HALF FACE (Get lost into the parallel Time)

SIX DIGITS

Zülfüleyfe, leaving the room in a disappointed mood, walked down the barely lightened corridor watching the scenery from the windows on the left side.

She saw her father with two other men on the far corner of the garden.

This was an ordinary sight since there were always people visiting her father to deliver reports on the affairs. She diverted to the kitchen to see Sariye before going to her room.

Five minutes after she entered the kitchen, she heard Mihca's door close. "Let him go rapidly so that we can have some time to talk" she thought.

Sariye was also eager to learn the details but she, herself has not learned much yet. As a matter of fact, Mihca's words baffled her mind even further.

An hour and a half have passed when the kitchen door was tapped. It was no one but Mihca.

"Zülfüleyfe, my girl, come, let's continue our talk if you wish"

"Of course, Sir, I'll be with you in a minute," Zülfüye answered jumping to her feet.

But she suddenly halted realizing that it was, after all, a very prompt response. Her master has proceeded five-six meters when she came through the door.

She followed him with rapid steps catching up at the entrance of the room door. There was a slight change in Mihca's face after all being said and heard.

He moved in with a confused and sad expression on his face. Zülfüleyfe closed the door and sat across her master.

"Sometimes, my girl, words and actions fail me. Whatever you desire or avoid somehow pursue you. "

"Sir, what happened? Why are you talking like this? What happened between you and my father?"

"I will tell you all my girl. Let me first pull myself together."

"My mind is already confused, does this mean it is going to be worse?"

"I guess the situation is as such. Let me begin explaining before long so that you would not be worried even more"

Mihca took a deep breath and leaned backward.

"As I have already told you, this journey of ours was not only to sort out your father's affairs. He sent two more of his men to different cities.

He wants you to get married and he sent these men to seek proper candidates for this purpose"

"How so! How did my father get this idea?"

"My girl, your father has a point. You have reached marriage age. Let us talk not about this but the details of the situation. The specifications your father requires in these candidates are; being clever, quick thinking and most important of all, excellent war skills."

"I mean, from logical perspective, it is important that the man I would marry is clever, but I do not understand the part about war skills!"

"Well you know your father. He craves for all kinds of power and definitely likes to be powerful. Due to his warrior character and the fact that there is too much evil in the outside world, he wants someone who would protect you no matter what.

Your father chose three people throughout our journey. That is because his selection criteria are much tougher than the other two men who came back with nine candidates.

To sum thigs up, there are a total of twelve candidates. I personally saw only one of them but I shall not tell you where and how I saw him for the sake of not influencing your decision."
