The events and characters in this show have been fictionalized based on history.

Hatice, Hurrem. Welcome.

What are you talking about? How are you going to take Hurrem's life?

As long as you want it, I'll find a way.

Don't meddle in things that are none of your concern.

I don't want it.

Understand?

-My sultan... -Enough! Shut up!

My pain is enough for me, anyway.

Don't get me into more trouble.

I hope it's good news, Inshallah.

Very good news, Your Majesty.

I wanted to tell the good news myself.

I am with child again. A prince is on his way.

My dear Hurrem, you made me happy. May God make you happy too.

Alexandra...

Leo, do you want to die, son?

Your Majesty, please accept my congratulations.

Thank you, Ibrahim. May Allah grant you and Hatice good children, Inshallah.

-And to us, may he grant a son. -Inshallah, Hurrem.

Daye, keep your eyes on Mahidevran.

She must be devastated. Don't let her do something drastic.

Don't worry, my sultan. I'll take care of it.

My sultan.

Forgive me. I want to tell you something.

Is something wrong? What happened? Tell me.

My sultan, I am so upset.

You are the great sultan.

It's so hard to give up serving you.

I am grateful to you.

Don't get upset, Sadika. I am happy with you too.

I am very pleased with your respect and care.

But I am happy about you going with Sultan Hatice too.

I won't be worrying. I am sure that you will serve my Hatice well too.

Your Majesty, should they wait for the painting?

They shouldn't. Tell them to come later.

Who are they?

Ibrahim met a talented painter. He wants to him to paint a portrait of me.

He said he will have the painting hung in his palace.

How nice.

Maybe he will paint a portrait of both of us. No?

Let's see how well he will paint my portrait. Let's see that first.

His Majesty is busy with his harem. You'll come some other day.

-What happened to you? You look pale. -Well...

...I worked too much last night. I didn't sleep.

Well, then. You can go and rest. Come on, Matrakci.

Gather your things.

Who are these women?

They came the other day. One is Sultan Hatice...

...sister of His Majesty and our Ibrahim Pasha's intended wife.

-The other one is Sultan Hurrem. -Hurrem?

She is from your homeland. She came from Crimea. The daughter of a priest.

Now she is the wife of the great Sultan Suleyman.

Gave him two children.

The third is on the way.

How far she has come.

The nights don't seem to end. I can't sleep.

Quiet. They will hear.

We'll be together soon. Our wedding will be magnificent, my sultan.

The day you've been waiting for has come, my sultan.

The day you've been dreaming of.

Look at all the things they are doing for you.

The whole city is celebrating.

My lion cub, do you want to come too?

Yes, Father. I am very bored of being around the women.

Don't you ever say this near them.

It's evening, the celebrations has started. Ibrahim promised to take me too.

Okay, Mustafa. I have a little work left. Let me finish it, then we will go.

This meeting is like a gift to me.

I wasn't expecting to see you.

I couldn't have gone without seeing you one last time and kissing your hands.

I will be leaving this palace shortly.

But this parting will be our last farewell.

I will watch our wedding from afar.

I will look at you from afar.

You won't be able to see me.

But, please, feel that...

-...I will always be right beside you. -And you should know that...

...I won't breathe until the night we sleep on the same bed.

Listen to my heart. Hear its voice.

It's beating for me.

It's saying...

..."Happiness is right here."

"It's so close now."

I have to go my sultan.

The pashas are waiting for me in the first yard.

Farewell...

My love...

My soul.

Farewell, my love.

Pasha, good luck to you.

May you always be happy.

May Allah bless you, Nigar Kalfa.

What a talent.

Welcome.

-Thank you, Nasuh Effendi. -Thank you.

I thank God for letting me see this fortunate day.

I wish the same for the unmarried.

What? Don't look at me like that. I'm okay like this.

Really, I was saying the same thing.

But then I fell to the flames of a beauty with eyes like the sea.

-Long live our padishah! -They are coming.

Long live our padishah!

Long live our padishah!

Long live our padishah!

Long live our padishah!

Long live our padishah!

