********************
What welcome them was the name "DAILY INFOS"boldly written in capital letter...
"I just hope we get the information we seek from here"Inspector Kess said as the security man open the gate...
They drove in immediately when the gate was wide open, they park in the car log, then slowly came out of the car,both inspectors look around the building...
Kess scoffs at the sight of it, it was a two storey building,it is rumoured that the daily infos came into existence after the coming of the missionaries and civilization....
He sigh as he saw a group of men trooping out of the main door..
He glance at Philip who placed his pistol on the small bag that was hook to his trouser...
They both headed to the entrance of the door,they push the slide door open, they saw a few staffs on the desk, they walk up to one...
The staff greeted them, Kess brought out his badge and show it to her...
"Am looking for your MD"Kess said
"Any problem sir? The staff ask anxiously wondering why the police were looking for their Managing director,though a few police has come over the days, but they were only there to get newspapers and see some few staffs, never have any of them has ask to see the MD..
"We have some questions for him and we will be glad you cooperate with us"Kess said
His words sent shivers to the staff, she immediately pointed upstairs..... "its upstairs,the first door by your right. "She said with a trembling voice
"Thank you"Kess said with a faint smile
They immediately went upstairs, there they saw the door to the office as described by the staff.. They push the slide door open and walk straight to the person they suspect to be the secretary...
"Good afternoon sir"The secretary said
"I am inspector Kess, and this is my partner... "Kess said flaunting his badge in front of her..
The secretary nodded..
"We need to see the MD"Kess said
"Any appointment sir? She ask
Kess shook his head"No,but what we came here for is rather urgent"
"Am sorry inspectors, but you can't see the MD without any appointment"
"Look, we know you are doing your job but you better corporate,call him and tell him some inspectors are looking for him"Philip said
The secretary placed a call to the MD office who pick up after the second ring..
"Hello sir, two inspectors are here to see you"
There was silent from the othet end, then he finally spoke up.. "What do they want?
The secretary look at them then she focus her gaze back on the phone.. "I dont know sir but they said the issue is important.. "
"send them in"
The secretary drop the phone..."You can go in sir"She said and pointed to the door
"Thank you"Kess said
They both move to the door, they knocked but ni answer came, then Philip furiously open the knob and the door flung open...
"You must be the inspectors"The MD said as he close the files he was looking at before they bounce in like ill-mannered people..
Kess intoduce himself and Philip, the MD ask them to sit, they sat on the two chairs opposite him...
"So what can i do for you inspectors?He ask anxiously
Kess stared at him, he was fair in complexion, probably in his late Fiftys,or forties...., he was a bit chubby.... His shirt protruding out with effects of his big stomach.....
Kess nodded his head at Philip who dip his hand into the small bag he was carrying and brought out the folded newspaper,he straighten it and placed it on the table... Kess opened the page and push it to the MD side...
"I guess you must have seen that"Kess said paying attention to his expression..
The MD pick up the paper, read the headline then he drop it back on the table.. "Am just seeing this now"He said
Kess made a faint smile, could his workers has sold it without his knowledge or it was he who has ordered them and he was just pretending not to know..
"We bought this from one of your workers yesterday?Philip said
"We sort for news and we print it the way we see it, we don't slander anyone with our publication, i certainly know nothing about this"
"So you telling us your workers did this without your knowledge?Kess ask
"What am saying is, this wasn't print here, if you say my workers were selling this, someone else must have paid them to do the dirty job and i assure you am going to find out who is behind this. "
Kess sigh..... It seems the MD knew nothing about it, but if it isn't him who gave the order for the sales, who again have that much to bribe the workers....
"We will looking forward to receiving a reply from you"Kess said, he stood up and Philip follow suit, then they left the office....
The MD took a deep breathe after they had gone, he immediately took up his phone, scroll through his contact and dialled a number....
He waited patiently as it begin to ring but there was no answer....
He called again, this time more anxious... "Pick pick, pick your calls.. "He muttered..
He felt relieved when an answer came from the other end....
"Hello"The ferminine voice from the other end said
"There is trouble Sonia, the police are beginning to search for the anonymous person..... they suspect i did it.. "The MD said with a trembling voice...
"Keep them in the loop, they will end up chasing shadows"Sonia voice sounded ....


*********************
Why did we just leave, we should have ask more questions"Philip blared out when they got outside heading to their car...
"Do you think he knows something?
"Of course he knows, why else would his workers be selling the papers"Philip said
"Well even if he knows, we have no warrant to search or arrest him, we will just have to wait for his reply, if he doesn't do anything in three days, then we will make a move"
Philip grunts, three days was too much, he can't wait, he needed the money the chief promised, whoever the anonymous person is, he needs to find out kill him.....
Kess knew for a fact that the chief will try to kill the person when he or she is found, time was running out he needs to find the person soon, he or she will help him drag down the chief once and for all....

Francis eyes fell on the princess, she was looking extremely beautiful and elegant, he frown as prince Vuga drew closer to her, he watch her shy away and walk few paces from where Vuga was....
Just then he saw an incomplete house they were constructing, using bamboo as the pillar shook...
"What is wrong with you"Prince Vuga hollered at the slave at the top of the building... "

"Look at me"She said with anger in her tone..
He quickly turn to face her, he saw the need in her eyes, her body yelling for his...
"Am your wife, i won't let you treat me like this on our wedding night, no..
Before she could finish her sentence, he closed her mouth with a kiss, at first she was hesitant, then she realise this was exactly what she wanted, she immediately press back the kiss, roving their tongues on each other mouth, she felt her body linger for his, a burning sensation that was ready to bulge out, she quickly pulled off her night wear revealing the sexy bikini she was wearing....
He needed to get Claude from his head, he thrust his tongue further into her mouth making her gag, he broke off the kiss and furiously torn the shirt he was wearing with his hands, if this is what she wants, he will give it to her in the way she has never had it..
He was savage, he immediately pulled off his trousers exposing his bulge in his underwear....
He went ballistic, angry at the fact the girl he thinks of day and night doesn't feel the same way, angry he has fallen too deep for her..
She gasp when he torn off her bra, he savagely grab one of her nipples, he place his mouth it, suck it with all his might...
She moan when he bit the nipple.... This was what she wanted, a man who can take her to the very leap of estacy..
She grap his head and begin to push it to suck harder, bit harder, she was enjoying every bit of it..
He took off his mouth from her nipple and force it into her mouth aggressively giving her swollen nipple an erotic hand job that made her moan in ecstasy ...
He remove his hand from her nipple and dive it down between her legs, and begin to rub her spot aggressively....
She spread her legs making him have a better hand job as she moan in his mouth in pleasure ....
Their kisses became more and more passionate. She moan harder, as he probed her front, fingered her, and pressed on her center of gravity and rubbed her clit,he thrusts his finger into her hard…
She quickly grab his bulge, working her hands and rubbing it through his pant..
She reach inside his pant and started stroking his d**k...
His hormones quickly respnded as she stroke faster, rubbing every bit of his gleet round the inches of his hard d**k
She took it out from his pant,She began by licking up one side and down the other. She never touched the raging head,just the shaft. Then she licked
and sucked his balls, still ignoring the head. She went back to licking before taking his raging member into her mouth. Her head bobbed up and down..

She held his head"You are an evil mastermind"She muttered...
He took a deep breathe then he stood up and walk into the bathroom......

*********************
The shrimping sounds of birds can be heard from the trees in the garden,Claude sigh as she glance at the time, it was 11:53am,she worry about Rick, not hearing from him really troubles her, how was he fairing....
She drop the book she was reading as her eyes rolled to Jerone was standing a fews steps away from her...
Her eyes drop on his black suit and dark shade that he was wearing..,she wonder how she was going to get rid of him, he isn't the type to be rid off easily...
She chuckled when an idea cross her mind, what if she seduce him and tied him up in the process but that will be foolish and she will be stooping low and he isn't the type that a rope can hold, her eyes fell on his huge hands and shoulders, he will probably break free of any rope...
"Dont you have something else to do? She ask infuriated
"Other than guarding the princess,NO"he said
Claude exhales, then she take her gaze from her, it will take more than a seduction to get rid of him..
She smile when she saw Clarrisa coming her way, at least she has someone she can talk with in the palace though they have never talked but from the way she smiles, she could be a free person one can have a nice conversation with.....
Jerone immediately blocked Clarrisa when she drew close to Claude...
Clarrisa glared at him..
"Am sorry but you cannot come near the princess"Jerone said
"Have you forgotten who i am in this palace?Clarrisa ask infuriated
"Jerone give her some respect, she is the queen"Claude said
"Am just following the kings order"
"The king is my husband"Clarrisa blared out
"And i will make sure he fire you"she added..
"Jerone"Claude said as she wink at him..
Jerone left her way and stood a few paces from them..
"I see you got yourself a bodyguard"Clarrisa said with rage sweeping through her eyes, she knew for a fact the princess will be a torn in her flesh, she won't allow the king to marry a second wife, she will only be his...
"Oh that, that is the kings doing not me"Claude said standing up...
"I dont think we have been properly introduced, am Claude"She said extending her hand for a handshake...
But Clarrisa glared at her instead, Claude knows that kind of look, it was very certain the queen doesn't like her...
"I know who you are princess. "Clarrisa said
Claude felt embarrassed, she slowly drop her hand...
"I just still wonder what you are still doing in my husband's palace.. "Clarrisa added
Claude griited her teeth, then she sat back on the chair...
"Do you think my husband will get married to you? Clarrisa ask infuriated
Claude frown, so that was het problem, that is the reason she is like that with her... "I don't intend to marry your husband or anyone else"
"Then what are you still doing here, reject him and leave"
Claude scoffs"You think if i had the opportunity to leave i wouldn't have left a long time ago"
"I know your type, you give flimsy excuses but claw your way into the kings bed"
Claude went ballistic but she just control her anger she knew for a fact if she continues to argue with the queen, it will only stir up more anger in her...
"Please dont get confused, my staying here has nothing to do with crawling into your husband's bed"
Clarrisa hissed"Am watching you, any attempt to get close to my husband, you will regret it for the rest of your pathetic life"She blared out and walk away pushing Jerone from her way..
Claude chulkled... "Pathetic huh.. "

She smile"That was also part of my research before i came here, i need to know the place i was coming to"
"That's good, but this isn't the right time to talk about them"Odumodu said.
If the rest of the chiefs knew the daughter of Darius was in Akpatu, he will miss a very great opportunity to make money from her...
"I want to see them and talk to them"Sonia said
"Tell them about what?
She rest her hand on his... "I want you to tell them i have a business proposal for them"
"Business proposal...... "

