QUEEN'S GAMBIT•{Magnificent Century}

Nurbanu could not, would not, settle in the fact that Selim had a new woman. She would not content herself with fading into the background as those who had been cast aside before her had, living in the lap of luxury while the man she had given her heart and her maidenhead head to lounged it up with a new woman -- with a whore!

Against the soothing advice of Canfeda, against the sharp warnings of Hürrem Sultan, Nurbanu sought out this woman, this Behiye with a ferocity that would put a lion to shame. Throwing open the doors of a room she had been drawn away from in the past, she stepped into the rooms of her Sehzade's newest woman.

"You!" Nurbanu shrieked. "Who in the hell do you think you are?!"

The woman, a petite and beautiful thing with curling, moon colored locks stood and smiled before bowing to her as she would Selim's parents.

"I am Behiye." She said in response, straightening to her full height and smiling at the older Sultana. "Behiye Esir Sultan."