Long live our padishah!

Long live our padishah!

Long live our padishah!

Our Prince Mustafa. May he be fortunate!

See, Mustafa? See how they love you.

-I love them too. -Our Prince Mustafa.

May he be fortunate! Prince Mus...

Make way! His Excellency Sultan Suleyman Khan!

My padishah, we are honoured by your presence.

You came to the wedding of my son, Ibrahim.

How can I and my son, Niko, express our joy?

I am very pleased. Welcome.

Are you and your family happy?

My padishah...

I don't know how to say it. We are fishers.

Forgive us if we've made any mistakes.

We pray for you, and your family.

When I look at you, I want to call you Pargali.

To have a twin brother is a blessing from Allah.

Appreciate it.

Your brother is very important to me.

Your Majesty.

We've been neglecting this painting matter for a while now.

Maybe we can continue after the wedding.

You will paint other things for me too.

As you command, Your Majesty.

-Have you finished your work around here? -Very little is left, Your Majesty.

Good.

Hurrem?

Don't worry. It's just pregnancy pain.

It just hurt for a moment.

Nothing's wrong.

What's with the face? You are the sultan's maid of honour.

Work like a bee. Don't stop.

I am very upset that I am going to leave the palace.

I was to become a favourite and bear a prince, like Hurrem.

Don't think about these things now. It is no good to defy destiny.

-I won't be able to see His Majesty again. -Who said that? You can.

Ibrahim Pasha is His Majesty's closest friend.

-Of course he will come to the palace. -Will he?

He'll come.

But forget about your dreams.

Get back to your work.

-What happened? Are you okay? -My son can't sit still.

He's kicking a lot.

He gave his mother a hard time last night too.

A prince worth the world must be coming.

Come on. Today is the big day.

The bridal procession is setting out.

How many days has it been? When will the wedding end?

-Are you bored with the wedding? -No.

But I rarely see you. It's enough.

Stay by my side.

Suleyman, see? You're going again.

It turned out very beautiful, didn't it?

Do you think Hatice will like it?

If she doesn't, give it to me.

I fell in love with that necklace.

You're my most precious jewel.

My dear Hatice, my beautiful daughter, your marriage is solemnized.

You are now married to the Grand Vizier Ibrahim Pasha.

May Allah make you happy for a lifetime.

Mother.

This is my last day at my home.

Please, keep me in your loving embrace.

Make way! His Excellency Sultan Suleyman Khan!

Hatice, my precious sister.

I made a promise to you. Today, I am keeping that promise.

Seeing your happiness fills my heart with peace.

Your Majesty.

As long as I breathe...

...I won't take off this necklace.

I solemnize your marriage...

...with the sister of Sultan Suleyman, Hatice...

...in the presence of Ayaz Pasha, the one you named witness...

...and our Hatice Sultan's witness, Mustafa Pasha, Ibrahim Pasha.

May Allah grant you eternal happiness. May it be auspicious, Inshallah.

It isn't worthy of your title, but I would be happy if you accept it.

Maybe someday, if you go fishing again...

...and your nets need repairing...

-...you'll remember me. -Father.

Father, your presence, you being beside me, is already...

...the biggest, most precious gift for me.

This spindle...

...will never let me forget who I am.

I will always carry this with pride. It will be my lucky charm.

It's been nine days. How many more days will the wedding continue?

It will continue as long as Ibrahim Pasha likes.

Today, the bridal procession is leaving the palace.

They scattered gold. Gold rained onto the stones and the soil.

Thousands of people filled their empty stomachs on this table.

May Allah give prosperity.

You can't just scatter governments resources.

The treasury would drain.

Our padishah can go on another campaign and fill the treasury.

They wouldn't give up celebrations and go to war.

Shut up, you infidels!

Who conquered Rhodes and Belgrade? Your father?

You ate and drank. You should be thankful, instead you're insulting His Majesty.

Look at your own belly. You are the infidel.

-At who's door did you grow this belly? -What?

Can you hear what you're saying? You impertinent man!

You have no dignity! You are damned!

