Chapter Eleven

"My King ..."

"What is it ? ,I thought I said I don't want to see anyone .

Go and do as you were told ,the birthday celebration of the Crowned Prince should be great .

Go and align all the maid servants and all the other royals to assemble themselves at the East entrance of the kingdom with flowers of all beautiful scents .

Align the large pallettes plates and fill the barrels with milk which would be used to wash his feet .

Make sure you blend the honey with honeysuckles and apply it on his body .

Now get out of my sight and do as you are told because in no time ,the prince would arrive from Champa with his beloved wife ; he scoffed and continued to drink his wine . "

"My King ,the King of Kalinga ; King Mahurazie and his daughter ; Princess Theodora have come here .

They are waiting in the royal balcony of your chamber .

I will take my leave now ,my King ."

Just in time to strike deals but what's the need to strike deals when your daughter will get married tonight and become a widow tomorrow , Mahurazie ?

Oh...Mahurazie ...Mahurazie ,this is a dangerous game you are playing with me .

After your cursed daughter becomes a widow ,I will make her my mistress and kill you and when that happens ,I will be great above all Kings .

Every historian will talk about me ....hehe..haha .

But then ,I will have to break all the jaws of the lioness you have made out of your daughter and make her solemn and bow to me .

Your beloved daughter ; your shield ,will be my strumpet day and night .

For years ,you have gained respect and admiration as King of all wars but now , it's my turn to occupy your space .

A little sacrifice will do ..Sorry son ,you proved yourself worth of my admiration but you are the ultimate sacrifice .

You are my path to success ...hehe ...hahaha ...King Duxan laughed to his heart content until he found himself at the royal balcony of his chamber .

.... ....

"King Mahurazie , it's good to see you again ,King Duxan said with a clear face ."

Ha !

King Duxan ,I'm not here to exchange greetings or complements .

I'm here because of my daughter's marriage to your son ; Prince Wales .Your son should have married my daughter seven days ago but that didn't happen .

King Duxan ,what do you take us for ?

A fool ?

Look King Duxan ,we are not here to beg for your son's hand in marriage and my daughter isn't weak to fall dump for love .

If you keep wasting our time ,we will have no choice but to cancel this alliance .

There are other , better and powerful alliances in line for my daughter King Duxan so make your decision now ,King Mahurazie said furiously in his deep voice .

"Daddy , don't be too soft on him .Besides ,I followed you here to tell you that I'm no longer interested in your alliance ,Princess Theodora said with all the guts she has got ."

What are you saying Theodora ? ,King Mahurazie pulled his daughter aside to quarry her .

"Daddy ,I have got my sources and they told me that Wales and his wife including his mother and Queen Romina are not in Champa ,dad .

They are not in Champa and they have kept us in the dark for seven days now . Can't you understand what I 'm saying ? Those morons have made a fool out of me and they will pay dearly .

I will rift their bodies apart when I set my eyes on them ,dad ."

No ,that can't be possible .Duxan ,are you sure you know your son's whereabouts because if what I'm hearing is really true ,then ,this won't go well for your kingdom .

Nobody makes a fool out of my beloved daughter .

"Calm down Mahurazie ,I will prove you wrong about your statements .My son is a trustworthy person ,and he's in Champa .

As I'm talking to you now ,he's on his way back to Mugal .

Can't you see the arrangements for yourself ?

Every single arrangement has been made to welcome him back home and also celebrate the eve of his birthday in a grand style .

Mahurazie ,trust me ,I will make this night special by also getting both our children married .

Trust me ,today ,your daughter will become my son's second wife and also my daughter-in-law .

To pacify you for waiting ,I promise you that your daughter , henceforth ,will be the crowned princess of this kingdom , King Duxan affirmed ."

"Look King ,we are done playing your games okay ?

Quit this game because I'm running out of patience.

Nobody makes a fool out of me ,Princess Theodora furiously said and unsheathed her sword in front of King Duxan in anger .

Look King ,run a search in your kingdom because my sources have informed me that your son has escaped from this kingdom .

Everything about Champa was a big fuss and infact ,until I find out the main reason why your son left me keeping wait at the altar until today ,I will not leave this kingdom.

I will tear you and your kingdom apart just like I do to wild carnivorous animals."

Calm down Theo ,just calm down ,King Mahurazie calmed his angry daughter .

When she got angry ,it was difficult controlling her but her father had the perfect tricks to console her .

Right now ,her anger was justified .Wales left her on the altar on their wedding day and she later finds out from her sources that there was no Champa nor royal disputes ,he needed to settle .

This had affected the reputation that she had built for a long time .

For this reason ,her anger was justified .

.. ..

"My King ,I think Princess Theodora was right .

They have escaped from the kingdom ,a guard said ."

What do you mean ?

"Queen Alexa and Queen Krystal as well as Queen Marga ,Queen Romina and the Crowned Prince and his wife neither got to Champa nor are in this kingdom .

My King ,they have escaped ..."
