At one time, Ibrahim, in the name of love for Khatija, renounced his status and honor. But later, one rash phrase of Khatija that she is a mistress, and he is a slave who is obliged to serve the Ottoman state and her, left a big scar in the soul of the vizier.
Ibrahim, seeing that Nigar, an ordinary servant, was burning with love for him, could not resist and set off in all seriousness.
For a long time they managed to fool everyone and hide their love affair, but as they say, everything is secret - becomes apparent and Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska found out about their connection, who will not spare the feelings of Hatice and the life of himself Ibrahim.
And so it happened, Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska told Khatija about their relationship and even brought Gulshak to confirm her words.
Despite the fact that Matrakchi said that Nigar's child was his, Ibrahim did not deny his betrayal.
Khatije, in the presence of Nigar, asked Ibrahim if she was carrying his child under her heart. Ibrahim did not deny and confessed to the mistress of treason.
So why did Ibrahim not deny his guilt, because he could say that this is the child of Matrakchi.
I think there were three reasons for this:
1. Ibrahim himself was tired of lies and relationships with Nigar, because he still loved Hatice and cherished his family.
2. Ibrahim understood that many people already knew about the connection with Nigar and there was no point in denying it. He understood that Hatice felt that he was the father of the Nigar child even without his recognition.
3. Ibrahim, despite his cynicism, was a good warrior. A good warrior always knew how to accept defeat with dignity.
