olamma’s p.o.v??
I got angry as I stared at ife,
ngozi laughed making jest of the scar on my face.
“just smile,you look do not mind ngozi”Ife said..
I dropped the nylon I was holding and moved close to her.
“how dare you make me a laughing stock!
I said with fury,
then I raised my hand to slap Ife.
she caught my hand and twisted it down…
I raise my other hand and wanted to hit her,she still caught it.
“you’re still my sister…..
next time you raise your hand against me,that day I might not forgive you”
she whispered,
I jacked my hands away.
her voice sounded more like music,
has she been singing lately?.
something cut on my face
I felt pain in the place I was cut.
one of my mother’s maid came,she faced Ife.
“did you cut her face like this”,
the maid asked.
Ife looked around like she wasn’t the one the maid was talking to,
then she walked away.
I felt like crying.
“Olamma let’s go and get ointment”
the maid said.
I grumbled avd collected a piece of cloth which I use to cover the cut in my face.
“will this heal?”I asked.
“well it will heal but your face will not be like it was before”she said.
I got so angry for so many reasons,
I ran.
I ran because I got boiled and humiliated at the market square in front of so many people,
I ran because I got mocked by ngozi and Ife,
I ran because I saw that expensive waist chain on ife-
who gave her that?
she isn’t meant to wear that-
I ran till i got to our house.
“my precious jewel”I heard mother.
I looked at her with a sad expression.
“who did you like this?”,she asked.
I dropped the cloth I was using to cover it.
“mother it was prince jedioku’s royal servant,what exactly did you collect from him-
now see!!
my face is ruined!
“calm down” she said.
“but my face is ruined” I said.
“it will heal okay” she said.
I burst into tears,
then I ran inside.
Jedinna’s p.o.v??
I sip in my wine quietly,
so she was trying to give me all those things so that i won’t bother asking for the throne.
what does she takes me for?
I already acquire wealth;
money,cars,estates,houses-
I have everything,what I want now is the throne.Simple!.
someone knocked,
I stood avd took the remote of the projector I checked it was chioma.
“come in” i said.
she entered and bowed humbly.
“my prince the royal dinner is ready”
she smiled as she bowed.
she looks so h0t in that sk!mpy traditional attire,
I watched her with desires. In as much as I love pu.$$y, no girl is beautiful enough in my eyes.
“my prince, shall I bring dinner here for you…..if you don’t want to join the royal delicacies waiting for you”
she said.
*I’m not interested” I said as I took another sip of my wine.
she sighed in disappointment but quickly replace it with a smile.
“okay” she said and turned.
the key she was holding fell or she dropped it intentionally.Either way.
her wrapper was as low as her h!ps,
everything was on di$play as she bent.
“umm sir do you need a female to warm your b.ed in this cold weather?” she asked.
“is your b0dy as sweet as in between your l.egs?” I said.
she smiled.”you won’t know until you give it a trial”.
I took my l!ps in and moved closer like I wanted to kss her,then I t!ckled her wire like wa!st,
she shivered in e$ct@cy.
“where is the p0ison I asked you to get?” I whispered.
“its here sir,the cure is very difficult to get” she said.
I collected it from her and moved out.
it was really dark; can Lotanna be sleeping by this time.
I entered his suite since it wasn’t locked.
like six phones were on a couch,
all are on flight mode:
he doesn’t want disturbance.
two guards were seen loitering around.
‘long live prince Lotanna” they chorused..
“I’m not Lotanna” I said and wakhed out .
by this time?
where can he be..
is he with mother?
I moved out of the prince empire and stepped into the royal empire and walked into the throne room .
I could hear mother’s voice,
she’s with the council of minister.
“have finally decide,if the gods choose Lotanna so be it.The journey of his king reign will start in the next one moon.First the “tridax” sacrifice will be done for him”
I heard mother.
“but queen mother,tridax sacrifice is the most powerful.No kingdom knows it apart from ours and besides our forefathers didn’t practice that”
elder okoro said.
“no one knows it is the reason why we should use it for Lotanna.Being able to do what no one has done is “bravery” that will make him different from the past kings history had and as for Jedinna,
he might think am being partial,
the truth is that I love my sons equally…
After this last test,whosoever pass in terms of strength and intelligence will be the king-
if it is jedinna,the citizen will accept fate…
but if it is Lotanna,so be it for fortunes will follow-
I left before I would be caught as a spy….
finally I got to the golden dinning,
that place I saw Lotanna.
like six maids were there,
them like twenty guards all scattered around.
? your highness do you like this..
? eat enough, it is good for your health…
? hmm should I add more meats!
I joined in the royal dinning
and sat just one chair enough from Lotanna.
“brother”he called in a timid smile.
“idi0t” I replied.
“fool” he replied in a smile.
well that’s our way,
and he trust me a lot, we are close in our ways.
He got a call and excused himself,I already picked the poison in form of little stone with will dissolve in anything aqueous.
I picked his glass of milk like I wanted to drink but I had put the poison.Then I dropped it quietly.
Lotanna came back and sat.
I poured myself a glass of water,
I drank and watched my brother drink in milk fully.
“you should drink water” I said and filled a glass.
“thanks boo”he said and drank halflly.
he got a call again…
he stood up and left.
???????
Adeife’s p.o.v?
finally,ngozi finished up with my hair.
I had told her to plait “inverted corn rows” for me with my natural hair.
soon I arrived in the palace,
everywhere was so quiet,
there was no lights…
this was very unusual.
The guards guiding the gate got much.
what happened?.
“hey why are you coming from?”
a security asked..
“why are you just coming?”,
another asked.
“are you a spy?” another asked.
“umm noo,am only a loyal servant who went to plait her hair” I replied.
“let her in” I heard Nkem.
I was allowed in.
“sir thank you” I said.
he nodded,he didn’t talk.
is he avoiding me?.
he stopped walking but didn’t turn.
“is anything wrong?” I asked.
“just go to your room and be safe! as you can see everywhere is calm and the palace is on fire cos Lotanna is in pains” he said.
“waaaaat!!!
“I think a spy…he got poisoned.The cure is very rare,he might die”
he said.
waaaaaaatttt!!
nkem covered my mouth so I won’t shout.
“now go to your room” he said and left..
I got shocked,confused,
worried…
if Lotanna should die,then my hope to BELIEVE die.
if he dies,I know i will suffer
cos I won’t have anyone to call mine.
Mrs okafor passed,
I hastily wiped my face.
“come and help me with this” she said.
I followed her to the kitchen and helped her in carrying a calabash of hot herbs.
I followed her quietly till we got to his suite…
we were allowed in.
I dropped the calabash on the dinning, she turned to leave, I didn’t move..
“Ife…”she called.
“umm I want to pack these plates” I said.
“okay,meet me outside” she said and left…
I quickly move upstairs to lotanna’s bedroom,he was laying on his bed.
I could see him gasping for breath.
“obim” I whispered.
his eyes didn’t open…
“obim” I whispered.
his eyes didn’t still opened.
I moved close and felt his temperature,soooo hot.
I picked a napkin and find ice cubes in the freezer.
“come on my l@ps,I will sing for you and take care of your body temperature” I said.
he didn’t still open his eyes.
I moved close and gently lift his head on my laps…his breathing was slow.
I got scared as I use the cold napkin on him…
I heard footsteps…
I got more scared…umm I better hide
the door to his bedroom opened,
the queen entered,
our eyes locked….the napkin i was holding fell.
I quickly remove his head from my l@ps and placed it gently on the bed.
“you….again! she said and stared at me,only me with so much expression
