"Where did you learn sayings about bears?" "Sütlüm Agha." "Sümbül Agha!" "Don't let him hear you call him Sütlüm." "So a hungry bear wants to dance, does it, Sultan Hürrem?" "You are making fun of me." "I am not a Sultan." "But you are." "You are the Sultan of my heart." "Am I a queen then?" "Slow down, not yet." "Come here." "Eat some of this." "Such beauty!" "What a beautiful face, what a wonderful smell." "My mind is filled with the scent of your hair." "Muhibbi has suddenly fallen in love." "Such wonderful love and pain." "Such humour." "It is beautiful." "What is it?" "A poem." "It is called a poem." "One of Muhibbi's poems." "Who is Muhibbi?" "I don't know." "Who is he?" "Too many questions spoil a poem." "Hungary, Buda Palace" "Europe is ruled by the dynasties." "This system has continued for centuries." "Even if the family of the West wars among itself, in the end, the kingdoms continue through marriages." "While the Tudor, Habsburg and Valois dynasties have united how do the Ottomans dare to try to become part of this family?" "How can we have a Muslim dynasty?"

"I miss you already, read poems to me." "I have to go." "Matters of state do not wait." "Wait, don't go." "You are the Padishah, you can do what you like." "You are like a child." "Mustafa does the same thing." "He asks me to stay and play." "You are a naughty girl." "Prepare for this evening." "This evening is ages away!" "Think of me and it will pass quickly." "Kneel." "I know before whom I must kneel." "What news have you brought me?" "In accordance with His Excellency Sultan Süleyman's commands," "Louis II, the King of Hungary, is to immediately pay his debts to the Ottoman Empire and is to remain true to the agreements made between the two nations." "Otherwise, double the amount will be..." "What will he do?" "If Sultan Süleyman Khan decides to take what is his, he does so." "His Sultanate does not exist in this palace." "Sultan Süleyman Khan is not only the Sultan of the Ottomans but the Sultan of the whole world." "Where are we going, Gülşah?" "First to the Valide Sultan, then to class." "Class again?" "We never play, we always go to class." "Let's go back to Manisa, Mother." "There is nothing but classes in this palace." "Mustafa let's stop arguing about this." "It's the same argument every morning." "Don't object." "Are you all right, child?" "I am not a child, I am Prince Mustafa." "Let me go, I am going to my father." "No, it is forbidden to go alone." "It's not as if I can say anything or complain to the Valide Sultan." "You saw what he did." "He ignored her and freed that Russian concubine." "Hürrem." "A curse on her name!" "Is your name Hürrem?" "Yes, Hürrem." "Sultan Süleyman gave me my name." "My father?" "You know him?" "I know him well." "Come on, let's go." "Mustafa, come here!" "Get away from that woman!" "What are you doing?" "Let go of my son!" "He fell and I helped him up." "This ring is mine!" "How dare you wear it!" "Give it to me!" "You thief!" "The Sultan gave it to me!" "You can't have it." "You will give it to me!" "Give it to me!" "My Sultan, don't!" "You will give it to me!" "My Sultan, don't!" "Thief!" "You have stolen everything from me!" "Please don't!" "Thief!" "Help me!" "Run!" "Hurry up!" "Summon the physician." "İbrahim, what do the merchants think of our decisions?" "What do they expect from me?" "Your Majesty, there is great faith on the street." "They expect new campaigns." "The bazaar is active, the merchants are happy." "Only, we cannot compete with the prices of the Venetian goods." "We sell one and earn five while they earn 20." "They say it will be fair if the taxes are lowered for subjects and raised for foreigners." "That will be done soon." "Piri Pasha?" "Your Majesty, I personally conveyed your command to the Venetian ambassador." "I'm sure we will hear him whining soon." "Your Majesty." "Good news has arrived." "Ferhat Pasha has taken the traitor Canberdi Gazali's head in Damascus." "The rebellion has been crushed." "Victory is ours." "Peace and order have been established." "Our glorious army awaits your command to return." "Good." "The Governor of Anatolia, Ayas Pasha is now the Governor of Damascus." "This is my command." "Ferhat Pasha is to return." "Make ready, we have new campaigns coming." "As of now, our target is Rhodes." "Send the envoys to the palace of Emperor Charles V and the Vatican, Andre." "Inform them of the answer we gave the Ottomans." "All of Europe must hear what happens when someone demands tribute from my kingdom and the consequences that arise." "Unlock the treasury to strengthen the fleet, Piri Pasha." "Your Majesty, would you suffer me to make a suggestion?" "We should plan the Hungarian campaign while preparing for