Esther's mind was in chaos as she was worried about disappointing the people who loved her and protected her.
When Prince Theron came to her bedchamber that night, he saw her nightgown-clad body standing by the window, immersed in deep thoughts. She didn't even realize his presence in the room, which meant she was worrying about something she could not easily solve.
"May I know what my lovely wife is thinking about?" Prince Theron asked as he went towards her. "It deeply hurts her husband to be ignored on such a cold night."
His voice pulled her out of her thoughts and she looked at him. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't hear the door. I just..It's nothing…"
He stood in front of her and looked deep into her eyes. "If the crease on your forehead is real, then I don't think it's nothing. Tell me, what is it? Maybe I can help?"
Under his gentle urging, Esther could no longer hide it from him and told him what happened in the royal harem in the morning.
