Chapter 1 – requested but declined and pained

Ibrahim's POV

"Is there a ghost in here?" I asked the paranormal experts who also had a medium at their hand.

"We can feel vibrations but we cannot define if it is positive or negative. A little bit of both it may seem. But I feel like they want to talk to us." One of the Moroi paranormal experts said.

"Let's get this over with then, I don't like mixed presences in my mansion." I said as they lead me to a round table in the living room. They had me sit beside the medium. They told me that no matter what if the ghost is violent or not I should not let go of the medium's hand. Which I personally didn't mind since I was planning on giving her my cell number, we then started on with the ritual of telling spirits that they are welcomed to borrow the medium's body. And then that's when she was possessed by a spirit.

"No one needs to fear Me." The spirit said through the medium's body. "I am Edmund Brinkingham; I am King Henry the eighth's spokesman and negotiator for all of you. The King personally wishes that there be no violence present during this discussion." The spirit continued on. I then calmed down a little and started to feel a little bit more comfortable with the on going situation.

"Ok so … why exactly is his majesty here?" The leader of the group asked. We all started not to joke about this situation. Since we all know how his reign was when he was still breathing air.

"His majesty would only like to make a simple request." Edmund said. I don't know why but I have a feeling it might make me quite uncomfortable.

"And what is His majesty's request?" The leader asked further.

"His Majesty… would like to have a …friendship with Ibrahim's daughter. Rosemarie Hathaway." Edmund said. He then waited for my reaction.

"A…friendship …I'm sorry but I do not understand." I said. Why is King Henry interested to have a friendship with Rose?

"Um…Ibrahim, his majesty is …quite interested in Rose, and would be more than pleased if she joined him at court." He said. But then I wonder…

"And how exactly can Rose join court of the…other side if she is still living. I don't want to kill my own daughter." I replied to him. I hate anything that would have me kill anyone. Even the daughter I have never known. And she is Janine's daughter…

"Rose is shadow kissed and is therefore able to be with the wandering dead as if they were still alive .To the point where they can have a child together." Edmund said, once again letting any emotional reaction come first before he can continue on.

"But Rose is only eighteen aren't you thinking she may be a bit, too young for that …friendship?" I asked. I did not want to drag my daughter into this. Who knows she might already be taken. But then Edmund persisted …

"But Ibrahim, Katherine Howard was only fourteen or fifteen when she came to His Majesty's court when she was still alive. And the king did not mind it at all."

"But maybe it was also because the king did not know that she was underage when she arrived at court." The leader said. I can feel a sudden negativity in the room.

"But his majesty did say that we should let the fruit ripen before we pluck it. And according to him Rose has ripen and would really like to have her-"

"I do not wish to grant his majesty permission to take my daughter to court."

"And why would that be?" he asked.

"Because she might not be mature enough to what goes on in court life."

"But she is a guardian to a Royal Moroi so she has had a hint on what is to go on with His majesty's court."

"But she is a guardian and she is to protect us Moroi from the dreaded Strigoi. And more importantly, I hear she is one of the best in her class. Yes Edmund, she is still merely a student in ST. Vladimir. And so how will the king have that taken." I asked in total desperateness hoping that Henry would not want to have someone so immature to be at his court.

"But she is strong, and His Majesty has ways on luring her in so that will most certainly not be a problem." I can feel Edmund's eagerness to have me accept the offer given to me.

"How's about this gentleman…" The leader started out. "If Ibrahim agrees to give his majesty his daughter what can he expect in return?" He asked Edmund.

"He can expect a great deal of peace and that he will have several gifts from his majesty. Both materialistic and non-materialistic, and as well as other things in his power to please you..." Edmund was starting to become like a salesman. But even with all those favors I cannot bear the guilt that I might later experience…

"I am sorry Edmund but I cannot allow this to happen." I said.

"Well then are you sure about that?"

"Yes I am most definitely sure about my decision."

"Incase you change your mind the offer will remain open until the last hour of May 19th and now it is the last week of March so you still have a lot of time to …re think the offer." Afterwards Edmund was gone and the medium was back at place. She was merely unconscious of what was going on around her that seemed to last for a few minutes but it seemed like half or even a whole hour. Today I would not like such a thing to happen. I need to be positive today for I am to meet with the ill Queen Tatiana. Hopefully she is still recovering from the particular unknown illness.

The next day….

Rose's POV

It was the day I thought that would never come…; we are all in mourning now Queen Tatiana is dead. All those who are head of each Royal family (for now excluding the dragomirs since Lissa and I haven't graduated yet but only a month away for that) is now headed to the Royal Court to elect the next ruler.

The doctors concluded that she died because of a tumor. The Queen had hid her illness since well she doesn't want to undergo surgery. Everyone is wearing black. For 40 damned days we are not allowed to be happy and no happy moments should ever go on. This is almost equivalent when I lost Dimitri at the Strigoi rescue mission. And was forced by Lissa to come back, so I never had the chance to look for him, my heart was broken. In a weird way today was also parallel to that experience for me…

Henry's POV

"What should we do now? Her father refused to willingly give her to you." Said Charles Brandon who has been a life long friend when I was still alive…

"We wait until the mourning period is over." Suggests Thomas Cromwell whose presence is just behind me.

"But if we wait for that long that Adrian Ivashkov could possibly lure her into loving

Him." Charles replied. I secretly agree with him on that matter. But I hate it if I were being dragged on into another one of their debates ever since both entered the after life. UGH.

"How about this we shall observe her and wait for the right time to pluck it." I finally said.
