@Aisling "I've had four children," the father answered. "Mircea, Vladi, Radu and another illegitimate son, also named Vlad. Some claim I've had more illegitimate children, but at least, I don't know of them... I was turned in 1447, on December 2nd."
You didn't have any girls then. What happened to the other three that are not here? And once you mentioned that the way Vladd is today was your fault. Why?
@Aisling "Mircea was murdered in 1447 and Vlad died of old age, more than 50 years ago," the father answered. "Radu is still alive, but he's turned away from us."
@Aisling "He was at the Sultan's court together with Vladi," the father explained. "There, he met Mehmed - the Sultan's son - and they fell in love with each other. So, he turned away from us and fought with the Ottomans."
@Aisling "I would accept him back, but I'm not sure whether Vladi would..." the father answered. "It's not because he's gay. It's because he's decided to fight with the Ottomans, although he saw what they did to me..." Dracula added.
Sorry, Vlad. That is a heart breaking story. Mine is bad enough but I'd never survive what you have gone through..... Mystique became very quiet in her thoughts as she gazed at Fiona laying on the bed with her doll.
Whip whelps on top of welts and scars... none were ever cared for. Some areas look like they were infected as well. I'd bet your back was one large bleeding sore and for many years after that happened. How cruel people can be is unfathomable to me.
Tears began to flow down Mystique's face for the first time since she was a baby when she last allowed tears to flow.
@Aisling "Radu was Sultan's favourite, but me? I was nothing but the bad brother," Dracula said. "They raped and tortured me every second day, over a time of five years... my whole body looks like my back..."
Because he was gay? I don't think that I want to meet Radu because he didn't stand up for his father or brother. Families should stick together as one.
Was the sultan's son that good looking or was he that spoiled that he got everything that he wanted? I just can't fathom being gay..... Mystique was confused totally.
So what is the big deal about such a man? It stands so reason in my mind why anyone would go near him unless they were extremely well paid let along having sex with him! There has to be some kind of reason like saving his own skin yet allow..... Lets just say that Mehmed would be an excellent weapon for the sultan and that was the only use for him....
@Aisling "I don't know why Radu fell in love with him... I only know that he really was. It wasn't about the money. We've had enough of that," Dracula said.
I have serious doubts that I ever will see Radu so I am not going to worry about him. How is loan doing? I hope that I didn't disturb his rest. The poor guy must have really had his head hit hard.
