After that disastrous meeting with her father, Sylvia pretty much stayed inside her chamber for the next few weeks. She hardly came out, and she didn't speak much either.
Though she had lost in that courtroom, and the King had even asked her never to bring up this topic again, she still was not close to giving up on the idea. Not a chance.
The incident left Sylvia feeling deflated. She had been so sure that her father would see the logic in her argument and support her in her cause, but he had shut her down completely.
Despite this, Sylvia remained determined to pursue her goal. She knew that her father was set in his ways and unlikely to change his mind, but that didn't mean she was going to give up without a fight.
Over the course of the next few weeks, she spent countless hours researching, strategizing, and planning her next move.
