A SULTANA'S LIFE| MAGNIFICENT CENTURY| ✔️

CHAPTER 11

"Do you really have to go on this campaign?" I asked sadly as I rubbed Ahmed's shoulders as he sat on his which also serves as a throne.

"Of course, as the sultan, it's my duty to make out lands bigger and stronger," he said chuckling.

"But I'll miss you" I whined almost like a small baby. He shook his head before placing his hand over mine making me stop rubbing his shoulders before he pulled me forward and on his lap, I squealed at the fast movement.

I looked up at him while I sat on his lap, I couldn't help the fast pounding of my heart in my chest. I took Ahmed's hand in mine and placed it over my heart making him raise an eyebrow as he felt my beating heart.

" this heart beats only for you my sultan" I whispered almost seductively but we both knew the true meaning of those words, it was love.

"And so does my heart," Ahmed said smashing his lips into mine making me gasp at the rough contact but melted into his lips in no time.

"I miss him already," I said bouncing Othman up and down. Mehmed and Othman grew over the months and now they barely could be recognized as the babies they were.

Suddenly the doors to my room were slammed open to show Hagi agha standing there panting.

"Come on we have to move, Safiye sultan's men are attacking the castle, they want to kill the princes and ascend Mustafa on the throne," he said panting. I handed Othman to Karla and ran over to bring my cloak placing it hurriedly over my shoulders before taking Othman back as I made sure Mehmed was with Emily as we all ran out of the room only then heating the sounds of clashing swords.

I knew just where to take them, there was this small girl I met when I went with Ahmed to the Tkeye and she was a poor girl who lived with only her mother.

"Go to Handan sultan's wing, I'll be right over" I ordered them before running over to Kosem's room. I pushed the doors open to see her holding her daughter in fear.

"Come on let's go" I ordered making her run over and we ran out of her room and to Mahiverouz's room.

We found her holding her daughter with a man in front of her holding a knife at her. I took an iron bar from beside the fireplace and hit him with it at the back of the head.

"Come on," I said motioning for her to move, she walked over and stopped in front of me to look at us before gasping. I looked behind her to see the man up again with his hand on his knife that was now pushed in Mahiverouz's back. She handed me her daughter just as she fell to the floor making Kosem scream.

Just then the guy fell before he could come near us showing Zulfekar agha standing behind him.

"Come on sultanas," he said ushering us out, we ran over to the secret door Kosem knew to find Handan sultan there, Kosem opened the door and we ran into one of the rooms there leaving Zulfekar agha our alone to see what was going on.

"My poor Ayşe" Handan sultan said taking the girl from me when she heard what had happened to her mother, the poor girl became orphaned very young.

I looked at Othman and Mehmed and found them sound asleep in Malin and Kalra's arms not knowing what was going on around them.

"It's very bad outside, we have to go, do you have any place in mind," Zulfikar agha said. I nodded and started walking in further until we reached the secret door where a carriage was waiting for us being ordered by Zulfikar to come here and get us.

As the carriage moved I couldn't help but hold my breath as we drove out of the castle, my heart stopped when we were stopped and the sound of hitting filed the air.

The doors opened to show prince Mehmed panting with Dilruba sultan beside him and prince Mustafa, they immediately climbed in and sat down with the rest of us being squashed here.

"Let's go," Mehmed said and rode his horse in front of us until we reached the house and got in.

"Let's sleep and wait until tomorrow. " I said helping Handan sultan into the makeshift bed. I sat on guard as everyone slept including the children. I have no idea how but I must've fallen asleep for a while because when I woke up again Dilruba and Mustafa were nowhere to be found. I immediately jumped up and ran outside in search of them only to be met with Safiye's men.

"Jawhara sultan you're coming with us," one of them said and started pulling me away, I didn't fight them knowing it was no use.

May Allah protect my princes and don't let any harm get to them, I beg you my Allah protect my angels and my Ahmed and don't make them follow me anytime soon to you, they are mere children while Ahmed has a whole life to live ahead of him and four children to look after.
