Your Grace.

The letters from the nobles of Amasya started to arrive...

...answering to His Majesty.

Prince!

Girls get out, out all of you! Quick!!

Prince.

Prince!

Prince, you must prepare quickly!

Our Sultan has arrived!

- Nurbanu! - What's happening?

Bad news.

His Majesty came to the palace..

Where is Selim?

Prince, you must get it together quickly!

What are you doing Gazanfer?

My prince..

His Majesty can not see you in this state.

Dad?

Your Highness.

At last the letters that we've been...

...waiting for so long have begun to arrive.

What do they write?

As I assumed, everyone is praising him.

They wrote such things, that the ones who love...

...him the most, will be the end for Prince Mustafa.

Look what they write about him.

Our future Sultan!

Future Sultan.

They wrote so, knowing that you will read it, is that so?

Many letters had the same expression.

It seems...

...everyone around Prince Mustafa are ready for rebellion.

Then His Majesty must be prepared for this possibility.

Your Majesty?

I always stood behind you.

I did not believe even one word said about you.

Is this how you repay me?

Do you manage your province like this?

Lusting and drinking with women?!

I did not know you would come so early, Your Majesty.

And what would you do if you knew?

What would you do?

Would you hide your shame?

Would you hide your sins?

Would you trick me again?

I arrived earlier, just to see what state you are in!

You behave like an animal! What a shame!

You forgot what is a sin and what is not! Get out of my sight!

- Father! - Get out of here!

What happens now?

I do not know at all.

I'm afraid that His Majesty will send...

...the prince to another province.

God save us!

Save your breathe.

I don't think he will hear you.

What are you doing here?

I guess you forgot, I'm a sultana!

His Majesty didn't want to come to Manisa without me.

Why do you have to go? I do not understand.

You could wait for His Majesty to return or send a messenger.

This way is better.

His Majesty must learn about the situation at once.

How do you think it will end? Brother Mustafa...

Everyone who calls himself the future Sultan...

...will do anything to turn it into reality.

For this reason, His Majesty will wants to prevent it, before it is too late.

Prince Mustafa plays a game, Mihrimah.

You can be sure there...

...will be blood at the end of this game.

His blood, or the blood of your brothers...

...Selim, Beyazid and Cihangir.

We must stand tall.

Especially you and me.

Did you understand me?

Prince Cihangir, His Highness.

- Prince. - Pasha.

I need to go as soon as possible, forgive me.

Your Highness.

Have a nice journey.

Cihangir, welcome, come.

What's going on, Mihrimah?

Why is the Pasha so much in a hurry?

Nothing important.

He must go to Edirne for state matters.

In that case, the guards received bad information.

They just told me that the Pasha is going to Manisa.

So, they gave you a room?

I thought you lived with the other girls upstairs.

The most beautiful chamber in the harem.

Sultana Mahidevran once lived in it.

If that's the case, I'll stay here for now.

You find yourself a different room.

At least until I'm gone.

Know your place, Valeria.

I'm a sultana too now.

And I didn't give birth to a girl like you!

I feel sorry for you, Cecilia.

Your head is in the clouds.

I will tell you the truth.

You are a woman of a drunken prince.

And I'm the sultan's wife.

So you better be nice to me.

Or I'll make you regret the day you were born.

Take my food to the veranda.

I want to take a walk around the palace.

As you command, Your Highness.

Nurbanu.

What did we discuss?

Don't even think about messing with her.

How could Sultana Hurrem allowed this?

She should have stopped her before she even left the palace.

- Mother. - Mihrimah, have a seat.

- Has Rustem left? - He has.

Unhappiness must be this palace's fate.

What happened? What's wrong?

Cihangir came to me.

He had learned that Rustem has left for Manisa, kept asking about it

I was forced to explain the situation.

What does this child want? I do not understand.

As you know, Mustafa means a lot to Cihangir.

His love and respect for him is great.

The bond between them is very strong.

This bond will harm Cihangir first, then us.

We need to watch out for Cihangir.

Prince Mustafa keeps making mistakes one after another.

I won't sit by idly, while he drags my son...

...to his betrayal.

My dear brother Mustafa!

Noblemen of Amasya and nearby governors wrote letters to the capital.

It is clear that it's about you.

You would do best to investigate it.

As Rustem Pasha set off in a...

...hurry to Manisa to inform His Majesty.

As always, with love - your brother Cihangir.

Cihangir, my lion, my nephew...

My sultana.

Doesn't it bother you that you sit in...

...the room all day and read books?

Not tired of reading but I'm tired of...

...sitting around all day.

Huricihan left too, sure.

You are all alone now.

Why don't you come visit me?

We can walk together, talk...

I didn't want to bother you.

