Heading to the harem I heard Bulbul aga speaking so cheerfully to the girls about what happened just last night.
When he saw me...
- Kösem Hatun!
Yes.
I called myself "Kösem" last night... Hell knows why, but I personally like the sound of this more than "Mahpeyker"....
- Our hero! Our guardian angel! You may live long with us! Kö-sem! Kö-sem!
Suddenly with him everyone else decided to say my new name repeatedly.
God, this isn't nothing serious they should be doing this for.
- All of you would have done the same if you were there - I said - Our Sultan is sick and people standing up against him is not right. Our job is to serve him in any way we can... That night that was my way to do that...
----- TIME SKIP -----
Luckily after this speech I could finally get to Bulbul aga with my request...
- To the witch? Why? - he asked.
- Don't bother with that for now! I just need your help to get me outside, please! It's for the Sultan's sake!
He sighed then gave in and helped me to get outside and find the witch that I met earlier today.
- Ah, here you are! Finally! - said the witch - You came for my help, didn't you?
- Yes... - I muttered.
- And what do you need my help in exactly?
- You know exactly why are we here!! - shouted Bulbul.
- Shut up! - I hissed at him then turned back to the witch - I came for your help... To make medicine for Sultan Herman...
She smiled.
It was a little creepy.
- I will help you - she said - But first...
She got out a knife.
- Give me your hand.
I hesitantly, but did it and once when I did she cut my hand.
Not too much, but enough to get 5 drops of my blood into a bowl then she gave me a tissue.
- The rest is my business now. Give me some minutes - she said as she began to get some other things and mixing them in the same bowl she got my blood in.
Both me and Bulbul were dead silent while we werw watching her working.
Some minutes later...
- The love. This love is strong - she said then gave me a bottle with the mix she made - This is gonna help him - she smiled.
- Thank you so much - I said happily.
- Good luck... Kösem Sultan... - she smirked one more time before she headed into her dark room and we also left to go back to the palace.
