"I am Alexandra La Rossa...I haven't told my sorrow to anyone. I never shared it. I shouted my sorrow into the wells, threw it into the sea where the waves took it away. I created a sultana from a slave girl and defied my fate."
"I am Hürrem Sultan...I gave life and I took it. I am the one who rose from being a slave to the top of the world. I am the one who passed through fire and ambush. I burned and I put the fires out. I learned the grief and oppressiveness of this world. I created a sultana out of this slave girl. "