Oh stop it, you're no bother.

You've come of age.

You can't have too much fun with me.

But there must be people you can have fun with.

Sultana, can I ask you for something?

That's the spirit, Cihangir. Don't be embarrassed.

You are a prince.

All the beauties in the world...

...will come begging to my lion.

It's not about that, Sultana.

His Majesty will not even want to look me in the face.

I was in a rose garden. I had his love.

Now look at me, I ruined everything.

Don't be so upset.

We'll find a solution, surely.

What solution Nurbanu?

Everything's over, don't you see?

It's not over until you say so!

You can not turn back time, this is the truth.

But you can control what happens tomorrow.

Either you accept it and lose, or you don't give up and win.

Prince, Your Highness.

Are you the one they call Atmaca?

Sultana Fatma said that you are one of...

...the closest guards of Prince Mustafa.

She said that I can trust you.

Have no doubt, prince.

Have no doubt? While his closest guard is...

...so far away from him?

To protect our prince, sometimes I need to be away.

Just like now.

The sooner you deliver it, the better it will be.

Your Majesty, Prince Selim is waiting for you to receive him.

Let him in.

Your Majesty.

First your brother Mustafa disappointed me.

Then Beyazid and now you.

All three of you, stood in front of me in such ways.

I was embarrassed instead of you.

I blamed myself each time.

Apparently. I've made a mistake somewhere in your upbringing.

Of course not, Your Majesty.

I am guilty of my mistake.

I couldn't be worthy of such a great sultan such as yourself.

I feel ashamed.

I'm covered in shame.

I wish the ground had swallowed me whole...

...so you wouldn't see me that way.

But I did see you..

Please forgive me, your majesty.

Forgive your poor subject Selim, so he can...

...have a chance to walk in your footsteps again.

And what will happen if I forgive you?

You'll fall into this pit as soon as I turn my back.

No, I assure you that it will never happen again.

Whoever repents to God, to not return to sin again...

...God turns to the two angels who write down our sins...

...and make that person and people around them forget their sins.

I would like to repent in front of you, your majesty.

I will never commit sin again.

Sumbul Agha?

Afife Hatun, I was just about to see you.

Why do you leave in such a manner?

What did you do?

My mistakes are infinite but this is not the case.

The sultana gave me my freedom.

Stop messing around.

Tell me what happened, maybe I can help.

This is the truth, Afife Hatun.

Sultana freed me.

I'm now a free man.

You must find a new agha for the girls now.

I do not know whether to be happy or sad.

Did you think it over, Sumbul?

Leaving the harem after years is not easy.

After all, there's an order here.

Dozens of people under your command.

What will you do outside?

I thought about it for days.

On one hand, I'm afraid that I'll perish...

...like fish out of the water.

On the other hand, I'm curious on...

...how to live without taking orders...

...without bending the knee for anyone.

Maybe it'll be hard at first but...

...one can get used to anything.

You know I'm old.

At least I'll spend the rest of my days as a free man.

I'm worried sultana.

What will happen to the harem when Sumbul Agha leaves?

That is so.

We'll figure out a way.

Your responsibility will increase.

I think we should interfere.

Why would he want his freedom at this age?

Not everyone is as lucky as you, Mihrimah.

I do not expect you to understand this.

You realize what it means to be free...

...when you lose your freedom.

Come in.

Your Highness.

Afife Hatun, I suppose you're here for Sumbul.

He said that he was freed, Your Highness.

But I don't know if he's joking or telling the truth--

He's telling the truth.

I transferred these properties I own to Sumbul.

Do what's needed.

As you command, Your Highness.

Rustem Pasha unexpectedly left for Manisa.

I think you know why.

I have no information, Your Highness.

There is probably an urgent and important issue.

State matters can not wait.

He'll be back soon.

He will come back...

...but no one knows how long will he keep his position.

If I were you, I'd prepare for that day.

What matters to me is to serve, Your Highness.

I do not care for high office.

You're a smart man, I give you that.

You've become the Admiral of the Navy at such a young age.

There is a bright future ahead of you.

You shouldn't serve our slaves and ruin your future.

I am saying this to put your mind at ease, Your Highness.

I'm bound to His Majesty with loyalty.

I will not join any dirty alliance, whether secret or public.

If only Rustem was as pure as you are.

You saw for yourself. Even Hurrem doesn't trust him.

She was eavesdropping on the Divan.

I do not know the truth to it.

I'll tell the truth.

Hurrem no longer supports Rustem.

At first chance, she'll throw him to the wolves.

I don't think so.

Rustem Pasha has a special place in Sultana Hurrem's heart.

In addition, she is the husband of her daughter.

Rustem's marriage with Mihrimah is not his strength.

It's his weakness.