Inspector Kess pick up some files frol the table, he glanced through them, he sigh and drop them back, he just hope his partner find out something about this anonymous person who wrote such a thing about the chief.., he stared out from the window, just then he heard a knock on the door..
"Come in"He said
The door opens and sergeant entered..
"The DPO wants to see you"The sergeant said
He nodded and the sergeant went out closing the door behind him.. Kess wonder why the DPO was looking for him, The DPO rarely call him except on important issues ..with a curious mind, he adjust his dress,tuck in properly and headed for the DPO office...
It was few seconds later when he got there, he immediately salute upon seeing the DPO....
"Sit down"Mr Ajayi said
He drew a chair from under the table and sat opposite him..
The DPO tossed the newspaper in front of him to his side...
"I believe you have seen that"Mr Ajayi said
Kess nodded then he realise it was stupid nodding his head to the DPO
"Yes sir i have seen it"He said
"So what are you doing about it?
Kess was confused, what can he possibly do about it,it was the chief problem, not his...
"The chief called not quite long, he wants a report from us,i need whoever published this thing found"
Kess sigh, so it was the chief,he thought as much, he knew the DPO won't take that kind of useless decision on his own..
"But sir, dont you think whoever publish this wants the to get back at the chief for what he did to him/her?
"That is why we want this person found, if he or she has a problem with the Chief, he should come out openly and not slander on prints
"But sir, this isn't our problem, we still have unsolved cases that are more serious than this that we need to tackle on, finding an anonymous person is certainly a ghost trip"
Mr Ajayi shift aback and reclined his back on the chair.. "It seems you have forgotten your duties"
"I haven't forgotten my duties sir, i was just trying to make a point"
"Your point is useless,and if you still want to be a part of this division, you better do what i say"Mr Ajayi blared out
Kess nodded a bit infuriated, he was searching for the anonymous publisher not because the DPO said but because he needs from information that will put the chief down from him/her
He quickly stood up, saluted again and walk back to his office.....
He sigh when Philip walk in..
"Any information?Kess ask anxiously
Philip shook his head.. "It was a ghost route"
"But i was curious, where exactly did you get the papers from?Philip ask
"From the boys that sell for the daily infos"Kess said
"If the papers weren't print and published by the daily infos, why are their workers selling them.. ?Philip ask
"You have a point there, but doesn't mean the daily infos publish this papers with anonymous persons?
Philip nodded"Think about it,No one else in this community has access to printing newspapers except the daily infos,and have you ask yourself why the papers with the daily infos name came out after the first papers with the anonymous persons has sold a thousand copies"
"So you saying, they worked hand in hand"Kess said
"Exactly, so we go to daily infos, and we get the information we need"

********************
As if she had a bad dream, she immediately stood up from the chair, she look around, how could she has dozed out in the sitting room, then she remembers the conversation she has had with Carlos was actually what has brought her here, she stared at the clock on the wall, the time was 7:45pm,the house was awfully quiet as if everyone has gone out, she wonder where Carlos is, could he have gone out, she stood up from the chair and begin to head for her room, she stopped when she remembered the room she was trying to open..
"The key"she muttered as she remenber Carlos has actually Put the key in his pocket.... and he had pulled off the trouser in the room, she didn't see him taking the key out from his pocket..
She quickly rushed to the room,Carlos wasn't there, without hesitation she opened the wardrobe and begin to search for the trouser..
She felt relieved when she saw it, she deep her hands into the trouser pocket..
Her heart gladen when she felt something that loon like a key, she immediately brought it and behold it was the key, she put back the trouser where she has taken it from, she must find out what is in that room before Carlos returns, she left the room, and huried to the room..
She took a deep breathe when she got to the door of the room, she hesitated a bit then she insert the key on the key mouth, carefully and slowly she unlock the door, and she open the knob, the room was a bit dark, she drool her hands to search for the light switch, she finally saw it and then she put on the light..
Shock swept through her as she look around the room... "An empty room"She muttered
How come the room is empty, she was confused, then she realise if the room was empty when she tried to open it the first time, Carlos wouldn't have collected it from her....
"Someone was here"She muttered and sniff at the odour protruding from the room....
She knew for a fact someone was here but who and where have her husband taken the person...

*********************
Tears flow from Edna eyes as her hands were chained to the wall, she gasp for breathe, she could perceive the stench of the her dress and hair.... She was weak, very weak, her head spins as if the world has ended, but she could hear his voice, and the sound of his voice made her more furious and a reason to be strong..
"Enjoying your new home already? Carlos ask
She didn't reply, she was just quiet gathering her strength....
"Give up fighting and agree to be my fight and i shall set you free, your beauty fades everyday that passes, agree to my proposal now before you finally lose it"
Carlos drew nearer to her and raise her face up then he bow down to her level since she was sitting
He smile when he saw her face a taunting evil smile..
Without hesitation, she spit on his face....
Carlos went ballistic as he wipe off the spit, then he furiously slapped her... "I will noy tolerate your insolence... "He yelled at her then he stood up erect..
"Your husband and children are no more, you are only alive because i said so,Spit on me again and i won't be that merciful"
Edna chulkled then she begin to laugh, first slow then she begin to laugh hysterically....
"You think this is funny, or you think someone is coming to save you, incase you don't know where you are, you are underground, no one except my guards and me knows this place exist not even my wife.. "
"I pity you Carlos"She blared out not knowing where the strength came from.....
"No, i. Pity you, because if you dont concur to my demands sooner or later, you will join your husband and children... "
"She giggled"Keeping me alive is the biggest mistake you have ever made, this foolish mistake of yours will be your downfall....the countdown for your destruction has began"
Carlos laugh"Who will kill me, am indestructible, am a god"
"Then watch how men kill a god"She Hollered
"No man can kill me....am the god of this land and beyond, whatever i say happens, am your god,so you decide fast what you want to do because your countdown of time has begun, decide fast or face my wrath"...
He groan at her then he left with his thugs....

*********************
Clarissa gigled as Desmond carried her into the room,Desmond drop her on the bed... Then he climb on her, their eyes met, then the thought of Claude invades his head, he quickly shift down to the floor, why was he thinking of her on his wedding night, has he really fallen that deep for her.. He sat at the edge of the bed,Clarrisa drew closer to him and touch his chin...
"Are you okay? Clarrisa ask
He nodded and smile faintly......
"Who would have thought i will get married to a king someday"She said as she tap him on the shoulder..
"Well fate has its own way of changing things"he replied trying hard to kick off the thought of Claude...
"Come my king, you can have me"She said as she begin to pull off her beads....
He gave her a wry smile"Not now my queen"he said and press a kiss on her lips, then he left the room...
She frowned and lean her back on the bed frame.

*********************
CASSANDRA GRUNTS deeply as she remove her earrings, then her bangles and beads that hung around her neck, she was so exhausted, the wedding wasn't what she was expecting, she had thought the father was going to come to bless the union but instead that village chief priest came, she wonder why some people still believes in the chief priest..., she chuckled as she flash back at the stunt the boy who keeps shouting the princess name pulled, she wonder what he was up to, was he trying to have atteni, if that is it, he sure did have the attention he was seeking for..
She UnCloth herself and step into the bathroom...
She came out few minutes later after she has freshen up, she check the wardrobe, then she took out a gown, she stared at the gown in the mirror, she quickly put on her undies and change into the gown, she applied some powder to her face wondering why her husband and son hasn't arrived yet.. She left the room closing the door behind her, she pass through the corridor, just then she saw Samantha coming out from a room, a room she has never entered before, she was curious, what could possibly be in that room, she knew for a fact that wasn't Samantha's room.
"Stop there"She said as she walk towards her
Shock swept through Samantha....
Cassandra stare at her, she noticed she was shivering, she doesn't the stupid story her husband has told her, that Samantha parents are poor the daughter came to their house seeking for job, she knows girls like her, they aren't after the job but something else which is definitely her husband, she glared at her then she look at the door...
"What is in there?She ask anxiously
Samantha shiver in her spines, how could she tell her the queen was there, that Chief Carlos have held her captive and chained her up like an animal for days...
"Are you deaf, what is in there? She hollered at her..
"Its nothing madam"She said with shaking mouth...
Cassandra could sense she was lying.... "Open the door"She said
Samantha knew if she finds out it will be disastrous but wouldn't it be for the best, the queen mother might be free or she might just be put to dead instantly if the wife is as Ruthless as the husband..
"Open it now"She yelled
Samantha shivered as she placed the key on the key mouth..
Cassandra push her aside, with a curious mind of what is inside, she touch the key ready to unlock the door................
"Queen mother"Samantha muttered silently

KINGS
EPISODE 43

STOP"Princess Katherine said as she enters the throne room...
The Prima was infuriated, what could she be up to...
Katherine stared at the Prima with disdain.. Then she walk up to her father side..
She bow before the king who reciprocated by smiling....
"Why are you here? King Dafuda ask
"The boy is innocent father... "She said
The Prima knew for a fact that if everything goes according to whatever the princess has planned, he will never be able to deal with this stupid boy..
"Great king, the evidence is there, everyone saw this boy beating this slave up....
"Everyone saw him punching him, no one saw him strangled him"Katherine said cutting him short..
Francis shiver in his spines as he watch the Prima give the princess a death stare, though a part of him was glad that the princess showed up just when he needed someone to stand up for him..
"Great king, the rest of the slaves were too engrossed in watching the fight, they couldn't have noticed if he strangled him or not, to them it was just a part of the fight, the boy is dead, he is not here to tell us who strangled him or not but justice must prevail.... "
"Why are you so keen in killing this slave? Katherine ask anxiously
"With all due respect princess, they are all slaves, if one goes astray he faces the consequences, i wouldn't want the weeds among the good ones"The Prima retorted as he grunts deeply
King Dafuda turned his gaze to his daughter.. "My dearest daughter, i know you are trying to protect this slave, i have heard how fond you have grown of them over the past few days, but we must respect traditions, the law is the law"
"The boy is innocent father,and i have proof of who tried to kill the slave"She said
Shock engulf the Prima, what proof is she talking about, hope that stupid physician didn't say anything..
"You said tried to kill the slave, you sound like the boy is still alive"King Dafuda said..
Francis watch as she smile, her smile seem so genuinely sweet, he felt an unexpected warmth rushing through him..
"Yes dad, the slave is alive"
"That is not possible"The Prima blared out....
"We checked his pulse, the boy was dead and cold"The Prima added
"Come in"The Princess said..
They all watch in amazement as the Bullo was carried in still lying on the woods.. The physician came in seconds later, he shivered when he met the gaze of the Prima staring at him like a prey..
"Bringing the boy here doesn't prove anything, he is still lying down there, he is dead"The Prima said
"No he is breathing,the physician can confirm that"She said..
Hands shaking the physician paced his way to where Bullo was lying avoiding the Prima eyes, he wasn't sure if he will be able to the task the princess has put him up to.. But for his sake he was willing to walk into the lion's den..
He touch his pulse and lean his ears to his heart.."He is alive"...
"How is this possible.. Dead men dont rose from the dead"The Prima latched out impetuously still skeptical of the turn up of events
King Dafuda nodded his head for his daughter to explain...
"When he was strangled, i knew something was wrong, so i ask the physician if he can make a portion that will take a person to the verge of death, so he made it, and we gave it to him to slow down his breathe, if you dont watch him closely, you will think he is dead.. "
King Dafuda scoffs"I have a smart daughter, so tell me princess, you once said someone tried to kill the slave.... Who did it?
Right there the Prima knew if the physician says anything, it will be his word against the princess, the life fuel of the kings heart..
"Great king, the physician deceived us, he should be punished?He blared out
"The only person whose head should be cut off is you"Katherine said infuriated
Her words sent shiver down his spines, he wonder how he was going to escape this one"Princess i know nothing of what you are trying to say.. "
"Father, he tried to kill the slave"
"Do you have proof of this? King Dafuda ask
"Yes father, the physician is my witness"
Fear filled the physician as his eues rolled from the Prima to the king who motioned him to talk....
The Prima knows he needs to escape this, if the king finds out what he did, the outcome will be disastrous.. "Great king..
"Quiet"The king hollered at him then he turn to face the physician.
"Speak"He said out loud
"Its... True"he replied with shaking mouth..
"He threatened me not to tell anyone, that if i do, he will wipe out my entire family...
"That is a lie"The Prima blared out
"Its true great king"Francis said impetuously wondering where the confidence came from
"He also threatened to kill my friend after al dead"Francis added muttering courage
"Great king,i swear on my life i will never do that"
"You mean to say my daughter and the other two are lying?
The Prima grunts"Great king, this is a conspiracy.. She
"Quiet... My daughter cannot conspire with anyone, are you the one who have been killing my slaves?
"Great king.... How can you insinuate such a thing, i have been a faithful servant to....
"Quiet... You have done despicable things in the past and i have been quiet about it, but for you to kill a slave and labeled my daughter a liar is something i will not take from you... "He turn to the guards.. "Take him and pluck off his eyes, he shall never see the faces of the slaves again let alone killing them..
Just then Bullo regain consciousness, he cough and try to stand up.. The princess and the physician hurried to his side
"Great king, please re consider your Decision..."The Prima shouted as he was been drag out by the guards..
"Release the boy and take him back to the working field"The king added
Francis felt relieved as the words of the king, though he pitied the Prima, blinding someone was an extreme length to go... He thank the king, caught the princess gaze but immediately look away and begin to follow one of the guards that led him outside... He wasnt sure how he was going to repay her, this was the second or perhaps third time she was saving him.... Indeed she was a blessing to him, a light to his path in this dark world...
"Thanks you father"She said after the physician has taken Bullo out
"King Dafuda smile, Katherine was the source of his hope since his wife died, everyday he looks at his daughter, he sees that same cheerful smile he always seen in his wife in her, before his wife passed away, he has sworn he will always protect their last child, in a time where there was no hope, her birth brought joy to his household... "I should be thanking you, you save me from making a foolish mistake.. "
Katherine quickly hug him and King Dafuda hold her tightly as he wish his wife was here to see how smart their daughter has become.........

