Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska warned the princess more than once that if she did not lag behind the Sultan, she would lose her life. The princess tried to convey to Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska that she was just a hostage in the Ottoman lands and would gladly return to her homeland, where her groom was waiting for her. But Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska did not believe the words of the Spanish captive, so she decides to get rid of her.
Upon learning that Gul-aga saw a poisonous snake in the palace garden, Hürrem orders the eunuch to find it and place it in a casket. And then he orders the seamstresses to make a special outfit for the princess. When the dress was ready, Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska gives Gul-aga an order to send the chest with the dress to the princess in the hunting lodge, but put a snake at the bottom of the chest.
Isabella, having received a gift, opened the chest, but did not have time to look into it. The snake calmly crawled out of its confinement and hid in a secluded corner of the princess's chambers. Meanwhile, Suleiman decided to visit the captive in the hunting lodge and it was at that moment that the snake bit her.
Suleiman quickly reacted and was able to provide first aid to the princess, and then spent the whole night at her head.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, having learned about this, offers the princess to flee, promising to organize an escape. Without thinking twice, the princess agrees and early in the morning Gul-aga takes the princess and her maid to the ship, which will take them to their native lands.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska woke up in high spirits, deciding that she had finally got rid of the princess. However, Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska did not know that Syumbyul-aga overheard the conversation of the captive and her maid and learned about the upcoming escape. It was not freedom that awaited the princess on the ship, but Ibrahim Pasha, who returned the captive to the hunting lodge, and on the way advised her to show her interest in the ruler of the world.
Suleiman, having learned that the escape of the princess was organized by Hürrem, did not punish her. But he also did not begin to tell that the escape failed. And he invited Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska and the princess to dinner at the palace to Ibrahim and Hatice.
Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, at the sight of her rival, decided that the princess herself refused to escape and, seizing the moment, began to reproach her that she was not indifferent to the Sultan. This time, Isabella did not deny anything and admitted that she was in love with Suleiman. The princess recalled that she was not a slave, like Alexandra Anastasia Lisowska, and now she would fight for the heart of the Ottoman ruler.
Suleiman overheard their conversation and gave the order to Ibrahim to settle the Princess of Castile in the Sultan's palace in the chambers of the concubines.
Princess Isabella arrived at Sultan Suleiman's palace and kissed the hem of Valide's dress.
Valide was sincerely glad that another woman appeared in her son's life and hoped that she would give them to the dynasty of healthy shehzade.