If Mihrimah wanted it, he can destroy Rustem with three words.

''I divorce you, I divorce you, I divorce you''

And nobody will object to it.

Then...

...your time will come.

What happened? What did you talk about?

I begged forgiveness from His Majesty.

I repented, told him I won't drink again.

He did not say anything.

I hope he'll show his grace and forgive me.

Thank God.

Nurbanu, what are you thanking for?

His Majesty didn't answer me.

He just looked at me, without uttering a single word.

He accepted to see you, then he listened to you.

Since he was silent, he wanted to think on it.

- You think so? - Yes.

You will be more careful from now on and drink responsibly.

Then you won't harm anyone.

Nurbanu, I really repented!

I will not drink anymore!

Come in.

Sumbul.

Your Highness.

So it's time to say goodbye.

Your Highness, I'll inform you on how I'm doing.

Good. Do not keep me worrying.

Your Highness.

I'll pray for you every night before going to bed.

Let the Almighty protect you and your loved ones.

Amin.

May your path be clear and illuminated like your heart.

May God protect you.

Your Highness.

Without you, this palace and harem will not be the same. Each of us will miss you.

I hope you'll be happy where you go.

I hope so, Your Highness.

I--

I should go now, Your Highness.

Agha.

This Harem won't be the same without you.

Finally you realized my worth.

Fahriye, take good care of the sultana.

Do not neglect her medicine.

Okay okay.

You keep saying the same thing since morning.

Come on, go at once.

Don't keep the people busy.

Forgive me if I wronged you.

We do.

Girls, are you having fun with this?

Get back to work!

Godspeed, Agha. Don't forget us.

How could I forget you?

Visit us time to time.

What do we do without you?

- You also forgive me if I wronged you. - We do.

Brother.

- Welcome brother. - Thank you

I set off as soon as I got your letter.

Is he here?

He is.

Brother, I have a wish from you.

If you accept, you'll make me really happy.

How can I refuse you?

What is the matter?

Huricihan.

Bayezid!

Call her to your palace. She should stay at Amasya.

You'll write to me when it's time so I'll come there.

And then what will happen?

I don't know.

I don't know, brother, I don't know!

I just want to see her.

I want to see her somewhere safe, away from prying eyes.

Will you help me?

Huricihan.

My prince.

You were sure you would not see me again...

...and now I am with you.

I'm by your side.

Thanks to our prince.

I just wanted to protect you.

As I saw the love and the pain in Bayezid's eyes.

He could get himself in more trouble.

Brother you're reading my thoughts.

You see how well I received you.

You have a beautiful room.

It even has a terrace.

''Oh the sultana bestows it upon me''

You need to do this anyways.

Otherwise you would bitterly regret it...

- Be careful! - Forgive me, Your Highness.

You couldn't train your concubines.

This is not the way to serve!

You're right.

I couldn't find someone who serves like you.

In Venice, if someone told me that you would...

...serve me, I would not believe it in my life.

Now look, you stand in front of me...

...you have to do as I say.

This must be what they call the fate's irony, huh?

You're right. Fate's irony.

But no one can be sure what their fate has in store.

Sultana Nurbanu.

Speak.

Preparations are done for the name ceremony.

I'm coming.

If you want, you also take part in it.

That's what I came for.

My place is His Majesty's side.

Come in.

Your Majesty.

Your Majesty?

We are waiting for you to start the naming ceremony.

Your name is Mustafa. Your name is Mustafa.

Your name is Mustafa.

Your name is Mustafa.

Your name is Murad. Your name is Murad.

Your name is Murad.

- May God guide him along the path of good. - Amen.

- May God give him all the best. - Amen.

May God save his life for the service of the Ottoman dynasty.

Your Majesty.

It is a great honor for us...

...that us that you gave our prince a name.

May God give you a long life.

Your Majesty.

I did not know what to do when I received...

...a message from Prince Mustafa.

I was wondering whether to come here.

I didn't think you were behind it.

I just couldn't say goodbye to you like that.

What happens now?

What are we going to do Bayezid?

I got something on my mind.

Trust me.

Mustafa, you bring disaster on yourself.

If His Majesty hears what Bayezid's doing here...

...he'll demand answers from you first!

Mother, do not worry.

His Majesty will not know about it.

Bayezid will not be here long.

I hope that he will leave here the soonest...

...and avoid further quarrels and disputes.

You did not tell him that Mihrunnisa is your wife, right?

Although he is your brother, he is the son of Hurrem.

Her men are around him.

Someone would finally know.

Mother, I have nothing to hide from Bayezid.

I trust him fully.

Keep this secret to yourself.

Just in case.

- Take it easy. - Thank you, sir!

- How much do they cost? - Two coins.

