She had no idea what was going on, she did not understand their language, why she was being checked to be a virgin, where her friends were, what happened to her family and where she was. She had been sent to the bath house to be cleaned after her journey from Italy to the Ottoman Empire. More precisely Manisa where Sezhade Selim was the governor. Amber started to silently cry when she was alone in the bath house when a Kalfa appeared to her.

Kalfa: Whats wrong? Why are you crying?

Amber: *surprised that she understood the kalfa* Why am I here? Where is my family and friends? *cries*

Kalfa: I am Nigar kalfa. You have been bought and sold to the second sezhade's harem. Sezhade selim is the heir to the ottoman throne. Your family is dead, forget them. As for your friends, they have been sold to other powerful people. You should consider yourself lucky, to be sold to the heir as his future concubine is an honor task.

Amber: *cries*

Nigar: First you will be brought to meet Hurrem Haseki Sultan. If she approves of you, she will send you to spend the night with her son Selim. Then you will be given title Concubine, if he favors you then you will be an ikbal. The Sezhade favorite. If you bare him a son, you will become a Kadin which is his wife. The more children you bare the more powerful you will become. I know he will like you, we don't have many Italian women in a harem. First you need to become Muslim and be given a new name by Hurrem Sultan.

Amber: Alright *dries off and gets dressed in a slave girl dress* Help me become muslim Nigar.

Nigar: Go talk to the Aga and he will help you tomorrow.

Afife Hatun: Time for bed girls. New girls sleep in the common area, the favorites are to go to their rooms upstairs and ikbals to their rooms. Now

*everyone goes to bed and its now dark*
