After the execution of Mustafa, the sovereign was tormented by pangs of conscience and questions were constantly spinning in his head:
- whether Mustafa was guilty;
- have my son been slandered;
- whether I made the right decision;
- could I have done otherwise.
Even in the military camp, the Janissaries began to accuse Rustem and Khyurrem of the execution of Shehzade. If the Sultan drove Rustem away, then what to do with his beloved woman? And do the janissaries tell the truth?
For two long years Suleiman was tormented by doubts: whether she had a hand in this Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska. But he stubbornly drove these thoughts away.
Suleiman often went out to the people, disguised, to find out with his own ears and eyes how his people live.
And when he once again went “to the people”, he heard that people blame the witch Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska in the execution of Mustafa, who was able to deceive the sovereign himself.
These words did not leave Suleiman's mind. He already suspected his faithful, and it turns out that not only he thinks so. The overlord decides to personally ask his wife about it.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska - the sultan, having learned that the sovereign was waiting for her in his chambers, was delighted. Really Suleiman missed her, and finally the block of ice that has grown between them begins to slowly melt.
However, Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska did not expect that the sovereign would begin to blame her for the sad fate of Mustafa:
- Tell me, you are involved in the death of my Mustafa. It was you who had a hand that led him to this fate, it was you who slandered him, is it your fault?
To which Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska replied that he was the ruler of the world. And without his order, not even rain will fall. I am not at all sinless, but everything is not without sin. I do the right thing, and so do you. Don't look for innocence. The one who possesses such power and desired it cannot be an innocent angel.
Poor man, he wanted to shift the burden of responsibility for his act onto the shoulders of his wife, but Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska did not tell him whether she was guilty or not. But she indicated that it was he who had the power and it was he who made decisions. And that he is far from an angel.
