4 days passed by and in the meantime we got an answer to the letter from Herman, telling us to not to move because he's coming.
- What a gentleman, huh? - my mom joked.
- Yeah, he is... - I muttered - Although it's his fault that I got into this situation...
- Don't be mad! He's your husband and your son's father after all...
At this point I suddenly heard a deep sigh from behind me.
I don't know who was it as I didn't turn around and payed more attention to it, but it sounded extremely painful.
- Yeah, that's true...
- So how about we talk a little bit?
- Huh?
- About something you really need to know about... And something that might can help you in the future when you go back...
- Okay...
She suddenly turned serious.
- Do you know that if they want you dead... You have to show them you can overpower them...
- That's what I've been trying to do, but they don't take me seriously.
- Angie... You said that the harem doesn't have a leader now, right?
- Yes - I nodded - Wait...
- I think you already know what's in my mind, don't you?
- Yes, but...
- Then make him choose you, damnit!
- Mother...
- They already have pushed you out of the way, Angeles! - she suddenly snapped at me - You have kids to take care of and you need to gain power if you want to do that!
I didn't know what to say.
I knew she was more than right in this and I knew I was still weak to do anything at all.
But while talking like this suddenly we hear Lorenzo shouting outside:
- CALM DOWN, PEOPLE! THEY AREN'T HERE TO HURT US!
This distracted us completely and we went outside to see 3 boats with the flag of the Ottoman Empire which could only mean one thing:
- Herman!