********************
ODUMODU sigh after he gulp down a glass of wine, his mind ponder on who could have publish such a scandalous statement against Carlos, it was so foolish of Carlos to think he did it, such idea has never ever cross his head, how could he possibly do that with implicating himself...
He sniff as he remenbered the terrible and agonizing death they gave to the late king, now he was beginning to regret his actions, they did it because the late king was withholding them of the benefits they are supposed to enjoy but since Carlos son became king things have grown from bad to worse....
"Hi.... "
Odumodu turn his gaze to look at the person who was saying hi, he wipe his eyes with his palm then look at her again to make sure she was real...
His gaze met her smiling face, then he drool down to the erotic gown she was wearing, her white teeth flash as she tap the table with her film star nails,she blink her eyes and that gave his heart a thumbs up ,her oxbow lips positively drool with goodness,her lips were sweet like sugar candy,the kind of lips that will dry any man penniless just to kiss them, who is this angel, when he realised he was staring at her like an idiot, he quickly look away, then he turn to face her again as he felt it was rude to turn away from a lady especially a beautiful one...
"Who are you angel?he ask with clenched teeth
"My name is Sonia, Sonia Isaac... "
"Sweet name for a sweet angel"
She smile and his heart melted ....
"Please sit"He said as he point to a chair opposite him..
"Thank you"She replied sitting down..

Steve immediately shift aback standing few paces away from them
"You speak the whiteman language"Odumodu said astonish
"Its French sir"She replied with a smile
"Your father must be very rich to send you to the white man land in this hard time"Odumodu said
She chuckled"You are so funny sir, anyone who have their children best interest at heart will probably do what my father did"
"Any father who will give his daughter a bodyguard and the whiteman accent is definitely a rich man, and that makes me so curious, who is your father?
She smile"Darius.."
Odumodu open his mouth in amazement as the name rang in his head
"I can't believe this, Darius Longman, the multi-millionaire tycoon"
She nodded
"I have been wanting to meet that man for such a long time now, what is the daughter of Darius doing in our community.... ?
"I heard this is one of the most prestigious community, so i came to do my own research, if am satisfied with what i see,i may probably set my own business here"
"Then i will tell you you just met the right person to show you around"Odumodu said, this was a lifetime opportunity he wasn't going to miss,getting involved with Garius daughter was certainly something that will elevate his standard in the community..... Carlos better watch out, he just found money..
"I will very pleased if you can show me around"She said
He held her hands, they were so soft and delicate,the kind of hands that will instantly give any man a boner.... "Look beautiful one, this hotel you are now is mine, i own everything here... "
"Your hotel is nice"she said
"Not as nice as your father, i heard your fathers is the biggest in africa"
She replied with a smile...
"So where are you staying in this community..? He ask anxiously
"I have a room here"She replied
"Oh that makes it all the better feel free to collect anything,everyone is at your service here"
"Thank you"she said
"So when do we go for your research..?
"Tomorrow will be a nice time, am really exhausted, if i go out now i might just collasped"
"Of course,you need your rest"he said whimpering like a child, drooling his eyes all over her body
"It was really nice seeing you sir.. "
"Please my name is Odumodu, i feel am very old when people address me by sir, just call me Odumodu
"Odumodu... "
He melted when she mentioned his name in such a melodious tone, he could feel his growing bulge in his groin...
"i bet to take my leave now"She said standing up
"I will see you around Odumodu "She added
"I will see you tomorrow beautiful one"Odumodu said smiling...
She smile back then she turn to face Steve"Allons-y"
Steve nodded and begin to follow her...
Odumodu watch as she walk away..... "Darius daughter,what an angel"he muttered,then he jam his legs together to press his bulging d**k.....
It was few minutes later when they arrived in the room, Steve immediately locked the door and grab Sonia by the waist...
"Bodyguard huh"he muttered..
She smile"The fool fell for it"
"You did great, i almost believed your story, Darius daughter"He said and they both chulkled..
"We just pray it doesn't bounce back at us"she said
"Who will know you are not his daughter, that old cargo wouldn't find out, before anyone knows, our target would have been six feet beneath... "
She grab his lean waist and press a kiss on his lips"Am so glad you are here"
He kiss her back"The next time that old man touches your hands in that manner, i will chop off his fingers"
She chuckled"So now that we have our access, what is next?
"We make him lead us to the target"
"Then what next?

FRANCIS had no idea where he was going to, or where exactly was he..he just kept on walking wondering how things became like this, what if he is caught, he will be put to dead, an antagonizing terrible dead, he shouldn't have gotten involved in a fight that doesn't concern him, he should have known the palace was a jungle...
He shiver when he saw the guards with swords at the gate, what if they were already looking for him, he will walking directly into their hands, he quickly turn around as he thought following the gate will be a bad idea, he need to come up with something, think something fast, he needs to survive in this Terrible world...
He began to go back from where he has come from.. Just then he saw a few guards heading towards his direction, some he has seen with the Prima the others he hasn't, where they looking for him, there was no time to answer that, all the gurads in the palace were probably looking for him... He look at both sides of the road, varieties of people were busy walking down the road, he quickly rushed to a corner and use a fallen table that was broken to cover himself...
He thought of the reason he was running, he didn't kill him, running like this will only prove he killed him, hus father has once told him, that no matter the situation, the truth always prevail..
He wonder if that were true, in this strange world that he find himself, you say the truth you die, you say the lie, you still die...is just about surviving....
He look from the holes in the table as the guards pace around, they were definitely looking for something or somebody who was obviously him..
"Hey"Someone muttered from behind him
Fear engulfed and he quickly stood up to face the person..... And that was when he knew his dead was inevitable....
"Hide well next time"A guard said and punch him hard on the face

"King Felix grew furious when he heard about Rick's escape,he wonder where Boyo and Gavi were since he haven't heard from them for quite a while, he was expecting news of Rick's dead, not a welcome party with his presence....
He sigh, and force a smile on his face when he saw the king approaching...
"Desmond, you should be inside celebrating.... "He said when Desmond drew nearer to him
"I wanted to know if the guards were able to catch that miscreant who just disrupted my marriage ceremony.... "Desmond said
"The guards weren't able to catch him but he isn't someone you should worry about"King Felix said
"Do you know him? Desmond ask
King Felix scoffs, how could he tell him that the boy was the idiot his daughter is in love with...
"No"He replied shabbily..
"He must be some idiot wanting to have attention"He added
"If that is it, come and join me, lets celebrate this day"
"of course"he replied as they walk back into the hall together...

**********************
Sonia hissed as she fold a paper and throw it on the trash can, she place her hand in her forehead, then stood up was she realised she wasn't comfortable in that position... She walk to the window, drag the curtain to a corner and took a sneak peak outside..
Steve took out a stick of cigarettes from the cigarette box, he place it in his mouth and lit it...
He inhaled it and simply let out the smoke.. "So what's the next move? He ask anxiously
Sonia gritted her teeth, she drop the curtain and turn to face him...Her gaze caught his sea rover blue eyes...He had a Mohican cut and scythe-shaped eyebrows. His Roman nose and half-dome cheekbones sat above an oaken jaw. His wrestler’s shoulders were part of his burly physique. His bare body was breathe taking, the kind of body any woman will die to take a second and third glance at....
"We set the bait"She added and walk to the bed side
"The newspaper publication didn't seen to have any effect on him, today is his son's marriage, we should have given him a blow to ponder on for the rest of his miserable short life"Steve said
"We need to be smart, our next move is going to be a bomb"Sonia said as she sat on the bed
"Poof"Steve added..

*******************
"What are you saying,it cant be the Prima, why would the Prima want him dead...? Levi ask curiously
"I know the Prima, he never forgets a humiliation which is exactly what the princess did when he saved the two of you"Zed said
"But Francis isn't the only she saved,she saved me too"
"This was an opportunity the Prima found to put him away, trust me, your turn will come... "
"Is he going to kill me too? He ask curiously
"If he doing this because of what the princess did to him, then yes he will kill you too"
Fear engulfed Levi, he shiver in his spines as he thought of the possibility of it...
"We must tell the king"Levi said
"Tell him what exactly, that the Prima is actually the one who killed the slave, no one is going go believe that"
"We can try"
"Then goodluck with that... "

**********************
Francis drag his feet as he was drag by the guards...
He felt breathless when he saw the Prima dark eyes,as he look into his eyes he felt a sudden soul shattering chill that sent shiver all over his body....he tried to run but the guards hands were girm on his wrist..
"You tried to run away after what you have done?The Prima ask
"I didn't do anything"Francis blared,he wonder where the confidence came from, maybe believing in telling the truth and it shall set you free was worth trying...
"Today is your end princess boy"the prima said
"Francis tried to read meaning to it, he was shocked by the reply in His head....
The Prima drew closer to his him.. "After you are gone, i will take care of your other princess Friend, so you won't miss him much because he will soon join you"The Prima whisper in his ears...
Francis could feel the pounding of his own heartbeat, so it was the Prima who had killed Bullo.. With shaking mouth, he muttered.... "LEVI"
"Take him to the king"The Prima order....

*********************
ODUMODU came out from inside the hall when he noticed the crowd was producing too much heat, he walk few steps away from the hall, his eyes caught the paper a boy was reading, he immediately drew nearer, he was a bit shocked when he saw the headline, he collected it from the boy, gave him some cash and the boy walk away....
He thought of who will do that to Carlos, he wonder if Carlos has seen it, he will be very furious...
"So its true you published that to ridicule me?
Odumodu turn around and there stood the devil...
"Why would i do something like this? He ask
"I know what you are doing Odumodu"Carlos said as he drew nearer to him
"If i wanted to ridicule you Carlos, i won't put it in a paper.."
"So you will rather do it openly like turning the chiefs against me? Carlos ask infuriated
"You assured us our money is safe...the money is all i care about"
"You are a small boy Odumodu, i have been in this game you are trying to play for a long time now, don't mess with me Odumodu"
Odumodu chulkled"Like i said, all i care about is my money, don't mess with that, enjoy your son's wedding Carlos"He said and threw the newspaper in front of him
Carlos stared at him with furious eyes until he disappeared out of sight...

