Grandmother led the way to her room. The women stared and gossip when she passed. Queen Valeria had to shout at them in order to stop the murmurings that were going on. They were happy that the old woman got scolded.
"Did you see what your son has turned me in to a laughing stuff in the Harem ?" Grandmother asked, climbing the stairs. She heard their little gossips.
Queen Aslaug was startled. She did not expect grandmother to raise the issue again.
"Mother, what do you mean ? I understand..."
"Don't pretend you did not see how he shunned me at the door , few minutes ago" Grandmother reminded her. Though they had a quarrel, she was expecting Sargon to come to her and asked forgiveness. It was well understood that he had no control over his anger.
