that mission required substantial physical strength, which
he had.
Just as he mastered that plan, Frederick had planned
its conclusion, which was running away. He had gathered
his mother, brothers, and sisters and told them about his
plan. He then sent them somewhere unknown far from
Widea Kingdom. After killing Heather he rode a horse and
took off very quickly to somewhere that no human, jinn, or
a king grieved by the death of his beloved wife knew.
When Queen Wenonah heard the tragic news, she became
very sad.
She preferred to wait a few days before talking to
her son, because she knew that his fury could burn
everyone around him.
After a few days, she went to her son, who was in
his room, sitting on his bed with his head down staring at
the floor. His grief was so huge. When she saw him, she
started crying.
“Hello, Matthew,” she said but he did not reply.
She added, “How are you, Matthew?”
He did not reply, as he sat there like a statue, which
made her suspect that he had become deaf.
She realized that there was no point in persistence, so she
decided to say what she had prepared in the last few days.
“I know, Son, that no one can feel as sad as you are, but
you need to have patience and be strong. God gave you the
great gift of ruling when you were still young. In return, he
tested you with even greater things, taking away the ones
you loved the most, your father and Heather.