*********************
Francis knelt when he was in the presence of the king, he wasn't himself, all he thought about was his dead and his friend levi, he breathe in and out but air couldn't enter his lungs,starved for air, his heart raced at a tremendous speed and his lungs shallowing rose and fell in time,to him he has knelt down there for what felt like an eternity waiting for the king to pronounce his judgement ...
Each seconds submerged in fear made a permanent mark on his heart, and a vivid imagination made him wander whether it was just his mind playing tricks or reality.
"The KA-RU?King Dafuda ask
"Yes great king, the KA-RU"The Prima said
The king stare at Francis, he pitied him but the law was the law, no one was exempted...he took a deem breathe and said.... "You broke the law by killing a fellow slave"
Francis was inclined to say it wasn't him but the Prima but wouldn't interrupting the king be another form of offense...
"You must face the punishment,take him to the working field and behead him for the rest to see.... "King Dafuda added

Sonia smile as she preened herself on the mirror, she applied lipstick again on her lips.....
The doors opens and Steve came in, his eyes caught the blue gown she was wearing, the gown was torn designed from the ankle to above her knee revealing most part of her lap......
Her perfect figure sat well on her perfect body. She had a decanter shaped waist and her complexion had an impeccable, ochrous hue. Her pencil-thin eyebrows eased down gently to her black, beetle’s-leg eyelashes. A sculptor could not have fashioned her seraph’s ears and pixie’s nose any better.
When she broke into a smile, her beguiling, oyster-white teeth lit up the room....
"He is here"Steve said
"Where? She ask as she buckle up her high heel
"The bar"
"Then lets begin..... "

It was more like the Ajuwa festival was been celebrated again....
Rick took a deep breathe as he saw the crowd outside, he knew for a fact that seeing Claude wont be an easy task but he was willing to take the risk...
He wonder where she is, could she be in her room or she is in the hall... As the questions ponder in his head, he arrange his disguised beards, he wouldn't want them falling off when he pace his way through the crowd to the front...
He move to the other side tge canopies were, he stare around if he can find a short cut...
He exhales when he realise the short cut was filled with guards..
pushing his way through the crowd will prove very difficult as he thought any careless move can jeopardize his disguised....

Desmond breathe heavily as the water from the shower clatters in his face, even in his own marriage day all he keeps thinking about was Claude, what kind of spell has she cast on him, he doesn't even feel anything to the girl he is getting married to, he is doing it just to make his father happy..
He off the shower, grab his towel and dried his wet body, then those dirty thoughts started invading his head...
He had an instant boner, he sigh and tied the towel to his waist, he step out of the bath tub and walk out of the bathroom, shock swept through him as he saw the person lying on his bed...
"What are you doing here? He blared out
"The door was open"Cleopatra said and begin to unzip her dress..

His boner increases and the towel loosened and fell to the floor ...
"Then consider this a wedding present"She said
He immediately lift her up and carried her into the bed...
In a fluid motion she pulled her bra over her head and without hesitation bent and tugged her panties to the floor, kicking them free with her foot.
She moan as he slid his fingers inside her.
"Shhh," he whispered softly, sliding his finger out of her, his actions still gentle. "I'll be inside you soon, and I'll Bleep you as hard as you need." He slid his finger—glistening with moisture--to rest on her lower lip. Cleopatra did as he wanted, sucking his finger clean. He growled, dragged her against him and kissed her, sliding his tongue into her mouth to taste the juices that she had licked from his fingers.

Cleopatra was whimpering as he kissed her. She was trying to control herself, but it just wasn't working. She moaned in pleasure as he slid his mouth to her throat and started to nuzzle.
"Oh you are sweet," she whispered as he continued to torment her...
He remove his mouth from hers and roughly slapped her naughty ass before finally guiding his d**k to her wet pu**y. Slowly pushing inside her tight, wet, canal, he grunted in carnal satisfaction.
"Oh, yes…”she seethed in immense pleasure.
He grasped her hips and immediately began pummeling her slick cunt.
“Oh! Yes, like that, Bleep me like that!” she wailed, arching her back upwards.
As he stared mesmerized by her gorgeous, jiggling, gelatinous ass, he felt a dynamic climax unlike any other begin to near its peak.
She burnt in sensation and moan in orgasmic euphoria..

Desmond gasped as the her pu**y squeezed and clenched around his d**k Thrown overboard himself, he squeezed her buttocks and groaned as his jizz filled her sweet cunt.
Tired and exhausted,he fell on top her, then he realise today was his marriage, he quickly stood up and walk up to the wardrobe..
"Give me this kind of wedding gift again and i will kill you"He said
Cleopatra chulkled, now she knows the king won't be able to resist her anymore, she has gotten him right where she wants, it was time for her to start making her own plans...
"Get out"Desmond said
"Yes my king"She said, stood up from the bed and begin to dress...
"Happy marriage day my king"She said when she was fully dressed then she left the room.....

"Am sorry, i thought you saw me when i walked in"He replied
"I didn't,i was too busy breaking plates"She said shabbily
"Come on, it wasn't your fault, you are tired, when one gets tired he is bound to make mistakes,no one will crucify you for breaking one plate.. "
She laugh, Raphael stared at her, she have a cheerful smile, he has been thinking about her alot recently and he doesn't know why, could it be he was beginning to like her..
She had a sculpted figure which was twine-thin. Her waist was tapered and she had a burnished complexion. A pair of arched eyebrows looked down on sweeping eyelashes. Her delicate ears framed a button nose. A set of dazzling, angel-white teeth gleamed as she laugh....
He bow down and begin to help her gather the broken pieces..
"So what do you think about the king soon to be wife? He ask striking a conversation
"I heard she is good, despite the fact that she is rich"She replied
"People say she is rude"he said
"I guess everyone has a different opinion of everyone"
They gaze at each other then their eyes met, they both felt a burning sensation to touch each other but what could be running in the others mind..
Rachel quickly look away, she pick all the broken pieces and stood up erect
"I have to continue with what i was doing"

He sigh,pick the log wood he was carrying to the other side of the building...
He wonder if Zach was the culprit, if he was why would he try to frame him, all he did was help him out... He wonder how some people can be so inconsiderate..

"Are you still on that? Levi ask
"You don't understand, if someone has tried to kill that boy, the princess has to know the truth so she won't think it was me who did it"
"I understand perfectly well what you are driving out but seeing the princess is a great risk"
"I will take the tunnel"Francis interjects
"We were lucky the last time, what makes you think there are no dangerous things out there?

Francis shiver as he got to the turn over, he carefully jump down as his legs hit the baskets, he doesn't know if what he was doing was the right thing but his instincts tells him it is right.
Fear prick his spines as he thought of the roaring sound they heard the last time... But he doesn't need to be afraid now, it was an issue of life and dead, if the person eventually succed in killing Bullo, his head will go for it and he knew that for a fact..
He shiver as he walks along the dark path,he prays that roaring tiger or whatever that was there doesn't come out this time.... everything was still exactly the way they left it, though the fire they set was out now, Luckily for him the door was still open which shone some light in the tunnel that made him see clearly,he quickly enter the basement wondering how the princess will react when she finds out he was in her basement.... He made a silent prayer then he began to climb, he wonder if she was in the room, what if she isn't, even if she is, what if her brother is there with her, he climbed to the top, not making a sound, he lean his ears to the top door but no sound came from the room...he decided to wait to see if he will hear a sound but non came...
He took a deep breathe, this certainly means she isn't in the room.. What a waste of time..
He was almost at the verge of loosing hope then he heard some tickling sound, someone was definitely in the room, should he knock, what if it was someone else, then another thought came to his head, what would someone else be doing in the princess room...
He exhales , slowly he knocked on the door, then he knocked harder and knocked again but the door was not forth opening.... Just then he realise he has made a stupid mistake, what if it was someone else...
He wanted to climb down then he saw the door slowly opening,he wasn't sure if he should hide himself... But it was too late as the door flung open, he raise his head to face the person.....
Shock race through him as he saw the person, what a blunder he has made...
"You... "Adesa blared out
He took a deep breathe..
"Please i need to see the princess... "He muttered praying she doesn't scream
He sigh, a sigh of relief when Katherine peep.....
"How dare you show your face here?Katherine blared out
Adesa shift aback but she keep staring at him
"I need to tell you something"Francis said hoping she listens to him
"Whatever you have to tell me, am not interested.. "She said as she try to close the door but Francis hold it...
"Someone tried to kill the slave i fought with"He said impetuously
"And how did you know that? She ask curiously
Francis gritted,he was here already, there was no need lying.. "I saw him, there were bruises in his neck which i certainly didn't give him"
"How did you know where he was taken to?
"A friend told me"he replied shabbily
"A friend, what friend?
"Princess we really have no time,someone is trying to frame me"
"I know he has bruises, whoever that gave him that also knocked the physician out,he was lying on the floor when i got there.. "
The memory of what he saw creep into his head, the physician wasn't there..
"The physician wasn't there when i got there, i only saw the boy"He said
"You must have seen him after he has regain consciousness.. "Katherine said
"No, that isn't possible, remenber you place a guard that is watching there after what happened.. "Adesa said
"If the guard had seen him, he would have told you immediately or probably drag him here"Adesa added
"There was no guard in sight when i got there"Francis said
"Are you saying the physician lied"Katherine said
"I will never make such assumptions but judging from what he just said, it can only be said that.....
"He lied"Katherine interjects cutting Adesa short..
"But why would he lie?she ask curiously..
"The person must have threatened him"Francis muttered

"By killing him...."Zed said shabbily
"What happened was months ago, why wait so long to get back at him"Zed added

"I didn't"Francis replied
"You weren't yourself that day, think carefully, are you sure you aren't the one?Levi ask

"To where exactly, to see that man with horrible beards"

Claude was filled with rage, so her father did this...
"From now on, you are not allowed to leave the palace,wherever you go in the palace, Jerone will follow you, whoever visits, she will go through Jerone as i wouldn't want my wife gossiping with anyone , nobody with a penis between his legs is allowed to visit you"
"You are getting married tomorrow, my father wouldn't want me to be a second wife"Claude said
"Actually he does and i dont mind marrying two wives"
"Stop fooling around, Am never getting married to you, not in this life and certainly not in the next, so please tell your guard here to get the hell out of my way"She blared out
"Where are you going to exactly?
"That is none of your beeswax"She retorted
"Okay, Jerone at your service"Desmond said, smile at her and begin to walk away....
Claude glare at him, then she turn to face Jerone"Have you no shame, acting like a puppet to a man who is probably your age mate"

