The Return to Edirne Palace of Prince Mustafa and Sadi Pasha🔥👑🔥

Wedding Day at the Palace✨

The magnificent day arrived at the palace. On Hatice Sultana's wedding day, Prince Mustafa, who would become one of the most powerful rulers in the world, made his grand entrance into Edirne Palace on horseback, accompanied by his right-hand man and mentor, Lala Sadi Payaslı. Nothing would be easy from this point forward; power struggles and battles would usher in a new era with his return. As enemies witnessed the determination in Prince Mustafa's entrance to the wedding hall, shining like the bright sun, a sense of hatred and resentment had already begun to take hold.

Prince Mustafa was a young man with golden-blond, slightly wavy hair, tall stature, handsome appearance, broad shoulders, agility, and attractive facial features. His eyes, adorned with the enchanting beauty of a greenish-blue color, complemented his beautiful and sharp structure. The aggressive and stern nature of Mustafa added an extra allure to his attractiveness.

On the other hand, Sadi Pasha was as stern as can be, but he possessed colder stares compared to Mustafa. Unlike Mustafa's varying moods, Sadi Pasha always maintained a steady and cold gaze. Standing at a height of 195 cm, with cold sea-toned blue eyes, Sadi Pasha's words and pen were as sharp as his sword, if not more so.

Sultan Abildevranşah, upon seeing Prince Mustafa, was overcome with joy, tears welling up in his eyes as he embraced him to alleviate the longing. In that moment, a wave of happiness swept through the palace, but especially Prince Biladis' face darkened in an ugly manner. The inner impurity of Prince Biladis seemed to manifest on his face, creating a permanent expression of malice and envy. Witnessing Prince Mustafa's success only deepened the jealousy and resentment within Biladis. The duplicity in his eyes revealed a dangerous character, almost willing to scheme any intrigue to undermine Prince Mustafa.

After the meeting with Prince Mustafa, Sultan Abildevranşah expressed admiration and praise, particularly for Sadi Pasha, who had been by his side for years, molding him into a strong and intelligent prince. Despite holding a high position in the palace hierarchy, Sadi Pasha remained remarkably humble. Responding to the Sultan's kind words, he modestly bowed his head and said, "Don't mention it, my Sultan. I am always praying for your health and well-being for bestowing upon me this beautiful honor and privilege."

Valide Sultana had truly missed Prince Mustafa. As Mustafa approached, she opened her arms and called out, "My son." With tear-filled eyes, she tightly embraced her one and only son, Prince Mustafa. This embrace from Valide Sultan was a poignant expression of years of longing and profound love. In the grandeur of the palace chamber, maternal love and yearning filled the atmosphere, almost intoxicatingly overflowing.

On the other hand, Prince Biladis turned to Pasha Borzan with a jealous expression, saying, "He came again, the apple of my father's eye. We'll just watch his indulgences from the sidelines now," expressing his envy. Prince Biladis' words were a reflection of internal discomfort and jealousy. In the shadows of the palace, family conflicts and rivalries became once again pronounced.

Borzan Pasha, scrutinizing Prince Mustafa's face, said, "Take a close look, my prince. What do you see on Prince Mustafa's face?"

Borzan Pasha was the uncle of Prince Biladis, being the brother of his mother, yet harboring treachery and resentment similar to his nephew Biladis. Prince Biladis, on the other hand, was one of Prince Mustafa's stepbrothers and one of those who envied him the most. The intricate family relations and emotional conflicts among them left deep traces in the shadows of the palace. Between the envy in Prince Biladis' eyes and Borzan Pasha's observant gaze, the complex tapestry of palace intrigues emerged like a painting.
