FINALE.SEASON 3
??episode five??
I got confused watching the palace gate through my window
until one of the maids tapped me,
I turned,it was a new young maid.
“Young queen you will end up getting cold looking through the window” she said and helped me lock the window properly.
Another maid walked in and bowed before speaking.”young queen I just finish steaming the fish for rice and I have made pepper soup”.
I nodded and still checked the window,
Jedinna have left
it was even raining.
“should I bring mackerels or fishcake?”she asked.
“okay” I replied and followed her,
there were like three guards loitering around my bedroom door,
isn’t that lotanna’s handwork!.
chioma stood at the door beside ikechukwu,I followed the second girl to the dinning and dished out what I wanted to eat.
“who cooked this?”I asked.
“ebere ma’am”she replied.
*okay”I sauf and ate the pepper soup with relishment.
she poured water for me to drink,
I drank and took a blue berry to eat then a cold sliced pineapple.
the maid reduced the air conditional and went ahead to turn on the television.
We both watch till it was my sleeping time… you see I already got dizzy.
I told her,she switch it off and followed me upstairs to my room.
she hastily re arrange my king sized b.ed which I lay on,the other maids matched in.
they always stay like that to watch me while I sleep,
of course chioma is always among.
isn’t God a multi purpose God??.
“I will say a story”Ugoma said and knelt beside my bed.
“okay but I don’t want crowd~~ only you and Idera should stay, the rest can go back to the maids quarter”
I said in a sleepy manner.
“but this is our duty,
his highness will be angry and we might get punishments for not doing it well”Adapuruche said.
“If you won’t leave then stay in the living room,I feel so uncomfortable my soul doesn’t want much people around” I said.
they bowed and left except for Chioma.
“whaaaaatt! she grunts.
“what are you saying?-
we should leave when we are instructed to watch over you…
imagine is it because you now wear expensive cloth—
“chioma what’s your motive of coming here…as at the last time I checked,you wouldn’t love to watch over the one you hate” I said.
she stayed quiet,
looking like someone who is lost.
“remember Adeife is not a maid anymore…sometimes watch how you speak to a queen,next time I might not be too kind” I said.
our eyes locked,
she looked away and went out.
only Ugoma and Idera stayed with me.
I kept dreaming of lotanna
he talks to me in my dream,
he kss me in my dream
he cared for me like in real life,
he also took me to places.
I didn’t even know when I started praying for him in my dream.
He laughed as I did.
Jedinna’s????
what I never wanted is happening right in my eyes,yet i couldn’t stop it..
the worst part is that he will get that girl pregnant and if luckily she gives birth to a son,
he will be the heir,meaning the next king after “Lotanna”.
nothing will make Mother more happy if not for a grandson.
so I will have to deal with lotanna first,he knows how much I loved to be a king yet he went for the throne all because mother said “the ways if the gods are different from the ways of man”.
to h.ell with the gods.
I trailed my paths near the bush and perceive something stinking,I brought out my handkerchief and used it in covering my nose.
how do these people cope?
in all these dirt’s…
finally,I arrived at my destination,
g0sh….fk!
the place look like h.ell.
is this the place chioma described for me.
A girl in a white wrapper hastily rushed out.Her slippers cut.
she smiled and took off her slippers, she dust it and kept it under her armpit…
seriously,what type of life is this.
“my prince”she bowed humbly, her fair skin reminds me of that girl.
what’s her name again?.
Adeife~~she seem to be the most beautiful creature I have ever seen.
I had practically not said any girl is beautiful but that Ife is.
?should I talk about her nails or hair?
?or her eyes which comes into
bloom each time she smiles?
? yes I always kill his girlfriends so that he won’t have a son to call his own and because if they grow they will inherit the throne…
? but that particular girl Adeife interests me that’s why I won’t let her end like the rest..
once I take lotanna away,
I will inherit her as my wife.
Am sure lotanna will not touch her now so I have to be fast.
I will make her learn to love me.
“my prince!!!
the maid servant jolted me out of my thoughts.
“call your father out! you can’t expect me to enter your smelly hut do you” I said, she smiled shyly and played with the tip of her wrapper.
soon the dibia stepped out,
that was when I turned.
“onuwo this must be a secret between us”I said and brought out a huge back of money.
“he must not survive this one,
if you do this successfully, I will reward you more greatly once I become king with powers” I said.
the dibia smiled revealing his ugly set of tooth,such a horrible sight.
I couldn’t look
I just nodded in a little smile and look sideways.
“mind coming in” he said.
“hunnnnmhhh
I wore my face mask and followed him in his shrine..
everything inside was scary and strange…
there were skeletons of different animals, the one that puzzled me most is the skeleton of a huge scorpion that have blood all over.
The dibia started his incantations.
“Lotanna am sorry I did this,
next time if you come to life again, you won’t trust anyone,not even your blood”I didn’t know when I called his name…
fire blazed out of the calabash the dibia was holding.
is this some kind of magic?
the fire spread to a side in the shrine and started burning things..
The dibia looked confused.
He opened his mouth to the fire,it wasn’t reducing…
“throw the bones out to the dogs and leave it to fight with the spirits…!!
we heard voices..
from where????????