It's a sin to even give you trash!

Get off me! Impudent man!

Gulfem.

My knees are shaking.

-Don't leave my side. -My sultan, it's almost over.

Happiness is near.

What a beautiful day. Everyone is happy. Right, my sultan?

Hurrem Hatun, this is not what you're thinking.

You're a fraud. Everyone knows that.

You can't fool me. I know you.

Be on good terms with me, my sultan. It would be for your own good.

Where will the bridal procession come from?

They will come out from that building and pass through here.

-Wait. -Okay. Thanks.

The Ottomans have never seen a wedding like this.

That is so.

But they are wasting everything we won from the conquest of Rhodes.

And for whom? Ibrahim Pasha the favourite.

Not one day, not two days. People have been celebrating for nine days.

They say that it will continue.

-Hurrem, are you okay? -Don't worry.

It's been like this for days. Nothing is wrong.

There is still time for my prince to be born.

Don't say that.

You said it was a boy the last time. Then you were upset the most.

It must be. It has to be a boy.

Mahidevran has a son. I have to have two.

Gulnihal.

Pray.

I wish you happiness, Ibrahim Pasha.

I wanted to present your wedding gift today but the galley from Venice is late.

Also, I'd like to give you the message of congratulations from the doge of Venice.

Thank you, Balyoz Effendi.

Also, thank you for your gift. You're too kind.

Within a day or two, they will have brought your gift, a dinner set.

Enjoy your gift.

I'd like to break bread with you at that table.

Make way! His Excellency Sultan Suleyman Khan.

Your Majesty.

What did the Venetian want from us again?

They'll take advantage of your happy days and demand untoward things.

He came to congratulate, Your Majesty.

He gave me the congratulation letter from the doge of Venice.

Good.

May Allah let you wear this on good days.

Your Majesty.

I am thankful for your magnificent gift.

Alex, come on. Where are you, my love?

Sultan Hatice is very lucky.

She married with a wedding like this.

I will never experience something like this.

But my daughter, Mihrimah, will.

Ibrahim and Mahidevran will not be in the palace.

They will disappear.

The prince is coming!

Stop the carriage! My sultan is giving birth!

Your Excellency Sultan Suleyman.

I am honoured to be at this beautiful wedding

on behalf of the Republic of Venice.

Please, accept our congratulations.

The doge of Venice had this clock made specifically for you.

When you look at it, the time will flow like water.

Convey to him my thanks.

But I can't waste time looking at the time. I want to be ahead of the times.

Hold tight, Hurrem. Isn't there anybody here?

Call a physician! Where is the midwife?

Hold tight. It's almost over. Isn't there anybody?

Hatice, come.

Beyhan, Gulfem.

Mahidevran, you too.

Where is Hurrem, Daye?

They were behind us, my sultan.

Nigar Kalfa?

I didn't see her. I don't know.

They must be stuck in the crowd. Take care of it, right now.

Sultan Hurrem's carriage went back to the palace.

How? Who told you that?

I have nothing to do with it.

Nigar Kalfa, attend to this, right now.

Find out what happened and quickly bring the news.

Okay, I called the midwife, Hurrem. She is coming.

Hold tight. It's almost over.

-Help me, quick! -Lie down. Take deep breaths.

She is coming.

Suleyman, where are you?

There is no one!

Your Majesty.

I give you my gratitude for this magnificent wedding.

Pargali, you've waited too long for this.

On one side, my most precious treasure, Hatice.

On the other side, my faithful friend who saved my life several times.

It's not even enough.

Father. I haven't seen Mehmet. He still hasn't come.

What? Sumbul!

Your Majesty.

Why hasn't Hurrem Hatun come yet?

I will bring you information at once. Do not be concerned, Your Majesty.

Valide Sultan. The coachman has just come.

Her labour pains started, so they had to go back.

Have someone attend to her at once. Don't let her be alone.

Nigar Kalfa went and will attend, my sultan.

Allah, you are almighty. Please, help us. Please, make her give birth to a girl.

May she die giving birth, Inshallah.

