The king and the queen spared themselves from each other.Simon saw another woman coming towards them.She was young,tall and beautiful with blonde hair and blue eyes.She was carrying a baby in her arms.Another young woman was coming beside her.Simon looked at Nestan Darejan and pointed out the stranger:
-My darling,who are these women?I couldn't recognize them at all.
-How could you recognize them if you are not familiar with them?...The blonde woman with blue eyes is your daughter-in-law,Giorgi's wife-Tamar Mariam Lipartiani.Giorgi got married with her in 1578,months before your arrival to the kingdom of Kartli.She is carrying your grandson-Davit.Come here you two!
Tamar Mariam and her maid approached Simon and Nestan Darejan.
-I am honoured to meet you,your majesty!-Tamar Mariam bowed her head in front of her father-in-law.
-Lift your head,daughter!-Simon smiled at her and caressed little Davit's golden hair.
Simon couldn't take his eyes off his grandson for a while.
-Oh,what a gorgeous boy he is!He is your spitting image!
Tamar Mariam smiled for herself and looked at her son.She heard footsteps coming towards her.
-My brother-in-laws are coming to see you!
-Let them come!
Soon,the dark brown haired and light brown eyed prince came closer to the king.Simon smiled at him and exclaimed out of happiness:
-Aleksandre!
-Father!Welcome back to your kingdom!-The prince hugged his father.
Simon hugged him too.When he spared himself from Aleksandre,he saw his 2 other sons:Luarsab and Vakhtang.They came towards Simon together and snuggled their father one by one.The king hugged all of them.Then,he told them:
-Now,I have to ask you something crucial.You can comprehend it as my order as well.
-What is it,father?-Luarsab asked Simon.
-The one that sold me out to Persians back then must be held accountable by me.Obviously,he thinks,that he will be able to go anywhere and do whatever he pleases.But,we have to capture and execute him with his entire family.I know,that he and his wife must have raised their sons as traitors.Tomorrow,at dawn,you four go out and search the traitor called Kakhaber Khorghanashvili for me with his family.Find him and bring him to me!This man will betray me anytime if he stays alive.I wasted 8 years of my life in the Safavid Persia!He must be punished.There is no other solution.
-We will inevitably fulfill your command,father!-Simon's 3 sons exclaimed together.
