I turned sharply to the priest;
what does he mean by those words.
nkem also turned.
“he will be fine right?I will try my best in finding the person that poisoned him,either a spy whosoever,anyways the guards are on that already” he said.
“what’s wrong with him?
he is getting cold again but he just opened his eyes…if not for anything my son should live for me his mother,
he should also live to ascend the throne of deerah”
mother bursted out with a pained expression.
Two maids walked in with two different hot calabash,
the queen gestured them to stay one side then another maid came in with many accessories on a gold laid tray.
wtf!!! what are all these traditional nonsense.
she first removed his red band aid and replaced it with white then she wore him some bracelets.
like six on his left hand
then two on his left feet.
“my queen you should add the white one” one of the maids said.
the queen looked at her.
“am sorry ma” the maid quickly said,
then the priest turned to mother.
“lady chiamaka,you should wear him that for it will draw their lives together and lead them unto the right path”the priest pointed to two co-joined beads.
one was simple and the other one was filled with slivery lines,
am guessing that should be for Lotanna,
but who owns the other one?.
too many things to know here.
mother picked it up and tried untangling, after much fruitless efforts of not untangling,she wore it for him like that.
“and what do you mean by 101more times” mother asked.
“that’s the most powerful sacrifice someone is performing for him right now” the priest said.
“oh my god,
who-
where-
“am not allowed to say more than that” the priest left.
the physician also left
nkem left afterwards.
mother followed but she kept like 4guards in Lotanna’s wide bedroom.
I loitered around in his room,
soon I start searching around with my eyes.
then I entered his washroom and saw female hair shampoos and even hair pins–
next I saw a pack of s@nitary p@ds.
wait is Lotanna men$trating?
what’s he doing with all these and they are all new.
on top of the slivery jacuzzi base was a phone–
specially lotanna’s type of phone buy it was designed for females.
I picked it up and unlocked it, it doesn’t even have a wallpaper, no pictures too.
I checked the call logs,only lotanna’s contact was there.
next I move to messages.
(hmmmmm)
it has a finger print unlock
and one thing about Lotanna’s brand of phone is that it can’t be flashed.
I dropped the phone and left,
I headed to downstairs which is the living room….there was a cute diary on the dinning.
I picked it and left.
I opened it in my room,he only wrote on two pages.
????
I always find it difficult to find something interesting-
something so beautiful and sweet in the middle like you.
My heart,you’re a gift I wish every guy would get a photocopy of but guess what you don’t even have a photocopy.
inside out,you’re beautiful
your curves are perfect
your heart is more clean than gold
your fair skin turn me on…so naturally oriented.
your eyes is as sparkling as heaven is open to rain and each time you smile,it’s like the world will come to bloom.
You’re my royalty and i am your crown together we will build an empire and name it after our son…
Ifedimma,loving you is like breathing.
how could I stop???
?????
signed,Lotanna.
chioma came out.
“sir I need to go” she said,she was now dressed.
I nodded,she headed to the door.
“wait,do you know of ifedimma?”
I asked.
“of course,there are many.
which one are you talking exactly my prince” she asked.
“anyone beautiful…fair skin” I said.
“hmmm all the ifedimma I know are black” she said.
I nodded,
she bowed humbly and left.
I opened the last page he wrote on in the diary.
?????
ifedimma,I want to ask you out….
hope you won’t change if I love you too much? am a very jealous and emotional person,
hope you won’t die like the others…
only you make me loose control of my desires?.
pains scare me
so don’t die like the others.

Akuna’s p.o.v??
“her mom is that woman we saw earlier,she always travel from one kingdom to another….asking for “Mazi kelechi nwamma” house.
Akuna I guess she forgot home and is trying to find her husband’s kingdom” xara said.
“how did you–
“but she looks like Adeife”Adaeze said.
“but when we asked her what her daughter’s name was,she said “purity” I said.
“Adeife might also be purity!
I will tell chioma to find out.
“I know nkem is suspecting me of knowing IFE’s mum but if he actually find out that I can be this mean…he won’t forgive me” I said.
“so what,you want to to tell nkem the truth do that you can gain his trust?” Xara asked.
“Ife finding her mom will spoil things..her mother looks influential, didn’t you see the way she dressed..
I will loose my hold on the queen and the queen will start liking Ife…
did you hear Ife sing….
its another challenge for me Akuna, am suppose to be the best” I said.
“then Ife should never find her mum”
I said.
“yes..Mrs Adesola is going to be under my check” I said.
“how?” xara asked..
“I am inviting her to zubi kingdom, I have a plan” I said.
