I love the innocence of Varis and how she is maturing. Knowing that she has enemies as well as loyal subjects is opening her eyes to the real world of the story. Keep posting the next chapters
This looks like it was a fuckton of work to write. Seriously, good job. I haven't like all of your work in the past and this one is excellent. I do want to mention that a couple of times I've felt like the sex scenes are being specifically placed so that you have one per chapter. I don't think you should feel the need to write like that. If they come up, cool. If we have to wait a chapter because the story comes first, thats fine too.
I've become enraptured by this tale of growth of the reluctant Sultanah. This is an epic story that might even have kept my attention without the sex... but, your ability to weave into the her story so many levels of intrigue, angst, and evolution (and very hot sex) has me checking daily for a new chapter. I read through it rapidly and then again leisurely, each time finding it equally enjoyable.
Great story, as usual! I've really been enjoying this one.
Although as someone with a wee bit of knowledge of Turkish, I have been cracking up at some of the names... :)
She may have been heir to an empire but she's now just the ruler of a rather poor city-state according to your description. She has too many nobles relative to the size of her Sultanate and way, way too big a harem. Don't you think someone on her staff would have pointed out the 3,000 extra mouths the palace had to feed in the midst of a siege. Also if only the "Sultan" and the priestess of Gunes had access to the harem how did they get food? However I love the story and almost feel the sex detracts from it.
I am thoroughly enjoying this story, the plot is incredible and the eeoric portions are fantastic!!!! Can't wait for the next installment.

I'm a little curious why Varis hasn't instructed Cin to seek gunes about a miracle concerning the food supply. Considering the miracles already worked it would be a simple thing to keep the city state from starving by divine power.
Also you need to have people address her by her rank's honorific titles. Majesty, potentate, highness, or similar works better than sultanah six or seven times in a conversational flow.
Just free the slave already.... I mean c' Mon.
If Gunes was king of the gods who were his/ her divine subjects?
I think this has to be one of the best, if not the best, story I have ever read here. The sex is a pure bonus.
Your story has an interesting premise. I am a bit surprised at some of the word usage.
For example - you use the word "drug" to describe the past tense of the verb "drag".
This is a very unusual usage. I haven't seen this before.

Although this part had less plot, the descriptive and colorful sex was too good to be true. I will be having wet dreams for months now!!
Nevertheless your writing never fails to fascinate me:
"A half empty stomach was a fair price to pay for such a leader. This was real power. "
splendid, simple splendid.!!
YOUR MIND AND YOUR IMAGINATION ARE WONDERFUL
THANKS FOR SHARING BOTH WITH US
