The Magnificent Century
Overview
At İbrahim’s banquet, Hürrem is shaken to see Leo—whom she believed dead—standing beside Süleyman, just as the Sultan asks Leo to paint a family‑style portrait of himself with Hürrem, placing both former lovers in a tense dilemma. Meanwhile, Matrakçı unknowingly aids Victoria’s plot against Süleyman, and Mahidevran, distressed by the idea of Hürrem being immortalized with the Sultan, takes Gülşah’s advice to move into Hatice’s empty chambers in hopes of regaining influence.
