King Mars of Finland had first seen Sally on a dance show in late 1984. Like Solid Gold, Finland had a show called the Finish top 10. He had found out that Sally's father was one of the individuals who was part of his security detail. At the time he was married to someone that he didn't love. Shortly thereafter their relationship began and was on and off for over 10 years.
It was very late at night in Finland but the King had stayed up to watch the civil trial relating to Harvey Johnson whose family was suing the US government. Most of the character attacks had been on Molly Robertson but Sally Robertson had also been attacked.
Even though it had been over 20 years since the King had spoken Sally, he could read her like a book. She knew more than she was saying about her niece. But this really didn't concern him. He was more concerned about it getting out that she'd had a affair with him on and off for several years while he was still married to his first wife.
Shortly after her father died, her mother became ill, she had gone back to the States for good. She was getting too old for him as she was in her mid 30's. He told her that they needed some time away from each other and encouraged her to go to Florida to care for her mother. He said he would call when he was ready to see her again. He gave her a parting gift which was a very large sum of money. Then he never contacted her again.
