Insolent, Immoral Woman
After visiting Esther, king Theron returned to his study and busied himself with work to get rid of any disturbing and hurting thoughts. After a while, a knight announced his mother's arrival.
The older lady arrived to see his son.
"Mother," he bowed to her.
Accepting the greeting, she sat in a chair and Theron went to sit in the chair next to her.
"Did you go see Esther?" she asked.
He simply nodded.
"I believe you were good to her," she commented.
"Apologies for disappointing your mother." He accepted that he was not good to her and the guilt was written on his face.
"I know you are hurt and so is she. The situation she is in, you need to be good to her. You know you have to raise that child as your own."
