King Solomon had been troubled by Esmeralda's words. How could he marry her? He was already married to Queen Amara. He couldn't divorce the queen for just a mere servant.
However, he couldn't give up on Esmeralda. He was so in love with her. He was too possessive of her. He couldn't let her go.
The thought of Esmeralda marrying another man was driving him mad. He wouldn't let that happen.
'Esme is mine! She is mine. And she loves me back.'
"I have to continue pretending. Or maybe, she will still agree to become my mistress once she finds out I am the King. Esme will not reject me because I am the King of this kingdom."
"What do you think about it, Zaldy?" King Solomon turned to his loyal servant, Zaldy. He was the only person who knew about King Solomon's secret.
Zaldy was also the one protecting Esmeralda under the command of King Solomon.
