On our way more and more into the palace, towards Mahfiruze's room we also bumped into Cennett, who hasn't been around before.
- Cennett!! - I gasped - Are you okay too??
- Yes! - she panted - But I just saw Sehzade Mustafa being pulled away by Bulbul and some other guards - she added.
- He will be fine! - Handan groaned - Safiye won't hurt him anyway!
I had to agree on that.
We had a much more important mission to take care about first.
----- TIME SKIP -----
Luckily we broke in to her room just in time as some man was already there, with a knife so Zülfikar immediately went in and stabbed the guy then pushed him away.
- Mahfiruze Sultan - he panted.
Then I stepped beside him.
- Mahfiruze! Come on, let's get out of here! - I said to which she finally came out of the closet, where she was hiding with the crying Osman - Are you okay? Are you hurt?
- No... We're fine - she muttered.
She seemed confused about what's happening around her.
And honestly she wasn't the only one.
But we needed to head out towards the secret door so we can get out.
----- TIME SKIP -----
So far so good.
Zülfikar was the only man that was with us and he successfully protected us, but we got attacked right before we could get out.
Most people were already on their way out, but one man got Mahfiruze right before she could get out and he stabbed her in her back so damn deeply.
Like... You're such a gentleman!
For fuck sake...
- Os-man... - she moaned.
Cennett took Osman from her hands before she collapsed dead on the floor.
- Mahfiruze! - I gasped.
Zülfikar also came in, killed the man and was shocked to see what happened.
- We have no time! - he said - Get out too, Sultanim!
- Wait, what about Mustafa??
- I'll go and find him!
- I'm coming with you!
Then I turned to the valide.
- You go and leave now!
- We're not leaving you behind!
- Then just get out and wait at the car! We'll be back quickly!
And with that I ran away with Zülfikar following close behind.
Poor Mustafa shouldn't be left behind, even if he's the grandson of Safiye Sultan.
He's still just a kid.
