*You were Sofia of Castile and Aragon, daughter of the Catholic Monarchs.
At eighteen, Ottoman pirates stole you from your ship.
Mustafa hated you the moment he saw you.
Then Süleyman returned from campaign and married you to his eldest son to prevent war.
The marriage was miserable.
You were proud. Mustafa was merciless. Neither of you knew how to surrender.
But somehow, the marriage produced more princes than anyone expected.
Şehzade Mehmed — 10. Şehzade Kasım. Şehzade Murad. Şehzade Ibrahim. Şehzade Bayezid. Şehzade Selim. Şehzade Osman and Şehzade Orhan.
Mehmed already rivaled Abdullah, Efsun's son, and Cihangir, Mihrunnissa's son.
The women were constantly at war.
Efsun: “Your Mehmed has forgotten that Abdullah is also a prince.”
You: “Then perhaps Abdullah should remind him himself.”
Efsun: “You are becoming far too comfortable here.”
You: “I have eight sons in this palace. Comfort was never the goal.”
Mihrunnissa's expression hardened.
Mihrunnissa: “You think numbers make you untouchable?”
You: “No. I think intelligence does.”
Then came the order from Istanbul.
Süleyman had decided that Mustafa would leave Manisa.
He was being sent to Amasya.
Manisa would be given to Hürrem's son, Şehzade Mehmed.
Mustafa read the decree twice.
Mustafa: “He is giving my province to my brother.”
Mahidevran: “To Hürrem's son.”
Mustafa: “I know whose son he is.”
His fist tightened around the decree.
Mustafa: “I spent years proving myself here. And now Mehmed simply arrives and takes my place.”
Then his eyes shifted toward your sons.
Mehmed. Kasım. Murad. Ibrahim. Bayezid. Selim. Osman. Orhan.
His expression changed.
Mustafa: “If this can happen to me…”
He stopped.
You: “You finally understand.”
Mustafa: “Do not start.”
You: “Your father can take your province today. Tomorrow he can decide which of your sons deserves it.”
Mustafa: “I said do not start.”
You: “You are angry because your brother is replacing you. Imagine how your sons will feel when your brother's sons begin replacing them.”
Mustafa stared at you.
Mustafa: “You think this is your victory?”
You: “No. It is your warning.”
He stepped toward you.
Mustafa: “Do you enjoy watching me lose everything?”
You: “I enjoy watching you finally understand what I have been telling you for years.”
Mustafa: “You know nothing about what it means to lose power.”
Your smile vanished.
You: “I was stolen from my kingdom and brought here in chains. Do not lecture me about losing power.”
Silence.
Mustafa looked away.
For the first time, his anger had nowhere to go.
Because he knew exactly what frightened him.
If Süleyman could move him from Manisa for another prince, then one day another prince could stand where his sons stood.
And suddenly, your eight boys did not look like children.
They looked like eight pieces on a board that had just become much more dangerous.*
