Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska possessed a strong and domineering character, and it would seem that she calculated her every step in advance. However, she was able to make such a mistake, which she was unable to correct. This is Nurbanu Sultan.
Khyurrem Sultan herself gave the girl a name and sent her to the sanjak to Selim.
The task for Nurban was not a difficult one: to be near the shehzade, to discourage him from bad habits and to report Khyurrem Sultan about everything that happens in the sandjak.
Nurbanu coped with her task brilliantly. But as the saying goes, appetite comes with eating. Sultan Suleiman is no longer young, Mustafa was removed from the road, it remains to remove Bayazid and then she will become the concubine not of Shehzade, but of the ruler himself.
Nurbanu calculated everything, it remains only to save Selim from fear and pity that prevented him from removing his brother from the road. But this is within her power.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska understood who Selim was pushing to war with his brother and ordered Fakhriya to get rid of his concubine. However, Fakhriye failed to do this.
When Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska found out that her illness was incurable, she called her sons to her to say goodbye. The sons arrived in Istanbul with their concubines and children.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska called Nurbanu to her place, and said:
- I called you, because I think you are wondering why you are still alive. My son is very attached to you. Just so as not to upset him, I was satisfied with your link. But I see you, my grace, took it for weakness. Is not it?
Nurbanu, Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska reminded that it was she who gave her this fate. And that he does everything for the happiness of the shehzade and his children.
Also Nurbanu told Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska that she is following the same path as Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska once did.
However, there is a big difference: Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska came to everything ready, Suleiman was already the master, and she had to fight for this place.
- You can rest assured that one day this palace will become mine, and in these chambers, I will live. You are perfectly aware of this! The pendulum will swing and then my time will come.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska was outraged by the words of the insolent concubine and she drove her out of her chambers, and Fakhriye said that there should be no more mistakes. Nurbanu must die.
But Fakhriye will never be able to fulfill this order of his mistress, and it is Nurbanu who will rule the state of the Ottoman Empire. First, Selim will be the pendulum of reign in her hands, and then her son Murad.
