Slowly, Abeed walked around to face his mother. He looked at her closely, then lifted her chin and said, "Oh possessor of beauty and grace, I seek your forgiveness, my proud mother. In front of the king, there is no one before you or behind you. You are the first, you are foremost. No one has the right to stand in front of you and deny your beauty, grace, and elegance." She playfully slapped his head and laughed, saying, "You, prince, are treating me like one of your wives?" He smiled and said, "There is no woman dearer to me than you, my mother. No one can challenge you as long as I am around without losing a finger. So, you will always be my beloved."

A feeling of great joy spread across Queen Jidda's face because she always loved being praised, and whatever she commanded had to be done. Since their time in the Sudanese royal palace, no one had ever raised a hand against her without facing consequences. Queen Jidda had authority and power, and she did not allow anything into the palace that she did not establish. For this reason, her co-wife, Fulani Khadija, followed her every move cautiously. There was a time when Jidda slapped Fulani Khadija for breaking a rule. Ever since Abeed was little, she had loved him because at that time, God had not yet blessed her with children. Later, she had a son and then twin daughters, but she did not have any more children after that.

Queen Jidda had five children in total: one son and four daughters. She had already married off two of her daughters, Hasiya and Husna. Now, she had Hajara and Bilkisu left.

Only Hajara inherited Queen Jidda's traits, having authority, power, and a disregard for others. Regardless of one's status, she would insult them and ensure they were disrespected.

The next morning, early at dawn, Fulani personally went to her son Prince Abeed's quarters. He was engrossed in reading the Holy Quran. She entered, looking at her son with admiration, her love for him growing. He was deeply religious and always had the Quran as his companion. He studied in Europe for 15 years, but even there, he had no friends except one, Al'amin, who was just like Abeed in terms of religious devotion.
