Well, it looks like things were turning up for me. Until I got rejected at the door. And not. Or perhaps it's best if I recount the whole thing, since time has passed and my memory of the event isn't so clear anymore. - Behic Sultan

Fahir Aga and Mehe Kalfa took to escort me down the path I went before, the Golden Road. Somehow, today felt different. This wasn't a one night stand, but part second. Soon if I can, I will come more and more till I can become one of the closest persons to his majesty Sultan Osman.
"Valencia, slow down. The Sultan isn't that desperate" Mehe scolded me. I kept on going fast, but then I slowed down as we approached the doors. Guards were watching carefully our every move, so I paused and took a breath as Mehe came forward.
"Valencia Hatun is here." She informed the men. The two main guards for the hall looked at each other and back at me.
With his long braids bobbing, the taller man cleared his throat and said, "I thought we were expecting Arketá Hatun. She is there" He pointed down the hall as I saw my nemesis approaching. Argh! How I hate her.
"Fine we will come another time-" Mehe began dragging me away, but I yanked out of her grip and began going as fast as I could walk.

"Valencia Hatun! Get back here!" Fahir Aga hissed as he chased after me, but I was clearly too fast for him as I came to the doors. Arketá was not too far behind, and I needed to make it in before she could. Whatever it takes.
The guards into these doors were asleep so I moved in and knocked. I heard a faint 'come in' and pushed the doors forward and my eyes landed upon Sultan Osman.
"Valencia Hatun?" Osman put down the papers he had held in his hand. "Have you been sent to me?"
"Yes, yes!" I nodded, pronouncing a bit slowly as a cheeky smile hinted on my face. Osman grinned as he got up from his chair. I bowed slightly as he made his way to me. his Majesty's paused in front of me as he held my chin up and inhaled deeply my amazing perfume. He chuckled.
"You look stunning this evening." I blushed at his kind words.
"Thank you, Hunkarim."
He escorted me over to the balcony where we looked out across the city at the beautiful sky.
"See those stars out there?" He pointed as I nodded. "You shine brighter in my eyes than any of them, Valencia."
Osman pulled me in for an embrace, and as he did I looked across the quiet city, taking in the fresh air, I felt as though this could one day become my true home, and my true love.
