Hours of waiting desperately Osman finally came back from the old palace and everything seemed fine, but I wanted to know what they were talking about behind me back.
So I went to see him in the evening...
- Osman...
- Validem! - he jumped up from his seat, where he was reading and bowed his head - What made you come to visit me this late?
It was indeed late.
Pretty much in the middle of the night at this point.
- I haven't seen you all day - I replied - Where have you been, Osman?
- Erm... I visited Safiye Sultan - he replied awkwardly, knowing I'm gonna be upset about this.
- I heard. What have you been doing there with her? Didn't I tell you that she's dangerous?
- Yes, you did... But...
- She killed your mother too!
- I know! But... I believe she has changed.
- Changed... And what did she tell you about me?
His eyes widened.
You know... He was already 17 years old, but like this he still looked like when he was around 6.
It's adorable.
- How did you...
- I just know her well enough.
- She said things, but...
- I hope you didn't believe her - I smiled at him.
- Of course not, Validem!
- That's good...
Although I'm not calm yet with this.
I know he's a smart boy and I'm not worried about him.
----- TIME SKIP -----
The next day I decided to head off to Safiye Sultan's palace.
I wasn't going to let this witch ruin my family.
Never.
- Kösem Sultan! - Bulbul gasped when I was right at the door.
- No need for your help - I said right away - I know where to find her.
And with that I quickly walked past him, with Daniel following close behind.
He wanted to come with me to make sure I won't kill Safiye with my own hands just yet.
As I headed more and more inside the palace I found the room Safiye has been in...
And she seemed like she has been waiting for me as well...
- Kösem - she smiled - What a lovely surprise!
- I'll tell you once and for all... - I began - Stay away from my family... My sehzades... My daughters... And Herman...
She smiled even more now.
- Threatening again?
- Again because you can't stop with making trouble for me!
- Trouble? I don't know who got my daughter killed...
- That was a long time ago and...
- And?! And what?!
She took a deep breath.
- Kösem... Or shall I call you Angeles?
I didn't respond.
- Let me ask you something...
She paused.
- If anything would happen to your dear Herman... If the time would come when you have to choose... Would you be on Osman's side?
