ASLIHAN SULTAN ✔️

9th Chapter

Bayezid was looking at me excepting my answer. I really didn't know what I should do in this moment. I wanted to listen to my heart, but my brain was telling me another thing.

- Bayezid, if you werent a prince, I would go with you on the other side of the world. - I told him. He was just looking at me in silence disappointedly.

- I would go with you in Kutahya if I wouldn't have to be in harem. I dont want to be anyone's concubine. You should understand me. - I told him and gave him a weak smile.

He was so silent for few minutes. He might have been shocked with my answer, but what should he have excepted? He thought I would accept to go to harem and to be a slave there?

- It's your decision. I can't force you into anything. - he said as he got up.
He started going towards the doors, when I stopped him. I came closer to him and took his hands in mine.

- Bayezid. I can't lie to you. I love you. I felt for you something I have never ever felt in my life. - I told him while I had his hands in mines. I looked at him deeply in eyes. I could see him staring at me so in love.

- Nadia. You are the only person I want in this world. I would chose you over million of others women. You are so special. - he said to me.

He came closer to me and putted his hands on my cheeks. He was looking at me directly in eyes. He went closer, trying to kiss me, but I turned my head on the other way.

- Bayezid, you shouldn't do that. I am sure you will find a woman who will give you enough love to forget about everything what happens. Maybe its not meant to be for us. I am a merchant's daughter, and you are a prince. Maybe if we met in another life, where we would been equally, maybe then something between us might be possible. - I told to him trying to act insensitive, but I was so emotional at that moment. I really wanted to kiss him, but that would make me fall for him even more. And those feeelings I had now were already too much.

- Its meant for us to be. You just dont want it. You could tell me like that, it would have been easier to me and you rather than you lying you love me. - he said really disappointedly. Why would he think I am lying to him?

- I am not the one who is lying. That was you. You lied to me about your identity. If you told me the first time that you were prince, I wouldn't allow myself to fall in love so hardly. - I told him and I couldn't hide my emotions.

- If you love me, why you dont want to go with me? - he asked me disappointedly in all my words.
- Because I dont want to be anyone's slave. I dont want to share you with another women who would give everything if you just looked at them for a second. Because I want to be somebody's who will be my only, and whose I would be only one. - I told him.

At that point, someone banged on the door so hard that they immediately opened. Inside, five janissaries came armed. With big swords, they came towards me. I was so scared in that moment.

Bayezid took out his sword. He stood in front of me to protect me from them. The soldiers obviously didn't recognize him because he was dressing up.

- Who are you and what are you doing here? - Bayezid asked them agressivley.
- Dont even try to fight with us, just give us Nadia. - main one of them told him. I could remember him from this morning. He was the one who killed my brothers.

- Go away. I wont give you her. - Bayezid said and threatened them with a sword.

At that point, they attacked him. He had to fight the five of them at the same time. He was attacked by the first one, but since Bayezid was great at fencing, he immediately knocked him down. He cutted other two with the same move. The next one was attacked from behind. And then he came close to the last one, that killed my brothers today.