Rhodes." "We cannot know what Louis will do." "The use of the Danube to support our campaign over land..." "Have you ever seen the Danube, Concierge?" "Have you thought of how our galleys would navigate the river?" "You are dreaming." "My Pasha, we can construct a narrow fleet to navigate the river." "We can do it just as Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror did it." "A narrow fleet?" "A narrow fleet from İbrahim with the narrow soul." "The Hungarian King will do whatever we tell him to do." "It won't be a problem." "Narrow, long fast, small crafts." "Piri Pasha, have them work on this in the shipyards." "The first step is to dream, Ahmet Pasha." "You must dream of it." "You must believe in it so you have the conviction to do it." "I dream of such unbelievable cannons." "Large, strong cannons that have long ranges and are even dismountable." "I will inform the Shipyard Command of your orders." "I would have my tutor in Manisa Palace, Kasım Pasha as a Vizier on my Council." "We need his council and his wisdom as we tackle these matters." "Your Majesty, I beg forgiveness if I have given offence." "Not at all, Ahmet Pasha." "As if you would oppose your Padishah." "It would not happen." "It could not happen." "Piri Pasha, ensure that my tutor, Kasım Pasha, arrives here safely." "You keep dreaming, Pargalı." "Never give up." "Tell me what has happened." "Why is she like this?" "My Lady, we were walking down the golden road with the Prince." "We came across that Russian concubine." "And she fainted." "Did they talk?" "Yes." "But I didn't hear anything." "You are lying, what did they say?" "Thank Allah, the physician has arrived." "Where have you been, Daye?" "And you, Chief Physician?" "If we had been dying you would have been late." "She was in an operation." "It's very bad." "I wonder what ails her." "The fool is infected with the Hürrem sickness." "Hürrem!" "Come!" "Come." "What happened?" "What's all the commotion?" "What did you do?" "I didn't do anything." "She saw this, look." "Sultan Süleyman gave it to me." "She suddenly fainted." "The emerald ring." "The ring His Majesty made himself." "Diamonds and rubies..." "It is so big!" "Can you let me put it on once?" "It's mine." "I cannot give it to you, it's forbidden." "Tell me Chief Physician, what's wrong?" "Valide Sultan, Mashalla , she is all right." "Do not be concerned." "You should be the first to hear." "Sultan Mahidevran is with child." "Daye, let's celebrate the good news." "Have sharbat and lokma distributed throughout the harem." "Of course, my Sultan." "I will have it prepared." "Thank Allah!" "Hatice, throw gold in the yard." "The baby must arrive with blessings." "I will do it." "Perhaps some of the blessing will rub off on me." "Congratulations." "Now rest." "Bring Mustafa." "He should see for himself that his mother is well." "Please forgive my tears, my Valide." "Don't hold me!" "I want to swing." "I cannot, my Prince." "That is enough swinging, I can't keep this up!" "Allah!" "I command you!" "Raise me higher." "That would be dangerous." "We should stop this." "Then take me to my father." "Don't force me my Prince, it is time to work!" "I cannot!" "Şeker Agha, don't make me angry!" "What do you mean you can't make lokma?" "I know the Valide Sultan has commanded it but I cannot." "I have fresh baklava ready, as much as you want." "It would take until the evening to prepare lokma ." "We can hand it out then." "Then stop speaking and start putting yeast in the dough." "You will distribute it before day's end." "Start on the dough immediately." "Sümbül Agha, where have you been?" "I had to deal with this!" "Prince Mustafa wouldn't let me go." "I was entertaining a child." "I handed him over to Gülşah and came." "What has happened?" "A new prince is on the way, Sümbül Agha." "We're to distribute lokma and sharbat." "Whose prince is it?" "Hürrem's?" "Sümbül Agha." "How could it be Hürrem?" "Sultan Mahidevran the Haseki is with child." "We will be having many princes this year, Daye Hatun." "Be prepared, you have been warned." "Don't warn me Sümbül." "Do not even think of it." "They are handing out sharbat downstairs." "Let's go downstairs." "Let's go." "Hürrem." "Enjoy, Hürrem." "Drink up." "Cool yourself down." "Good!" "This is sharbat for a prince." "Mustafa's sharbat?" "Mahidevran, His Majesty's Haseki is with child." "Do you understand?" "My Valide." "What is it?" "You honour me." "I'm listening." "I haven't seen you for days, my lion." "When you didn't come to the harem" "I had to come to give the good news to my Süleyman." "So you have heard, Mother." "We received good news from Ferhat Pasha." "He has taken" "Canberdi Gazali's head in Syria." "Allah bless him, well done to the Pasha." "My