- You've raised a big family, haven't you? - said Hümasah Sultan as she came up to me while I was with my girls - You definitely should be proud of yourself.
- I'm not proud of myself, but them - I replied to her calmly.
We both paused for a moment then soon a servant girl came up to me with a letter.
- This came for you, Sultanim! - she said as she bowed her head deeply.
- Thank you - I nodded as I took the letter and read it after stepping a bit away from Hümasah.
It came out that the letter came from my mother from back home, telling me that she wants to visit me here soon.
- Oh dear... - I muttered to myself.
- What is it? - Hümasah asked me as I was still close enough for her to hear me.
- Nothing, nothing.
I'm not this stupid to tell her what's happening.
She'll see it soon anyway.

But before my mother could even come here Herman is going out for a mission again for some weeks, or months which worries me a little for many reasons.
Not just the usual thing.
That I'm just being worried and stuff, but the fact that he's sick.
Yes, he has been dealing with terrible pain for weeks now and the doctors have no idea what is causing that, but they made a special medicine that atleast kills this pain when it gets too bad.
But we're pretty much fine.

Once I always have to get some work done left from the harem's business so when that happens I'm sitting at my desk, doing paperwork when Mehmed Aga came in and bowed.
-What is it? - I asked while I still didn't look up from my papers.
- Sehzade Osman went to the old palace to visit Safiye Sultan.
This immediately made me look up in pure shock and anger.
- Are you serious? - I groaned.
- Yes...
- Why did he go there all of a sudden?
- I don't know.
- Hah...
I got so upset.
I was sure that Safiye's somehow going to try to turn him against me.
And I couldn't let that happen...
