SUN_RISE AND SUN_SETS

The sun soon sets on the palace walls as the King kept on thinking and thinking of what happened at the dinning as the words his son uttered kept on repeating in his mind for a long time. The queen went to have her bathe and he was sitting on the bed thinking. Soon the queen was done. She noticed a depressed, anxious, worried, some-what, angry confused etc. expression written all over his face. The King sat at the edge of the bed so she climbed opposite him to get his attention. 'My Lord what bothers you this much?' She asked trying to make him feel better. 'It's nothing' He replied looking away from her eyes. 'My King, you need to stop worrying about you daughter Polami' She replied. 'Polami was right about you' He inquired. She picked offense in what he said and stopped touching him. 'I need to think, just leave me alone' the king said. 'My King' She said 'Stop worrying about worries that worry them not' she said to him trying to seduce him to fall asleep on her laps. The King was old, but he was so handsome that women still offered to be his wives. 'Woman, there is a world beyond this palace, there are other people living outside this palace walls and the sooner you get to understand this the better' The King commented and closed in 'Good-night' then he went to bed. The queen was annoyed that her plan did not work. It was not how she planned or imagined in her head. She thought getting him to lay with her would be as easy as she thought but no that thought was an irony of itself. She could do nothing more but to also have some sleep as well.

THAT SAME NIGHT; IN SONYA AND HANTA'S ROOM

The twins were still awake that night. They did not want their elder step-sister to get the powers of the gods. 'What do we do?' Hanta asked. 'Me, I do not know what we can do to stop the introduction ceremony' Sonya replied. I know that one would ask why the twins want to disrupt the introduction party? 'We need to get our game and do some-thing' Hanta said. 'Ya, your right, besides seating here doing nothing is as dangerous as not doing anything' Sonya commented. 'So what do we do in that regard?' Hanta asked.

THAT SAME NIGHT; IN CARMELLA'S ROOM

Carmella was up that night still thinking about what her sister said at the dining and to Sayee. She could not believe her ears. 'Was it my sister that said that or was it her ghost, I ain't gonna sit here and watch my sister go through all this alone' Carmella said as she stood up, her tiles was broken a little and it gave her a little cut. She leaped to the door and then turned back, because she knew what she was about to do was intentional suicide. She turns back and sees a trail of blood. She goes back to her bed, elevates her dress and notices the cut. She annoyed by it and exclaimed 'AH, fuck' immediately. She did not realize that her step-sisters' lover over-heard her as he climbed up to the twins' room.

He knocks at the glass window and the princesses' drop the sad expression on their faces ad rush to help to help their lover. I know you can imagine two princesses sharing one man. Yeah, he is not actually their lover, he is actually their bed-warmer.

'What took you so long?' Hanta asked Romel folding her arms. 'The palace security is tight this night, you need to make an easier way for me to enter the palace' Romel replied. 'Let's just get down to business' Sonya said.

IN SAYEE'S ROOM; THE MAIDEN'S CHAMBER

Sayee was up thinking about everything that the Polami told her. She started regretting why she ever said the truth to Princess Polami. The other maids chattered about her like she was a piece of trash seeing that the princess who she was serving was not the King's favorite and did not enjoy as much privileges as the others. 'Why did I ever tell her what happened?, My big mouth just landed me in trouble' Sayee said to herself when suddenly everyone in the palace started hearing a wail of a woman. The King, the queen, the princesses, the prince and the rest heard it.

'Do you hear that? the queen asked the King. 'Yes, I do' The King responded. 'It sounds like Hanta' Polami in her room said. All of them went to check on Hanta and Sonya and immediately the King opened the door, they saw Romel and Hanta. What were they doing?

*****

IN THE THRONE ROOM

Everyone angry, annoyed and disgust all seated in their Pajamas. Hanta, Sonia and Romel were knelt before the King. They bowed as the shame they brought on themselves was too heavy for them to carry while facing their father the King face-to-face.

'What were you doing?' The King asked Romel. 'Father it was not his fault, we were practicing for some-thing' Hanta replied on Romel's behalf. 'Father, you caused this' Polami issued. 'Shut up you spoilt brat, you always think contrary to anything and everything I say' The King replied.

There was silence for a while and then the King turned back to Romel, Hanta and her twin sister Sonya who were still knelt before him. 'Hanta' he called 'Yes father' she replied 'From now on, Romel is our special guest, anytime you want him call him I will foot the bills' The King said. Polami and Carmella were shocked by what the King proclaimed. 'Father' Polami and Carmella replied together. When they realized that they both said it together, they looked away from each other and had their seats.

'Now everyone dismiss now, no further questions' The King said dismissing to his room. When everybody left, Polami stopped Carmella. 'Please, listen to me' Polami said holding Carmella's arm. 'Listen to you?, did you listen to me or Sayee?' Carmella asked Polami. 'I'm sorry' Polami replied. 'The only way I will forgive you is when you apologize to Sayee' Carmella said and left to her room.