So that my sultan's tears stop.

Hold tight.

-It's almost over Hurrem. Hold tight. -Hurrem Sultan?

Nigar Kalfa, nobody would notice if I died. Where were you?

My sultan, come on. One last push. Push, come on.

Tell me. Is it a boy?

-Gulnihal? Nigar? -My sultan, you gave birth to a lion cub!

Thanks to Allah.

Crescent browed, slender waisted beauty.

I would give my life for you.

Was it you? Gave me a fright.

Stand back. Don't let them see you.

Go.

Daye, give us good news on this blessed day.

-Did she survive? -My sultan, another prince has been born.

My dear Allah, you are almighty. You gave me two good tidings in one day.

Nigar. Bring me my son.

My sultan, you gave birth to the prince by saying it again and again.

Believe me from now on.

Pargali, I have another son.

Let all my subjects hear the news of the prince. Fire the cannons!

Your Majesty, we were glad about one thing and now it's two.

May Allah grant you and our prince long lives.

Thank you, Pargali.

My sultan, you made me happy again.

May Allah let him live a peaceful life with his mother and father.

Thank you, Mother. May Allah never leave us without you.

Ibrahim Pasha should come shortly. I should go.

Don't go so fast, Gulfem. Stay a little longer.

You've been waiting for this moment for a long time. Relax.

It's time make our pasha and yourself happy.

Valide Sultan invites you to our prince's naming ceremony, my sultan.

Will you be there?

My sultan, isn't this too much?

How dare she call you to her side?

We have to conform to the court customs.

I have to play this game by the rules.

I will go there, Gulsah.

Good night, my pasha.

Gulfem Hatun.

Thank you very much.

You played a huge part in this.

I could never pay you back.

Take care of our sultan.

Never upset her. Do not break her heart. Make her happy.

This is how you will pay me back.

Don't worry, Gulfem Hatun.

May Allah protect him and let him grow up in health.

Thank you, Sultan Mahidevran.

I will name my prince after my late father.

May he be a glorious conqueror like Sultan Selim Khan.

Selim, Selim, Selim.

Selim, Selim, Selim.

May Allah let him succeed.

Amen.

-May Allah make him happy. -Amen.

May Allah let him be beneficial for our country.

Amen.

There were 50,000 guests in Ibrahim Pasha and Sultan Hatice's wedding.

There were unprecedented festivals for 15 days.

The whole Constantinople had fun in the streets for days.

Ibrahim Pasha is not only the grand vizier anymore...

...he has now married into the royal family. He became very powerful.

The court is opened their doors to the common folk for the first time.

Even though the people are pleased with the festivals...

...some are disgruntled since it went on too long and so much money went into it.

Especially the Janissaries feel uncomfortable about this situation.

They believe war prizes from the Rhodes campaign are being thrown around.

Sultan Suleyman had another son during the wedding.

This boy, born of the Russian concubine Hurrem...

...was named Selim.

We should be in a close relationship with Ibrahim Pasha...

...whose mother is a Venetian.

A pasha who speaks our language and knows our ways is a good opportunity.

Venetian ambassadors should be nice to him...

...and have them give him some gifts.

Selim.

His aunt's precious.

Look at these sweet cheeks!

My dear.

You are so cute!

I am glad you came.

I wanted to come to your wedding, but I couldn't be there.

If you want something too much, apparently it doesn't happen.

How have you been? Are you better now?

I've just got out of bed.

I am bored to death, lying all day.

I want to get out a bit and get some fresh air.

It is like we are prisoners here.

How elegant!

Who put this on?

It's a gift from Sultan Mahidevran.

Good. This is how you should be.

Live in peace. Don't make me worry about you two.

We have found peace.

But tell me, are you happy?

Very.

I feel like a bird.

Soaring above the clouds.

A little bit lower. Yes. Through here.

Pull!

Focus on the target.

Release when you are ready.

Good job! Come on, one more.

When you are ready. Wait.

Then release.

-Good job. -My prince.

-Your Majesty. -Welcome, Pargali.

