I got Katerina to disappear with the help of Mehmed while I went to see Herman which he wasn't against once again.
Atleast I can play this off easier than the Safiye matter so far...
Anyway...
Some days later it came out that Fahriye Sultan and Dervish Pasha are gonna get married.
This was so far the second most shocking thing I've ever heard in the palace.
To the evening of the wedding I also got a good idea so before it was the evening I went to visit Handan Sultan to ask for her help.
I also told her about the short information I got so far to try to make her trust me again.
Which worked.
In the evening she came to the palace for the wedding and we both went in like it'd be normal which left Safiye Sultan a little surprised.
But we joined in for a while, to see Fahriye's disgusted face by all this celebrating which she never wanted.
She never watched to marry Dervish and he didn't want to marry her either.
It was all an order.
But that's another story that I don't really care about right now.
Meanwhile this party wad happening I continued teasing Cennett, but it's hardly working by now as she knows I want to trick her.
- I'm not going in there! - she said when I wanted to lead her to a room to talk again - I'm not gonna get fooled anymore!!
- Too bad - I responded - I'm not gonna leave you be until you speak up.
She didn't.
Once again she kept silent.
----- TIME SKIP -----
A few days later Safiye herself had a little... How should I say this... "Party"... For her newly born great-grandson, causing everyone to watch her at that very morning.
It made me feel disgused to see how happy she was and you have no idea how much I've wanted to ruin her happiness right now.
But I didn't have anything in my hand.
Anything that I could do.
No information whatsoever.
Atleast until Cennett came up beside me....
- What do you want? - I said, not even looking at her.
- Give this to you - she replied and as I looked towards her she handed over a ring - Your father wanted to give this to you...
I sighed painfully as I took it.
I recognized the ring.
It was indeed from him.
- Father...
- I'm tired of her keep stepping on me - Cennett continued talking - No respect... Nothing...
What is she trying to say now?
- I'm tired of keeping secrets for her sake...
- Hmm...
She leaned closer to my ear and whispered:
- Her secret... What she keeps back for years now... Is the fact that the person, who's responsible for poisoning Sultan Herman and Sehzade Mustafa is Fahriye Sultan...