news is different." "Mahidevran is with child." "We shall have another auspicious prince, Inshallah ." "Mother." "I'm so happy to receive the news from you." "İbrahim!" "What a great day it is today." "Happiness upon happiness." "Have fireworks light the sky, let's share our joy." "Come, Mother." "Let's pick out some jewels." "I will give them to Mahidevran." "May Allah bless the child, Your Majesty." "Amen, Inshallah ." "Inshallah ." "I hope it dies." "Don't say that." "It's a sin." "What's it to you?" "It's my sin." "Drink up." "Quench your fire." "You are burnt to a cinder." "Your fire is going up the palace chimney." "I will kill you!" "I will have you exiled!" "Hürrem don't do anything." "You'll be punished." "There will be no punishment." "She will die." "Hürrem!" "Let go!" "Let go!" "Ayşe let go!" "The Kalfas will come." "My Mustafa." "It's passed, Mustafa." "Don't worry, I'm all right." "Mustafa?" "Shall we go and scatter gold?" "Why do we scatter our gold?" "To bring good luck." "It's tradition." "Come on, let's go." "Go on, my Mustafa." "I am fine." "Don't upset your aunt." "My son." "By your leave, Your Majesty." "We have work to do with Mustafa." "Is that so?" "I will return after scattering gold." "Stay a while, Father." "Promise me." "I will, I promise." "This is the word of Sultan Süleyman." "Mahidevran." "You are looking great." "I am well, Your Majesty." "You have made me happy." "Why?" "Why did you do it?" "Why did you give her my ring?" "That is how I wanted it." "That is what I saw fit to do." "Overseer Nigar, what a disgrace!" "Is this what you taught them?" "Is this what they have learned from you?" "I was shocked, standing between them." "They wouldn't stop." "Sümbül Agha is not around They were completely unchecked." "Don't give me excuses, Overseer." "You are also at fault." "Both of you, to your chambers." "Girls, come on!" "They are scattering gold." "Hürrem." "You are a favourite concubine, this does not befit you." "If it becomes known it'll be bad." "Now shut up and get lost." "Good luck." "I pray Allah blesses the baby with happiness." "Inshallah Gülfem." "I hope the child never knows sorrow." "I hope the child respects and loves Mustafa." "I don't want a brother or sister." "Look Mustafa, we are throwing the gold for your future sibling." "Don't throw them!" "I'm not going to have a sibling." "Give me my gold!" "Don't throw it away." "Gülşah, why did we come to this palace?" "Look at us." "My love has become the Padishah but I have lost him." "Help me." "Are you angry Mustafa?" "Then why are you not speaking to me?" "Stop those fireworks." "I don't want to hear them." "I don't want a sibling." "Don't say that." "Is there anything more beautiful than having a sibling?" "You don't have one." "I could not have one too." "That's not so." "Look, I have İbrahim." "He is my brother." "That's a lie, İbrahim is not your brother." "He is your subject." "By your leave, Your Majesty." "If you require anything, your subject will be waiting outside." "I am İbrahim." "Always a stranger wherever I go." "Exiled from heaven in every land I lay my head by every prophet of every religion I dream of." "İbrahim, who burns in his own hell, who is denied peaceful sleep." "Hürrem, what's all this preparation?" "The Sultan is waiting for me." "He won't wait, Hürrem." "Especially tonight, he won't wait." "Be quiet, Ayşe." "Be quiet." "Mustafa is still a child, Pargalı." "You and I both know the truth." "The rest is meaningless words spoken in ignorance." "You are closer to me than a brother." "Do not concern yourself, Your Majesty." "Mustafa, my dear son." "Shall we have some honey milk before we sleep, my Sultan?" "I'm not sleepy." "We can have some fruit later." "Will you always watch him from afar?" "What did you say?" "I didn't hear you." "I'm talking about Concierge İbrahim." "I saw it." "He harbours feelings for you too." "But this is not the way." "What are we to do?" "These are the rules of the court." "My Sultan, as if love has rules!" "Where are you going?" "You cannot enter here without telling us." "Go back at once." "The Sultan is waiting." "You will go when I tell you to go and come when I tell you to come." "Do you understand, Hürrem Hatun?" "Now go." "Who are you?" "Sultan Süleyman is waiting for me." "Hürrem, come..." "If the Concierge says no there must be a reason." "No, I'm not coming." "Nigar Kalfa." "Take this fool away now." "Hürrem, come." "His Majesty is busy with his harem." "Go away immediately." "Mustafa is hurt." "He is going on about not wanting a sibling." "His problem is not me, it's you." "He doesn't want to share his father's love." "My Mustafa is just like me." "Mother and son, we do not know how to share." "Look, be