ROYAL KALFA | magnificent country au

episode 18

Hürrem POV

" Maria they will kill us , all of us." I told Maria as I stared at my feet .We were on the ottoman ship they were taking us to the ottoman hell ."Don't say that they will hear you ." Maria said with clear fear in her voice. Such a weakling .

"Maria is everything alright here ?" My eyes moved a little at the sudden gentle voice speaking to Maria . This must be the girl Maria mentioned to me .I thought ,Haden was her name.

————

A few days traveling passed and me ,Maria and Haden grew closer . More Maria and Haden than me and the girl. I've been going crazy,this has been going on for too long , I'm having nightmares .

———-
After a few more nights we arrived at the castle , I looked out the ships window to see fireworks , I swore I'd make them all regret the day they were born .
_______

My time here has been like a nightmare . But a Kalfa approached me , Nigar has been her name. She's telling me to seduce the sultan so I can become an empress. I'm thinking of doing it but I'm uneasy ... I don't want to betray Leo .

I was cleaning with the girls outside the palace when I heard a beautiful sound . What was that ? It sounded like a violin .

_________

We had to clean the harem from inch to inch and while we were going to clean ourselves the Kalfas and aghas suddenly panicked ." Get in a line !" They started yelling and putting us in a line , forcing us to bow .I figured out the sultan was coming so I had to act quick. I'm going to become an empress or die. .

————-

My mind was spinning. I actually fainted. I have never seen someone as beautiful as that man . I'm in love .
____________

I've been chosen to dance for the sultan , I'm very excited but also a little nervous too. Haden is dancing too and Maria . Although Maria isn't much of a threat , Haden is. I was sure that she's my only rival in the entire palace. I had to do something to stop her from stealing the sultan from me.
_________

Luck is once again with me . Haden isn't going to dance . But still I shouldn't feel too relived , I need to do something to make the sultan remember me. I know ! I will have my own dance
________
Tonight was the night I'm going tonight was the night I'm going to visit the sultan I was excited. I was confident I was ready. Nothing could mess up my night . Haden and Maria helped me prepare for tonight by making me even more pretty but I couldn't help but think about  just how much jealous  they must feel .
________
I went down the golden path , but just as I was about to enter the sultans chambers . Sumbul aga stopped me. In front of the chambers there start smug looking Gulsah. Mahidevran that witch.

______
that night I was angry I was pissed. I couldn't help but throw a tantrum when the girls were  making fun of me for returning so early. After the fight, the girls fell asleep. Just I didn't. I stared at my hands thinking about what happened at the chembers  I felt lost.  I think i took a piece too  large to bite. I should've known my place .Not too long after Haden came. I think she went to get some water for herself as I saw a cup in her hands she helped me clean the  mess from the feathers of the pillows. When the Kalfa came to wake us up, she was furious. She was yelling. She started to accuse Haden, that she made the mess ,that she's a troublemaker, but I couldn't let that happen  Haden didn't deserve , so I quickly pointed out the girls that did it and said that haden had no fault.
——————
I finally went to the sultan I was so nervous that I fainted but I managed to stay for three days and two nights. Mahidevran wanted to take a night from me so I took one from her too. But I'm pretty  sad  that the sultan had to leave and prioritize someone else. It was all Ibrahim's  fault. Who did he think he was?I was angry I was furious but then I saw the man, who's been giving me a headache . Pargali Ibrahim,was a very interesting man. He looked like a man of fire ,just like me.
______
From that day I started seeing the man more often. It was like he was my shadow, or it could be said I was his. I'd always  poke around and try to start a fight with him. I don't know why but I liked how it made me feel .It seems like I've overdone it again. Because I overheard that haden is going to go to the sultan .
________
" what?! She refused?!" I yelled out , eyes wide matching my mouth. I can't believe what Maria just told me .
I hope she gets thrown out .A smirk made it's way on my face .
________
"That witch!why am I so hated and she's fawn over !?" This was unreal .
______
This witch. She's having the whole palace dance for her. This was bad.
I had to think and do something that puts me over this rat. She's just a slave , she's no better than me.
_________
I did it I become a Muslim before that rat. But I still couldn't believe Suleiman  , he freed her and made her a royal Kalfa ! That's it I will get rid of the woman once for all.
