Luke walked with sully in the street of the flower shops as the villagers bowed their head with honor as they passed, they were looking for the perfect flowers to replace the ones on Loreta’s grave because her death anniversary was going to be the next day, they wanted to pick the flower by themselves that’s why they didn’t send any maiden to do it.

When they were back, albert requested to have dinner with them and they accepted without any excuse because Sully thought that he wanted to tell them about the memorial tomorrow.

When they were walking in the lobby toward the dinning hall, Luke grasped Sully’s arm and brought out a pen and a book from his pocket and started writing something and gave it to her and it read ‘Please tell father about me and Elena, I want to wed her before it’s too late’ sully read and scoffed.

“Why don’t you tell him yourself?” sully said and was about walking again when he held her arm again and stared at her “alright, so stop staring at me like that”.

Then began eating their food, when albert smiled and cleared his throat “so-” Albert was saying when sully interrupted him “you remember mother’s memorial is tomorrow, right father?” sully said and looked at Albert and he ignored her eyes.

“Of course I do, I remembered it this time, I mean-” Albert was saying when sully interrupted him which was rude of her to do “Luke has a bride in mind father, Elena wills, she works as a cleaner here, I think you should look into that” sully said and Albert didn’t say anything and just continued eating.

“I’ll believe you understood-” sully was saying as she was standing up when Albert interrupted her “because you’re a princess of the whole kingdom, doesn’t mean in anyway that you can’t be punished by the king” Albert said and sully scoffed.

“Sit your ass back down sully” Albert said “Ser. Philip, get my horse ready” “Ser. Philip do not move an inch” Albert said and sully turned to ser, Philip “I said get my horse ready” sully said and ser. Philip looked at albert and looked at sorry and bowed his head “yes, my princess” ser. Philip said and ser. Christopher drew out his sword at ser. Philip and he drew out his too and sully looked at albert.

“SIT-DOWN” albert said strictly, Luke drew sully’s gown too and she looked at him and she suddenly felt anger burning through her veins, she now felt that Luke was siding with her father whom he knew she hated the most.

Sully stormed out of the dinning hall and ser. Philip was about following her and she turned and looked at him angrily.

Sully rode her horse under the strong wind, she rode past the palace gates and the territory gates, she was going to meet her godmother, the midwife, who lived far away from the palace, on top of the hill in lily valleys.

Her godmother dropped a cup of hot milk on the table and sully quickly drank it because she felt cold from the horse ride.

“How long will you continue to hate your father my princess?” Her godmother said and sat on a wooden chair “as long as he exists” “what a funny thing to say” her godmother said and coughed and blood poured on her hand and sully stood up.

“don’t panic, it’s nothing” she said and took a cloth to clean her hand “you haven’t yet seen the Nuns have you?” sully said “oh, there’s no need for that, I’ll get healed in no time” she said and stood up.

“When are you going back to the palace?” her godmother asked as she stood up “what a smooth way of changing the conversation, I’m going now, if I don’t then it’ll look like I’m weak” sully said.

“you’re supposed to be the one to inherit the throne do you know that?” godmother said and held sully’s hand “a woman can’t be the ruler of Dracules, it’s a rule and I’m also against that, that’ll be too much burden for a woman, she have her cycle and pregnancy to think of, then at the same time ruling seven phases, just too though” sully said and shook her head.

“But I know you can do it, I’m not saying Luke is not fit but, he is mute, he’ll need so much assistance and I heard that he only communicates with you” godmother said and looked at sully’s hands.

“But still, Luke is the heir to the iron throne, there is nothing I can do, why don’t you follow me back to the palace?” sully said and godmother immediately took her hands off sully’ and sat on a chair.

“The guilt I feel is still in me till today, sully, the child I kept in my own hands was murdered with the same hands, I don’t know if you understand what I’m saying-” she was saying when sully interrupted her “I understand, but you had a reason behind it, look at Luke now-”

“Go home sully” godmother said and the atmosphere was quiet for somewhile before sully left.

Sully rode her horse back into the palace gates as the guards were retreating back into the palace, “we have been searching everywhere for you, my princess” ser. Philip said as sully came down from her horse.

“Cancel the memorial for tomorrow, it’s time we move on already” sully said as she gave her gloves to ser. Philip.
