Ainsley knew what it meant. The hallucinations. The shaking fever which awoke her from her restless sleep. Coughing and dizziness whenever she wanted to get up from her bed. She has fallen under the sickness. For a few days Ainsley was able to pretend she was well. She could hold back the coughing, she could push back the dreadful hallucinations.

But, it started to show. Oh, show too much. One day, Ainsley was unable to get out from her bed. Even though she declared it was nothing, her parents wouldn't let her out of her bed.

When she thought she was doomed to be alone until she either dies or recovers, someone knocked on the door. "Yes?" Ainsley coughed out.

"Of course." Alycia stepped forward, flashing the other woman a tentative smile. "Is there any comfort I could give you? You seem to be struggling."

[lady-ofthesea]

No, not really, but thank you.

[adarkangelofsin]

"Because I’ve been wronged?"

[lady-ofthesea]

I know that. But, why do you wish taking vengeance? Why not being better person?

[norahofvictory]

"Have you?" Norah arched her eyebrow. "How may I assist you?"

[lady-ofthesea]

I need an advice, if you are willing to give it.

[lady-ofthesea]

[adarkangelofsin]

"What happens when the revenge you lived for is no longer… Doable?"

[lady-ofthesea]

"Why do you wish on exacting revenge?"

[norahofvictory]

"I am sorry, but the shop is closed for today."

[lady-ofthesea]

"I know it is, but I was looking for you, actually."

[kingantonyvitello]

"Is it time already?"

[lady-ofthesea]

"Not yet, my lord." Ainsley stood slightly behind him and turned her warm smile towards the heir to the throne. "I have come to see if you need someone to talk to."

Alycia couldn’t stand the false expressions of sadness the people of the Keep were shining with. It was exhausting to keep up the appearance the death devastated her and so the young Cromwell decided to take a walk down to the sea. When she caught sight of a vaguely familiar blonde head, she approached her despite the desire to be alone. “The same thing as you, I imagine.”

[lady-ofthesea]

"It seems like solitude is impossible to get these days, milady. You are, however, very welcome to join me, if you would like."

[norahofvictory]

"I came to watch the sea. It is calming for a troubled mind."

[lady-ofthesea]

"indeed it is. Sit with me, please."

[lady-ofthesea]

Ainsley was sitting by the sea, looking at the calm surface. She was far from the castle, far from the turmoil. She wanted to be alone. However, it seemed like solitude is something fate will not grant her on this dark and sad day. "What are you doing here?" She turned her head towards the person standing next to her.

Holden leaned against the wall and slid to the floor, resting his head in his hands. At the noise of someone entering, he glanced up, having not expected guests. “What is it? Come to tell me someone else is dead?” 

[lady-ofthesea]

"N -- No. I came to give you my condolences. I know how much you cared for your brother, even thought you didn't let it show." Ainsley bowed her head slightly to lord Holden.

"What the fuck do you want?”

[lady-ofthesea]

Comfort you, Phillipe. You should not mourn alone.

[enigmatic-moster]

"So the King is dead. Here comes uprising."

[lady-ofthesea]

I thought so too. There are too many people willing to seize the throne.

[jealously-spiteful]

[lady-ofthesea]

Well, you are the first to smile on a such sad day.

[lady-ofthesea]

Are you not enjoying the cool breeze? They say the air is most fresh by the sea and I believe they are right."

[theirlinktohumanity]

"Are you really sure about that?"

[lady-ofthesea]

"No, not really."