"you should have thought about that before getting involved in what doesn't concern you, if you want to survive here, mind your business"
Francis inhale, minding his business is exactly what he should have done now he was in trouble, he wish he can turn back time....
"So guys"Zed said as he got to where they are
Both boys look at him..
"I did some investigation,i ask the slaves Zach mostly associates me, and they all said they didn't see him few hours after Bullo was taking to the physician..
"Could that mean, he did it? Francis ask anxiously
"I dont know"Zed said
"Even if he did which i still doubt,why wait till now to pay him back"Zed added
"He waited for the perfect opportunity"Levi said
"So you saying all this time he has been keeping grudges?Zed ask
"I think so"Levi muttered
"It doesn't make any sense, how did he even know where they took him? Zed ask
"How did you know? Levi ask back
"So what stopped him frol killing him?Zed ask
"Maybe he was caught"Francis interjects
"Or maybe he change his mind"Levi added
"If he was caught, he wouldn't be here with us"Zed said
"So he change his mind then"Levi said
The more they argue the more Francis was confused, whatever the truth may be, he was inclined to find out..
"I have to tell the princess"He said
"And tell her what exactly?Levi ask
"That someone tried to kill him"He said
"Wait, do you know how to get to the princess? Zed ask
Both boys look at each other
"Yes"Francis replied shabbily
"How? Zed ask
"Don't you think the princess already know that"Levi said
"Honestly i dont know"Francis muttered
His instincts tells him telling the princess was the right thing to do..
"What if Zach didn't do it?Francis ask anxiously
"Who exactly have you offended?Zed ask
"Or who have Bullo offended?Levi ask
"If Zach didn't do it, then who did?
They caught Zach gaze, then they watch him when he drop his working tools and started working towards them
"What is he coming to do here? Francis ask curiously
"To confess"Levi muttered
When he drew closer to them, Zed walk up to him
"I suggest you go back to work"Zed said
Zach glare at him"I know what you are doing, you think you are going get any information by asking questions about me"
"What do you mean? Francis jump in when he saw his expression..
Zach turn his gaze to Francis"I didn't ask you to fight for me, and wherever that bastard is, i wish he dies there"
Zach stare at them one more time, then he left them..
"He did it"Levi said
"Why would he kill him when he knows who is going to face the penalty"Zed said
"If he didn't do it, then who did, he just indirectly confessed"Levi blared out
"This is getting more complicated"Francis muttered

EPISODE 37

MOGULA

Francis was restless, he keeps pacing around.. He sat down in one of the blocks, then he stood up, he regrets his actions, what really came over him, what was he thinking.. The memory of his father and brother dying creep into his head, could his family death be what stir up his anger.. He should be furious at the chiefs, not slaves like him..when that guy elbowed him on the nose, his father's dead flash through his head and he grew furious.. That was certainly what stired up his anger.. He grunts and sat back again..
He wonder if the princess will ever talk to him again, if that boh dies, it means his quest for revenge will be vanquish...
"Still thinking of what happened?Levi ask as he sat beside him
Francis sigh"If he dies....
"Come on, you only punch him, punch dont kill people"Levi interjects
Francis sigh, a sigh of relief, just what he wanted to hear, it was just a punch, he will be fine..
"Dont you think we should go see him?Francis ask anxiously, he needed to see him,to know how he is doing and to apologize, apologize for his stupid mistake, why did he get involved in the first place.
Levi chulked"First of all, there is no we, second of all how do you know where he was taken to?
Francis grin"I think he was taken to the palace"
"We are in the palace, the question is where exactly?
"I dont know where, but i intend to find out"Francis said
Levi wink his eyeballs at him"How are you going to do that, have you forgotten slaves are not allowed to leave the working field"
"We will sneak out like we did before"Francis said with clenched teeth
"Stop saying we, there is no we, and if you want to sneak out, you are welcome"Levi blared out
"I really need to know how he is doing"Francis said shabbily
"You are getting worried for nothing, he is not going to die"Levi said
Francis took a deep breathe, he wanted to believe the slave is going to be fine but his instincts keeps telling him something might go wrong...

*********************
"How is he?Princess Katherine ask the physician as he drew closer to the slave on the bed...
"I gave him some pain killers and i treated his wounds, he will be fine if he rest well"The physician reply
Katherine felt relieved, she didn't believe the boy she always think of will stoop so low to do such a thing...
She gritted her teeth, for a moment she thought he was good and... what was she thinking, befriending a slave is certainly out of question, that will be degrading her status, he is a slave and that is what he will always be..
"But princess, i fear for his safety, if the king finds out..
"No one will find out"Katherine cut in
"As soon as he gets better, he will go back to the working field"She added
"What if the prima finds out that one of the slaves is missing"The physician
"I believe the prima has other things to worry about,he doesn't care if one slave goes missing"she replied
She touch the boy bandage forehead..
"I fear he may have a concussion if not properly taken care of"The physician said
She turn her gaze to him"Concussion,could that lead to memory lost?
"It might, whoever he got into fight with, the person's fist cause a lot of damage to his head"The physician said
Katherine exhales"We pray that never happens"She said

AKPATU

CHIEF Mayo grunts deep as he gulp down a glass of wine, he drop the glass, wipe the tiny drop from around his mouth...
"I cant believe Odumodu will try to turn the chiefs against me"Chief Carlos said
"Me either, after all you did for him in completion of his hotel, he still turned around and stab you in the back"Mayo said
"if you haven't told me about that meeting, i wouldn't have know what they were planning"Carlos said
"So what do you intend to do now? Mayo ask curiously
Carlos smile as he pick up the glass and drank a little from it"As for the company, everyone money is safe, as for Odumodu, i will deal with him, no one mess with me and go free, a little boy trying to play games with his master"he scoffs, then continue"I will surely put him in his place"
"You know you will always have my support, after we are becoming family tomorrow"Mayo said,he pour himself a glass of wine..
"Cheers to family"He said with a smile and raise his glass,he knew telling Carlos about Odumodu plan was the only way to drift them apart, and the more he drift the chiefs apart, the less supporters Carlos have for the elite club election, he will surely become the chairman..
"Oh foolish Carlos"He thought to himself...
When he becomes the chairman and his daughter the queen, the kingdom and all the wealth in it will be theirs...he has six more idiots to deceive, after that, then his ultimate accomplishment begins

MOGULA

Zed watch as the slaves mode the blocks and carry them to the roof and the building ....
"Put that there"He said to a slave who did as he has said
"Excuse me"Francis said from behind him
Zed turn around to face him"You should be working "
"i need your help"Francis said
Zed look at the slaves again then he face Francis
"What can i do for you, and i suggest you be fast about it and go back to work"
"I need to see the boy"Francis said
"What boy?
"The one i fought with"Francis muttered
"You can't see him"Zed said then he turn back to face the slaves
"I really need to see him"Francis said
"Go back to work Francis"Zed replied without looking at him
"You don't understand, i can't just see believing everything is going to be fine when..
"That is exactly what you should be doing"Zed interjects as he turn to face him
"And for your sake, he should come back in one piece.."Zed added
Francis took a deep breathe, no one understands how he feels,he doesn't know if he should go to the palace alone but finding where they took the boy will be difficult, should he go back to princess.. That will certainly be a bad idea..
"They must have taken him to a healer or doctor, whatever you have here"
Zed sigh"What if they have, there is no way you can get near there"
"I can ask around"
Zed exhales"If she took him to the physician am thinking, i know a way you get to him but it will be dangerous"
"Am willing to take the risk"
"This is the last time i will do you a favour, and if you are caught, don't mention my name"
Francis nodded

******************
It was few minutes when Francis walked down the path Zed has describe for him, his mind was unsettled, until he sees him and he is sure he wasn't in any danger, only then will his mind be at rest...
fear engulfed whn he heard voices approaching his patg, he quickly hid in a corner, he cant risk anyone seeing him, he has taken a great risk leaving the working field..
He sigh after tge people has passed him, he came out from hiding and keeping walking speedily, then he came to a road that led to two paths, Zed didn't tell him anything about this two paths, which paths should he take now....
He wonder where the two paths leads to, the palace was so complicated....
"This way"Zed said from behind him..
"His heart gladen when he saw him"I thought you aren't coming?
"I know you will be confused as you are now"
"Thanks for coming"Francis said shabbily
"Just so we are clear, i didnt do this because of you, i did for myself, i wouldn't want to be the reason you are punished or probably beheaded when you are caught wandering and scooping around in the palace just the way you are doing now"
Francis grin"Still thank you"
"Lets be fast about this, the prima will soon be coming for inspection,we dont want to be here when he comes"
"Are you always scared of the prima? Francis ask
"Am not scared, the palace is a jungle, you either fight to survive or you die, its your choice, what am doing, its surviving"
Francis gritted his teeth, He is right though, the palace is a jungle...
"So how did you know where we are going?Francis ask
"When i was brought here, i was injured and the verge of death, the physician treated me, i visit regularly until i was stopped"
Francis inhale"He must be a good man"
"No one in Mogula is a good man"He replied
Francis sigh...

******************
It was few minutes later when they got to the hallway that leads to the physician court..
"You think he was brought here? Francis ask
"Shut up, if you keep talking people will know we are up to something.. "Zed replied as they walk fast
Francis followed him without hesitation
"Is here"Zed said when they got to the door
"Should we knock? Francis ask anxiously
Zed look at him then he look away, he knocked on the door but no reply came, he knock again still no reply..
"No one is inside"Francis said
"Stay behind me"Zed said as he turn the knob and the door open.. He peep inside but there was no one in sight, they quickly rushed in and close the door
Francis walk around then he saw the boy at the extreme end of the wall
"He is here"He said as he ran towards him
Zed quickly ran after him..
Francis heart gladen as he saw he waw breathing...
"He is alive"He muttered
"Ya, now lets go before someone sees us"Zed said
Francis drew nearer to the boy, he loon at him, was he sleeping, he look at the bandage on his head... Shock swept through him when he look at his neck..
"Bruises"He muttered
"What bruises?Zed ask
"I only punch him, what are these bruises on his neck?He ask anxiously
Zed look at the bruises"Someone strangled him,if you didn't do it, who did?
Fear clouded his spines as he thought of who might have done it..
"Someone was trying to kill him"Francis muttered
"Who will want to kill a slave? Zed said
Francis thought of who but no one came to his mind..
"Could someone be trying to frame you? Zed ask
"Who? Francis muttered

GAVI grimace and cough out blood after the punch landed in his face, he spit, then glare at him.. His finger was still bleeding, the blood flowing down from his face became like sweat....

MOGULA

PRINCESS Katherine look outside from the window as Adesa weave her hair, the memory of Francis climbing out from the window hit her like a tornado, she smile as their discussion that day became afresh in her head..
"Princess"Adesa called out when she noticed her smile
Katherine fake cough, then she frowned..
"Are you done"Katherine ask
"Almost"Adesa replied wondering what could be making the princess smile to herself
The more Katherine try to wave the thought away, the more it keeps persisting,she knew for a fact she shouldn't be thinking of a slave like that.. She was inclined to see him but her instincts tells her it will be a stupid thing to do......
"Done"Adesa said as she remove her hands from her hair, Katherine stood up, walk up to the glassy mirror and preen at herself..
"Thank you"She muttered
"You dont need to princess, its my job"Adesa said
Katherine smile, though Adesa was her maid but she took her like a sister she never had, she doesn't ill treat her the way other masters treat their servants..... Adesa was her sister and a friend, and she feels comfortable telling her things a servant should never know...
Adesa watch her as she sit on the bed, the princess was the best thing that has ever happened to her, after her father's dead, the king has taken her in and given her to the princess as her personal maid, she has serve the princess with loyalty and honesty.....
"So whats your opinion on my father going to war with the east?Katherine ask trying to wave the thought of Francis from her head..
"The people are scared, they are saying if the king eventually goes to war, many lives will be lost"Adesa replied
"Do you think i should talk to my father?
"Princess, your father listens to you but it isn't a woman's place to meddle in thr affairs of men, war is for men"
Katherine sigh, if the war was a course for trouble in the kingdom, she was inclined to do anything she can to help..
She stood up from the bed and begin to pace around, why does the thought of him hunts her so much...
"Princess, you feel disturbed, is anything troubling you? Adesa ask curiously
"Nothing, nothing is troubling me"She replied with clenched
Adesa knew she was lying, she has spend a lot of time with her to know when something is troubling her, but she doesn't want to push the issue any further,instead she nodded..

