Sultan Mahmoud was the most lustful sultan the Othman empire has ever known since it rose from nothing to the strong dynasty it is now. He was a womanizer and the whole dynasty knew that but they didn't care as long as he was leaving for campaigns t...
"Be careful Katerina" I sighed as Daphne warned me as I walked over to the table in the room.
"Daphne I wanted to drink water" I whined but she only shook her head and glared at me. I sighed and let go of the cup and sat back down.
"You should start getting ready, the sultan in expecting you soon," she said getting up and walking over to a box in my room where all of my dresses laid.
"I'm too lazy" I whined sitting back down. She shook her head and started choosing a dress for me. I sat there for a while admiring the ring Mahmoud gave me a while back. The ring was beautiful and I will never take it off, it will be the blossom of our love.
"Come on, get up" Daphne almost ordered and pulled me up to my feet. I changed my clothes into a beautiful red dress that I've never worn before but Daphne insisted I wear it since it was too beautiful to miss before I start showing.
I looked at myself in the mirror admiring how the headpiece on my head fit so perfectly I loved how it looked on my head. The dress was hugging me perfectly which I loved.

I looked up at the door as it opened expecting Diana Kalfa to come in and take me to his majesty but I was shocked to see a beautiful woman who I have never seen before, but I was guessing that this was Warda Sultan Mahmoud's sister.
"Sultanim" I muttered bowing to her as she walked in. She sat down on the couch and pointed for me to sit down beside her.
"I wanted to be the woman that got my brother's attention for now," she said looking me up and down. The way she spoke made me feel angry, for now? What does she mean? Is she saying that to make sure I knew that the sultan will throw me away soon? Well news to you honey I won't be letting him go anytime soon, I actually like him and I may soon start to fall for his handsome face.
Before I could answer Dian Kalfa burst in and started ranting not even noticing the sultana in the room as she went on.
"You better be ready Katerina, his majesty got so mad when Leyla sultan showed up instead of you and he got angry with me-" she stopped mid-sentence when she saw the sultana and bowed to her.
"Ah I see that you are busy, I will see you soon" she smirked and left the room. She was helping Leyla reach the sultan's room but it seems it didn't work out for them after the sultan kicked her out.
"I'm ready" I got up and walked out of the room not caring if they were following me or not.
I smiled when I saw Mahmoud's room and walked straight in and the guards didn't stop me which meant that they got orders not to.

"Mahmoud" I muttered after bowing. He turned around from his table and grinned happily at me. He opened his arms and let me hug him tightly, I've missed him since I haven't seen him in a couple of days.
"I wanted to ask you something," he said pulling me over to his bed and sat me down on it before sitting down himself.
"Anything, Mahmoud," I said smiling brightly at him.
"Will you change your religion for me" his question took me off guard. I knew that the mother of the prince or Sultana must be a Muslim but I wasn't expecting this too soon.
"Of course" I muttered after a minute to compose myself. I took a deep breath and smiled at him as he wrapped a piece of clothing on my head, I think they call it a headscarf or something.
"Repeat after me," he said before he started to say words in Arabic that I could barely understand. They insisted on teaching us Arabic other than Turkish and now I know why usually they make the girls change religion if the sultan didn't ask for them or they didn't get sent to the sultan and then marry them off.
"Am I a Muslim now?" I asked as he pushed the headscarf off my head. He chuckled and kissed my forehead.
"Yes, I will order Darvis to teach you the Quran himself," he said pushing a piece of hair out of my face.
"I met Warda sultan today," I said making him raise his eyebrows before a look crossed his face.
"Let me guess, she stalled you until Leyla came in here thinking I will let her stay and you will be forced to stay in your room," he said putting the pieces together. I nodded my head sadly and looked down.
"Don't be sad. You're here now" he said pulling my head up. I only shook my head a little.
"That's not it. Why do they hate me? I didn't do anything to them" I pouted making smile a little and kiss my lips for a second to get rid of the pout.
"They don't hate you, they don't know you, but Warda and Leyla have always been friends since Leyla was her maid before she became my concubine, and Esmehan and Hatice are really close too maybe if you meet all of my sisters you will get close to one of them too," he said pulling me closer and onto his lap.
"Now let's not talk about these matters," he said against my lips. It was like he was teasing me by not kissing me so I pulled him closer and closed the gap between up. He chuckled against my lips but didn't push me away.
I will meet his sisters and I will make friends with the one I share interests with and besides making friends with his sisters means he will love me more for me.
