Lord
Ullin sent message to me asking me to meet him in the court. I rushed
to the court thinking that he would discuss strategies for invading
the neighbouring kingdom. As soon as I reached the court I saw Lord
Ullin's eyes were full of tears. I was taken aback as I could not
understand why he was crying. After sometime he told me that his
daughter eloped with the chieftain to marry him. Lord Ullin told me
that he was totally against his daughter's wish to marry her lover.
Lord Ullin ordered me to organise men and march immediately to nab
the chieftain with whom his daughter eloped. I immediately organised
the cavalry and rushed out of the court in search of the chieftain.
Lord Ullin wanted to accompany us. He was crying. At the same time he
was very angry with the Chieftain and wished to kill him if found. I
tried to console him again and again. On this day we were clueless
about the whereabouts of Lord Ullin's daughter and her lover. We went
to sleep at night but could not sleep peacefully.
5th
June 1664
I woke up
from sleep very early and planned with Lord Ullin about our search
operation. We were clueless. We asked the local people if they had
seen Lord Ullin's daughter and the chieftain. An old man told us that
he had seen the chieftain along with Lord Ullin's daughter going
towards the sea.
I at once
got the message that they were trying to escape to a place where Lord
Ullin's army could not reach. I directed my men to move towards the
sea so that we could reach very fast and arrest the chieftain. We
marched and marched, faster and faster. The weather was very stormy
and unfavourable. Clouds thundered. There was lightening. Lord Ullin
was full of anguish and anger. He was crying and crying. He told us
that we had to be successful in our mission. He did not eat anything.
I tried to console him. I never saw him so disturbed .
6th
June 1664
Early in
the morning I woke up and directed my men to move towards the sea.
Thundering clouds were there. There was turbulence everywhere. As
soon as we reached the sea shore we saw Lord Ullin's daughter along
with her lover sailing a boat. The sea was so turbulent. The waves
were surging. I was sure that some misfortune with Lord Ullin's
daughter was going to happen. What I anticipated it happened. The
boat carrying Lord Ullin's daughter and her lover capsized. I was so
shocked to see Lord Ullin. He started howling. He wanted to rush
towards the sea to rescue his daughter. But it was beyond his
capacity. I saw his daughter waving her hand asking for help. Lord
Ullin was helpless. I saw him lamenting. He told me that he was
taking back his order for arresting the chieftain and his daughter.
But it was all in vain. I saw Lord Ullin's daughter drowning in the
turbulent sea along with her lover. It was so pathetic to see a
father witnessing the death his daughter helplessly. I could not
sleep or eat that day. It was so pathetic.
