Chapter 131

 A soup she mixed with the deadly poison Ogbom(. poison that slowly kills it's victims; if the witch wasn't called, we would have died a week after we started stooling blood), a poison that kills without mercy.

The reason I hate Ugu soup and whatever pertains to it.

Up till now, Father doesn't know how we came about injecting the poison.

I told him we picked the fruits up when we went to the garden.

Luckily enough for me, there was a basket of the same fruit under the same tree Kwofo was leaning on before he was chased by a Lion.

Father never found out who dropped the fruit basket there, but I have a hunch it was Miss Madne that left it there; something I never told father.

"Thank the gods I wasn't there", I have an allergic reaction to the soup; it's either I start vomiting or my heart constricts whenever I lay my eyes on the said soup.

"Good for you", he gives me a glare, "I had to endure five minutes of inhaling the said soup as Jionu eats from her bowl".

" You're lucky she didn't force it on you", I give him my best wink( don't ask me, but a wink can be as perfect as a smile if you practice on it like I do every other day).

"She can't try such a thing. Am as scary as a Lion", he growls like a little baby who's learning to cry for it's mother.

"Who was it that cried about the cruel Jionu?", I placed my finger on my chin in a pose of concentration.

Rolling his eyes, he sits on my bed, "go and get dressed you will be late for the party if care's not taken", he makes a shooing motion, " I don't want to be late because of you".

I look at him in confusion, " I thought you were the one crying earlier that you don't want to attend the party? what changed?", he was complaining earlier about spending time with Jionu, now he wants to go?.

Shrugging, he places my pillow ion his thighs, " I've not changed my mind; am only going there because you promised to always check on me every thirty minute right?", he looks at me as if waiting for me to refuse.

" Yeah I did so", you can't promise Kwofo anything without fulfilling your promises.

He's like an alarm, or more like a reminder since he doesn't fail to remind you of the promise you made to him.

"Now he dressed let's hit the party so you can start your check up on me", he grins, " I can't wait to see the jealous look on the aide's face when you come. I will be the only aide checked in by their royals", his face wash with joy, he stands from the bed.

" I will give you privacy to change; waste a minute and am in here to drag you to the party; dresses or not",he threatens a he walks out the door.
