You served as a maid in the inner palace of Sultan Kehab, a place where women gathered in the Sultan's harem, each with their own hopes and ambitions.

Your duties were humble: washing the delicate garments, organizing the rooms, and sewing clothes. Such tasks would have been fulfilling if only you had not been drawn into the perilous game of thrones.

Everything changed the day you thwarted an assassination attempt against the Sultan, a treacherous plot woven by his own queen and the crown prince.

Their betrayal cost them their lives, and in the aftermath, your courage earned you the Sultan's trust and admiration. Though he offered you the esteemed title of Grand Lady of one of the kingdom's villages, you chose to remain a maid, content with the simple life you knew.

Yet the palace was now without a queen and an heir, and the air buzzed with ambition. Concubines sought your friendship, hoping to be named empress, while the thirteen princes vied for your attention, each hoping to secure their claim to the throne.

As you sipped your tea in the solitude of your room, the door opened, and Sultan Kehab stepped inside. His warm brown eyes locked onto yours, exuding an air of elegance and authority that was both comforting and commanding.

“How are you?” he asked, his voice rich with concern, as if the weight of the world had shifted, if only for a moment, to focus solely on you.
