When he return to the garden, she wasn’t there. He didn’t mean to leave her. He only wants to clear his head and mind. He walked to her room, she was back facing him, she was talking to herself. He saw the flower on the floor, he picked it up and walk close to her. She looked up and saw him, she wiped her tears. He squat down and gave her the flower.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to leave you alone” He said. This is the first time he is using such word on her. He doesn’t know what is happening to him. She looked at surprisingly, it’s the first time she is hearing such word from the king. From the Almighty Henderson.
“It’s OK. Am sorry too. I shouldn’t have thrown the flower” She said.
“It’s alright. Who owns the flower?” He asked, staring at her. She tried to avoid the eye contact, but it wasn’t possible because his eyes is not ready to leave her body and face.
“I guess you wanted to give this flower to someone. Most be special right?” He said, she looked at him and nod her head positively.
“Who is this person?” He asked. She took a little time before she answered him.
“You. I want to give this flower to you” she replied and smiled. He looked at her smile. She stretched out her hand, he collected the flower and kissed her on her forehead.
“Thank you” He muttered and looked at her, something came across his mind, he wants to ask her some questions. He doesn’t know what she has done to him.
“I want to ask you something” Henderson said, “okay” she muttered, staring at him.
“Did you cast a spell on me?” He asked. She looked at him surprised. Her mind was beating fast. “Did you?” He asked, his eyes didn’t leave her.
“No. I will never do such” She replied.
“Do you have a spell on your vàginà?” He find himself asking her such question. It’s true that he has feelings for her, he loves everything about her.
“My vàginà?” She questioned.
“Am sorry i didn’t mean to ask you such question…” He stammered and looked away from her. He stood up and glanced at her one more time before leaving the room. He sat on his bed and poured the wine by himself, he can’t believe he asked her such question.
“d@mn! Do you have a spell on your vàginà? I can’t believe i said such word to her. How stupid” He said to himself and sip from the glass.

The next day, Omega drove out of the hotel and headed to her, he wondered why she hasn’t told him her name yet. Though he hasn’t asked her.
“I need to know her name” He said to himself, some minutes later he arrived at her house. He knocked on her door. She rushed to the door and opened it and saw that he was the one, she welcomed him with a smile. He walked into the house, she ushered him a seat.
I will get you something to eat” She said and left. He can’t say no to her, she is not like every other person. He has spent some time and days with her. He used that opportunity to set up the cameras. She arrived with a plate of food and drinks, he ones he bought for yesterday. He smiled and began to eat, she sat down and watched him as he eat and drank the juice. Soon he was done she carried out the dish and came back to him.
“Thank you” He said with a smile.
“You’re welcome” She replied with a smile.
“Let me tell you something. When king Raymond was alive he has a son named Roy. He got married to his childhood friend at the age of 16, while his wife was just 14, then Eve was just 10 when he got married, their marriage wasn’t up to a year. Grayson came in with his evil and heartless behavior. He poisoned the king and his son Roy. At that time his wife has given birth to son. He was so cruel, he ki||ed Roy’s wife. Before that Roy had asked me to take good care of his son, because he trusted me and his sister was still a little girl.
That same year he R@P£D king Raymond’s wife, She said and paused. He did it in the presence of her daughter Amelia, she cried as she saw her mother crying and laying curse on him. Amelia cried that night she was told that her mother is dead. She lost her mother, her father and her brother. I felt pity on her…poor child. She went through alot in the hands of her uncle” She said and wiped her tears.
Grayson took over the kingdom, he ruled like a heartless man he is. I was still in the palace by then. I make sure I took care of Roy’s son and Amelia. Amelia is a smart and brave child. I think Grayson didn’t know that she can rule her father’s kingdom. He would have ki||ed her. It is believe that a woman can’t rule the kingdom. But it’s a lie. King Raymond signed it that his daughter will rule the kingdom when he is no more. It’s left for her to say no” She said.
“Grayson became worse everyday by day i wasn’t surprised when i heard that he went to the other kingdom, which belongs to Harry. Who is Henderson’s father. He ki||ed his father and had his way on his wife, until she passed out.
