"no mom, I will come there tomorrow, please hang in there mom, let me go home to pack now" Nnenas mother was very ill, Nnena drove home, she found yildiz and Randy in the throne room, they just had a meeting, she was crying
"what is it nnena?" yildiz asked
"it's my mother mom, she's very ill, it's been two weeks now, but last week she told me she was better, then father called me yesterday, and I also spoke to mom today, you could tell from her voice that she's not well" she was crying
"oh nnena, I'm sorry my baby, let me drive you home, the guard will follow us with your car, you need to be there, she needs you" yildiz said, nnena agreed, then the guards followed behind, they arrived there by midnight, around 1 am.
Nnenas mother was very ill, her stomach was swollen, the king was about her to rush her to the hospital
"was her stomach like this in the morning?" nnena asked
"no, it just started swelling a few minutes ago, I called the ambulance" the king said
"what are your son's and their wives saying, I mean they're all nurses and doctors" nnena said
"nnena as you can see, I'm alone in the house, they all moved out early this year, this house started being unbearable, there suddenly wasn't peace, the love just vanished, your mother suddenly changed, she became something else, so I told your brothers to move out because your mother didn't want their wives" tue king said, yildiz heard
"did you at least call them father?" nnena asked
"i did, but I can't force them to come, not after what your mother put them through" the king said
Nnenas mother started moaning from pain, her stomach turned green
"Nnena my daughter I'm sorry" she struggled to say those words, nnena held her hand
"mom please hang on, help will come soon" nnena said
"I don't need help, I just wanted to see you before I die" she said
"no mother, you will not die, please mom" nnena cried, yildiz too couldn't bear the heartbreak
"nnena I tought you the dark side of life, and I shouldn't have, I've found out thay your future will be ruined, you'll be punished from everything I've been encouraging you to do, and helping you, so I wanted to change the destiny by sacrificing myself, to plea with the ancestors to forgive you, us, I'm sorry my baby, but I killed myself" she said, it took a lot of strength from her to say those words, by the time she was done, she was sweating, she started panting and breathing heavily, the health care workers came, they took her to the hospital, nnena and the king along with yildiz followed, by the time they got there, she was dead.
nnena cried so hard, yildiz couldn't console her, her brothers later came with their wives, they all cried, it was av very sad scene. yildiz called home to tell them that nnenas mother passed away, so Roman has to come so she can leave.
Roman arrived around 5 pm late, during the day one of the daughters in-law told yildiz what happened thay led to them moving out, apparently Nnenas mother killed one of her son's son to sacrifice so that Roman will love nnena more that zamar, so they found out when the king was forced to call a seer because the son wanted to know how exactly his son died, one minute he was fine then the next he just fell and died, that's when the seer told them that Nnena mother is responsible, and she wasbalso responsible for the miscarriage of the other one, she wasn't meaning any harm, but she had to defend herself after the revelation, which then led to a very big fight, so the king suggested they all buy houses of their own, he visited them, slept at their houses because his wife was something different, he also feared for his life, but he didn't want to chase her away since their bond was more than just marriage, which left yildiz wondering what's more than marriage that binds them.
Roman spent a week there, the burial was at night, yildiz and Randy came, zamar had to remain with the kids, it was so sad, there were so many people considering the wives they have and they're all royalties, it was a dignified funeral which shows that how a person lives, is not really what matters, what matters is the soul that most people who are unlucky never gets to clean, the expenses 0f the burial might be very high to justify your pockets, but the grave will.never be too deep to burry your sins
after the funeral, yildiz and Randy drove home as late as it was, they arrived home around 4 am in the morning.
nnena spent another week home with Roman and her brothers, by the time she came back, she wasn't well, the death took a toll on her, but mostly she wanted to confess her sins, the question is if she'll stop after her confession or she'll continue since jealousy resides in her heart. when they got home, she called a meeting and told them about the herbs, they weren't surprised, they already knew, she asked for forgiveness but zamar wasn't going to forgive her anytime soon, she was just calm because that's her nature.
three months passed by, zamar and nnena were pregnant, they found out on the same day, and again, they were two months, they're due on the same date, it was such a shock, nnena was carrying twin girls, zamar was carrying triplet boys, something the seer never mentioned, Roman was just too happy to care about the responsibilities, he's going to have ten kids, but who cares, his parents were happy too, time flew, the ladies gave birth, no complications this time around, nnena also haven't done anything sinister yet, the two girls were named Nihal and zynet, then the boys were Halit, Hassan and kemal. Roman hired four stay in nannies because yildiz wouldn't cope with 5 kids alone, and his wives also needed to rest.
Roman spoiled his wives, he made sure to treat them the same way, even though he knew that nnenas days were numbered here, he didn't want to anger her, especially after after he heard tue story about what her mother did, he knew deep down that nnena has the same dark side, and she'll strike again, he assured zamar that he loves her and only her, zamar fortunately is not a very jealous type, she's understanding and accepts what she gets.
zamar wanted to start a business, she wanted to quit working with the team, mostly because she wasn't able to keep up anymore, so she asked Roman to fund her to start a boutique, she's good with designing and sewing clothes, all she needed was people with the same talent but are not employed and have no experience, because she didn't want to work with miss goodie shoes.
nnena had that Roman funded her, she became very jealous again. she was a time ticking bomb, she watched as zamar built the boutique from scratch, she watched it becoming what she wanted it to be, a successful business, she fought the urge to bewitch her, but seeing how popular the boutique was becoming, she didn't want that, she wanted it to be as small she zamar said it should be, so she wanted to crush it down.
the kids turned yildiz the princess turned 10, Raymond 7, then the last five turned 5, they were all in school, yildiz the queen is 62, Randy is 72, and Roman is 34, he's now very active in the rolling of the kingdom, he goes to council meetings, throne room meetings, he addresses the community and does everything that needs the king to deal with, the seer is now very old, he's no longer able to assist them, so there was a certain lady by the name Sanity, she just finished her initiation, she was then introduced to the royal family by the seer's last born child, she was initiated by the seer himself, but hes not strong to bring her to the palace, so his child did, she also is a seer but she works differently, sanity is in her early twenties, 22 to be specific, she is a virgin, and will remain a virgin until she dies.
Roman became very restless when the new seer came, he thought of what the old seer told him years back when he said he will be very sick, then die, then the king and the queen will follow, he wondered who will go first, his mother or his father, but the seer didn't die that year, and the following, and the following, so he began to be at ease, he stopped counting, he stopped being alert, his focus was on his kids mostly, itnwas as if no one existed except them, yildiz is now 13, she's doing grade 9 in girls school, Raymond is in grade 7, he's 10 years in boys school, the last five are 8 also in schools based on theor genders, they are international schools, they offer the best in the world, there are different activities that suits kids capabilities, and Roman attended the school so he knows how good it is.
