During the reign of the Ottoman Empire, it was rare to meet devoted servants who faithfully served their mistresses. And if there were such, more often the mistresses used them in their dirty intrigues, which led to their death.

One of the devoted maidens of Mahidevran was Diana, a street thief whom Mustafa brought to his palace.

Diana, in gratitude for her salvation, more than once saved Mustafa from death, which earned her respect in the harem and she was appointed a personal kalfa in Manisa. The maid swore allegiance to her mistress and assured that she was ready to kill anyone for her.

Mahidevran, taking advantage of Diana's loyalty, gave her a new name - Fakhriye Kalfa and sent her to the palace in Istanbul to deal with Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska.

At first, Fakhriye really tried to fulfill the order of her mistress, and made several attempts on Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, but they all failed.

Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, who did not suspect the intentions of the Kalfa, brought her closer and appointed her the main servant.

Fakhriye received all orders from Shah - Sultan, who ordered not to touch Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska yet, but only to follow her. For more than a year, Fakhriye carried out the orders of the Shah - Sultan, and during this time she managed to get used to her new mistress Khyurrem.

When the servant wrote a letter to Manisa with a request to return, she was refused, and not from Mahidevran herself, but from Shah - the sultan, and immediately after this conversation, they tried to kill her.

Fakhriye realized that she was no longer needed by Makhidevran and told Hurrem about everything.

Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, having thought it over well, decides to leave Fakhriye in his service, and she will serve her faithfully until the death of her mistress.