- Do you make them yourself? - Yes, I make them myself.

Are you the woman who had a case with Prince Selim?

Yes. It's me.

I heard that the case was reopened.

You heard it well.

The case resumed and the sentence passed.

The prince paid more than the judge ordered.

In addition, he gave me a farm to manage and takes...

...care of me and my children. I am very grateful to him.

Very good.

I'll take these two.

Have a good day.

Thank you!

Suleyman.

The supreme sultan of my heart.

My sultan.

I may be free. I'm not locked...

...in dark dungeons maybe.

However, what good it is when I'm away from you?

This world is a great prison and I am a...

...pathetic prisoner deprived of your love.

There is only one way out of this prison...

...and you hold the key to it.

It you deprive me of your love, know...

...that I will suffocate in this darkness.

One word from you is enough to illuminate my darkness.

Come in!

Your Highness.

Are there any news from Manisa?

Did Rustem arrive there?

He'll arrive soon, Your Highness.

Should I prepare a messenger?

I'm guessing you'll need it.

No need.

I guess that His Majesty will not forgive me.

We are in the same palace...

...and he does not even want to look at me.

Do not lose hope prince.

His Majesty's love for you won't diminish so quickly.

I thought we'd join the Friday prayers together.

But he's so offended by me...

...he doesn't even do that.

Is he going to pray at the palace mosque?

That's what I heard, Prince.

If so, let's go!

Make way! Sultan Suleyman Khan!

- His Majesty is coming. - I told you prince. Do not lose hope.

Your Majesty!

I'll do my prayers in my late mother's mosque, you'll join me.

I'd be honored.

Since you've already repented...

...do not forget the words of Rumi.

''Son, the paradise has 8 doors''

One of those 8 doors is the door of redemption.

The other doors are sometimes open, sometimes closed.

But the door of redemption never closes.

A life without repenting is torment.

The one who is not ready to keep his oath awaits...

...the inevitable and unexpected death from Allah.

If your life has passed, know that the root of your life is this.

Water your life tree with repenting.

The horse of repent is a strange one.

It can jump from this miserable...

...world to the heavens instantly.

Your advices will illuminate me, Your Majesty.

Please, forgive me, it will not happen...

...again. I will be a son worthy of you.

This matter is between you and...

...the Almighty God, do not forget.

I've never seen you like that.

Thanks to you.

I will never forget what you did for me, brother.

I understand again that, my respect...

...and love for you are not in vain.

The time has come for you to return to your province, Beyazid.

Yes, I'm coming back, brother...

...but not alone.

Huricihan will be with me.

And what will happen next?

We will secretly get married.

Afterwards, I'll explain everything to His Majesty with a letter.

Do you realize how important this is?

I thought about everything, brother, everything.

My respect for you has no limits but do not try to stop me.

I don't have no right to do so.

Especially, when I made the same mistake.

What do you mean?

Come with me.

Prince.

You know of Mihrunnisa, right?

I never met her, but I heard about her.

She is the daughter of the late Captain Pasha.

That's night, she is my advisor.

And at the same time...

...my lawful wife.

How? You...

Tradition is clear, Prince.

We are not allowed to get married.

That's why we decided to get married in secret.

Thank God, I carry the Prince's child in me.

So I can only congratulate you now.

Both of us couldn't tame our hearts, huh?

Our hearts...

...lead us along a dangerous path.

There is no point in throwing yourself into the fire.

His Majesty does not know that I married Mihrunnisa.

And he will never know about it.

Don't worry. Your secret is safe.

If I was worried, I wouldn't share this secret with you brother.

I'm actually worried about you.

No matter what I tell you, you won't give up on Huricihan.

If so, keep your marriage secret.

If His Majesty finds out about this...

...this will only work for Selim. No one else.

You understood me, right?

Maybe we'll spend the winter here.

Compared with Istanbul, here is so boring.

Do you still look at the stars?

Sometimes.

You said you saw your destiny in the stars.

That you will get to the top.

I'm guessing the stars have lied to you.

In Venice, you were a bastard!

Now you're an ordinary concubine.

And look at me. I've climbed to the top!

What does our Sultana Hurrem say?

What did she write?

Valeria...

She wants me to kill Valeria.

Sultanas can become slaves and slaves become sultanas.

This is life.

You're at the top, I admit.

But what matters is, keeping your position at the top.

Can you do that? Can you?

Do you have the strength to do it?

What insolence! How dare you talk to me like that?

Oh no! Notify the guards immediately!

Quickly!

How is my mother, your majesty?

I hope she is healthy.

She's fine.

Forgive me for my curiosity, but I thought...

...you would come together.

Come in!

Your Majesty, disaster!

How did this happen? Explain immediately!

She fell from the balcony, Your Majesty.

