Herman's leaving again.

I know this is how things go and that's how I need to live, but I'm never going to get used to this and the fact that I'm always worrying about him when he's away.

He always tells me not to, but I just can't help it.

Anyway...

The night before he's supposed to leave he called both me and our son so we can spend some time together.

Watching him with Mehmed playing around is just pure joy for me.

He's an amazing father.

And an amazing lover too.

- I just don't want you to go... Or else I want to go with you - I said when we were fully alone.

- You know you can't - he smiled while kissing my head - But I can promise you to hurry back as quick as possible.

- Okay... Okay... I know, I'm complaining way too much!

- I didn't say that - he laughed.

- But I do!

- No, you don't!

- Okay, fine!

We both laughed as we spent the rest of the night together in peace.

But unfortunately the next morning he left...

----- TIME SKIP -----

Everything has been quite peaceful, but I was still working on to make Safiye's life a nightmare.

And while doing that I could get Bulbul aga and even Rose to my side now which meant they both are going to tell me whenever Safiye's onto something.

And soon I found out she has been heading to a hidden room, where her husband's treasures were hidden.

But I found out about this from Rose...

- Oh really? - I said as I stood up - Well, we shall visit that secret treasure place then.

- Just be careful - Rose said - Safiye Sultan doesn't let her guard down now.

- That's even better. Atleast she'll see who's the stronger one here right now - I told her firmly as we soon headed out to the village to find this place.

----- TIME SKIP -----

As we got there Zülfikar made sure that the place is clear, lead the agas out that were working for Safiye and were about to take the stuff out then he lead in his own people to get those to the palace.

While this was happening I noticed a painting about Safiye and her daughter... One of them.

I don't know who was it since on the picture it was still a baby girl.

And somehow while looking at the painting a really awful feeling got through me.

- Sultanim... Are you alright?

Zülfikar noticed that something's up.

- We should head back soon - I said.

- Okay, but...

- They can pack alone too, can't they?

- Yes... - he nodded - Alright, I'll get the car ready and we will be on the way.

I just nodded as I simply walked out.

This might doesn't make any sense to you, but do you know when all of a sudden you get a really bad feeling, right?

Something that you can't explain properly, but it's there and it makes you feel really uneasy?

That's what's happening to me right now and this is why I want to get back to the palace now.

But I had no idea how right I was with that until we arrived there....

----- TIME SKIP -----

The car stopped at the front gate.

I couldn't see out as it was dark, but when Zülfikar stepped out and froze I knew there was something wrong...

- Good god... - he mumbled under his breath.

To this I jumped out to see what appears to be a place of a fight, filled with dead bodies everywhere.

It was seriously horrific scene to see.

- The door! - I gasped.

I couldn't care about the dead people now.

The first thing that came to my mind was my son...

- OPEN THE DOOR!! - I shouted.

- AGALAR!!! OPEN THE DOOR NOW!! - shouted Zülfikar too and as much as we were panicking it was clear that no one was there.

The door was sealed shut and we were unable to open it.

The palace is attacked while Herman's away and we're locked out...
