Istanbul, Topkapi Palace......
Kosem Sultan was in her room looking at some documents. When door opened and Murad came in. " Mother, Good morning. " Kosem stood up and wished back, " Good Morning, my son. " Murad took her hands and kiss the back of it.
" I came to ask for your blessings in this blessed day." She smiled and replied " My prayers are always with you. But what do you mean by blessed day? " Murad just looked at her without replying. " You went out without telling anyone last night. Tell me, what happened? " " Mother, I have made important decisions. Very important decisions for me and the state. " Kosem Sultan looked at him and kept her hand at his face and asked " What's wrong with you? You've got a poker face. Won't you tell me what your plan is?" Murad looked at her and spoke " You will wait, mother. You will find out with everyone." With that he nodded and went away. Kosem just looed as he walked away and started to think .
Here, in the courtyard there were a large amount of people were gathered for the council. As the soldiers came in the courtyard one of them went to Topal Pasha and asked " What do you think, Pasha? Do you think he will give us what we demanded? ". " I spoke to him myself, Osman the Witch, there is nothing to worry about. " "Well, Bıçakçıoğlu was killed last night. We don't know who did it. " listening to this Topal just looked at him and sign him to go back. Then he went back to his place and stood with other Pashas. Then there came a man, by his looks it was clear that he was not a pasha nor a common man. " Why are you here, Evliya Çelebi? " A pasha asked him. " I saw people marching on the place, and I thought 'Damn! A turmoil will break out!'. And I thought I should be there. You think I am right?" All the other Pashas just looked at him and then at each other. Just then two soldiers came holding a mace. It was so heavy that they were unable to bring it. looking this all the people present got tensed. " Wow, wow , wow... Look at that mace! Two man can hardly carry it."Evliya Çelebi exclimed.
On the other side of the courtyard Murad was wearing his crown. And the door opened and a soldier announced.
Behold! His Excellency Sultan Murad Khan!
