we, Haseki Hande Sultan, refuse to be belittled to the point of exile. We have given Ahmed everything, from our eternal love and respect to heirs of the dynasty, and now he refuses to acknowledge our existence. We will rise from the ashes and be reborn into the world. It is the time to get revenge. - Haseki Hande Sultan

Sultan Ahmed refused to believe Hande after his new haseki-consorts Esma and Fatma tricked him to think that Hande was conspiring against him and was truly interested in someone else. They produced enough false evidence to do so. Ahmed no longer loved Hande, and there was nothing she could do about it.