Nurbanu, tell me what happened! Were you here?

Your Majesty.

Everything happened so unexpectedly fast.

I came to talk to her.

Together, we went out onto the balcony.

Canfeda Hatun and Ayse Hatun were also with us.

How did she fall?

There was a necklace on her neck.

When it fell from her neck, she leaned over to look.

Then the railing broke.

I ran to grab her but I could not.

Forgive me.

Welcome!

We have not seen each other for a long time...

...you have been in the capital too long.

We could only come now.

This letter is for our prince.

The prince Cihangir sent it.

It must be important.

Or he wouldn't needed us.

Come with me.

Your Grace.

It's a huge honor to see you here, welcome.

Thank you, Gazanfer.

Inform His Majesty, Lokman. I need to see him now.

He is resting now.

If this is not something very important, come a little later.

I didn't come all this way out of joy! Do as I say!

How are things going? Everything all right?

Except for that unfortunate accident...

...thank God, we have no other problems.

What accident?

The favorite of His Majesty, Nazenin Hatun...

...has passed away in an accident.

An accident, huh? Is that so?

His Majesty is waiting for you, Your Grace.

Your Majesty, prince.

First of all, accept my condolences, I just heard...

...your favorite has passed away.

May she rest in peace.

Amin.

God bless you Rustem. It was God's will.

What is up? What brought you all the way here?

As you already know, about Prince Mustafa...

You wanted me to write a message to the...

...people Amasya.

Their answers have arrived.

That's why you came?

There are letters you'd want to read at once.

I decided to deliver them to you personally.

Leave me alone with the Pasha.

Your Majesty.

Unfortunately, the love for the prince from...

...the people in Amasya, passes all boundaries, Your Majesty.

So much so that in every letter they...

...write about him as the future Sultan.

What does all this mean?

What is the purpose of Rustem Pasha?

Judging by the fact that even Prince Cihangir...

...is concerned the situation is serious.

That's right.

Rustem Pasha is playing a new game.

Their secret chamber was exposed.

They seek for revenge.

I want to know which people in Amasya have been sent...

...letters to. Find out who and what he wrote about.

As you command, Prince.

We consider ourselves extremely fortunate because...

...the future sultan Prince Mustafa is in charge.

When he leaves us to take the...

...throne, we will fall into great sadness.

May God give a long life to our...

...happy and grand prince Mustafa.

We are content, when he's with us.

Whoever complained about him, openly lied!

Our future sultan is honest. He's never unfair.

Our prince is the future of our great state.

He is as brave and bold as his late...

...grandfather Sultan Selim.

He's very similar to him.

I did not want to grieve you, Your Majesty.

But it is my duty to warn you when danger arises.

These people who sent answers are not ordinary people.

There are governors among them.

They wrote this knowing that I'll read them personally.

Leave me alone.

Oh the bottomless dungeon.

Oh the other side of my soul...

...which I hide from everyone.

Oh the one, keeping me awake in my bed, on...

...nights that I thought the sun would never rise.

Oh the one, which frightens me more than...

...bloodbaths on battlefields, brutish soldiers...

...strong poisons from the lands of India...

...which one drop is enough to kill a man.

From the swords made my Tabrizi masters...

...which can cut a hair into two.

Oh my darkness.

Oh the demon inside me.

Oh evil, I fight with you every night.

You never won and never defeated the light.

You see Pargali.

My father wanted to take my life with this jacket.

I will never forget it.

I pray to God that I will avoid such acts in the future.

Prince, you have a good conscience.

You will never decide to do this.

When one day you are in doubt, remember this day.

Remember what happened today.

Remind yourself how you buried this...

...anger, betrayal and cruelty.

Guards!

Inside the white there is black...

...and inside the black is white.

Every man has light and darkness inside.

In each of us, there is the angel...

...and the demon. Hell and paradise.

The one you prefer will win.

The one you will reject will lose.

I have sent my people to know...

...the content of these letters.

I'd like to calm you down.

But Rustem wouldn't go to Manisa without reason.

Thank God Cihangir informed us before it's too late.

You're right.

He's our eyes and ears at the palace.

Is there any way I can help you?

Just stay away from this, that's enough.

I fully trust myself.

I never did a mistake against the people of Manisa until now.

There isn't anything I can't answer for.

For sure.

But could someone talked about Mihrunnisa Hatun?

Everything is possible.

I'm always with you, brother.

No matter what, if you have a wish, just let me know.

I can stay longer if you'd like.

No, you go back to your province.

Bayezid.

There will always be traitors around you. Be careful.

Thank you brother.

For your help and your guidance.

Godspeed brother.

I heard that there was an unpleasant...

...incident between you and His Majesty.

Do not worry, Rustem Pasha.

