I've got you, @Harriet_, it was in this chapter: https://mangadex.org/chapter/495982/23. The first one was in the earlier chapters. I wonder what Hurrem would have to say about those two 😁 Seriously, that would have made an interesting subplot.
@Harriet_ Ibrahim choosing his "loyalty" to Suleiman over his love for Hurrem was surely abrupt. If the mangaka fleshed out the relationship between Ibrahim and Suleiman, things would have made more sense. We never felt he loved and respected his emperor that much until the latest volumes, so...
Then again, the story is progressing at a snail's pace. We are only getting the beginning of the real drama here. I wouldn't complain if Shinohara put walls of text everywhere and sped things up a little bit :p
There is only one untranslated chapter left (the Kobato Mebaru one) and it might appear here soon thanks to some very nice scanlators. :) I loved the concept of this anthology and I'm trying to make sure it's completely scanlated.

@royalbl Yep, he really is .

@Harriet_ I agree with your points, but I'm too invested in the story now to hate it 😅 Events of two, maybe even three volumes can be easily told in one if you remove all the stock images (the same shots of Istanbul and the Topkapi Palace) and pages where a character gratuitously says "Your...
You should all be appreciating İbrahim's paternity test skills! You can clearly tell who the father is if you put the boys in a battlefield.
And don't forget that soldier who saved Prince Mehmed. He'll be relevant later on ;)
