I fell in love with my Sultana- English Version-COMPLET

18. Special Chapter

Murad's Perspective

The night of my wedding coincided with my sister's wedding ceremony, a day of celebration in which I found myself with a woman who, unlike the others, carried on her shoulders the weight of freedom and responsibility as a future queen.

As I lifted her veil, I contemplated the beauty that was revealed before my eyes, but I soon realized that behind that appearance was hidden a burning fire, a power of seduction that enveloped me without remedy.

After that night, every morning I would find her, radiant in her robe, combing her golden hair, greeting me with words of love and concern. But as the days passed, I felt weaker and weaker, as if her presence was draining my life force.

It was then that I decided to confide in my sister Ayşe, sharing with her my suspicions of poisoning. Together we hatched a plan to protect myself, tasting every morsel of food before I tasted it, thus preventing the poison from touching my lips.

But as I struggled to keep myself safe, I also became aware of my wife's ulterior motives. Her frequent meetings with her father, her attempts to keep me busy and away from kingdom affairs, all pointed to a hidden agenda I couldn't ignore.

As we continued our investigation, the empire became increasingly tense and distrustful. Mutinies in the army, crises in the royal treasury and financial secrets revealed, all of which indicated that something sinister was brewing in the shadows of power.

Meanwhile, my father struggled to maintain balance amidst the chaos, but his hands seemed to be tied by invisible forces beyond his control. In the midst of the storm, I found myself, caught between loyalty to my family and the need to protect the kingdom from a danger that threatened to destroy it from within.

My sister, despite all this, was very radiant. The situation hurt her, but apparently love had knocked on her door because it was obvious that she was in love. I realized this when she came to the Palace.

-Dear sister! -I got up from my seat

-Your Highness -he made a small bow with a smile on his face and his maid Malhum, how good that these two are getting along- How are you brother?

-Very well Sultana, today you look different... let's see what you did- My sister used to dress in very dull colors, I'm surprised that now she changes the colors of her dresses.

- Yes, I decided to change a little, however there is something we need to talk about- reflecting a lot of concern on his face-

I couldn't ignore Malhum's beauty, she was radiant but I indicated with my hand for her to leave.

My sister made sure I left the room completely and took a seat at my desk.

-Brother, the empire is in chaos, the army is divided into sectors, the royal coffers have very little money, my father, despite being the Sultan, has his hands tied, but I have found something that can help us- showing enthusiasm in those last words.

-Ayse, you know that I'm listening to you, talk- I also sat down.

-I have gradually gained my husband's trust, and I have realized that he is not directly involved in his father's affairs. We need him to talk about what he knows, but you have to promise me that you will not be upset by what I am going to tell you.

-Tell me what to do, I'm not going to get upset. -My sister's words made me very curious.

-My husband is a good man, he is a devout Muslim, he treats people fairly, and he is a very intelligent man, I have gained a lot of appreciation for him, it pains me to do this but I have information about him that we can use to extract information from him.

I stared at him for him to continue.

-My husband is having an affair with another man- What? What do you mean, with another man, that's depravity?

-That's a very serious accusation, how could a man like another man? Are you sure?

-I tell you yes, but listen to me, don't get upset or do anything impulsive- my sister told me because I started to walk back and forth angrily. How is it possible that my sister shares a bed with a pervert?

-I'm sorry, I didn't know what you were going through - I give him a hug.

-Brother, I need you to keep that secret even from our own father. My idea is that you go to the place where he is with his lover and blackmail him. That way, and only that way, we will have him between a rock and a hard place, because he won't be able to ask his father or anyone else for help. And if he wants to live and not be accused before the judge, he will do what you tell him, but all this without him knowing that I know that information. He has to think that I am a naive wife.

I agreed to the plan after arguing with my sister and so I did. I went to the medical school pretending to be a real visit to the institution, asked to go to the bathroom and on the way I opened a door at the moment indicated by one of my sister's undercover spies, and there they were, two men kissing and groping each other. I wish I could tear my eyes out.
