Location: Memory Flashback Seljuk Empire Isfahan Palace Baby Lauren's chambers on December 21, 1993, at noon
Location: The sounds of Terken Hatun walking into baby Lauren's bed chambers
Terken Hatun: Why do we have an illegitimate child living here inside the palace?
Sultan Malik-Shah: Because my Hatun. She was entrusted to us, and I made a promise to them. That I would keep her safe no matter what.
Terken Hatun: Why can't a servant raise this child?
Sultan Malik-Shah: Because this child has royal blood flowing through her veins. Just like it flows through my veins. The only difference is that we come from two different dynasties.
Terken Hatun: Then why can't her own kingdom raise her?
Sultan Malik-Shah: Because my Hatun all of the Merry time kingdoms were swept away by the evil queen's dark curse.
Terken Hatun: The dark curse?
Sultan Malik-Shah: Yes, my Hatun the dark curse.
Terken Hatun: Then how did she end up here in our kingdom? Instead of being swept away by the dark curse with her own people?
Sultan Malik-Shah: Because an ally from her kingdom managed to save her before the dark curse made it to her kingdom.
Terken Hatun: So why did this person entrust that little girl to us? Why didn't this person take her and raise her?
Sultan Malik-Shah: Because he knew he could trust us in raising her into a fine young woman.
Terken Hatun: What makes her so special that he's asked us to raise her? Besides her having a different kind of royal blood flowing through her veins.
Sultan Malik-Shah: It's not just her royal blood that makes her special. There's another reason why he asked us specifically to raise her.
Terken Hatun: An what's that my Sultan?
Sultan Malik-Shah: She's also the savior as well.
Terken Hatun: You're telling me this little girl is the savior. The one who possesses the most powerful magic of all time?
Sultan Malik-Shah: That is correct my Hatun?
Terken Hatun: Well even if she is the savior. A sultan should not be responsible in raising her. A servant should be raising her outside of the palace.
Sultan Malik-Shah: Well lucky for you my Hatun. You won't be one of the ones to raise her. Luckily, she has two other royal adoptive mothers. Who are more than happy to raise her. Also, she will be raised in the palace. End of discussion.
Terken Hatun: As you wish my sultan.
Sultan Malik-Shah: You may leave now.
Terken Hatun: As you command my sultan.