After many years, he asked me to leave the palace. He humiliated me. Because i wasn’t in support of his evil doings. I clearly told him that Richard isn’t the kingdom son, i told him that he was just a boy from the village, who has no family and he believe me, that’s the reason he didn’t come for the little boy, i told Amelia to take good care of her brother and am glad she did” she said and paused.
“10 years later, i was sad and happy when i heard that Henderson ki||ed Grayson. I was happy that the evil man has gone and i was sad because i know that Henderson has come for revenge. It hurts me a lot when i heard that Henderson had captured the princess, Richard and her maid. She is just an innocent girl…. ..i prayed that the king will listen to you and me. He won’t listen to the princess he might think that she just framed up a story” She said.
“This is so sad. The king doesn’t believe me either, he thinks that am just saying it, because i feel pity for the princess” Omega said.
“I know son. He will believe you when he sees me” She said.
“What made you think so?” Omega asked.
“Because am not the only one in the palace, there many people who knows about this story, but they afraid to say it” she replied.
“Many people?” He questioned, staring at her. He still surprised that people knows about the past but they decided to keep it to themselves and let the innocent princess suffer.
“Yes” she replied.
“But why did they decided to keep it to themselves, even her own people” Omega said.
“Because they are scared. Scared that the king will them. You and i know that Henderson became heartless because of what happened to his parents especially his mom. It is the reason why he made the princess his slave” She replied. Omega knows that she is saying the truth.
“But something is not right. Raymond’s wife why did he have to do that to her”
“You asked too much questions” she said.
“I’m sorry” He apologized.
“No son you don’t have to be sorry. It’s good that you want to know everything” she said.
“You know Grayson is evil, he did the same to Henderson mother, i don’t think there’s any reasons behind that one. But for Raymond there’s a reason. You know when king Raymond was in high school, he met Diana, they began to date. Grayson was jealous and envious of his brother,he tried to take Diana away from Raymond. But she doesn’t love him, she reported him to the late king Stephen, he became angry at Grayson, he scolded him. Since then he h@ťěd his brother more and more” She said.
“Are they from the same mother?” Omega asked. She smiled and looked at him again.
“No! Raymond mother is the late king Stephen rightfully wife, she didn’t bear child for the king on time. Grayson’s mother is the king mistress. Stella gave birth two years after Ronda give birth to Grayson” She said.
“How did you know about this?” He asked, because looking at her, he knows that she wasn’t born then.
“My father works for the king. He was the king special advisor, that’s the reason why i was living in the palace. The king gave my father a house in the palace” she said with a smile.
“I’m sorry for interfering in your personal life. What about your husband?” He said.
“He died. Grayson ki||ed him. He had also refused to ki|| the late king Raymond. He knows that they were childhood. When Grayson finally ki||ed king Raymond, he ki||ed my husband” She said and wiped her tears.
“I had a son then, he was just 14 when I sent him away. Because Grayson told me that he will ki|| him like he ki||ed his father. I was scared i didn’t want to lose my son the same way I lost my husband. I don’t know where he is now, he won’t be able to forgive me” She said, crying. Omega console her and apologized once again for bringing up her past. She wiped her tears. He has many questions to ask to he can’t, he has spoiled her mood. While he was talking about how she sent her son away, it reminds him of his past too. He wipe his tears. She smiled at him and touched his chin. He gave her a smile and stood up.
“I have to leave now. Please take good care of yourself, i will come back some other time to check on you” He said with a smile. She nods and excused herself.
“I will be right back” she said and went to the kitchen and package the food and came back to him, she gave him the food flask. He thanked her. He was about to leave when he remembered that he hasn’t asked her if her name, he turned.
“What’s your name?” He asked.
“Miriam” She replied with a smile. He smiled and brought his phone and saved the record. While she was in the kitchen he use the opportunity to pack up, he removed the cameras, she didn’t know that he placed a camera in her house. He kissed her cheek before leaving. He brought some food stuff and clothes. Those who were leaving close to her, were whispering among themselves.
“Miriam! Who is he? He is so handsome” The elderly woman said.