******************
Francis sniff as he smell his armpit..
"Awful"he muttered
He need to have a proper bath, since he came here,the kind of bath he has had was washing his face,groin and legs and sometimes he pour water in his body, no soap, no Sponge, just water with a group of boys who takes no pride in stripping naked and it feels so annoying..
He grin as he thought of going into the palace just like the last time...
He chuckled at the thought, the last time was disastrous, he quickle in his spines as he remenbers how the princess saved him and Levi, such a cheerful heart but can she possibly be the twin sister of that idiot..
His thoughts were disturb when a group of slaves started shouting... He stood up from where he was sitting and ran to where they were shouting from..
The slaves gathered around forming a circle, Francis push his way in..
He grunts as the slaves started shouting FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Francis was inclined to separate the two boys from fighting..
He wink as one of the boys threw punch at the other who immediately rushed him and they clatter on the floor...the one on the floor who seem more stronger than the other push the other one from ontop him and then he climbed on him and begin to punch him mercilessly...
The weaker boy begin to bleed from his head,without hesitation Francis rushed for the rescue.. He try to get the stronger one from the weaker one top but the stronger one hit his nose with his elbow...
Francis grimace, then he touch his nose and realise he was bleeding, he became infuriated, he quickly pounce on the guy and they both rolled on the floor....he punch the guy then he begin to punch hard when the crowd yelling increases..
The stronger boy manage to throw him over and he hit his back on the floor but before the stronger boy could pounce on him, he elbowed his forehead and the stronger boy screamed, he stood up, climb on him again and continue punching him..
The stronger boy gasp for breathe as each punch landed in his face, Francis was so into the fight that he didn't notice when the rest of the slaves started dripping to a corner...
He punch him until he lost his strength, then he begin to breathe heavily,he stare at the guy bleeding face then he realise what he has done, he look around and saw the slaves looking at one direction, he look at the direction, shock swept through him as he saw her.., he look at the stronger boy, what has he done, what could have posses him to carry out such action, he took a deep breathe, stood up erect, he couldn't raise his head to face her, he must be a disappointment....
"I see you made a punching bag for yourself"She said
He sigh, the tone of her words really hurt him, she must think he is a monster
"To fight is a punishable offense, do you know that? She ask
Francis couldn't say a word, he was so ashamed...
Adesa ran to the the stronger boy on the floor,he was barely clinging to live..
"Princess he need help"Adesa shouted
"You better pray to any god you serve that he doesn't die, because if he does, even i can't guarantee your safety"She said
The words hit Francis like a tornado, it was more like his heart has been ripped out, he sniff as a tear drop from his eyes...
She walk close to him, Francis couldn't look at her face, he bow his head instead...
"I thought you were different, but you are the same, you are just like those street hooligans, and such people dont deserve my pity, you will face the consequences of what you have done"She said..
Francis watch as a few slaves carried the stronger boys with the princess and Adesa leading the way..
"What have you done Francis, the Prima will punish you for this"Zed said
Francis grunts, the prima was the least of his worries, the only person who cared for him since he arrived here has just walked out because he couldn't control his stupid anger..
He shrugs when Levi touch him on the shoulder
"Always, your big fat mouth and your ego keeps getting you in trouble, thank the gods you didn't drag me into this one"Levi muttered
"In the name of the gods, what were you thinking?Levi blared out
Francis sigh, he was so ashamed of himself..
"We can just pray he doesn't die"Zed said
"What happens if he eventually dies? Levi ask curiously
"When a slave kills his fellow slave, the punishment is death"Zed replied
"The punishment for everything here is death"Levi added

GAVI groans as Rick blindfolded him, he was inclined to kill him right where he stands but his hands were tied, what can his legs do...
"What are you going to do to him?William ask as Rick pushed Gavi through the bush part
"You are walking to the road"William added wondering why his brother has suggested they bring Gavi out of where he was kept and bring him to the bush, now he was taking them to the roadside, what exactly is running through his brother mind..
Rick stood in a corner holding Gavi by the shoulder when they got to the road side..
"Exactly what is your plan? William ask
"You will find out soon enough"Rick replied
"Just kill me bastard"Gavi blared out..
Rick smile as the first car pass....
"We can just kill him here in the bush, what exactly are you going to do to him on the roadside? William ask
Rick grin as a big truck started driving speedily towards them, he held Gavi shoulders firmly...
Gavi could feel the rapid pounding of his heart, it shouldn't be what he is thinking....
"Dont tell me you are going to push him.... "
"Run bastard"RICK muttered when the truck was close by, then he pushed him on the road...
The driver tried to control the steering but he couldn't, the tyres smashed Gavi body and his blood splash on the road..
"Oh my God! William exclaimed in shock
"Lets get out of here"Rick said, drag William by the hand and disappear into the bush..
The truck driver stopped, and hurriedly came down..
Fear engulfed him when he saw Gavi smashed body with his intestines and blood filling the road, he cover his mouth with his hands, he hurries back into the driver seat and zoom off before anyone sees him...
"You are evil"William said as they walk along the bush path to where they parked their car..
"I gave him a painless dead"Rick said
"Yes after torturing him"William retorted infuriated..
"So what now smart one? William blared out
Rick took a deep breath, though he felt pity for Gavi but he deserves it, he deserves every bit of what he got....
"Now i elope with my princess"He muttered

It was a sunny afternoon, people can be see walking in all parts of the hotel...,those at the bar dancing to the tune of the music that was been played...
Chief Odumodu, Chief Joseph, Chief Azuka, Chief Marcus,chief Ayo gathered at the conference hall, they sat round a table, with a bottle of water placed in their fronts...
Some of thr chiefs wonder why Odumodu has to call such an urgent meeting...
Odumodu look at their expression then he realised they were agitated to find out why he called the meeting...he wonder if some of them already knew what he was about to disclose..
He took a deep breathe, then he cleared his throat
"Some of you might be surprise why i called this meeting,the issue was rather urgent"
"What is it Odumodu that cant wait till am back from the office"Chief Ayo said
"Yes tell us Odumodu, what is so urgent that you have to call us from our various locations"Chief Joseph added
"I hope the content of this discussion is worth our coming here,because if it isn't i will be very angry with you"Chief Azuka said pointing fingers at him
Odumodu exhales, he wonder why Chief Mayo hasn't come yet, though Chief Mayo has given a flimsy excuse that somethings were holding him behind..
"You all know how we have invested in the companies the late king have, there comes a time when the company name was changed into another name because it wasn't a one man's business anymore, almost all of us here has squander millions of naira in those companies.. "Odumodu said
"Odumodu, what exactly are you trying to drive out? Chief Ayo ask curiously
"Someone is trying to turn those companies to his own"Odumodu said
"Those companies were initially started by the late king but with our support it grown into a large entity but the king is dead, who would dare turn a company we have laboured so hard for into his personal business"Chief Joseph said
"This is the reason i called for this meeting "Odumodu said
"Tell us who would dare to do such thing"chief Azuka said
Odumodu gritted his teeth,he wonder if the rest of the chiefs will do anything even if he tell them who is behind it..
"As the board of directors, we should know every move one takes before he takes it, tell us whi this person is and i shall put him in his place"Chief Ayo blared out
A moment of silence engulfed them,just them the conference was push open...
Shock swept through Odumodu when he saw a man with a gun, he became infuriated when he caught gaze of Chief Carlos..

KABINA hit himself as he felt something on his back, he look around the place, the place was filled with mosquitoes and flies, how can the king lock him up in a prison, him a prominent and a well known minister, the king has certainly bitten more than he can chew...he look at the barricade that was cemented to the wall, even if he wanted ti escape there was no way, the only way he can is with the keys to the gate... he felt relieved when he saw Uda with a guard heading towards the prison...
Uda stood outside the iron barricade since there was no way he can go in...
"I cant believe the king will still keep you here"Uda said
"I doubt he hasn't forgotten am here"Kabina replied...
"How are you coping in here? Uda ask
"You mean with rats and flies running and sucking out my blood.. "He sniff, walk to the wall rhen turn to face him again.. "You should be carrying out what we planned"
"Killing him wont be the solution.."Uda said and look around but the guard was out of earshot.. "I spoke to the prince, he promise to speak to him"
"The king is a zealot, he cant be reasoned with, the only way we can stop this war is killing him"
"It won't be easy"Uda said
"Think of the lives you will be saving, if this war eventually happens, your wives your children, they will all gi down for the kings foolishness including yours if you dont act now"Kabina said
"I cant do it alone"
"Am in prison, am helpless, a king that imprisoned his own Minister just because he pleaded with him is not the kind if king we deserve... "Kabina said
"I will talk to him to release you"
"Kabina scoffs"Dont be surprise when you end up here with me"
"Dont worry my friend"Uda said
"Whatever you do, always think of what our lives will be if we go to war"Kabina said
Uda nodded, then he turn and walk away

*********************
Odumodu glared at Carlos, he wonder how Carlos knew they were gathered here, could any of the chiefs have told him..
"You arrived just the right time, Odumodu here was just about to tell us who turn a company we laboured into his personal business"Chief Ayo said
Carlos stared at Odumodu who reciprocated the look
"I did"Carlos blarex out
The chiefs look at him shocked
"All i did was changing the name to the kings name, i didnt turn it into my personal business... "
"Why would you do that Carlos?Odumodu ask
"The late king change it from his name because it wasn't a one man's business, why would you change it? Chief Joseph ask
"Perhaps you people have forgotten the companies belong to the late king and as tradition demands, whatever the late king owns will be transferred to the present"Carlos said
"To the present means the late king son which is obviously not the situation "Odumodu said
"Perhaps you all have forgotten how the late king family died"Carlos said
He waitef for reply, when none came, he smiled then continue"Your money is safe if that is what you are so afraid of, the name might be changed, but the operations remains the same"
"Why would you do that without informing the board of directors?Chief Azuka ask
"Well i knew the truth will eventually come out as it seems now"Carlos said
"That is not an excuse Carlos, every shareholders in that company deserve to know everything happening there, you acted alone which is against the rule"Chief Odumodu said
"Are you going to penalize me?Carlos ask
The chiefs turn their faces away
"Lets drink and merry and forget this ever happen, we are good friends we shouldn't let little things spoil this fantastic friendship that we have"Carlis added
Some of the chiefs groan while the rest supported him, Odumodu was infuriated, he has called for the meeting hoping to get them to penalize Carlos but they are scared, they have always be scared... He stood up, glare at Carlos then he walked out..
"To good living"Carlos said as he raise a toast with a glass if water..
Some replied while others just ignore...