“you know nkem is trailing you for sure and that Lotanna sister is brainy, I wonder where she gets brains from” xara said.
“am scared also” I said.
Adeife’s p.o.v???
I felt so weak,
my legs were shaking as well.
“200” ngozi counted tiredly.
I wanted to fall,she came to hold me well.
“huni,thank you one day I will pay your kind gestures” I said and left again to fetch water.
I poured it on the idol.
“201….baby you can do better” she said.
“thank you” I smiled and went for the last one, I dipped the pot into the river and heard an unusual sound behind my back,
I turned it was a wild hyena.
I got so scared,I felt like the ground should open up and swallow me..
*you can eat me up but if not for anything but for the sake of love…let me pour this last water before you attack me” I said like the animal could hear what I was saying.
the animal passed me.
no harm*nothing nothing.
I carried the pot and quickly ran to pour it…I felt like ur!nating on my b0dy,I was so scared.
? you suddenly forgot your own problems and helped another like an angel….
is this how much you love??
I heard voices from nowhere in particular..
Fear gripped ngozi,
sounds of different animals was heard…
I ran to ngozi in a slow motion cos I was so weak,
she threw the candle away and took my hand….
we ran……
?????????
we got back to the kingdom at exactly 2am in the dark morning.
we reached ngozi’s compound.
“can you go alone best?”
“or will you sleep over” she asked.
“umm no,I need to sing for Lotanna immediately” I replied.
“but how– his mother is someone you can’t mess with” she said.
“I know I shouldn’t mess with her..
but it’s still not her fault,
I won’t blame her too much…
look only you and ebere and old nana are my friends…
the rest sees me as abomination…
those guys that fell in love with me are those that do not know me fully,
if they knew me,am sure they would run too.
it’s not the queens fault,
its all my fault… maybe if I wasn’t born,all these would not have happened.
and if she doesn’t allow me sing for her son….I will accept fate”
I told ngozi and ran off
???????
I came across the chief priest(onowu) I greeted as i ran…
soon I was in the palace,
the securities allowed me in after much begging…I need to lie I went home to meet my step mother.
I entered.”now,what do I do?”.
who should I tell?..
“Lotanna’s twin brother- perhaps he might help me speak with the queen.
“no,I should tell nkem..
“no…I should tell Amarachi..
I got confused.I didn’t even know when i entered the prince empire.
“you ..again!!!
I heard the queen.
“mother…”nkem appeared.
I turned.
“mother…I have– I was saying.
“am not your mother”the queen said slowly…
“am sorry moth…sorry my queen but I really want to tell you something”
I said..
“ikechukwu attend to her” she said.
“mother…please at least here what she have to say,can we just forget the abomination her birth caused to our kingdom for now” nkem said.
someone came from the other side,
I thought it was Lotanna but it was his twin brother…
his eyes quickly room my b0dy and finally landed on my fresh l@ps where they got trapped.
why is he suddenly looking me like am n@ked and like he has never seen a lady… ohh my mother? I hope you’re watching me from where ever you are…
“my prince, long live” I bowed humbly.Nkem rolled his eyeballs.
“what does she have to say!
to cause more havoc!!!
if not for amarachi and Lotanna I would have kicked her out a long time ago! she said.
“Yes,what do you have to say! she asked.
“moth…sorry ma’am–
I have the cure for prince Lotanna, I only need to sing for him to hear”
I said.
I waited patiently for a reply.
“what’s your name?”prince Jedinna asked…
“mother please just one last chance, remember this a matter of life and death” nkem said.
“make her attend to Lotanna but on no condition must those abomination hand touch a hair on my son” the queen said and walked away…
I followed nkem,
we entered lotanna’s room.
“sorry for what my mother said” nkem pleaded.
“why sorry? I understand! every queen in her shoes would do the same” I replied.
the queen entered,
I knelt to sing beside lotanna’s bed.
? he brought with him eternal light spreading everywhere..
? with the stream of merciful?
? and who wears his shoulders the hide of elephants?
? I am the one who fetch water amidst cold oceans?
? my voice echoes through,listen to me…?
? come back to live,let’s live together?.
I sang in my most simple voice.
He opened his eyes and held the white band aid on his head.
everyone looked shocked.
“Lotanna!!! the queen shouted and rushed to him,I quickly shift away from the way and watched her took his head on her l.aps.
“water” the queen said.
I found a royal cup and quickly filled it with warm water before other maids will do.
“water,where is water?” the queen said…
I stretched the gold made cup I had filled, three other maids came stretching out water cups..
which one will she take?.
