AUTHOR'S POV

Flash back

Murad was just at a council when he came back to his chambers to do some work. When he heard a knock he said

"Come in" Silahtar then came in bowing. "His majesty, Fatma Hatun, Esmanur Sultana and the Valide are here to see you" he said. "Let them in".



 "Let them in"

Esmanur came in running to her father and hugged him, Fatma bowed and Kösem Sultan just stood there smilling "Valide, Fatma" He said while hugging his daughter back and holding her "Hünkarim" Fatma said. "What brings you here" He asked "Esmanur wanted to see you and the Valide insisted on coming with us" Fatma said smilling.

"Oh is that so" He asked kissing his daughters cheek "yess, I missed you" Esmanur said loudly and they laughed
"Okay well Esmanur you saw your father, lets go back now, he surely has a lot of work to do, with your premission" Fatma said "Okay, but can he eat with us tonight" Esmanur asked and before Fatma could answer, The Sultan said "Of course , I will see you both tonight" that made both Fatma and her daughter smile. Fatma took her daughters hand and bowed before stepping outside.

"How are you my son?" Kösem Sultan asked him "Like always and you Validem?" He asked "Good, Good but some gifts arrived and I thought you'd like to see them" She said and he agreed to go.

They arrived and all he saw was gold, his Valide looked around smilling as he walked around looking at the gifts. He immediately stopped when he saw the half of a potrait covered up, as he uncovered the potrait he only stared at it. His Valide was of course confused by this action and went closer to him "What is wrong my lion" She asked but got no response from her son, he only stared at the potrait. When his Valide saw the potrait she only smiled.

"Do you like her" Valide asked "Who is she?" The Sultan replied with a question to avoid answering his Valide's question "I'm sure Silahtar knows" His Valide said  "Order him to come here" She said to her concubines and they bowed leaving the chamber.