Mustafa insisted on trying archery after he saw the archers at your wedding.

-I will be the greatest archer, Ibrahim! -Do not call him Ibrahim.

You're a big boy now. He is Ibrahim Pasha.

You should call him that, or "my pasha."

Your Majesty, my prince could call me however he sees fit.

-We are close with him, aren't we? -Yes, we are.

When am I going to start my sword training, my pasha?

We can go to the Janissary Corps next week.

We can visit the company His Majesty is in.

-Don't give me wooden swords again. -No, you're not a child.

You will use steel swords now.

Your Majesty, will you see the Venetian ambassador today?

It would be enough if you see him.

Ask him if there is any news from Luther.

Also, we would like to host you with Sultan Hatice tomorrow evening.

We will be there.

Your Majesty, my prince. With you permission.

Come on.

Hold your hand steady. Draw the bow.

Can you see the target?

Release when you are ready.

Good job, Leo.

You are a gifted man.

Thank you.

So are you done here?

Ibrahim Pasha asked some more for the other chamber too.

Then I will be done.

No so fast. You will paint His Majesty first.

The sultan did not seem so eager. I don't think he wants one.

No, he really wants it. You are mistaken.

I am so sorry.

I didn't know you were here.

Vik... Sadika Hatun!

I need to tell you something.

Is it possible if we meet in the garden?

No. It is forbidden.

Someone might see. They would kill me.

Don't worry, this isn't the royal palace. There is nobody around.

Get some rest.

I should go, my mother must be waiting.

Thank you. I am glad to see you.

-Mahidevran. -My sultan.

I heard you came here. I was worried you were going to leave without seeing me.

I wanted to see our prince first.

Sultan Hatice loved the amulet you gave her.

So did I.

I haven't also seen my mother yet.

-We can go together. -Of course, my sultan.

Don't get too excited for your second son.

What matters is which prince is the heir to the throne.

Viktoria... No.

Sadika.

Sadika Hatun. Yes.

I wanted to...

What happened to here?

Nasuh Effendi.

I cannot stay for long. What were you going to tell me?

Look.

I drew this to remember you...

...your voice, and your beauty.

I drew you.

Will you not say anything?

-I have to go. -Sadika Hatun!

Before you go...

...let our eyes meet for once.

Just look at me, please.

Please, sir...

...someone might see us.

Hatice, my dear daughter. You are beaming.

Happiness suits you.

-Are you happy with Sadika? -Yes, Mother.

Sadika is very respectful and hard-working like you said.

Good, people like her are scarce these days.

We are still not used to your absence.

Please keep visiting me every morning. And stay until the evening.

Mother...

...I want to have dinner with my family tomorrow.

I wish for us to be together in the new palace.

His Majesty, you...

...Mahidevran, Gulfem, I want to host all of our loved ones.

We will gladly be there. Mother?

Of course we will, Hatice.

My pasha...

...I brought you the congratulation letter...

...from the doge of Venice and the Pope's wishes for your eternal happiness.

Thank you, Signore Mocegino.

Will Priest Luther's exile continue?

Yes, until the Pope forgives him.

Persona non grata.

There is no coming back from being declared an unwanted man.

My pasha, your wedding gifts have arrived in the docks today...

...and was sent to the palace.

However, some of our traders are having problems with the customs.

They plundered our warehouses.

-We beg for your help. -I see. Thank you.

I will see Ayas Pasha regarding this matter. You need not worry about it.

What else do you want?

Sultan Mahidevran came here and put on a charm herself.

Damn her charm!

She told me to not to get too excited.

Because Mustafa will succeed the throne.

I cannot believe the things she said.

Don't say anything to her.

You have reached your goals. Do not listen to them.

I can't help it!

I get infuriated whenever I see her. I am barely able to contain myself!

She is doing all this just to win Suleyman's favour.

They are all lies.

My sultan, you should get prepared.

His Majesty is waiting for you at the courtyard. You will be going.

I am going with His Majesty?

Find Gulnihal and bring her here. She is going to look after the children.

-Welcome, my sultan. -Thanks, Daye Hatun.

