Chapter 69 A Chance To Right His Wrongs

• Sultan Jamal paced around the carriage, wondering if he hadn't made a mistake in bringing Roksolana to meet her family. When he got tired of pacing about, he entered into the carriage and sat. He wondered what they were discussing about at the moment. It was probably about the thousand ways they should kill him for lying to them. What if Roksolana refused to follow him back now that she knew that her family was alive? He hadn't thought the plan through before he brought her over. He had just wanted to make her happy at that moment. He got tired of waiting in the carriage and got down again. Twice, he walked up to the door but managed to refrain himself at the last minute. When he guessed that he had given them enough time to bond, he told a guard to get Lady Roksolana from the house and watched as the guard disappeared into the house. He was kicking his right leg back and forth when the guard emerged with Roksolana. Jamal breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her alone and unarmed.
• Roksolana saw the look of worry on the Sultan's face and nearly laughed. She could guess what he had been thinking about before she arrived. He must have thought that it wouldn't be too hard for them to overpower him if they wanted to fight against him for their freedom. She would have thought the same way too if she were him. Roksolana walked up to him and thanked him for bringing her here. He held out his palm for her and she took it. Jamal helped her to climb up the carriage before he got in too. All through the carriage ride, Jamal kept staring at her to see if her reaction to him had changed. While she was grateful to him for sparing her family, she still couldn't find it in herself to forgive him. However, she decided to compromise with him.
• "I promise I won't kill you again because you spared my family," Roksolana told him.
