When Ibrahim Pasha gave the seal to Sultan Suileman and went to the hunting lodge awaiting the verdict, he invited his brother Niko to stay with him.
In a conversation with his brother, Ibrahim Pasha admitted that his heart now belongs to Nigar - kalfa, a woman whose golden hands healed him from a serious illness. Thanks to Niger, the Pasha found peace and found the meaning of life.
And it is Nigar - Kalfa, who loves Pasha as he is and loves him with all his heart, despite the punishment that will follow if their love affair is opened.
And that love for Khatija - the sultan, for the sake of which the pasha sacrificed everything and even threatened his own life, disappeared in an instant.
At the moment when Hatice, the Sultan, quarreling with her husband, said that she was his mistress, and he was only a slave who was obliged to serve the Ottoman state, that is, to serve her. And if he loses her, he will lose the trust of the sovereign.
It was at this moment that the proud Ibrahim Pasha realized that his love, understanding and loyalty were dissolved in an instant. That he will always be a slave for his wife, and she will be his mistress, who revels in power over him.
Ibrahim Pasha tried to throw out the words of the mistress from memory, but he did not succeed.
Then Niko reminded his brother of their mother's words:
- Choose a woman and a cow in your village.
But now Ibrahim cannot return to his native land, he must return to where his friends and enemies are waiting for him.
