I don't know how, but I ended up in my room.

For some seconds I had no idea what happened to me, but then I remembered and jumped up from my bed...

- Father!!

- Kösem... - I hear Azura's painful voice - He's dead...

And with that I finally realized what was going on.

Safiye killed my father.

I did what she told me to do and she killed him anyway...

For fun.

- Safiye...

That was all I hissed before I stormed out of my room, not even explaining anything to poor Azura, or Gölge, who was also in my room at the time.

I headed right for Safiye.

I totally lost my mind in anger and grief.

On the corridor I also grabbed a torch and just kicked her door in.

I didn't care anymore.

I wanted to kill her so badly.

But then again... I wasn't thinking clearly at the very moment.

- Safiye!!! - I shouted, causing everyone to jump up, including Safiye herself too.

- You murdered! - I hissed while I was swinging the torch around me, to make sure no servants can grab me, or anything - You killed him! I did what you wanted, but you killed him! Why?!

- That's what you get for standing up against me, Kösem - she replied calmly.

Her face might have been calm, but her eyes said she was terrified of what I'm going to do once when she finishes talking.

- I'm gonna kill you!!

But then...

- Enough, Angeles! You won't kill her!

This voice...

I know this voice.

I turned around to see Rose, a woman from the same village I came from.

She has been like a second mother to me.

- Rose...

- Give me the torch - she said as she reached out for it, but I quickly pulled it away.

- Are you serving her? - I muttered, feeling betrayed by the only person I expected the less to be betrayed by - Are you serving a murderer?!

- I'm working for her yes... But she isn't...

- Don't tell me she isn't!! She killed my father!!! - I shouted at her.

Right now my anger was bigger than anything before.

She was speaking to me after that, but I just couldn't pay attention.

I felt so lost.

So alone.

And betrayed.

I realized I'm unable to kill Safiye because if I do Herman will be mad...

But...

- You took the most important person away from me - I said after throwing the torch away and walked closer to Safiye - But I promise... You soon will know... How does it really feel... To lose someone precious to you...

She looked at me in silent.

- I'll finish you off.

This made her stand up.

- You will die in misery.

My anger.

My determination to make her life miserable.

Everything added together in this moment, in front of her and all the servants of hers.

- Fear me now.