That's all in past. The ice between us broke.

I got His Majesty to trust me, Thank God.

May God get you two closer.

Amin.

You should tell me about those letters.

Will it work in our favor?

I don't know how His Majesty will receive...

...this, but this incident can't be ignored.

His Majesty was disturbed by the fact that people...

...think Prince Mustafa is similar to Sultan Selim Khan.

After all, he dethroned his grandfather...

...Sultan Bayezid from power.

Start packing, we return to the capital.

As you command, Your Majesty.

You never visited me in my palace.

Rustem left too.

I'm left alone.

Mother also complains that she hardly sees you.

My pains are tormenting me.

I rarely leave even from the room.

Are there any news from Rustem Pasha?

Are you wondering about the letters?

To be honest, I am.

We shouldn't be dealing with these matters.

Look around you.

Look.

Look at the beauty that surrounds you.

Taste the fruits no one else can taste.

Read the books, written on across the world. Enjoy life!

We are not soldiers in this battle...

...and we will never be.

Actually this is a blessing for us.

True, you're right.

I am not a soldier in this battle.

I can not be.

I should know how blessed I am, right?

They called me their future sultan?

How is this possible?!

Only my enemies could do such evil to me.

They all praised you for your own good but...

...they didn't think it would lead to this.

Now I understand why Rustem was in a hurry to Manisa.

That's right.

This is the last thing His Majesty would want to hear now.

Prince, I should set off to investigate about this.

It's too early, we have to wait.

What are we waiting for, prince?

You have to prevent this scheme.

Be patient Mihrunnisa.

We don't even know what is going on.

Sooner or later, we'll get a scent.

Then we'll figure out a way.

Your Highness.

What's with you?

His Majesty returned to the palace, he is here finally.

Prince Bayezid, His Highness.

- Dad! - My Orhan!

My lion!

My Osman.

They are growing fast.

At this age, children grow very quickly.

Welcome, prince.

Mentor, I hope all is good in my province.

Everything's alright, my prince. Just as you left it.

That's good.

Prince, why did Prince Mustafa want you to come?

Why did he invite you?

This is not the time for it, Mentor.

Let me introduce you to someone now.

Sultana Huricihan.

From now on she will live with me.

Prince.

How is this possible?

Everything is possible, Mentor. If I want it, it's possible.

Make way! Sultan Suleyman Khan!

You can leave.

Where's Nazenin, Lokman?

There was an unfortunate accident, Your Highness.

Such misfortune.

Nazenin Hatun fell from the balcony and passed away.

Hurrem.

You are not so surprised.

I hope it has nothing to do with you.

Didn't you hear what Lokman Agha said?

He said it was an accident.

What can my mother do about an incident...

...which happened miles away?

Hurrem likes to interfere with things...

...that are of no concern to her.

Wasn't this the reason for His Majesty to...

...take his favorite with him, and not Hurrem?

You were her closest one in this palace.

My condolences.

Your loss is great.

What can I say?

May God forgive her sins.

Sultana Hurrem, Her Highness!

What happened Rustem, tell me?

What did His Majesty say when he read the letters?

He was very angry, Your Highness.

He wanted to return immediately, and he...

...did not say a word during the journey.

You know it better than me, at such moments...

...His majesty takes his time.

It's hard to tell what's on his mind.

It seems to me that he did not forgive me also.

He came back and did not even look at me.

They say that the girl fell of of the balcony.

What a weird accident.

Do you think His Majesty is in sorrow because of this?

I don't know.

What do you think?

It's obvious something's on your mind.

I'm not sure.

But...

...the letters that Rustem Pasha brought...

...to His Majesty can be related to it.

What could be written in them?

Do you know anything about this?

I tried to find out but I could not.

- Welcome. - Thank you.

What do you think His Majesty will do?

We've been away for days.

Let's not talk about this today, huh?

I missed you.

You came back so soon.

How can you miss me that much?

It seemed like an eternity to me.

Sultana Huricihan can not stay here, my prince.

Do you think that His Majesty will agree to this?

He will not find out, Mentor

I do not understand... how so?

You have two options, Mentor.

Either you'll be by my side and hide Huricihan in this palace.

Or you'll be at odds with me, so I'll send you away.

Decision is yours.

As I do not have a third option...

...then I am on your side, Prince.

I've always been.

Otherwise, the whole world would learn about...

...your trip to Amasya, starting with your mother.

I respect you, Mentor.

But no matter what, even for my own good...

...you'll stop communicating with my mother.

I will treat the smallest mistake as betrayal...

...and you will pay dearly for it.

When His Majesty first arrived, I was very scared.

I'm in awe of how smart you are.

You quickly fixed things between you two.

Now we do not have to be afraid of anything.

