"Thank you for your hospitality sultana" I said bowing to Hurrem who smiled at me proud of herself. I moved to the woman beside her who was Mahidevran.

"Thank you for you kindness sultana, please visit me" I smiled kindly at her before looking at Hurrem who had an almost glare on her face.

"Both of you" I said making her smile.

"You too sultana Mihrimah" I said looking at the sultana who nodded with a smile.

"I'll bring the young princes with me too because I'm sure they'll love to learn more about your country" she said.

"I will happily tell them everything" I smiled at her.

"You're leaving already" the youngest prince said walking closer to me. I crouched down to be on the same level as him, I could feel my heart break every time my eyes saw the burden on his back.

"You can come and visit me anytime my prince" i said putting my hand on his cheek. He grinned throwing his arms around my neck. I stood up holding him in arms carefully to not hurt his fragile body. I looked at Hürrem as I held him to see her looking with sad eyes at her son.

After saying farewell to everyone I walked to the sultan's room where the sultan and the rest of the princes waited with the Sultan's sister's husband Ibrahim pasha waited for me. I haven't had the chance to meet Sultana Hatice yet but I hope to do so soon.

"Your majesty" I addressed as I bowed to the sultan. I walked closer to him as he offered me his hand, I placed a small kiss to the back of it before letting it go and looking up at him.

"Thank you for listening to me" I said.

"Thank you for warning us of the danger" he said patting my shoulder before I moved.

"My prince" I said bowing to Mustafa making eye contact with him not looking away for a second as I bowed, he smile warmly at me nodding before I moved.

"Prince Mehmed" I smiled at the younger prince as I bowed.

"Be ready Thyra I'll be visiting a lot so you can teach me French" he teased making me laugh a little.

"Of course my prince whenever you want." I promised before I moved.

"Princes" I said bowing to both the red head prince and the brunette prince.

"We'll visit too so you can tell us about France and teach us French too" prince Selim said making me chuckle.

"Of course whenever you want" I said looking between the two princes. I could see the jealousy in prince Beyazid's eyes of his brother who got to speak with me.

"Of course that includes you too prince Beyazid" I said trying to calm him down a little.

"Thank you Princess" prince Beyazid said nodding at me.

I walked out of the sultan's wing to see a man wearing fancy clothes, not as fancy as the sultan or the princes but still fancy, he also had a beard I assume he's Ibrahim pasha.

"Pasha" I said bowing to him as he smiled at me and nodded.

"Princess welcome" he said as I rose back up.

"I wish to have you visit my castle some day so you can meet sultana Hatice and our children" he said kindly.

"Thank you pasha, I will be honored" I said bowing to him before leaving.

I walked to the garden where a carriage was waiting to take me to Marma castle. I got in to see madam waiting for me in there.

It took around half an hour to get there, I got out of the carriage to see a smaller castle than Topkapi but it was definitely enough for me and madam.

I walked in to see the staff waiting for me there, it was exactly ten female maids with five Jarem aghas and a cool with three helpers, that was more than enough but the sultan was very generous to give them to me.

I was informed that prince Mustafa made sure one of the maids spoke French to help me learn their language more and if I wanted something but i didn't know the word in Turkish so she can translate and get it for me.

I felt a little sad knowing I'll have to live away from Mustafa but I didn't know why. Please god make whatever I'm thinking wrong. I can't have feelings for a Othman prince, I'm a Christian and a free woman, I can't be with him.

God please help me.
