"Obviously, Sultan Mahidevran is here." "That woman is inside and I am left at the door!" "Slow down!" "Where are you going?" "To hell!" "Walk slowly like a lady or I will break your legs!" "Catch her!" "Throw her in the wing and lock the door." "Don't let her do something crazy." "Alex?" "Has something happened?" "Why are you here?" "Why is she back?" "I told you." "What could they want with her?" "She probably didn't even make it to the door." "Never mind, it must have deflated her head." "His Majesty probably told them to get rid of her when he saw her face." "Be quiet and go to sleep!" "Or I will cut your tongues out." "I miss you so much." "I feel like my heart will burst in my chest." "Here." "Feel it beat." "I become a small, inexperienced, little girl when I am not with you." "I can't control my mind and my heart." "Mustafa misses you so much." "I tell him that his father is working hard."

"Did I not give you one of the four seals of highest authority?" "You did." "Why are you not using your authority?" "How is it that a guest can enter the chamber without our knowledge?" "Your Majesty, Alexandra was to" "That's not what happened, İbrahim!" "I turned around and found Mahidevran waiting for me." "Nobody can impose upon me." "It shall not happen again." "If anyone tries to do so, I will hold you responsible, İbrahim." "You may retire." "Your eyes are shining like they used to, Mahidevran." "Thanks to you, my valide." "You showed me the way." "I never want to see you weary and sad again." "Grand Vizier Piri Mehmet Pasha requests an audience." "Show him in." "What is it, my teacher?" "Your Majesty, the news from Syria is bad." "The governor, Canberdi Gazali, has begun a rebellion." "He has allied himself with the Mameluke and Arab lords." "The rebels will be given the appropriate response." "Summon the council immediately." "Your Majesty." "Shall we present the report on the Syrian matter to the council?" "Well done, bring it." "Have you no shame?" "Get up!" "Get up!" "How could you do this?" "Are you cats and dogs?" "Hurry up!" "Clean this room up now!" "You did it, didn't you?" "Get up!" "No." "Her, her and her." "They did it." "That's a lie." "You started it."

"Daye I haven't received an answer from the chief soothsayer." "Have Sümbül Agha go and ask why it's late." "Did you ask about His Majesty's future?" "My son, my lion." "Come in." "I have been waiting for you." "Let's speak in private, Mother." "Daye, leave me with my son." "You are my mother my one and only." "But don't interfere with my life and my choices." "I won't allow it." "Why are you angry?" "What has this got to do with me?" "What do I do but pray for your health and victories?" "You know very well what I am speaking of." "Whomever tries to control me will get what they deserve many times over, Mother." "Summon Mahidevran immediately." "What is a school, Mother?" "I'm not going!" "I'm going to play!" "You will go, Mustafa." "Be quiet." "I will not be quiet!" "I'm going to my father!" "Mustafa, come back here!" "Mustafa!" "Catch him!" "The valide sultan wishes to see you." "My viziers we prepared the reports you are holding when I was still prince in Manisa." "I was unable to present them to my deceased father, Sultan Selim Khan." "Tell them, İbrahim." ""Canberdi Gazali the governor of Damascus, is an untrustworthy freed slave." "He has allied with the Mameluke and Arab lords and Druses who left Egypt."" "Are we to listen to Pargalı's opinions on statecraft?" ""Canberdi Gazali is a traitor." "He has spoken with the knights of Rhodes, despite bowing to Sultan Selim Khan bargained with them and received gold and weapons." "He has collaborated with the enemy."" "Your Majesty." "You saw the future like a seer back in the day." "The traitor, Canberdi Gazali has now allied himself with Shah İsmail from Iran and he has captured Aleppo and Beirut through treachery."