If it's like you say, His Majesty will be...

...busy with Prince Mustafa for a long time.

Come in.

Mustafa and Bayezid regard me as their enemy.

But their real enemy is themselves.

They're unaware of this.

In that case. Let's celebrate that they destroy each other.

What is this?

I thought this much wouldn't do any harm.

Didn't I tell you I repented? That I don't want it anymore.

Put these away.

I don't want it in my palace again.

Nurbanu did not let us down.

She passed her first big test.

It is true.

I sent the right person to Manisa.

His Majesty did not stay there too long, you are finally together.

You call it being together?

His Majesty did not look at me once.

It's so hard not to be together when I'm so close to him.

His Majesty won't be able to resist your love, Your Highness.

I made an oath.

I'll sacrifice an animal when you make up.

I hope so.

Make way! Prince Cihangir, His Highness!

Cihangir, I've been wondering about you.

Why don't you visit me?

Mother.

Can we talk?

His Majesty's mood is known to all.

He is very upset.

Are the letters Rustem delivered...

...the cause of this?

Do not think about such matters.

Mother, I'm not a child anymore.

I asked you a question.

Is His Majesty upset by these letters?

It seems so.

We suffer for Mustafa's mistake again.

What was in those letters?

Are you sure you want to know?

In that case, listen to me carefully.

Important people around the prince have crossed the line.

These people call the prince 'the future Sultan.”

If your brother, whom you trust so much...

...didn't allow them, they wouldn't dare do this!

We must convince Mustafa, Mihrunnisa.

He must explain to His Majesty that...

...he had nothing to do with these letters.

I don't think that prince will agree to do so.

He thinks it will do more harm than good.

You can not ask for forgiveness if you are innocent.

Let us not put ourselves in a guilty position.

We'll sit by idly again.

My father always used to say...

''You can't go full sail during a storm''

Our fate lies in the hands of His Majesty.

This time his wrath will destroy everything.

Your Majesty.

I know that you received letters regarding Mustafa.

I'm sure Mustafa was not responsible for this.

One can not blame a man for the image...

...that others see him.

Cihangir... people create their images themselves.

If your brother Mustafa didn't think that...

...way, no one would imagine him like that.

Even I sometimes dream, Your Majesty.

Thinking what would I do, if I took the throne.

And he's the eldest and the most experienced prince.

Don't you think he should be ready for that day?

That day will come when I will...

...leave this world forever, Cihangir.

May God prevent it.

Of course I'll die someday.

But when that day comes, I wish the...

...best of my sons would take the throne...

...not the most ready one.

"Sultan of my heart''

I defeated all my enemies.

I've been rotting away at the pit I fell.

And I'm reborn from my ashes to see you once more.

I walked to my death for you. And I came back.

I want to be your shadow.

The steel you hold, the stone you step on.

Walk all over me.

Throw me in the fire if you want.

Lock me in the dungeon, bury underground...

...but do not turn away from me.

If I can be with you on the other side...

...I'll drink poison myself.

My heart. The sultan of my heart.

Longing for you, while being so close...

...seeing your face but not being able to touch, is worse than death.

Your Majesty.

Sultana Hurrem is waiting behind the door.

What do I tell her?

What did His Majesty say, Afife?

Your Highness.

His majesty did not want to see you.

Talks with the Austrian envoys continue.

They want peace as soon as possible.

They're ready to give up on many things for our friendship.

How is Francois doing? Did he get any better?

The sergeant we sent is back, your majesty.

Unfortunately, the king's health is serious.

May he recover.

For his son, Henryk, the Prince of...

...Orleans, married Katarina De Medici.

So they'll be the Pope's and...

...Duke of Urbino's ally more than us.

Without the help of the Empire, France will...

...not be able withstand the Spaniards.

Where one door closes the other opens, your majesty.

Your Majesty, this is a letter from Persia.

The sender is Tahmasb's brother, Elkas Mirza.

If you agree, he wants to come to the...

...capital to be your vassal, your majesty.

What's the matter?

He is waging war with his brother to rule the country.

When he lost the battle, he escaped...

...to Crimea with the 2000 soldiers he has.

What's your advice in this case?

We should use this opportunity, your majesty.

Mehmet Pasha, what do you think?

The pasha is right, your majesty.

Elkas Mirza is the favorite of the Persian people.

We can use this to our gain.

I think so too.

In addition, our doors are always open to people seeking asylum.

Rustem Pasha, send him a letter, let him come.

Your wish is my command.

Your Highness.

His Majesty ordered tailors to sew...

...a robe for Prince Mustafa.

Are you sure?

How did you find out?

From Lokman Agha.

Then I talked to the tailor.

His Majesty ordered it to be a unique caftan...

