Magnificent Century Kösem ≡ 1x28: the small ice age
Do you remember the first time we went hunting? We were two kids completely free from worries, we had no responsabilities. We were under our Hunkar father’s wings.We were chasing a gazelle and when my father was about to hit it another arrow came of nowhere, past us and shot straight into the gazelle’s heart. My father was very angry, so they went and brought the man, who was someone from the surrounding areas. From what he said, he didn’t notice us. Why are you telling me these things my Hunkar? Shhhh… My father took the man’s head and I asked him why he did it, he said ‘I am the Padishah, no one can set their eyes on what is mine’. I said, 'but the man said he had not seen you, that’s why he hit the gazelle’. He replied to mesaying, 'we’ll never know that. Did the gazelle die? It did, so, in that case, that man got his punishment because we could have been killed in place of that gazelle’.
My Hunkar I haven’t set eyes on anything of your, I never will, or will you kill me? You have given me your word, you said you would never turn your back on me!
I keep my promise Mehmed, but you did not.