careful about what happened today." "You are a favourite." "Behave like one." "They will try to draw you into a fight." "They will want you to make a mistake." "Don't tangle with them." "And change your crazy attitude." "Don't fight everyone." "You even argued with İbrahim." "He is not like the others." "It will end badly for you." "Get on well with him." "Listen to whatever he says." "Don't bother Mahidevran either." "Whomever gives birth to a prince wins." "That's the rule." "Don't go to war against a thousand years of tradition." "You are telling me to be stupid." "Yes, would it kill you to act that way?" "Yes, it would." "Look, go to your room quietly." "If anyone says anything don't answer and go to bed." "Tomorrow is another day." "Sweet dreams, Sultan Hatice." "I will not speak of my grief to anyone." "I will not share it." "I will scream my troubles to deep wells." "I will pour them into the sea." "The waves will take them away." "I will answer everything that hurts me with laughter." "I will shed my tears only for my family." "I am Alexandra La Rossa." "I will transform this slave girl into a lady and fight my fate." "I will become Sultan Hürrem." "Good morning." "Have you swallowed your tongues?" "Hürrem, come." "Never mind, eat up." "Forget them." "They have taken the gold and sold me out." "I have sent word to the shipyard." "They are beginning work on the narrow fleet." "Let's see what they produce." "At some point I will go and see." "The foundry has sent word that they are ready." "Let's cross by boat tonight." "And see the foundry." "Let's not go during the day." "Everyone will know." "The preparations must continue in secret, Pargalı." "Then we should go in disguise, Your Majesty." "We should go out in disguise during the day and go around the bazaar." "How do we disguise the guards in daylight?" "That is your problem." "I want to walk among my people." "Make way!" "My lion cub has come!" "How are you Hatice?" "We are well." "Mustafa wanted to see you." "He was praised by his teacher today." "Well done." "What are these, Father?" "Can I have those stones?" "Not these stones, son." "We're playing mangala ." "Play with me then." "I will learn fast." "All right, then." "Sit here." "Here you go." "But you can't leave when you start to lose." "Here we go." "Now you place four stones in every hole in front of you." "Alexandra!" "Who is the teacher of this Russian concubine?" "She is to be taught some respect and manners." "Now look, you have six holes in front of you." "Take the stones..." "For many nights" "I have missed the beautiful sound of your violin." "Take the stones." "Even out the ones with less with the ones that have too many." "You need but ask for it, my Sultan." "There are two large holes on either side." "Do you know what they are for?" "These are bases." "I understand." "This is my tent." "Yes, well done." "Lay the stones." "Place them on your side." "I have taken one stone from here." "Now tell me which hand it's in." "Wrong, it's in this hand." "So I start." "Love." "How rude can she be?" "She barely even squeezed out a greeting." "I will not rest while she has that ring." "So that emerald ring is on Hürrem's finger." "You didn't hear it from me." "But there may be a fight at any moment." "She is to maintain her composure if she is a Haseki Sultan." "I won't allow them to rile up the palace with such matters, Daye." "Make the appropriate warnings." "I cannot be involved." "Trust me, my Sultan." "I want what was stolen from me." "Stars fall on my dark nights, my Sultan." "Your light rivals that of the sun." "The moon flees in embarrassment." "Your subject İbrahim has been blinded by the light." "He will never be cured, my Sultan." "Ayşe Hatun, come." "Have you decided to become a scholar?" "Class is over." "There is a lot for me to learn." "I must have lots to tell the Sultan." "My mind must be full." "He is the only one who listens to me and laughs with me." "The girls dislike me." "Of course they dislike you." "You haven't tried to get along with them." "Always fighting." "This can't go on, Hürrem." "The Valide Sultan will kick you out." "They will bundle you off to an old Agha and you will have to leave." "Help me?" "I can't save you." "Sümbül..." "Secure Sümbül Agha's support." "He knows all the secrets of the harem." "Go and apologise to him." "A few gifts, a tip..." "A tip?" "A tip." "A tip?" "Do you understand what you are to do?" "I understand, but how do I...?" "Use your head." "You will be well compensated for this service." "Don't forget." "You know nothing, you have seen and heard nothing." "Or you will burn." "Now go." "All right." "Ayşe!" "What are you doing there?" "Nothing, I am going to my chamber." "Hurry up and go then."
