Meeting The Sultana [Prt.1 COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 23

I got up from my seat when the Sultana entered with some palace guards. I bowed to show my greetings and my humility to the Sultana.

"Good morning My Sultana". I greeted her.

"You can leave us now". The Sultana orders her companions.

I straightened up and waited for her to say something. This time she was wearing a very beautiful green dress, navy green was the color of her dress overlaid with brilliant diamonds and emeralds at the waist. She is a very nice creature that I want to study.

"Good morning to you too Mr. Ferderico, you looked like you slept well last night". She said and she approached the cabinets to take out the red wine.

"I slept well and I'm sure of that". I replied to what she said, I remembered the good night I had with Zabea so my smile reached my ears even more.

"The smile you are showing today means something. I hope you have a good stay here Mr. Ferderico, I just wanted to say that you can come out of your room and visit my constituency if you wish". She said at length.

I nodded and smiled, I grabbed my neck tie and looked down, her beauty was too much for my eyes, every diamond she had on her attire was enticing.

"Maybe in the next few days I'll be able to do what you want Sultana.". I replied.

"Don't worry Mr. Ferderico, you can move well in my constituency if you have no malice and intent. You will remain protected in my place if you do nothing wrong". She explained to me. I swallowed but hid it from her so that she would not suspect me.

"You can go around when our meeting is over". Her eyes glazed over threateningly but I ignored it.

I don’t know if she smells my bad intentions as to why I am here, I don’t know what can happen to me but whether in my death or the result, I will still do my mission.

I can’t afford to disappoint the dream that Ishmael and I have and the amount of money that Habriel offered.

"Can I go with the Handmaid assigned for me?". I looked at her, I felt and saw her eyebrows rise so I suddenly spoke again.

"I wouldn't do it if that was a law in your palace Sultana.". My answer.

"No problem there Mr. Ferderico, my handmaids know their limit and if they violate surely they too can be punished with death". She answered me.

I gripped the neck tie I was wearing tightly and remembered Zabea. Why didn't she tell me that the punishment would be so severe if they also violated it?

"Law and death? Doesn't it violate human rights?". I asked her.

She laughed foolishly and looked back at me, she poured a little wine into her wine glass and turned around so I couldn't see any detail on her face.

"You know what Sultana, you don't have to answer my question and you don't even have to turn away from me every time you drink wine, Just tell me when you will drink and I will adjust". I suggested.

The Sultana is silent and she still turns her back, she is drinking wine and I think the hijab is a big obstacle to enjoy the wine.

The wines here are delicious and I wanted to ask for one for Ishmael but I knew that not everything was demanded.

"Just to answer your question Mr. Ferderico". She turned around and her eyes returned to me. I still can't see her eyes which would have been a clue to the detail of her face.
