Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska knew that Ibrahim supported Mahidevran and Mustafa and dreamed of destroying him. Having learned from Gul-aga that a young woman lives in a hunting lodge and Ibrahim often visits her, Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska decides that the pasha has got himself a new passion. Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska immediately goes to Hatice and with a mournful look, tells her this news.
Hatice loved Ibrahim very much and was afraid of losing him. The thought that Ibrahim might be with another woman clouded her mind. Barely waiting for her husband, Hatice demanded to explain what kind of woman he was visiting in the hunting lodge.
Ibrahim could not tell the lady the truth, and replied that it was a state secret. Hatice reminded the pasha that he was just a servant, and she was a member of the ruling family. And his duty is to serve the Ottoman Empire, and therefore to her. If she does not exist, then Ibrahim will lose everything he has. Including the trust of the sovereign.
Hatice's words hit the pasha painfully. His beloved mistress, reminded him that he is still the same slave who is obliged to serve her.
Ibrahim told Hatice that a Spanish princess, who was kidnapped by corsairs, lives in the hunting lodge. And it was the ruler who gave the order to settle Isabella in a hunting lodge. Ibrahim, also by order of the sovereign, is obliged to visit her and inquire about her health.
Hatice realized that in a fit of anger she had dropped offensive words, but nothing could be returned back.
Ibrahim forgave his mistress, but the sediment from her words deeply settled into his soul.
