CHAPTER ELEVEN

"Good morning princes and princess Shewa" she said. Iwa offered her an encouraging and she took a deep breath before walking fully into the room and stood beside Iwa.

"what is she doing here Iwa, why did you bring her here?" said Shewa

"stop being mean to her Shewa, what's wrong with bringing her here why are you trying to create an issue out of it"Iwa retorted

"am not trying to create an issue out of anything Iwa, it's wrong for you to bring a stranger and a lowly peasant that was helped by the king among the royalties"

"mind your language, you don't even know her,what if she is a queen or a princess of another land, who knows"

"I doubt it, even if she is Oyo empire is the biggest of them all, send her back right away"

"stop acting like a child little sis" a deep voice spoke and all eyes turned to look at him,"what are you trying to prove Shewa, you are acting cheap, stop embarrassing yourself and keep mute" Araromi said and Shewa frowned at his words, " there is nothing wrong with her being here, let the lady be or are you envious because she more beautiful than you?"

"Brother Ara" she called

"what, am I wrong, let the lady be"

"Brother Ara is right Shewa, there nothing wrong with her playing with us" said Adejare the youngest prince and the last child

"and one more thing Shewa" he said and everyone directed their attention back to him " don't you think it's unruly of you to address me with respect and call Iwa by name, maybe you've forgotten that she is my elder sister and not my younger sister, address her properly, she is not your mate got it" he said and Shewa nodded her head slightly, she was embarrassed that are brother scolded her in front of a lowly peasant.

"Have your sit Ewa" Ajisafe, the eldest prince said and Eliza sat on an empty stool beside the youngest prince who smiled at her.

"welcome to the Oyo palace Ewa, am Ajisafe and the eldest prince, it's nice to have you in our midst" he said. Eliza scanned him and concluded that he was a bit handsome, he had grey eyes with thick black hair that was styled to the front,he was well built and had a cute smile on his face.

"thank you" she whispered and bowed her head slightly.

"So, he is the eldest prince like he said and sitted beside him his Adekunle" he is the second prince and the second child" Iwa said, pointing at a young man with a thick brown hair and brown eyes. He was also handsome but none was handsome like the mysterious man that named her Ewa."and the one that is sitted beside you is Adejare, the last prince and the palace baby"Iwa said. Now this is handsome, Eliza thought,he had bright blue eyes,the same as Araromi but not as deep as his, he had a cute baby face that made him look like a baby and a cute smile on his face that made him look more handsome. Slowly, Iwa moved her fingers and landed it on Araromi, "am sure you've met him personally yesterday,he was the one who came to call you, he is Araromi, the third prince and the fourth child", of course she has,she said to herself but not loud enough for anyone to hear and he is the most handsome of all the princes.

"and we have met again apart from the time I went to call her" she heard him say and she slowly raced her head to look at him, but he wasn't looking back, his eyes were fixed on the book he was reading, what is he saying, her heart cried and she wished she could walk up to him and slap his face and make him keep quiet

"really!" Iwa exclaimed, "when"

"why do you want to know"

"alright, let's talk about something else" Iwa said and sat on an empty stool beside Shewa, who had an angry look on her face.

"I don't know why you are all trying to get along with this wench" Shewa said and Eliza narrowed her eyes, wench, she thought, this princess is really crossing the line, she had been keeping quiet because she wants to be careful and doesn't want to cause any trouble, she isn't use to being spit at, she is a woman of authority and she glared at Shewa.

"You are crossing the line princess, don't be decieved by my silence" she said to have everyone in the room look her, anger was evident in her voice and Araromi leaned forward, watching her with kin interest.

"what?" Shewa said

"you heard me, you are beginning to cross the line, how dare you call me wench"

"who are you?"

"who am I" she said and was about to explode, then kept quiet, remembering that she had lied about not remembering who she was."maybe your brain is going bad, because I clearly stated that I do not remember who I am, but calling me a wench, don't make it repeat itself"

"what effrontery" Shewa said and stood on her feet angrily, "are you nut"

"that question should directed to you, you have been acting like some who is mentally sick,I mean I didn't collect your fiancee, did I? So why are you picking on me"

"I am going to report you to the king right away" she threatened

"safe journey, should I come along" she said and Araromi chuckled and the room went quiet.

"Insulting a princess or should I say talking back at a princess is treason" he said

"so what are you going to do, chop off my head, go ahead, give it a try"

"Shewa brought it upon her self Ara, why call her a wench" Adekunle said

"but still brother, she is a princess and a stranger that was being helped had the audacity to talk to her anyhow"

"the word audacity hits me, because the king accommodated me doesn't give her the right including you third prince to talk to me anyhow, I am a woman of authority and am not the type to be spit at, that's what my instinct tells me"

"impressive"

"impress yourself"

"you are crossing the line,you might really get punished"

"go ahead and do so, am out of here" she said and walked out of the room.