"I command you to release me!" "I am going to see my father!" "Prince Mustafa, what is it that you require?" "İbrahim, take me to my father." "I don't want to go to school." "His Majesty is in an important meeting." "You cannot see him." "But you can look through that window." "Come on." "I didn't do anything, my valide." "I didn't say that you sent me to the main chamber." "Of course you didn't tell him." "What did you say to him?" "His anger was alight in his eyes." "I didn't say anything." "I just said that Mustafa misses him." "I know he's working a lot." "It's not like it used to be." "That's it." "Understand this." "Nothing will be as it was before." "He is padishah of the realm." "Only in your dreams will you see your relationship in the Manisa Palace again." "Do you know how many rivals you have here?" "You have to be smart." "Alexandra, I'm speaking to you." "Clean here too." "Süleyman, I will take my revenge for what you have done." "Be quiet." "They'll hear you." "Don't be angry with the sultan." "That sultan will be my slave." "Ferhat Pasha, ready your soldiers and set out." "Gather support from the provinces of Karaman and Dulkadır." "Take as many of the royal guard as you need." "Your Majesty, we will begin today." "If I don't present you Canberdi Gazali's head then I will give you my own." "I know you'd do it too, pasha." "May your path be clear and your sword sharp." "Your Majesty, there is another matter I wish to discuss." "Tell me, Ahmet Pasha." "We have a problem with the Hungarian king, Louis." "He hasn't paid his taxes in months." "If you wish, I can" "Pasha!" "Do you want a campaign to Hungary?" "Shall we wage war against them too?" "Your Majesty, perhaps we should send an envoy with a letter commanding them to pay the gold." "For the good of the relationship." "So you advise diplomacy, Piri Pasha?" "This is how it was done in Rome." "They revered diplomacy." "Negotiation first." "Let's speak politely." "Then we can draw our swords and destroy them." "I'll prepare the letter and give it to Sergeant Behram." "I think he should go as our envoy." "Good, Sergeant Behram will go."

"Six hundred Egyptian families have been set free." "The commander of the fleet whose corruption came to light, was executed."" "A rebellion has begun in Ottoman lands, in Syria." "The governor has declared independence and allied himself with the Arabs." "The Arabs are in open revolt." "This is good news." "The Ottoman sultan will be occupied with the rebellions in the East for a long time." "He won't have time to turn his gaze west to us." "Support the rebels." "The East must be in turmoil." "Look, this is the letter Aleph." "One line, all right?" "This is Be." "This one has one dot under it." "This is Te." "This one has two dots over it." "And this one is Se." "This one has three dots over it." "Listen to your teacher and learn." "Don't give up on the lessons, tutor." "The prince must be taught well." "I will not learn." "Let's go to the garden and play with swords." "We will play, but first write as I've shown you." "I am eventually going to become the padishah." "Why do I need to read and write?" "That is exactly why you must learn." "You must read and know more than anyone so you don't make mistakes." "Knowledge prevents mistakes, Mustafa." "Father!" "Save me!" "My son!" "What happened?" "Is the lesson with İbrahim finished?" "He says he is to be the padishah and asks why he needs lessons." "Prince Mustafa." "Maybe you won't become the padishah." "Look to your lessons." "I will be the padishah too!" "Guards!" "Take this prince away and punish him!" "Take his head." "You are to take this letter to King Louis in Belgrade." "Gather your envoy and set out, Sergeant Behram." "I will fly there, Piri Pasha." "I am grateful for the honourable duty you have given me." "Off you go." "May Allah watch over you, Sergeant Behram." "You are dead!" "So are you!" "Mustafa!" "Stop killing my guards!" "Who will protect me then?" "I will!" "I will protect you!" "He's a real lion cub." "Look how he grips the sword." "You taught him." "He first held a sword with you." "Send Mustafa to his mother." "I am going to rest a bit." "He's played enough." "Your Majesty." "By your leave, I'll inform Sümbül Agha about your guest for tonight." "That is acceptable, Pargalı." "I'm dead." "I'm dead too, thanks to you." "We are all hungry." "I thought the girl had gone insane!" "We returned from the golden way." "Something is going on." "Don't be silly, what could it be?" "Mahidevran is the haseki sultan." "My agha, the concierge wishes to see you." "That's what I was afraid of." "He's calling me to tell me off." "You are in trouble, Sümbül!" "You are in deep trouble." "Nigar kalfa, is there still work at this hour?" "Isn't the cleaning finished?" "Does the cleaning of bird feathers ever end, Daye hatun?" "One gust