Angie's POV:

He can always make me feel so much better...

But then there are people that just live to bring me down...

I keep trying to be strong and remember what he tells me all the time, but it's not so easy sometimes...

Mostly when even his mother hates me and just pushes me around like a punching bag, or some shit like that.

But keep being strong.

Yeah.

I just don't know who's side I should be...

I want to be on my own side, but I'm nobody in this palace.

No one likes me and I have no power over anyone at all.

But I'm keeping up.

----- TIME SKIP -----

Fights after fights I had with the same girls all the time and I've completely forgotten about everything else...

Until one evening when I was suddenly pulled to the Sultan's room...

And by pulled I mean literally pulled by two guards and I have no idea why.

When we arrived I found myself in front of the boiling Handan Sultan.

She was so angry...

- Finally you're here! - she hissed.

- What happened?! Why was I pulled here like that?!

- Like if you didn't know!

- No, I don't know and I'd really appreciate if you wouldn't be shouting at me like this!

- Look over there and you'll know! - she said as she pointed towards the bed.

So far I didn't look over there, but when I did I was shocked to see Herman laying there, looking really sick and didn't seem to even hear his mother shouting at me at all.

- Wha... What happened?? - I asked in shock now.

- Like if you didn't know! It's you, who did this!

- What?! No, I didn't! I haven't even met him for days now! How could I do this?! Whatever... Did actually happen to him...

I could have talked for hours, but she wouldn't have believed me anyway.

He sent me down into the cell and for punishment and I can consider myself lucky that she didn't order my execution right away, all thanks to Dervish Pasha, who...

I don't know.

I don't even care.

All I want to know is what happened to Herman...

He seemed so sick...

What happened...

I didn't do anything bad to him...

Whoever was it clearly wants him dead, but why would I want to kill the only person that keeps me alive here?!

Why...
