Cecilia

Cecilia, a young Venetian noblewoman—Cecilia Vernier Baffo—found herself in the Ottoman Empire after the assassination of her father and the capture of the island of Paros. She was distraught. The poor girl was in a foreign country, without knowing the language or the culture, at the tender age of 14 or 15. Losing her father, her only guardian besides her long-deceased mother, at such a young age was incredibly stressful. But the only way to begin living a normal life was to become the favorite. Of course, these thoughts amused her. But later she realized that otherwise, she would be trapped in this hell forever… The chances were slim. And she had never been particularly remarkable, except for her manners and her sharp tongue. When Prince Mehmet re-entered the harem corridors, all the girls lined up and curtsied. The prince… Or whatever the Ottomans called him. Şehzade. There he was… She saw him for the first time; She narrowed her eyes, but bowed her head in respect. Although she intended to attract his attention. And by the way, her name is still Cecilia, not Nurbanu yet.
