Angie's POV:
I was frustrated the whole time while my mother was at Safiye Sultan's palace, but as she got back she seemed completely normal.
- Mother? Welcome back... - I said.
- Thank you - she smiled happily.
I was so confused.
- Mother... What happened there?
- Nothing much. We talked.
- I see...
But looking at Lorenzo I got a different vibe from him.
That there was something more than just talking.
I know she can protect herself if necessary, but I'm still curious about what could have happened there between them.

Unfortunately time passed by too fast and my mother had to head back home.
- Take care of yourself, of the Sultan... And of your children as well as the harem too - she said as she hugged me - Don't forget to be strong... And don't let them make you weak... Ever...
- I won't forget - I smiled - And you take care of yourself too, okay?
- Okay!
Saying a long goodbye to each other they left to go home while I head back inside the palace to calm down for a moment.
I haven't spoken to my mother about what happened between her and Safiye after that day and I don't know if that was a mistake, or not...
I mean... Should I be worried?
It shouldn't have been too serious.
Besides whatever they could have talked about she's protecting us for sure.

So much has been happening and one evening I hear Herman's is spending a night with the same girl she spent some time with during his mission.
And I still don't know who this girl is...
But the following day I saw them outside the garden as I was taking my morning walk.
- Who's the girl? - Maria asked as she was with me as well that morning.
- Probably the girl he's having fun with lately - I replied calmly - But why don't we join them to see what are they doing?
Right after I said that I walked towards them.
I didn't feel like waiting for any answer.
Herman's POV:
Yasemin is really talented in painting so I asked her to do a painting of me outside.
Around 30 minutes into it I saw Angie coming towards us...
- My Lord - she said as she bowed.
- Come here - I smiled as I pulled her down gently to sit down beside me.
- What are you two doing? - she asked.
- Yasemin is making a painting of me - I replied.
- Oh really? Can I see it?
I looked over to Yasemin, who came closer right away and gave us her book, where she was doing her drawing first.
As we looked at it at some point I looked over to Angie...
- What do you think? Do you like it?
- Hmm... No.