****************
Odumodu groan as he got outside, he immediately took his phone from his pocket and dialed Chief Mayo number who pick after the second ring
"Am on my way"Mayo said from the other end
Odumodu exhales"Dont bother coming, the meeting has ended, it was a total let down"
"What happened?Mayo ask
"Carlos came"Odumodu said
"I thought you said you didn't invite him, how did he know? Mayo ask
"I dont know but i guess one of the chiefs must have informed him before coming.. You are right though, Carlos is going to take everything from us, if he keep playing smart with us, we will end up in the gutters, we need to take him down.. "
"Welcome to the club"Chief Mayo muttered from the other end

"Am one of the slave you gave donough"he blared out
She took the knife from his neck, then he gasp for breathe..
"Are you alright?Levi ask
Francis nodded...
"Come inside"She said paving the way for him
Francis was a bit scared, with unsettled mind, he climbed and went inside the room...
"Are you going to come or you are just going to stand there"She said to Levi
Levi exhales shapily,then he climbs...
She quickly close the door when he entered the room..
Both boys look at the room, it was like something they have never seen before.. ..
The bed was wide, awfully big for one person...
"So what are you doing here, were you spying on me? She ask
"Spy! Francis exclaimed, he thought of something to tell her.. "We weren't spying,we were just lost"
"Lost.. and you expect me to believe that, what would a slave be doing on my basement?She blared out
"Princess, please forgive us, it wasn't our intention to be in your basement, we were just walking when we got lost"Levi said and glance at Francis
Francis inhaled, he doesn't know if he should tell her the truth, but for what is worth, the truth will eventually come out..
"I wanted to leave the palace.... Not leave permanently"he said when he notice the stare in her eyes...
"I just wanted to see how the people were living,so my friend here tag along, so we lost our way and found ourselves in a tunnel which led us to your basement"He sigh when the last words drip from his mouth
She drop the knife on the table and sat on the bed..
Francis couldn't take bis gaze off her, she was really am epitone of beauty..
"We will appreciate it if you show us the way back to the rest of the slaves"Francis said
"That is the door"She said with clenched teeth
Both boys stare at the door, Levi shook his head..
"Thank you"Francis said as he drag Levi and begin to walk to the door..
"If we pass through that door, we are dead,except you have a good explanation as to what you were doing in the princess room"Levi muttered to him
"Its our only shot"Francis replied
As they were about to open the knob, a knock came on the door..shock ripped their spines, they quickly turn around to face the princess who stood up from the bed..
"Come on, hide here"She said opening a small door.. Both boys quickly ran inside, inside was tight, it was a small space, they folded theirselves inside as their legs hit each other..
She close the door, took a deep breath and then opened the main door the knock came from..
"Greetings princess"The guard said
"What is it? She ask
"We heard voices coming from your room"
She look around"Am the only one here"
The guard look around"Sorry for bothering you princess"The guard said and left..
She sigh and close the door.."You can come out now"
Francis push the door open as they creep out...both boys gasp for breathe... "Thank you"Francis said
Francis turn around and began to walk towards the door
"What are you doing?She ask
Francis stopped"Trying to get out"
"You cant pass through there, the guards will catch you"She said
"So we just go back to the tunnel"He said
"You cant go back there either, you might never find your way out"She replied
Now Francis was scared, he wonder what will happen if someone sees him and Levi here, his herat skip when another knock came on the door..
"Go back there"She said as she walks towards the door
"Back to that tiny hole?
"Do you have another idea, unless except you want your head to be use for a feast"She replied
"The tunnel was better"Levi muttered
Francis open the door and they both rush back into the tiny space, Francis wonder why such a tiny space will have a door...
"Stop matching me"Levi said as Francis step on his toes
Princess Katherine open the door...
"Vuga"What are you doing here
"Seriously, do i need permission to see my twin sister"Prince Vuga said as he enters the room
He sniff at the scent of the room..
"If you are looking for Adesa, she is not here, u sent her on an errand"Katherine said
Vuga scoffs"Why would i be looking for a maid?
"Because you have a hidden feelings for her"
"Stop, there is no reason in the world why i will have feelings for a maid....."
"Are you going to deny you dont secretly stare at her whenever she is with me?
Vuga laugh"I have thousands of girls that are begging me to be theirs, thousands of princesses and merchants daughters to be precise, so why would i be staring at an ordinary maid"
"You keep saying that to yourself"
Francis was suffocating...
"We should have hidden in the basement"Levi muttered quietly
Francis grunts, why didn't he thought of that....
"We are going to suffocate to dead here, and thank you am going to die in a tiny cupboard"Levi said and march his feet..
"Ahhh! Francis grimace and exclaimed
Vuga turn to the direction of the door"Did you hear that?

"Then lets make a general appeal first"Uda said
"You think that will change his mind?
"For his sake, lets hope so"

*******************
WAIT"Katherine blared out
"There is nothing there"She added
"I heard voices coming from here"Vuga said
"There is something there but is something you dont want to see"She said as she remove his hand from the knob..
"Whats in there? He ask anxiously
"Is a girly thing"She said not knowing what to say
"A girly thing that huge to make such tickling sound, am curious, what might it be? He said
A knock came on the door..
Vuga keep staring at the door and Katherine keep staring at him
"Its Adesa Princess... "She said from outside the door..
Vuga heart skip when he heard Adesa voice.. He fake cough..
"Come in"Katherine said
Vuga stare at her as she opens the door... He quickly turn away his gaze when he caught his sisters eyes...
"Greetings my prince"Adesa said
Vuga was inclined to look at her but his sister presence was making him feel uncomfortable..
"Well i hope to see this huge girly thing next time"He said with a smile
"of course"She replied
Vuga glance at Adesa, then he walk out of the room not looking back..
He took a deep breathe when he got outside, why does he always feel that way whenever he sees her, she is a maid and he is a prince... Their differences is too much..
He try to wave the thought away as he walk away from the room..
"You can leave now Adesa, i will call when i need you"Katherine said
"Yes Princess"Adesa said and left the room..
Katherine quickly bolt the door when Adesa was gone..
She open the door to the tiny space and Both boys came out sweating profusely..
"You must leave now"She said
"To the tunnels?Francis ask
"To the working field"She replied
"We cant possibly leave through that door"francis said
"You will leave through the window"She said as she led them to the window..
Francis peep through the window, all he could was roofs and Zincs..
"What do we do? He ask anxiously
"Climb out and jump on the roof, from tge rooftop, you will see a road, jump down to the road, take your right, it will lead you straight back to the working field"
Without hesitation, Levu climbed out on the window and jumped on the roof as the princess has said..
"Thank you"Francis said
She nodded with a smile..
Francis smile back, then he climbed and jumped, he look at her from the roof until she close the window..
"Can you believe it, she is prince Vuga twin sister"Levi said as they walk on the roof
Francis gritted his teeth, he wonder why such a kindhearted girl will be a twin to a wicked and soulless being.
"What do you think would have happened if prince Vuga have seen us? Francis ask curiously
"By now we would be kneeling in front of the king kneeling begging for only our fingers to be cut off instead of our head"
They jump down from the roof to the road the princess has shown, they took their right as she has said...
It was few minutes later when they got to the working fields
"Have you noticed the slaves are staring at us? Francis ask
"We are in trouble"Levi said as he saw Zed heading their way..
"Where have you two been? Zed ask when he got to where they were
"Emmm... "Francis stammered
"The prima is looking for you two"Zed said
Shock engulf both boys..they drag their feet as Zed led them to the Prima....Francis felt something prick his spines as the Prima stared at them with dark eyes, his face looks wicked, they were marks all over his face..
"Take them to the pillars and tie them up"He told the two guards that were standing with him..
The guards quickly grap them and tie them to a pillar, they were tied opposite each other...
Francis gasp as he saw one of the guard took a whipping rope that was stuck to his trouser..
Levi could hear his own heartbeat as the guard flung the whipping rope in from of him..
"Whip them"The prima ordered
"The next time i agree to go anywhere with you, punch me hard in the face"Levi blared out

EPISODE 30

Francis was scared to dead, he begin to mumble words in Levi hand that gag his mouth..
"Who is there? The voice came again
"Shut up, dont try to say a word or worse scream and in the name of the gods dont bite me"Levi said as he remove his hand from his mouth...
Francis gasp for breathe......
Levi lean his ears on the wall but the voices never came again nor the growling sound..
"What do you think was that? Francis ask still feeling scared..
"How would i know, is a dark tunnel, dangerous things live here... "
"Dangerous.... "Francis muttered as the word ring in his head...
"We should call for help"Francis said with shaking mouth
"Are you crazy,if anyone find out we are here, that will be our end"
"We will still die if we remain here, i dont want my skin to be shred to pieces by a tiger"Francis blared out
"You think that was a tiger,tigers dont live in Mogula especially not in a tunnel"
"Well one lives here because i just heard a spine tinkling roar"
"Whatever that is, we should find our way out if this hole you drag me into before it comes back"Levi said
"Are we just going to move into the darkness,take my suggestion lets call for help"
"I followed your suggestion and look where it brought me, am not listening to you again KA-RU, Your suggestions will get me killed or save for yourself"Levi said and then he began to drool his hands in the ground..
"And what exactly are you looking for? Francis ask looking around
Levi didn't reply he just keep searching until he found two sharp stones on the floor, he took three baskets placing them on each other and began to move forward into the thin darkness...
Francis had no choice than to follow him..
"Will you stop walking fast, i can barely see you"Francis said from behind him
Levi didn't reply, he just continue walking...
"Are we still in the palace or we are outside?Francis ask curiously
"Just shut up and keep up"Levi blared out
"Look am sorry, i was just curious, i wanted to know how the people live, i wanted to know their way of life"Francis said shabbily as he noticed Levi was infuriated
"I have told you once that your curiosity was going to put you in trouble.. "Levi said
"But we are not in any trouble"
"No, your stupid curiosity got us trapped in a tunnel where we might probably die and no one will find our bodies until it is rotten and becomes dust"
Francis grunts, now he was beginning to regret his decision, if he had know he would have stayed with the rest slaves....

*********************
HE rolled over to the other side of the bed, he was unsettled, he stood and sat on the bed, leaning his back on the wall... He wonder why the thought of her gives him so much boner...he was throbbing hard and he needed someone to take the load..
He stood and preen himself in the mirror,he wink at his hard erection burging out in his pant
It was very obvious the gentleman within his groin wanted sex.. Since he came all the girls who had seem have find one or two ways to avoid him, he was once a star, a guy any girl will want to drool over, but now he was nothing but a masquerade that scared people away and all thanks to that stupid dead girl who has reported him to the king..
He felt the inchy growth in his boner as the of the girl he has seen in the palace begin to creep into his head, her elegant naked body lying on top him and banging him senseless...
He began to rub his fingertips round his burging d**k, he let out a low moan as he felt the slippery gleet in his pant..
"Shit"He muttered...
He sigh as a knock came on the door, he quickly opened the door...
He smile as he saw the housekeeper standing there with a tray of food..
Tracy the housekeeper grunts at the sight of his body, he wasn't that heavily built, she try to avert her eyes from going down there but the sight was tempting...
"You like what you see? Jacob ask with clenched teeth
She quickly realise what she was doing, she shake off the silly thought that was pumping up in her head..
"I brought you your food"She said shabbily..
Jacob smile and pace the way for her to come in..
She went in then he close the door..
She knew what was going on in his head but she wasn't ready for it.. She drop the food and turn to walk away but he block her..
"I should go sir"She said, what kind of girl would she be if she starts sleeping with her boss son..
"I know you want it"Jacob whisper in her ears, he drew closer to her so she could feel his bulge but she shift aback..
"Am sorry sir but i cant do this, am really sorry"She pleaded
"I hate to say this but am very Hot right now, so please just this once and i will never trouble you again.... "he said as he drew near her making sure she feel every inch of his body..
She lost her balance and fell into the bed...
jacob smile as he begin to caress her legs...
He frown when a knock came on the door..., who would be knocking in his intimate moment..
"Who is there? He blared out
"Its your father idiot.."
Before Jacob could reach the door, his father opened it, Tracy quickly rushed out of the room...
Chief Buzo watch as the girl run out, then he stare at Jacob and his gaze met his growing bulge, without hesitation he slap him hard on his right cheek
"Are you crazy, raping that girl didn't teach you any lesson"Chief Buzo yelled
Jacob grimace to the effect of the slap...
"You dont have to hit me so hard to remind me of a dead girl"
"That girl is dead because you couldn't keep your pen*s in your pant, and now you stoop so low to bed to common housekeeper, are you insane?
Jacob didn't reply, he just walk to the window..
"Now i see why you came back, you came back to continue with your detriments so you can disgrace me one more time, i haven't recover frol the last shame you gave to me, one more shame to that and i will kill you myself"Chief Buzo blared out
Buzo took a deep breathe, he wonder why God gave him such a useless son..
"Your friend the king is getting married and here you are acting like a lunatic when you should be searching for a wife and give me grandchildren"
"So is grandchildren you want,i can give you many of that"Jacob said
"Get a life Jacob, get a life, and put on something decent other than this pant displaying your asset, it makes you look stupid"Buzo said, he glare at him and left the room..
"Well am in my room Dad, and thanks for the lecture"

