"I was only away for almost a month and when I came back you're already married and she's even pregnant? What did she done to you? Are you still in your right mind, Matthew?!"
Consort Jing shouted. She thought that woman had done something to his precious son. She cannot accept the fact that Lady Yanna is carrying his child. Hindi siya tanga at alam niyang hindi ang anak niya ang ama ng batang dinadala nito.
Una pa lang ay hindi na niya gusto ang dalaga. She always found her making out together with the third prince. Pasikreto niyang pinapasundan ang dalaga at nalaman nga niyang hindi gusto ni Yanna ang anak niya. She even found out that Lady Yanna wanted to kill her son. Kaya hindi niya matanggap na nasa puder ito ng anak niya. Hindi niya matanggap na naging asawa ito ni Matthew. Sigurado siyang nagpapanggap lamang ang dalaga na may sakit at may amnesia. At sigurado din siyang may pinainom o ginawa ito sa anak niya para pakasalan ito agad-agad. She is best known for creating any kinds of medicine and poisons kaya sigurado siyang baka may pinainom itong gayuma kay Matthew.
She looked at her son.
But he looks good and fine. She didn't find any wrong with him at sa tingin niya ay nasa tamang pag-iisip naman ang anak niya.
"Mother, please calm down." Mahinahong sabi ni Matthew.
He knew her mom doesn't like Yanna and she will oppose their wedding that's why he decided to marry her quickly.
"How can I calm down if I found out that you married the girl that tried to kill you once?!"
"Mother..."
"Divorce her!"
Natigilan si Matthew.
"Mother you know I can't do that."
"I will tell the emperor. I will do everything–"
"You know you can't." Putol ni Matthew sa ina niya.
"His majesty didn't opposed our wedding and infact he was happy with my decision and he even blessed us."
"Oh my God. Tell me this isn't happening."
Napahawak sa sentido si Consort Jing sa sinabi ng anak. Sumasakit ang ulo niya sa mga nalamang balita.
"Matthew, do you even know what you are doing? Do you even know the caused of it? The fact that you married her will give shame to us. To me. It will also add the fight between you and the crown prince. And for the fact that the crown prince has a power and in a higher rank... I'm afraid it will cause your life. He can easily kill you just by his words without using his hands. Matthew... "
Halos mawalan na ng sasabihin si consort Jing sa anak at halos mapaiyak na lang.
"I know mother. But trust me with this. I know what I am doing. I am doing this for a reason. And I know that my brother cannot harm me in public if I don't do anything wrong. He have his name to protect."
Alam niyang hindi siya basta-bastang maipapatay ng kapatid niya. Dahil sa totoo lang ay alam naman ng lahat na mas malakas pa siya dito. He was just weak in the people and his father's eyes because of his unmerged powers.
"Oh God. Please help me."
"Are you sure that you are the father of her child?" Paninugurado ni Consort Jing.
She cannot love a child that is not her bloodline most especially from her enemy's bloodline.
Matagal bago nakasagot si Matthew.
"I... Am."
"I cannot accept her." She answered truthfully.
"I know mother. But please trust me. Lady Yanna has lost her memory. She doesn't know anyone except me. I am the only one she can trust now."
