "As for Selim, I swear to treat him like my own son"

Mehmet nodded "I will try to sleep a little because tomorrow I have an important divan"

I turned to him, happy that he will sleep a little, the last few days have been like hell "Yes, you should sleep... So that Selim doesn't disturb you, I will take him to my room and breastfeed him until he falls asleep"

I returned to my room and I found my sons still asleep, I sat on the couch and started trying to breastfeed Selim, he refused several times and cried a little but in the end he breastfed a little and then fell asleep... Selim looks a lot like Ibrahim, they both look like their father but Bayazid looks like me, he is blond just like me.

The next morning I woke up a little late, I got ready a little excited because today my sisters will visit me and we will spend the day together.

After breakfast, I left my room with the maids carrying Selim, Ibrahim and Bayezid to take a walk in the garden.

"Alice...what's wrong?" I said looking at her as we passed the harem.

"Me?.." She shrugged her shoulders and it was clear that she was trying to hide something "Nothing I'm fine it's just that I didn't sleep well last night"

I shook my head because I didn't want to pressure her, we all have some problems that we don't want to share with anyone and sometimes keeping them is much better.