*******************
Levi struck the stones together and fire came out, he lit the fire in the basket...the flames of the fire lighted where they were..
"How did you learn to do that? Francis ask curiously
"Simple logic"
"So what will we do if this fire goes off? Francis ask anxiously
"If this fire goes off, you are on your own"
Francis was a bit shocked by his reply..
"On my own, what do you mean?
"It means we are going to split up, you are dragging me back"
"Are you serious right now"
Francis sigh"It would have been better if phones were been use around here"
"A phone?Levi muttered shabbily..
"Haven't you seen a phone before?Francis ask curiously
"No i haven't"
Francis jump up as he saw something ran through a hole..
"Why do you keep doing that? Levi blared out
"I think i saw a mouse"He replied..
"Yes, we are in their territory, you are sure to see plenty of them"
Francis didn't mind his statement, he just walk up to the place the rat has pass through, he move his hand round the place...
"Oh no, its a door"He said
"A door"Levi interjects as he quickly stood up..
Levi begin to find the knob, he sigh when he found it, then he quickly turn the knob but the door didn't open..
"Its locked"He said with disappointment in his tone
Francis move his hand upwards, he quickly pulled down the bolt when he found it, then Levi turned the knob again and the door opened....
"Where is this place? Francis ask as he scan his eyes round the place, the only light shining in the room was the light penetrating from the holes in the roof...
"Its a basement"Levi said as he saw a wooden staircase..
"Where do you think it leads to?Francis ask anxiously
"Dont you know anything, basements are built in attachments to houses"
"An underground"Francis interjects
"More like that"
"So whose house is this? Francis ask, then he realise he just ask a stupid question..
Levi hissed"Probably the bad men house"
Francis stare at the staircase, he went towards it and place one leg on it
"What do you think you are doing? Levi hollered
"Well look at the bright side"Francis replied shabbily
"Which is? Levi ask curiously..
"Which is what? Francis said as he placed the second leg on the stairs
"The bright side idiot"
Francis wink, "I thought that was a figure of speech "
"Figure if what?
Francis didn't reply, instead he begin to climb, he was scared, his heart pumping fast than normal, but for what is worth, he knew it was worth the risk, whoever is there at the top, he will just have to cook up a story..
The door at the top was locked, he began to hit the door but no answer came, he hit it hard again still no answer came
"Come down idiot, you will get yourself killed"Levi hollered
Francis hit the door again but there was no reply, he took a deep breath, he wonders if anyone stays in the house...
Shock swept through when he heard the tinkling sound of the door, then light begin to shine in his eyes, he quickly close his eyes to avoid the bright light, then he felt someone hand grap his throat...
"You have one question to answer before i slit your throat,who are you? The voice said
Francis was scared to dead, with his legs shaking, he manage to open his eyes,it was a ferminine voice, her grip was soft in his neck but the knife she wad holding scares him...what was he going to explain,slowly he raise his head to meet hers.... He stood motionless with shock griping his spines
Was he dreaming, no it was definitely a reality, with the knife still held to his throat, with shaking mouth he muttered.... "PRINCESS"

"I came to see you"Rick replied with a smile in his face..
"Are you crazy, what if my father's thugs saw you"
"Relax girl, am disguised,no one will recognize me this way, even you my love, it took you a while before you recognize me"
She sigh"Still am scared, i will die if anything happens to you"
"Nothing of such is going to happen my love, our love is forever... "
"Forever.... "she repeated
"So how is my love doing"He said holding her face..
she blush as the soft touch of his palm in her chin, her heart gladen that he was here but she was scared that his presence here may put him in danger.. or worse..
Fear prick her spines as she thought of the possibility of it.."My love you should go before someone sees you here"
"Who cares if someone sees me"
"I care my love, my father might have spies here that i may not know of"
"But i just got here, and i really want to spend a lot of time with you"
"I understand my love, but the situation we are now won't allow us to do that"
"You should leave now my love,very soon we will leave togerther to a place where no one will ever find us"
Rick nodded, he hug her tightly then he released his grip from her....
"What are you scared of? He ask when he saw her expression...
She force a smile on her face"Am scared of you getting caught by my father's thugs"
"That will never happen"He said
Claude nodded shabbily..
"The next time we see, we will both be leaving"She said
Claude frown when a guard started heading their way..
"Lets go"She said as she drag him and begin to walk with him...
"Princess"The guard said when they met..
"Save it"She shut him off as they walk pass him...
She hug and wave him goodbye when they got to the gate, she took a deep breath when he was gone...
Then she begin to walk back to her room....
Then she saw the guard she has shut off earlier running towards her...
"Princess"He shouted after her..
She stood curious of what he has to tell her...
"Princess, the king ask for you"The guard said
Claude hissed"Where is he?
"In the inner chamber"
Claude nodded and sent him away, he wonder what that idiot have to say to her...
She headed for the inner chamber.., it was few seconds later when she got there...
She grunts when she saw him sitting on the throne
"I heard you had a visitor"Desmond said
"News spread fast around here"She replied
"So its true then"Desmond said feeling a bit of anger
"Every gossip here turns out to be true doesn't it? She ask back
"I see you love answering questions with questions"
"And i see you love knowing things what doesn't concern you"she retorted
Desmond knew he should be pissed off but he wasn't....
"What you should be thinking is getting married to your new bride, i heard she is beautiful"she added
Desmond wonder if that was sarcasm in her tone..
"Beautiful and well endowed than you will ever be"He said
"That i also heard"she said with clenched teeth
"I see you are jealous.. "Desmond said with a smile
Claude shrugged, she grin at him, then turn to walk away..
"Am not done princess.. "Desmond said after her
"Well am done king"She said as she walk away
Desmond chulkled..
"I will have you princess, like it or not, am your husband"he muttered

*********************
Francis exhales as he watch some slaves running around, he laugh as one hit the other on the head..
"Whats funny, you want to join them?Levi ask as he saw his expression..
"Dont you? Francis ask back
"If you want to join them, am not stopping you"Levi said
Francis chulkled...
"I wonder what outside here look like"Francis said
"You mean outside the palace? Levi ask
"Yes, aren't you curious?Francis ask
"There is really nothing amazing about the outside"
Francis glance at him"Still i want to see it, at least is better than sitting here doing nothing but staring at grown up guys jumping around like little children"
"Even if you want to go out, you can't do it, slaves are not allowed to leave the perimeter of the palace"
"What if we sneak out"Francis said impetuously
"what if you are caught?Levi ask
"What happens if we are caught? Francis ask curiously
"Well best case scenario, we move this blocks back to where we took them from"
"And worse case scenario?Francis ask
"We are probably use for sacrifice to ogini"Levi said
"I take worse case scenario"Francis said standing up
"Why?
"Well because, am a KA-RU, a beloved devotee, how can ogini accept his beloved devotee"
"Well, am not a KA-RU,and am totally not ready to die now"
"Come on, who will kill you?
"That is exactly what will happen if we are caught"
"We won't be caught"
"Do you even have any idea of how many guards that stand at the gate? Levi ask
Francis shrug as he try to remember how many guards he saw on their way to the palace... "No idea, but that is why we call what we are about to do sneaking out"
"We,!,there is no we, you are totally on your own"Levi said
"Come on, don't act like a scared kid, it will be fun"
Levi chuckled"Seriously i don't want to be involved in this your sneaking out and fun game, am fine here"
"Suit yourself"Francis said, he look at him again, when he realise he wasn't ready to move, he turn around and begin to walk away..
"Are you really serious"Levi said after him
"I hope you have a nice boring day"Francis blared out
"What is wrong with this boy"Levi muttered, then he ran after him..

********************
Rick groan and furiously threw his phone on the bed, the phone bounce and clatters on the floor..
"I dont see any reason why you should be angry, you saw her today right"William said
"Do you know how it feels to see the one you love and not be able to spend time with her"Rick blared out
"Am really sorry you are in this situation, if there is something i can do to help to ease your pains, i will gladly do it.. "
"Yes there is something you can do if you really want to help me.."
"Tell me, what can i do?
"Find those bastards who held me captive, she is scared they will find me again,those bastards held me for days, they treated me like an animal, do you know how it felt to be locked up in a dark room, i received blows and beatings for breakfast,Catch them Because i will like to return the favour to them... "

*******************
"Do you even have any idea of where we are going to? Levi ask as they headed to a narrow road
"Honestly i dont, i actually thought you do"Francis said shabbily
"What?
"So what would you have done if i havent tag along ?Levi added
"I knew you were going to follow me"
Levi scoffs"You know what, lets just go back"
"Come on, we have come a long way to go back"
"Are you insane, we are lost"Levi blared out
"This is the road Zed pass us through"Francis said
Levi look at the road, it was quiet, awfully quiet...
"This is nothing like the road"
Francis sigh as he saw a bright light coming from the end of the road..
"I think that is our way out"Francis said and begins to walk towards the light..
"You think that is the sun shining from there? Levi ask
"Yes, and probably our way out of here.. "Francis answer as he walk speedily towards the light..
Levi was furious but he had no choice, as much he hates what he was doing he didn't want to be alone..
Francis keep walking.., he was so in a haste that he didn't know when he step on a plank.. the plank turned over...
Francis scream as he begin to fall down....
"Francis"Levi shouted
Francis clatters hard on the baskets on the floor, he grimace as he roll over then he heard his name.. He quickly stood up, stare up at where he has fell from..
"Am alright"He replied when Levi called out his name again...
"Am coming.. "Levi said from the top..
"Dont.....
Before he could complete his sentence, Levi fell in the basket hitting him on the face, he staggered to a corner..
"I told you not to jump"Francis said as he try to regain his balance..
"When did you say that? Levi said standing erect on his toes
"I was about to before.......
"What a hole"Levi muttered cutting him short
"Do you think is a trap? Francis ask anxiously
"How would i know, such turnovers cant be there for no purpose... "
"So it was a trap then"Francis said feeling a bit scared
"If you had listen to me, we wouldn't be in a hole"Levi blared out
Francis look around"This isn't a hole"
"Its a tunnel"Levi added
"A tunnel to what? Francis ask anxiously
"To our graves stupid, what was i even thinking that made me follow you here, this will be the last time i will follow you to anywhere"Levi blared out
"Even to line up for food? Francis said jokingly
"I said anywhere"he said and begin to walk away
The more they walk in, the more the light that shines inside goes off
"Do you know where we are going to, because the way it seems we are walking blind"Francis said
"And all thanks to you we are going to die"Levi blared out
"What is your problem with death? Francis said
"Shh..
"Look i know..
"Quiet"Levi said cutting him short..
Levi lean his ears on the wall, Francis was curious, he lean his on the wall.. Shock swept through him as he heard voices from the other side of the wall..
The voices and the discussion became clearer..
Great fear prick Francis and he quickly move from the wall...
"Did you hear that? Francis ask anxiously...
"Shut up"Levi said
"They are planning to assassinate the king"Francis blared out..
Just then they heard a growling sound.. Great fear engulfed them both...
Their hearts began to beat rapidly.. Without hesitation Francis scream...
"Who is there"A voice sounded from the other side of the wall.
Levi quickly gagged Francis mouth...
"Your big fat mouth is going to get us killed"Levi muttered