Mother, if you allow me, I wish to get on the way before it gets late.

We will be expecting you tomorrow.

However, I forgot to tell Hurrem Hatun.

I will invite her on the way out. You need not worry, Mother.

You are too late, my sultan.

Hurrem Hatun has just left the palace.

How? What are you talking about?

They left with His Majesty.

Where are they going?

Where are we going, Your Majesty?

The answer is between your beautiful lips.

This carriage will go wherever you want.

Sultan of my heart...

...every place you step on is heaven to me.

-Are you still here? -My pasha.

I was waiting for you, my pasha.

-I need your insight. -What is it about?

What, you couldn't talk to her?

I did. I sang like a bird, thanks to you.

So, what happened?

I talked to her...

...but she ran away like a shy gazelle.

What were you expecting? Was she going to fall into your arms?

Have patience.

You will soon find comfort, Matrakci.

Inshallah, my pasha.

The Venetian ambassador was sending me a table. Has it arrived?

I don't know. Why?

What are you doing?

I have been doing this since I was a little girl.

My dear mother used to say...

..."walk barefoot on earth...

...and it shall take away all your troubles and sorrows.

Earth shall give you happiness and joy."

Your mother spoke well.

One can only find peace in earth.

But I am not sure if it is on earth, or in it.

Giving him another prince made her valuable.

She is a lucky woman. They are doing whatever she says.

The reign of Hurrem Hatun has begun.

Kalfa! What are you waiting for? Go!

I should see my princes when Hurrem isn't here, Daye.

I haven't seen them for two days.

You will have enough time, my sultan. They won't be here for some time.

I don't know where this trip came from.

I am telling you...

...his love for Hurrem will be a trouble for us.

Good.

My sultan.

Ibrahim? Where did this come from?

Venetian Ambassador Mocenigo's gift.

It also has chairs and candleholders made of silver.

From now on, we will have our dinners on this table.

It is beautiful. Look.

As if they are chatting.

They are budgerigars.

They are expressing their love for each other.

They sing tirelessly for a lifetime.

They are yours.

I will also never keep quiet about my love.

Suleyman...

...my love. Suleyman.

You will keep quiet.

You will.

You will.

My sultan.

Queen of my heaven.

Your beauty blinds me.

Your words make me quite shy.

May our heaven be eternal.

If you are in love...

...consider yourself left alone.

If you are a padishah, consider yourself a slave.

My dear, the rose thinks it and your cheeks are alike...

...forgive it for these words.

You, my fairy...

...consider me burning in flames for your love.

You, Muhibbi...

...if you are looking for a taste of her sweet lips, go for some sugar.

Don't be proud of your prime...

...consider yourself a grain in the harvest.

They are still not back, my sultan. It's late, you shouldn't wait for them.

My love.

My sultan.

My dear Hurrem.

My love.

It is morning. Shall we go?

My children must be waiting for me.

You have a letter from Egypt, from Kadizade Mehmet Effendi.

Is it bad news, my pasha?

Kadizade says that Ahmet Pasha is in close relationships with the Mameluke emirs.

Ahmet Pasha...

You won't behave, will you?

You must be planning some treachery.

You're creating troubles out of nothing.

It's not good for you, Mahidevran.

But His Majesty took her with him and they are still not back!

Apparently they will be staying for long there.

Don't be silly! Why would Hurrem leave her children here?

She would be away for a day at most. They should be back today.

We are going to Hatice's for dinner. My lion won't miss it.

My sultan.

You are beaming with happiness.

Look at my birds. His Majesty's gift.

They are budgerigars.

Aren't they beautiful?

They are in love, just like my sultan and I.

We stayed the night in the forest. It was like a dream.

His Majesty, Sultan Suleyman Khan!

Is there an important matter you will present, my viziers?

There is letter from Egypt. From Kadizade Mehmet Effendi.

Has Ahmet Pasha started to be a problem?

How did you know, Your Majesty?

It was predictable, pasha.

I know why Ahmet Pasha went to Cairo.

I know him well. He is not one to contain his anger for long.

