Getting out of the Sultans chamber and avoiding the glare Hürrem hatun shot my way. I entered the corridor that connected the Sultans chamber and the golden path. The first thing my eyes saw was Sümbul and I couldn't contain myself as I just fell into his arms and hugged him. What I've done only struck me when I realized he was frozen in my hands. I quickly stepped back only to see the bas Kadin holding her daughter in her hands and Gülsah holding şehzade Mustafa.
Allah help me.

"Va-" " SHUT UP! I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT " I began to speak only to be immediately silenced by the valide Sultan. To whose mercy I was at now.
My eyes burned from tears along with my now bruised knees. " what black magic struck you!? " she yelled out the question.
It was just yesterday when the bas Kadin promised me that she will keep it a secret. Wished me good luck but also gave me a stern warning to watch how I behave. It seems like this Kadin doesn't know what a promise is.
After everything I've done...
" valide Sultan please -" I begin to plead out only to be silenced again. " shut up! " she silenced me again. " what would have happened if it was the Sultan that found out first???? !! If he already has not that is. A SECRET RELATIONSHIP?!? A SECRET RELATIONSHIP IN THE SULTANS HAREM AND WITH THE MAIN EUNCH!? " she yelled out as she shook with rage.
" WHO ARE YOU TO EMBARRASS ME LIKE THAT!?! DID YOU FORGET YOUR POSITION , KALFA?! " at this my cries intensified and I began to shake. " YOU DARE CRY TOO? DAYE HATUN GET IN HERE! " she ordered sternly.
I've never seen this woman so angry. " Evet, Valide Sultan? " daye asked in a confused voice, I knew she tried to control her expression but the confusion was still evident. " bring me the whip, I'm going to punish Nürmelek kalfa for her wrongdoing. " mine and daye's eyes widen and as we were both to plead the Sultana threw her cup on the floor. " Quickly! "
The Sultana gave me 4 whips on my feet before giving up and making Daye hatun give me 6 more. .... That day I've received 10 whips that felt like 1000. Just because some of the closest people of mine were responsible for it.

"Nür you've done it. What will you do now? Why weren't you more careful? "
Gülnihal worriedly scholded me as she applied the medicine on my wounds. " I know Gülnihal I know - AYY" I hissed out in pain. " what will your punishment be? " Gülnihal asked me worriedly. "Well, I hope for just this but that may be too much to ask for. I don't even know what's going on with Sümbul. " I spoke worriedly my eyes closed. " I spoke with Sekër aga, he said he will do his best to find out. "
" Allah , Allah, AYY" I let out but was quickly Intruped by my own hiss of pain.
* knock knock * knocking noise was heard on the door to my chambers making me and Gülnihal turn our heads. " evet? " Gülnihal spoke out. "I come to check on you Royal Kalfa. " Emine the girl I was nice to at the beginning spoke as she entered my chambers. " I also have some news. Bad news. " Allah please give me patience.
My world come crumbling down, cries escaping my mouth. " no it can't be. No no no no " I pulled at my hair our of despair I didn't know what to do. I couldn't breathe properly. " that can't be true please! It can't be true. " I sobbed out both Gülnihal and Emine holding me trying to calm me down.
Sümbül was executed on the order of the Sultan.
And with that my world stopped having colors.
I cut my hair and wore darker clothes. I tried to isolate myself as much as I could from the others. I wasn't laughing any more. I wasn't dancing I wasn't signing .
A few months later
" what? Quick , go ! " I yelled out as I started running towards the hospital wing. I just found out that Gülnihal was attacked.
" what's going on?! " I yelled out once I entered the chambers. Daye hatun next to the hatun along with Ayse hatun. Poor Gülnihal was on the bed screaming in pain.
" Allah!! Allah help me!!! " she yelled out, everyone's eyes we're glossy and I saw that Ayse was crying. " Nürmelek kalfa, she was poisoned by this fur. "
The physician showed me the fur and I immediately realized what was going on. " HÜRREM HATUN ! " I shouted out angrily anger taking me all over . I ran out of the chambers and ran towards the chambers of the hatun.
I'm going to punish her myself. That wench. I've been too lenient towards her.
" WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE HÜRREM?! " I yelled as I stormed inside the chambers. My yell was soon meet with the sound of a baby crying. The baby was in the hands of Hürrem who looked scared out of her body. " W-who do you think YOU ARE TO SHOUT AT A KADIN? " she tried to act brave and order me around. " Emine! Take Mihrimah Sultana to the harem. Me and Hürrem have to talk. " I ordered and Emine complied, bowing to me. " NO! NO! YOU CAN'T TAKE MY DAUGHTER FROM ME! I FORBID IT! I'm A KADIN!! "
