Esther returned to the Queen's palace, lost in thought about how she was going to open the sensitive topic to her husband and convince him without angering him. Time flew by quickly, and when night came, the young queen found herself worriedly pacing between the bed and the window, sometimes sitting on the mattress in a daze and sometimes gazing outside for the unlikely possibility that the carriage of her husband returned early. Even the calming tea her servants prepared for her were ineffective to calm her nerves.

After having her evening meal where she barely touched her food, she returned to her bedchamber and waited for King Theron to arrive. With each passing moment, her heart and mind were being filled with anxiety.
