It was as usual, the king was rushed into the car. The driver was already panicking, he was at alert to rush down to the hospital. The gate was quickly opened by the gate keeper the driver rushed out, the queen was sitting beside the king at the back seat. She was breathing out fast. Ruth had already ordered the second driver to drive her to the hospital also.
They got to the hospital, the nurses rushed out to aid in bringing him in as usual. They’d seen him inside before he was brought out. He was carried into the private ward that had been provided for him and his only daughter Ruth. The doctors that normally attend to him got the information about his arrival and got to work.
It was serious.
The drivers and guards were standing outside the hospital to guard, the Queen was sitting by the reception at the front of the private ward with her daughter. Ruth was weeping, it was normal of her because both of them are normally the victims. She was not herself, as she was standing, she would sit again, she was not in the mood to pick any call and neglected all her friend’s calls.
The nurses were coming in and out of the ward with trays and different things on them. They were also running up and down taking care of the King of that Kingdom. The doctors who knew and don’t even know about the illness were also there taking good care of him. The overall doctor came out sweating profusely. Queen and her daughter rushed up to him. “How is my father?” Ruth quickly asked. ‘What of the king!’ The queen shouted out. The doctor was sweating and looking at both of them. He was looking tired within. He didn’t say anything to them, he rose hid index finger up, ‘Let me see you in my office’ he said and headed there. ‘Can’t you tell me here!’ The Queen shouted. “Office, my queen.’ He replied. The queen wondered and hurried after him. ……..

Episode-2-

Daniel was hurrying home, he had just gotten his admission letter into a university. He was hurrying home to show his parents that the school princes and princesses and other people would attend is the school he had been given scholarship into.

He got near the house and was hearing shouts from the house. He thought in him ‘this man has started today again, I will deal with him with my happiness.’ He entered into the house because the gate was opened but the sliding door was locked. He was looking at how his mother is being beaten up by his useless father after he had gotten himself drunk in the afternoon.

Daniel hurried back to the backyard, he got a pestle and broke the sliding door in. He ran towards his father that rose his head on hearing a smash at the sliding door. Daniel angrily hit the pestle on him and his father fainted. Daniel’s only sister, Beatrice that is normally called Bibi was just on her way home with her friends from the secondary school.

She got home and met the pandemonium, she was embarrassed in front of her friends and told them to leave for their various houses. David, Daniel’s father was taken inside the room, a lot of water was poured on him and he was exposed to fresh air. Gloria, the mother was still crying profusely. At last he came conscious again, Daniel hissed and left the room. Gloria was still beside him despite the fact she was thoroughly beaten up by him. She loved her husband.
……

The doctor took her royal highness in to tell her about the critical condition of the King. “He has to be flown abroad for further treatment, he will need a kidney transplant operation that is tight, I guess it should be done abroad, not here for safe job.’ The Doctor said. ‘That’s no big deal, it will be done with immediate effect.’ She replied. ‘But, you’ll need a donor, you highness.’ The doctor said. ‘This is the third time he will be doing this, I will get one sir, at least I can’t donate to him, they aren’t compatible.’ The queen said. ‘Its alright.’ The doctor replied.

Episode 3-

The news of Daniel’s scholarship soon spread through the kingdom. He was so happy that at last he made it, although his parents weren’t that rich to cater from him that much. The family members will also come for assistance from his father. He loved his mother and his sister dearly, he hated his father when he turned his mother to a punching bag. The father didn’t remain the same again after the pestle had been hit on his head.

After David, Daniel’s father became conscious that day, he complained about severe headache, Daniel didn’t do as if he heard all his shouts from inside. When it became too much, Gloria begged Daniel to please drop his father off the hospital, at least David had a car that he did push around.

Daniel got up reluctantly and drove him there. He was surprised seeing the guards at the front of the reception door He and his mother helped his father down the car and the nurses came out as usual to help them. He was taken in and admitted, Daniel was sitting at the reception when he saw princess Ruth pondering about. He looked at her with a pitiful face. ‘What could be happening?’ He asked in him.’

The queen rushed out with Ruth running after her, they headed to the palace. Although many in that palace hated the Queen because of her wickedness. She got into the palace and urged the guards and maidens to get someone that can donate the king his or her kidney. They all refused doing this, they remembered one of them that tried it for the king and died the next day. They all thought they would die after donating the kidney.

‘It will be done abroad this time around not in this kingdom.’ She said. The guards and maidens continued murmuring and still refusing on donating a kidney.

‘What next?’ She thought in herself

Episode 4-

The Queen and the princess rushed back to the hospital to check on the king and tell the Doctor that nobody was found. The driver drove as fast as he could, the queen rushed down and straight to the Doctor’s office to tell him about it.

