Vatican Palace Your Excellency we have received important news. The emperor of the Ottoman Empire, Sultan Selim, has died. His son Sultan Süleyman has inherited the throne. He is a young sultan. His father won great wars. He ruled with blood and power. He was the potentate of the Islamic world. The lion of Islam has died. The lion is gone, and the lamb has taken his place. I love you, I missed you so much. I missed you too. We will marry in this church. Your father will perform the ceremony. Our children will be baptised here. Hush, my mother is looking. The Tatars have come! - Leo! - Alex! Father! Father! Mother! Murderers! Who is the murderer? We are the murderers? Apologise this instant. No, not you, not the Ottomans. Tatars did it. Apologise, Alexandra! Stop being so stubborn, you nuisance! Alexandra, apologise or it’ll be a disaster for us. It will be a disaster?! What more can happen to me?! My mother, my father, my sibling... my Leo, all of my loved ones were murdered. They sold me to the Crimean Palace as a slave. As if it wasn’t enough, they sold me to the Ottoman Palace. What more can happen?! Let them kill me, I’ll be free. I have nobody left. It has too much pekmez and too little syrup, no! We can’t serve it to His Majesty. Get rid of these! Bring the quince and fig desserts now! Allah grant me patience! Şeker Agha, where are your dessert trays? Why didn’t you get help from the grand kitchen? You went on about being the real kitchen of the sultan. You wanted to serve his meal by yourself. Do you see what happened? You couldn’t manage it! So help me Allah... I will put you in vinegar, not pekmez. Be quick! We are ready, Sümbül Agha. We are ready, Sümbül Pasha. Move! Stop dawdling, or I’ll have you hanged! Quickly, take these, come on!