...decorated with fur and precious stones.

That means he ignores Mustafa's fault again.

And this gift...

A caftan huh?

So ironic.

Why are you saying that, Your Highness?

When His Majesty was a prince in Manisa...

...he recieved a caftan for a gift.

A very precious caftan.

At the last moment, however, Sultana Mother...

...realized it was poisonous.

As it was the most beautiful...

...caftan she'd ever seen.

We worked day and night, Your Majesty.

I hope we could sew a caftan worthy of you and the prince.

Good.

You and all your tailors will be rewarded for your efforts.

Your praise is our greatest reward.

Put this in the chest as well. This goes to my Mustafa too.

As you ask, Your Majesty.

Your Highness, the commander of the fleet...

...Mehmet Pasha came.

He wants to see Rustem Pasha.

We invited him inside.

Oh God... at such a late hour.

Your Highness.

Welcome pasha, how are you?

I pray for your health.

What is up? I guess it's urgent.

That's true, Your Highness.

Important state matters.

Sokullu, what are you doing here?

I have come to notify you of an important state matter.

Follow me.

How dare you come to my palace...

...and talk to Sultana Mihrimah?

I had important news, so I was forced to.

They say the King of France had died.

I thought maybe you should know--

You could come to the Divan tomorrow and gave a report!

If I see you in my palace and...

...around Sultana Mihrimah again...

...I won't forgive you, Sokullu!

Do not forget.

You may go now.

Get out.

What were you talking about?

What can we talk about Rustem?

We were just chatting until you arrived.

Did you meet while I was gone?

No way! Are you jealous of him?

For God's sake. Don't make me laugh.

That is impossible.

Why did you come?

Where are the messengers?

Prince Cihangir sent me.

I came to take the chest.

They want to put their own gift into the chest.

Why don't I know about this?

Yesterday, the prince came here...

...personally, but you were not here.

He is telling the truth, master. The prince...

...ordered it yesterday, I forgot to tell you.

God give me patience.

I've been miserable from working for so many days.

It slipped my mind.

Fine then. Make haste, Agha.

Be careful, don't let anything happen to it.

Do not worry.

Bring it back now, so they don't get suspicious.

Fahriye, take this to Lokman...

...let him put it in His Majesty's chambers.

Don't be so upset, Your Highness.

God forbid, I'm afraid you might get sick.

I can not fall asleep for so many nights.

So I write my feelings on these papers.

So His Majesty will read them and end this dispute.

Make way! Prince Cihangir!

My prince.

I want to see the caftan meant for Mustafa.

You still didn't finish it yet?

It's finished, my prince.

It's on its way to Amasya already.

Didn't they inform you?

An Agha came and said you sent him because...

...you want to add your gift to the chest.

What are you talking about? What Agha?

I did not send anyone.

Oh son.

I have heard that Governors and...

...Lords call you the ''Future Sultan''

I don't want to think that...

...you like this nickname.

As you have the experience to know...

...that this might lead to dire consequences.

Be mindful of how your subjects behave.

There should be boundaries between love and respect.

Otherwise, if you cross this border, then such...

...empty words will lead to unnecessary courage.

Do not forget that I trust you and that...

...you hold a special place in my heart.

Remember these words and do not stray off the good path...

...because only such a path can lead you to light.

Come in.

Your Highness.

What happened?

The prince has just received a gift from His Majesty.

You were worrying for no reason.

What is this gift?

- A wonderful caftan. - A caftan?

- Where is Mustafa? - In his chambers.

I think His Majesty has good intentions.

Such a beautiful caftan.

But it's clear that...

...he is not happy according to what he wrote.

Won't you put it on?

Open the door!

Mustafa, do not put it on, do not put it on!!

Drop that now!

God, thank you Lord.

What's happening, mother?

It might be poisoned.

It's impossible, Your Highness.

His Majesty sent it.

If so, put it on yourself.

We'll see if it's poisoned or not.

Mom, how can you think that His Majesty...

I order you to put it on!

My prince?

Make your preparations, Taslicali.

We're going to the capital!

"It feels like everyone is asleep...

...and only two people are not''

As If nobody but the two of them...

...know the smell of roses.

We live in this dark world like blind people, but...

...their life is filled with the brightness of the sun.

Oh the ones who never tasted such love!

Love is always loneliness...

...pain and suffering for us.

They found each other, Adam and Eve...

...the earth and the seed.

They found themselves before the realms were created.

They met each other when they came to this world.

We, the desperate ones, who search for their beloved all eternity.

All we can do is envy them.

Suleyman?

Suleyman.

The sultan of my heart.

I knew you would forgive me.

I did not forgive you, Hurrem.

You can not stay here, any longer.

I am sending you to Bayezid.