‘Your Royal Highness, you have to get it, its dangerous.’ The doctor worried.
‘But no one is trying to volunteer, nobody. I wish I can.’ She said sadly.
‘But I can help you ma.’ The doctor said.
‘Yes, any amount, I will pay.’ She said fastly with loud voice.
‘I can get someone that will donate but its costly.’ He said.
‘Just tell me the amount of money, I will pay.’ She said with panic.
‘A million naira?’ He asked.
‘Is that all?’ She paused. ‘I will pay!’ She exclaimed.
‘Okay, just take It easy, please ma!’ He said with concern.
‘I want to see him.’ She said quickly
‘You can go ma.’ He said.
The doctor smiled when he left. ‘I’m gonna get manie!’ He said and laughed.

Daniel was looking at the princess where he was, he stood up and moved near her.
‘What’s happening here please.’ He inquired softly. The princess looked at him, she thought if she should ignore him or at least answer him. ‘The King is ill.’ She said and faced front. ‘Ill?’ He said and wondered. ‘Yes!’ Princess shouted. He was scared at her shout and went back to sit down quietly. Ruth thought in her that it was wrong of her to do that, she went near where he was sitted and sat with him.

‘I’m sorry please, its not my fault, we need a donor critically.’ She said soberly. ‘Donor? Kindney?’ He asked. ‘Yes.’ She replied. ‘I guess I can help.’ He said. ‘What!’ She wondered.

Episode 5

Gloria came out and met her son trying to volunteer himself as a donor, the queen also arrived at the scene and was surprised seeing Daniel, wanting to be a donor. She rushed to advice the doctor that she had found a donor for the king. The doctor rushed out on hearing this, he was annoyed but pretended to be happy seeing him.

Preparations started for both of them to travel out. The king was in pain, and was happy he found a donor. Gloria wasn’t happy hearing her son being a donor, same as his father, David. Princess Ruth was so happy that the guy would help her father, the Queen was also happy and promised to repay them with goodness.

…..

The council of elders and the Queen were sitting at the palace for a meeting. They wanted to choose a representative in place of the king till he comes back. The Queen was just shouting on top of her voice, she insisted ruling her husband’s throne.

Queen was a wicked and heartless woman, it wasn’t that she loved her husband that much, she was only pretending. She was happy she had no male child so that if the king should die, she would take over the throne.

To the greatest surprise of the council, she stood up and put on the crown, she sat on the throne and said,’ as from today till my husband comes back, I will be controlling this kingdom.’ She said and laughed out.

*******

Ruth and her friends were in Ruth’s room, gisting about their admissions. They were all happy they made it, although they were all not brilliant but the fact about them being the children of chieves in that kingdom.

‘That guy is great o, never knew he would do it.’ Princess said ‘What are you saying? Rachel asked. ‘Just remembering the issue of the guy who told me he would donate kidney for my dad.’ She said. ‘Hmmn! Don’t let me hear oo.’ Beatrice added. ‘That what?’ They all laughed.

Episode -6-

Two women ran inside the palace, they were in wrappers and fighting over a new born baby. The guards at the front of the door tried to stop them from entering but they pushed him to a side and rushed in. The queen was on the throne, relaxing with two guards at her back holding a fan.

The queen was surprised seeing them rush into the palace, they both knelt before the throne with one weeping and the other with a baby boy sweating profusely.

‘What is the meaning of this rubbish?’ She shouted.

The two women were shivering with fear, the one with the child expressed. “We both gave birth to a child yesterday night, this foolish woman also gave birth to a boy, she slept on her child and he died. She has now been claiming that she’s the owner of the child.” She said.

‘What!’ She shouted. “Is it now because of this foolish issue you’ve barged into my palace? You have no courtesy, I’m the king presently and order for you both to be beheaded tomorrow and the baby becomes the royal baby.’ She uttered sharply.

****

The two women were beheaded the following day, everyone, including the chiefs feared her and all prayed for quick recovery of the King. The King is not as wicked as this when he was there.

She received a phone call that day from the Doctor, who informed her that the operation was successful and they would be coming in some days time. She was upset by this call, she threw away the phone and thought in her “this man is coming again to rule.’ She thought.

A maid just came out of the kitchen with a glass cup and a juice. She knelt before her to serve her the juice. She looked at her angrily as she was pouring the juice into the glass cup. She shouted at her suddenly and the juice fell, she ordered for her to be locked up in the cell. The guards themselves were worried, they didn’t know what to do to satisfy her.

She was wicked.

Episode -7-


‘The king would be arriving soon.’ The
doctor proclaimed the arrival of the King to
the queen. She was worried on hearing
this, she wished her husband was dead,
she hated Daniel for saving the King’s life
from danger.


….


It was as everyone knew, it was as usual.
David was beating his wife again, this time,
there was nobody to save her away from
him. David beat her till she fainted. He was
drunk that afternoon. Bibi couldn’t help
the situation, rather, she was also beaten.
She had always pray for a safe trip for her
brother so that he could be able to deal
with her useless father.


At last, the king and Daniel returned from
overseas, the operation was successful and
all turned out to be success. The king could
walk on his feet again, the driver was
already at the airport hours before the
arrival of the king. People were happy
seeing the king again, hale and hearty. He
was taken to the palace and Daniel. The
king was really happy with Daniel. He
never expected him to do that for him.
He called a meeting with the chiefs, to
greet them all, to know what had been
going on since he left and to know what he
can do to appreciate Daniel.


