she then told him about his injury and how she found Lawan in the Forrest. and he searches Lawans body for his injury but could not found any.

the princess exclaimed, HE BROKE HIS LEG, HELP HIM, she yelled.

But he doesn't need any help. he replied, and as she looked at lawans supposedly broken Leg she could not believe her eyes, to see Lawan has no mark of any injury nor a mark or a scar except his blood is all over Lawans trousers.

she searched again only to find that Lawan is fine and just passed out and asleep

she then told her aid to prepare a tent to where to keep Lawan and prepare him something to feast whenever he woke up.

later at night lawan woke up and heard strange drumrolls a piece of music as the villagers celebrate their victory in conquering a neighboring village. and winning the land overnight. and their chief spoke in their midst.

today we have conquered a village so savage they were unable to defend themselves against what has come to them. those this is a feast for our victory I want you all to shed a solemn wake for the loss of their lives, and pray for their souls to peacefully pass the land of the living and go forth the heavens, to their ancients and rest to the everlasting peace with the Almighty,

and the villagers vowed their head and gave their final respect to the deceased enemies.
