Though King Theron had guessed why his mother was here, King Theron still asked, "May I know the reason for this visit, Mother?"
"I am sure my smart son can guess it without much effort," she replied.
King Theron tiredly massaged his aching temples. "My apologies, mother. But I don't know what I should do either. I cannot make Esther understand that there is no need for me to get a concubine. She refuses to talk to me!"
"I understand you, my son, but you are only giving importance to your own feelings and thoughts."
"It's not like that, Mother…."
"Do you think she is doing it for herself?"
He shook his head.
"Or you think she is only doing it for this kingdom?"
At that, the young king sneered. "She wants me to have an heir for this kingdom—"
"The main reason she decided this is you, Theron. Only for you. This is a decision Esther made for your sake, and the other reasons were simply additional advantages that came together with it," the old queen sighed.
