The feelings of Ibrahim and Hatice Sultan were mutual. But both understood that the Sultan would not give his blessing on their marriage. Hatice is the mistress, and Ibrahim is an ordinary slave. However, you cannot order your heart, and when Valide told her daughter that Suleiman was looking for a suitable candidate for her husband, Hatice decided that it was better to die. Once she had already been married to an old pasha, the second time the lady did not want to endure such a thing.
This time Suleiman personally chose a husband for his beloved sister. And his eyes fell on the teacher Mustafa Mehmed Chelebi, the son of the respected Grand Vizier of the Ottoman Empire.
Suleiman told his sister the good news - even before the military campaign, they would play an engagement. And after the campaign, she will become a married woman.
Neither mother nor brother saw Hatice's sad look. Only Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, Makhidevran and Gulfem knew how the care of loved ones wounds her heart.
Hatice was brought up in strict conditions and respected the traditions of her people, therefore, she considered it a great sin to go against the will of mother and sultan. But she did not want to submissively bow her head before the blow of fate. Hatice decides that death is better for her than marriage with her unloved. Hatice decides to end his torment by tasting the poison.
Gulfem finds Mistress in bed in the morning with a bottle in her hands. During the time, the doctor arrived in time, was able to return Hatice from the other world. But neither Valide nor the Sultan found out about this incident.
Hatice did not have the strength to fight anymore and she decided to come to terms with her fate. Hatice sends Ibrahim a farewell letter, in which he says that he will not oppose the fate prepared for her and will become the wife of the beloved.
And he hopes to meet with Ibrahim in the Gardens of Eden.
