" i want you to take care of her " i looked at the girl laying there as all the ones who were in the nursery bowed
" Hacu agha i entrust you to her and if something happens to her i won't remind you what i will do fine " i looked over at haci agha who was looking down before i walked away
" Sah i want you to accompany Murad , i want you to stay with him as much as possible " me and my daughter walked down the principal hallway
" What are we going to do with muazzez will you let her come ? " sah hesitated before asking me
" I don't know , if she will help murad heal then i will bring her back and osman doesn't know about what she did so he won't oppose " sah nodded before i entered my room
" Valide sultan we have important news and i thought i should tell you first " i looked at cennet who was standing infront of my desk before i walked towards my principal seat
I pushed my dress from it sides before joining my hands together
"one of the old servants of the deceased safiye sultan is close to haci agha and i found them talking together in secret " i raised my eyebrow at her giving her the look of explain
" It might me something " she hesitated before speaking
I stared at her but she was just avoiding the eye contact which i broke after a maid put water on my table , i took a sip before putting it down
" Handan sultan was my biggest enemy and haci agha always had her back , but ahmed put him in my disposition and as i was handan sultan's biggest enemy he would've hated me too " i explained before taking a sip again
" and you were the only one who was with me since i stepped a foot in here where no one was with me " she smiled lightly
" i will trust you , put someone to follow his steps "
" Sultanum i will cherish the trust you are putting on me till my last breath " she approached me before kneeling down
" Don't " i put a hand on her shoulder making her stand up
" I trust you more than myself " i said earning a smile from her
" I want to ask you , who brought the girl from earlier to the palace " i asked making cennet look up
" She was brought when his majesty was still alive , she basically grew up here after safiye sultan brought her here " i knew that anything coming from safiye sultan was suspicious
" I want detailed informations about her before i put her in my service "
I gave the maids the permission before the door opened revealing the girl from earlier accompanied by some maids
" how can you let her stand up " i asked the two girls behind her
" Forgive me but i didn't want to bother anymore " i stood up and walked towards her carefully
" Fine you can all go " i said looking at cennet and the other two girls leaving me and the girl alone .
I offered her a seat but she couldn't look at me , she seemed young and she would most likely be the same age as Murad .
" Tell me what is your name " i grabbed her hand and she immediately looked up
" My name is esleme " i nodded " you have a beautiful name " i smiled before asking her agai n
" Where are you from ? From where did you come and where are your parents " the look in her eyes faded out
" I don't know , i've been in the service of safiye sultan ever since i was very young but when she died they brought me here " the tone of her voice immediately downgraded along with the stare in her eyes
" Look , From now on you will stay with me fine ? You will serve me from now on . I don't want to see you like this anymore " she seemed very close to me as if she was my daughter
" May i ask your highness why did you save me ? And why are you letting me serve you " she shyly asked
" you already know that in our religion suicide is forbidden , and life is worth living no matter what you face the day will come and everything will become better " she let a smile curve in her lips
" Now go to cennet and she will assign you to some tasks , i will see you around " i patted her hand before dismissing her
I watched her leave carefully as she left , she glanced at me one last time before leaving
I had to know her background , she seemed so familiar to me yet it's the first time seeing her
The door knocked again but this time revealing haci agha accompanied with cennet
" Sultanum i caught him with one of safiye sultan's servants and i thought you should see him " cennet looked at haci agha angrily
" Is this what you are doing now ? Continuing handan sultan's plans when i thought you were on my side " i angrily spoke before calming myself down
" Sultanum it is not how you think it is " haci agha defended himself as he threw cennet hand's away
" I promise i will tell you but not now " he begged as my eyes travelled to cennet
" Are you putting conditions on our valide sultan " cennet hissed
" I wouldn't dare , it's something important i should say it to his majesty first "
" Then who am I ? I am his mother and i should know things first speak " he walked towards me as he looked behind at cennet
" I do not mean to disrespect you but what i am going to tell can turn the whole world upside down " he whispered as his eyes grew bigger
" my head will be the cost of it " i looked at him seriously as i could clearly see the fear in his eyes
" I will protect your life if you tell me what's going on " He hesitated looking around as he was getting on my nerves each second
" If you're not going to speak i'll throw you in the bosphurus and no one will know if you're alive or not " i yelled at him making him flinch