Ahmet Pasha has started talking with the Mameluke emirs.

He is holding secret meetings.

I would not want to accuse him wrongly, but he might have some treacherous plans.

Should we intervene, Your Majesty?

Inform Kadizade Effendi. He shall follow his every move.

Pashas, be prepared.

Do not let yourself be blindsided.

Ahmet Pasha is going to be a trouble for us very soon.

You are my birds too.

You also sing like them. You are my world.

These birds brought joy here.

-How nice of you! -They are His Majesty's gifts.

Gulnihal, when is Selim going to wake up? I missed my son.

Let him sleep, he kept me up all night.

We will go to Sultan Hatice's for dinner with His Majesty in the evening.

I have to be very beautiful.

I really want to see how the palace looks now.

Did you say this evening?

It's evening already, let's get ready!

Too salty.

-Give me some dough from there. -Dough?

-Are you going to add dough? -Yes, genius. I'll add some dough.

Because it takes some of the salt away. You should learn this stuff.

Come on now!

Is it mumbar dolmasi?

-Am I right, Seker Agha? -Yes you are, Sumbul Agha.

His Majesty's favourite meal.

-I will take His Majesty's dinner tonight. -Sure.

-But I can't, my agha. -Yes, you can.

His Majesty is going to have dinner at Ibrahim Pasha's palace.

I will take his meal.

I will lie down a bit.

Wake me up when the dinner is ready.

Don't forget!

Welcome, Mother.

Hatice.

My beautiful daughter.

My sultan.

Mahidevran, Gulfem, welcome.

-Thank you, my sultan. -Thanks.

This place looks really nice!

Are we eating here?

Yes, Mother.

I liked the European style.

Is His Majesty coming, Mother?

You can sit right here, Mother. His Majesty should be on his way.

We are here.

If only every day was like this.

I would be with you day and night.

You made me happy, you jollified my soul.

Let's go.

His Majesty, Sultan Suleyman Khan!

Your Majesty.

You honoured me, Your Majesty.

-Where did you get this? -Venetians sent it, Your Majesty.

It is a gift from the doge of Venice.

They seem to esteem you highly.

They are apparently trying to deceive you.

Those infidels keep coming up with silly things.

Mother.

This place looks like a European palace.

Viktoria.

Stop.

Don't be afraid.

I would never harm you. Just relax.

You should tell me if something upsets you.

You can let me know if you need anything.

I would do anything for you.

-Anything? -Whatever you want.

Actually...

-There is something. -I would even give my life!

I have not heard...

...from my family for some time.

I wrote a letter but I couldn't send it.

Don't worry about it. I would even deliver it myself!

There is a big ship at the docks. Its name is Fortuna.

Fortuna.

Captain Antonio should be on it.

Give this letter to him. Tell him it's from Viktoria.

And he will send it to my uncle.

Fortuna.

Captain Antonio.

Viktoria.

Everything looks beautiful, thank you.

But I don't want this in my palace, my lion.

I'm okay with eating from my silver plate on my couch.

All right.

This style will not enter your harem.

But I think you did not see the walls yet.

Look.

You can't find paintings like this in any Eastern palace.

What would wise men say about these?

That is Ibrahim Pasha's problem. Let's eat now!

Your Majesty, the Crimean painter is here. He is working.

Is that so?

Invite him here. I want to congratulate him for this.

Your Majesty.

Let him come.

Ibrahim Pasha, you can invite him here. It is okay.

Skilled artists like him are hard to find. We should appreciate them.

Come on, Leo. Have some food.

No, I am good.

Why? You're not feeling well?

You look pale, are you okay?

I'm fine, thank you.

His Majesty, Sultan Suleyman Khan invites you to his table.

Wow, His Majesty calls him!

You will get a big tip!

Leo Effendi!

What happened? You look petrified.

Don't be afraid. He won't take your head off.

But he might steal your heart.

Don't worry, just go!

Your Majesty, I introduce you to the esteemed painter Leo!

He brought light and beauty to our palace.

Come here, Leo.