of wind and it's pouring down from the sky." "Is their punishment over?" "Will you allow them to have dinner?" "No, they will sleep hungry." "His Majesty wants Alexandra again." "Nigar kalfa, attend to this matter." "Nothing must go wrong." "His woman came on purpose, I'm sure of it." "She summoned me to her room to see me." "She looked at me and she was afraid that I would steal her husband." "Yes." "I will." "I will take him, Maria." "Don't be crazy, Alex." "She is the sultan's wife." "That woman is a queen." "A queen who has given him a son." "I can do it too." "I can give birth to a son." "Stand up." "It is clean, isn't it?" "Go straight to the hamam and wash up." "You will attend His Majesty this evening." "Don't waste time with ablution." "You'll be sent back." "Why would the sultan look at you when he has Mahidevran?" "Be polite and respectful this evening." "Make His Majesty happy." "There are many girls who would kill to be where you are now." "Think of it as one night." "Don't get caught up in dreams." "If you make His Majesty happy, he will shower you with gifts." "Another point Sultan Mahidevran is his only woman." "Every Thursday he lies with her." "Why Thursday?" "It is tradition." "The night connecting Thursday and Friday is a holy night." "And if you were to become pregnant on that night, a blessed child will be born." "What day is it today?" "Wednesday." "Is Gülfem hatun counted among the royal family?" "She is His Majesty's first woman." "She's even given birth to a prince but was unlucky and lost the child." "She took refuge here." "She just wanders around." "Gülfem." "Come sit with me." "Yes, my valide sultan?" "Tell the girls to play the song I like." "Go on." "How happy you must be." "Your family is all around you." "I wish my lion, Süleyman, was also here." "Let's send word for him to come too." "He will be in the private chamber tonight." "He has summoned Alexandra." "Listen." "When you enter the room, you will curtsy." "You will kiss the sultan's skirt." "You must on no account look in his eyes." "Speaking loudly and laughing is" "Forbidden, I know." "Don't be afraid." "Calm down." "Alexandra." "Alexandra." "Alexandra, open your eyes." "Süleyman." "I will summon the physician." "Don't go!" "Don't leave me." "Forgive me." "I was excited and waited for so long." "Alexandra." "Alexandra, your slave, your concubine." "The violin is beautiful." "İbrahim is playing." "Yes, it is beautiful." "Who is İbrahim?" "Sultan Hatice?" "Gülfem, it's only you." "Listen, İbrahim is playing." "But you are not listening, you are looking." "You seem to like it a lot." "Don't say that, Gülfem." "There is nothing like music." "Don't you have something to do?" "Gülfem, won't you leave me in peace?" "Come on, let's go inside." "İbrahim is my chief falconer." "My friend on the hunt." "My friend on the road." "He has been my comrade and confidant for seven years." "During my happiness, my pride for my child during my son Mustafa's first steps, he was by my side." "I want it too." "I want to be your everything." "A friend." "A lover." "A comrade." "You are jealous of İbrahim." "Yes." "Alexandra." "May your morning be full of mules." "Did I say something rude?" "Do you know what you just said?" "You wished me a morning full of donkeys." "I am dead." "Yes, you are dead!" "Come on." "Heap it on!" "Cream, walnuts, honey...." "The quail eggs are missing." "Where are the quail eggs?" "They are cooking on the stove!" "There are 20 in the pan." "Not enough?" "It must be more than enough." "Tell me, Sümbül Pasha, who is the lucky one?" "What's it to you, Şeker Agha?" "Get back to work." "Come on." "Hurry up." "Aren't the eggs cooked yet?" "Don't you dare burn them." "Are there 20 here?" "Hasn't your friend returned yet?" "She is with the sultan." "How do you know?" "Maybe she was disrespectful." "Maybe she lost her head." "Don't say that." "God forbid." "Girls!" "Stop working your mouths and work your hands." "Make your beds, you are going to class." "Will Alexandra be coming to class, Nigar kalfa?" "Shut up and get to work." "Mahidevran." "Yes, my valide?" "Why don't you eat something?" "You neither eat nor speak." "Are you ill?" "Shall we call the physician?" "Thank you, my valide." "What can a physician do for me?" "My" "Tonight is Thursday night." "Is this how you want to greet His Majesty?" "Compose yourself." "Come on." "I haven't laughed like that for a long time." "Do you like it?" "I made that ring." "It's beautiful." "Which woman will it be given to?" "Where did you come from?" "Where from?" "I came to you from the sea." "I am yours." "These eyes." "These lips." "This heart." "Yours." "Gülşah, where have you been?" "I need to prepare for tonight, have you forgotten?" "I need to be beautiful." "Don't go anywhere." "What is it?" "Tell me what's happened." "My lady, I heard that...."
