For many centuries, the Sultan's family had their own rules and orders, but when love burns in the heart, even the death penalty cannot stop this feeling.
Nigar-kalfa fell in love with the husband of Mrs. Ibrahim Pasha herself, but she hid her love and sorrow deep in her heart.
However, the cunning Pasha found a way out and came up with how to visit the house of Nigar without suspicion. He decided to marry Nigar with Matrakchi, while telling him that Nigar is his woman.
Matrakchi endured humiliation for a long time, because he respected and feared Pasha, but his patience ran out when horns were hung on the door of their house.
Matrakchi announced a divorce from Nigar, although he indicated the reason - the absence of children.
Daye-Khatun always treated Nigar - Kalfa treated her like her own daughter, and when she fell ill, she decided to come to her home to support Nigar. And it was in this parish that Daye learned about the love affair of Pasha and Nigar.
Daye - always a fair and reasonable woman understood how this connection could turn out to both - death penalty, and despite her devotion to the imperial family, she found the strength to preserve everything in secret.
Despite her loyalty, Daye often acted not according to the rules of the harem, but in fairness, at the risk of being punished herself.
Recently, Valide was angry with Daya and even wanted to drive her out of the palace, but the Hatun was worried about the condition of her mistress, and understood that if this connection was opened, Valide would suffer greatly.
Daya has been faithfully serving the Sultan's family for more than 40 years, but at that moment she could not betray Nigar-Kalfa, so she decided to pretend that she was not aware of her love affair with the Pasha.
