      Chapter One

      The Wedding

      It was a rainy evening. Two young people talked in the midst of its dark, watery curtains. After a triple-forked-lightning flash, Sestina shivered, although she realized the reason had nothing to do with the rain.

      I do not understand… you mean you will leave, just like that?

      It is necessary for me to do so, Ottin answered with his dark hair plastered over his face and his brown eyes low.

      Was it to keep the rain from them or did he feel as bad as she did? Sestina pondered.

      My family will have the opportunity to be better off, if I do so, he answered. His dark lashes finally rose to meet her wet face.

      Let me see if I understand you right…? You want me to stay here without you, while you go to another kingdom far way and who knows for how long?

      It will be only for a few years, while Father and I establish ourselves, my love.

      He moved closer. However, Sestina’s broken heart made her step back and he froze.

      What about our wedding in two weeks? she cried. My mother just finished my wedding dress.

      The thunder competed with their conversation and she felt the need to be loud. She hugged her arms for comfort as a tremor consumed her body as fast as the drops falling down it.

      We will just postpone it… for a little while.

      Just like that? Like your word and mine mean nothing to you?

      Through the pouring rain, her tears, rolling down her cheeks, were invisible.

      Sestina… I need to take this job in the palace at Connier. It will give me the chance to provide better for our future.

      Is that all you care for… being better? She stared at him. Yet, all she saw was the wonderful quiet, young man she loved. No, that was not the reason he wanted to leave, she knew him better than that.

      Your mother’s wish has finally come true, she murmured between the raindrops still drizzling over them. She has never liked me, or my lineage. I will never be good enough for you.

      Please don’t believe that, Sestina. You know I don’t care about not knowing who your father is.

      Then stay with me and let’s get married now. We’ll go to Connier together. She touched his arms with hope.

      Sestina, I love you…. I would give anything for you to be with me. However, when I accepted my commission, the chancellors told me to be there in four days. So, I need to leave tomorrow. It would not look good if I do not show up on time.

      That tore her hope apart. There was nothing she could say to make him stay.

      You had it all decided before you came to see me, didn’t you? Her pain was so great that she could not stay her tongue from running on with her feelings right then.

      Sestina, please… don’t accuse me of that.

      I never matter in your plans, she cried louder. Your mother didn’t give me a chance to show her who I am. Fine then, you want to leave… leave! I don’t want to see you again.

      She spun about and left him outside in the rain, alone with his thoughts. The three-room shack that served her and her mother as their home lacked many comforts, although it abounded in love. However, at that moment, she didn’t feel it.

      What’s wrong, child? Marine, her mother, queried.

      Sestina couldn’t respond and hurried to the bedroom. The sounds of her disconsolate sobs were almost loud enough to cover the rain falling down on the thin roof of her house. Her mother followed her and sat to caress her hair, in silence. She had been unselfish like that for as long as Sestina had memories of her. How could she tell her that Ottin had chosen to leave her behind?

      It will all work out the way it should, my girl, she heard her whisper, after a lot of tears. Don’t try to force him to choose, Sestina. I tried that with your father and he abandoned me, with child.

      He didn’t let me choose, Mother, he didn’t let me give my opinion.

      It’s disheartening to see my life being relived by my daughter, she replied. Ottin belongs with his people in Connier. You knew that he would return there some day.

      But, I thought he would take me with him, Mother.

      He is from a good family and they want the best for him. You can’t blame them.

      And I am not the best, am I? she cried.

      A wife and children do change the future of a man, my daughter. It alters the possibilities and the places from which they can choose. You are young and have your whole life before you.

      Isn’t he doing the same as my father did? He is leaving me for a better future.

      "He isn’t your father, Sestina. Your father did love me enough to marry me. He never thought out what would happen in our future after our rash actions. Ten years my senior, I left the thinking to him.

      Ottin has done a lot of thinking, about your future together. I suppose his parents have too, and their conclusion is what you are seeing now.

      You educated me, Mother. I can stand by any of them and keep my ground.

      Your father, the son of a chancellor, had more education than me, you see. I met him when he was stationed for two years as an ambassador to Kaloma. Before we were married he taught me how to be a lady, my letters, how to eat, sit and what and when to talk. I have passed all this on to you, to give you a better future.

      Why didn’t you go to a better place, where you could use all that knowledge to help us and our future, Mother? She sobbed a little more.

      I never left, in case he changed his mind and came back to us, she answered. With the passing of the years, I lost my hope for a father for you and the place you should have had in society.

      Mother, please tell me who my father is. Is he alive? Why did he never help you give us a better life?

      That information won’t change our future, my child, the woman patted her hand. I would never take his money. The truth is, I should have done some thinking then and I didn’t. I have no excuse for delivering you into this world without a father.

      Life would have been quite different if Father had stayed with us, wouldn’t it?

      "At your age now, he could have found