‘The kingdom has been in a total confusion
my king!’ Chief Tunde said.


‘Confusion? What happened.’ He asked
wondering.


‘Yes my king, the queen has turned the
kingdom into total confusion, she sat on the
throne, commanded and killed many
people my king.’ Chief collins uttered.


‘What! Let’s leave her issue for now, let’s
talk about Daniel. As you all know what he
has done for me, what can I do to pay
him.’ He asked.


‘King, I guess you can send him to school,
at least he’s not from a family that is that
okay.’ Chief Tunde commented, smiling.


‘You can also give his family a lot of
money.’ Chief Kolade added.
‘You can let him start living in this palace
as a Royal Son.’ Chief Collins added.


‘They will all be done as you’ve wished.’ He
said.


‘I’m so sorry for all that happened in my absence, I will correct them all my chiefs.’ The king quickly added.


**********


The king became furious about what the
queen did. He was infuriated and very
annoyed. He spoke annoyingly to her and
warned her never to do that again.


The king called a meeting between his
family about the issue of Daniel that will
start living with them. The queen was
angry on hearing this, she became annoyed
and left the meeting angrily. Ruth was so
happy that Dan will start living with her
family.


All she had ever wanted!

DARASIMI, a young looking beautiful girl. She is a little bit tall, just of the same height with Daniel. She is from a polygamous home, her father with three wives. She is the first daughter of the family and the first born. Her mother, the first wife.

She attended the same secondary school with Daniel. She was always giving off sweet scent and was so beautiful. She had the best handwriting that set, the best hairdo and the likes. She was a very intimate friend with Daniel before they started “going out”. She was also a christian, she had no siblings.

She had been expecting the arrival of Daniel for long. She was outside their compound with some of her friends that went to that same school, that fortunate day.

The jeep pulled out from a corner, leading to Darasimi’s house. It was Daniel. He had sat very close to the door, eager to see if he would meet a padlock at their gate or meet her at home. To his great surprise, Darasimi was outside. He rushed down of the car immediately he ordered the driver to halt.

‘Darasimi!’ He screamed. Darasimi viewed him and rushed to him also.

‘Daniel!’ She exclaimed also.

Daniel held her hands firmly and both walked up to Dara’s friends. He bowed and greeted them. They were happy seeing him, he was the head boy of the college before they graduated.

‘How are you?’ The waved to him. Daniel just went there to excuse Darasimi from them, so they went out to catch fun together.

She smiled back at him. ‘Hi.’ She waved. The other friends also looked at the back at the same interval. They were all smiling at Daniel. Daniel bowed for them all and walked closer. ‘Hello friends.’ He smiled. Ruth was facing the textbook she held squarely, as if she was that serious with it. She was only shy to greet him and couldn’t look at him. ‘Hello.’ Beatrice also waved smiling. ‘Yeah, hello’ Stella also greeted. ‘I’m Dan, may I know you all, apart from My Princess.’ He replied still smiling. ‘I feel flattered.’ The princess thought in her, nevertheless, she didn’t behave as if she saw all what was on. ‘I’m Rachael.’ She introduced, standing up and smiling. She stretched her hand forward to shake him. ‘Oooh! Good name.’ They both shook. Stella also stood up and stretched her hand forward. ‘I’m stella.’ She used her hand to pull up her gown at the chest, as if she was in a fashion parade. ‘What’s all wrong with this one, is it the matter of her blue gown or what? As if her name is even fine.’ Daniel thought within him. ‘Aah! You girls have good names, Stella! Wao!’ He smiled, although not that impressed. Beatrice also stood up and smiled, stretching forward her hand also. ‘I’m Beatrice.’ She also introduced. ‘Beatrice?’ Daniel was surprised. ‘Sure, you don’t like the name?’ Beatrice asked smiling. ‘I do, even like mad. That’s the name of my sister, that’s why I’m a little bit surprised. ‘That sounds cool.’ Beatrice laughed. Daniel walked back to the princess and bowed. ‘My princess, I greet thee.’ He uttered bowing. Ruth just faced her back and saw him bowing. They all laughed out at him. ‘You don’t need all this Daniel.’ She smiled. Daniel raised his head and also smiled to her. “I do ma, you are the princess of this Kingdom. I do need it.’ He uttered. ‘That! I won’t receive from you, don’t use “ma” for me again.’ She smiled and wondered. ‘I must, its your deserved right, I must always place it on you.’ He uttered. Beatrice laughed out from within. The other girls came together and started talking silently. They all liked Daniel. ‘I insist! No!’ The princess said. ‘Alright ma.’ He uttered. ‘You’ve just said ma again!’ She exclaimed. ‘I’ll just start getting used to it ma.’ He replied. ‘Okay, make that fast.’ She smiled also. ‘What have you guys been reading?’ He asked and smiled. ‘Working some difficult-without-answer mathematics questions. So tough.’ Princess uttered. ‘Sure. We’ve not gotten any, since.’ Rachel uttered. Daniel moved towards their textbooks and taught them all.
