Rose was just a normal girl living her life with her loving family as any normal person would, that is until the barbarians attack her village and kidnap her and sold her to the Othman's.
Sultan Ahmed has just been ascended to the Othman throne jus...
"Is everything ready?" I asked Cennet as one of the girls helped me get ready for the special event that we were having today. We've been celebrating for the best week leading to this day, the most important one of them all. Today was Osman and Mehmed's purifying day, they were as Ahmed put it 'becoming men'.
I walked out of the room and down to the harem to sit with the girls for a while before I go back to the boys. I walked in causing the music to stop and everyone to bow to me as I walked in and sat down on the throne placed there.
"Congratulations, sultana"
"May you see them as men"
"May Allah protect our princes"
"Thank you, girls, may we all see them all grown up," I said smiling at the girls.

I felt very proud of my boys since they were born they've been doing only good things, they made me a mother for the first time, they gave me power and now they're becoming their own person in a way. My boys are all grown up.
A maid walked over to me and bowed in front of me seeming weird a little but I let it slide for now.
I walked into my room where my heroes laid on my bed ready to become men. Ahmed walked in right after me to stay with them.
"Good luck my lovelies" I kissed both of their forehead encouragingly before leaving with the rest of the kids and waited outside for the doctor to finish. The same weird made walked over to me and bowed again.
"Sultana I have important news to share with you," she said intriguing my interest.
"Say it," I said acting like I don't care which I didn't at the moment. All I cared about right now was my boys.
"I can't sultana, its too private" she muttered. I rolled my eyes annoyed but pulled her to a nearby corridor where no one else was standing.
"Your reign is ending soon," she said glaring at me before pulling out a knife. I gasped in shock and took a step back afraid of what she'll do next.
"You'll lose the sultan's love," she said harshly pulling the knife to her throat cutting it open, she chocked on her blood letting out weird noises before falling down into the floor dead as blood flooded from her neck. I looked down at her in shock and fear. What did she mean? I felt breathless and nauseous at the sight of blood.

I looked up to see another maid standing there with what seemed like a smirk before it changed to horrified, this faced seemed very fake if I'm being honest. She let out an ear-piercing scream bringing me to my senses. There as a dead girl in front of me. I backed away leaning onto the wall feeling my insides twist at the sight of all of the blood.
Ahmed ran over to see what was going on around here. He looked at me in shock. Wait!! He doesn't actually believe I did this, does he?
He walked away after ordering the aghas to clean the mess up and bury the body. I ran after him barely keeping up with him. He walked into his room angrily.
"Ahmed I didn't kill her" I started running in after him.
"I swear I didn't kill her" he turned around to face me his face red with anger.
"I will let Mehmed pasha look into this matter but-" he took a deep breath trying to calm down.
"You will be banished to the castle of tears," he said making tears well up in my eyes.
"No no Ahmed I swear to god I didn't kill her. I don't even know her" I ran over to him feeling my heartbreak as he seemed unfazed.
"Don't separate me from my children" I begged kneeling down in front of him holding his robe desperately. My Beyazid and Ibrahim were too young, they wouldn't survive without me.
"Please Ahmed believe me" I begged crying at his feet.

"Beyazid and Ibrahim are too young to be separated from me. Ahmed, I beg of you don't separate me from my children. Don't separate me from you" I begged. He pulled his robe away from me backing away from me letting me fall on my hands in front of him.
"Aghas" he yelled making them open the door. I looked up at him desperately but nothing, he believed their game whoever they were.
"Get everything ready for Jawhara sultan's departure to the castle of tears soon," he said. I stood up shakily backing out of the room feeling my heartbreak at every step I took.
I walked out to see Karla and Emily waiting for me outside. I couldn't help but fall in between their arms letting my tears flow even more as they held me from falling to the floor.
"Let's get her to her room" they helped me walk to my room where it was back to its original state with the twins back in their rooms resting after their exhausting day. They sat me down on the couch and each took their place on my sides.
"He didn't believe me. He's sending me away" I cried covering my face with my hands as more and more tears left my eyes.
"What's wrong mother?" I looked up shocked. Fatma stood there looking at me worriedly. This was the first time she called me mother, she truly sees me as her mother.
"Nothing my flower" I opened my arms letting her sit on my lap and comfort me. I can't believe Ahmed believed this trick over me. But at the same time I can't blame him, I was the only one with her and who would've believed that she killed herself. May Allah reveal the truth fast so I can stay with my sons. As the rules say the sons stay in the castle with their father and only the girls are allowed with me to the castle of tears.
