? KING ?
Goodness, Sharia why did you steal the meats ” I asked surprised”
My king, it’s it’s it’s ” ARIS cut in”
It was me who asked her to bring me some meats from Fanny’s soup, fanny please I’m sorry..I just wanted to prank you” ARIS said as Sharia looked at him surprisingly”
Fanny, did you hear what my son said? So stop blaming the poor girl” my wife the queen said ”
Now listen to me carefully,ARIS I think it’s time for fanny to leave your banquet before she ki||s an innocent maid” I said ”
What! My king..you can’t send me away..I and the prince love each other,we cannot live without each other” fanny said ”
Fine, since you two cannot live without each other then I should ask the guards to imprison you and the prince in the ice room for ten days, guards.. guards” I began to call as fanny knelt down saying ”
Oh my king… please don’t.. I’ll leave, I’m doing this for the prince,I don’t want him to suffer in the ice room” she said ”
Fine ,you may leave now” I said as she took off immediately ”
Father,that was too rude” arise said angrily as Sharia kept smiling ”
Listen son…that young lady can never be yours, everything we are doing is for your own good and hers, can’t you understand?” I said aloud when suddenly we saw the guards coming in bowing to me saying”
Greetings my king,we have a good news to announce ” they said”
Speak” I commanded”
My king,the snake girl has finally arrived ” they said as I and my wife looked at each other happily”
Yes…yes….ARIS.. your wife has arrived ” I said happily as Sharia said”
My king… should I bring her in??” Sharia asked as ARIS looked at her angrily”
Just shut your mouth and stay away from this ” ARIS said angrily about leaving as my wife held him back”
Hey.. don’t leave yet.. even though you wouldn’t want to see the snake girl now you two will still get married in five days time,by the way have you forgotten what today’s day is? We will be going to babablu stream to offer some greetings to your dead twin brother” she said ”
? PRINCE ARIS ?
” It was true that today we were supposed to go say hello to my dead brother in the stream,you may be confused about this but you don’t have to be…..in this kingdom,the gods forbids twins…Any first child twin should be kept in the stream for the gods to take,it was a difficult thing to do ,but my parent had to do it especially when their the rulers of this kingdom,I grew up and was told the story ”
If it’s about my brother then let’s go but I will never say a word to that snake of a girl” I said angrily leaving as they followed me behind ”
We got outside and saw the snake girl standing with a snake shell round her neck,she wasn’t even beautiful the way I expected….I didn’t say a word to her but mum and dad rushed to her and hugged her tightly saying”
You’re welcome my dear” they said as she smiled”
Thank you my king and queen ” she said smiling”
Omg the snake girl is here ” Sharia said happily rushing out as the snake girl looked at her surprisingly with her eyes opened…”
Hi snake girl, I’m Sharia ” sharia said with a handshake as the snake girl kept looking at her surprisingly”
Mum,dad.. let’s go .. it’s getting too late” I said angrily”
Guards.. guards..show her to the prince room..give her good food and water ” father said as I was about to talk but mum drew me away with her”
?BELIN?
My name is belin..one of the eldest in the kingdom….I live alone with my son master Medro.
I was cracking some cannels when I saw two pretty girls rushing into the compound.
I discovered one of them is the princess of our kingdom so I rose up immediately and bowed to her saying.
Greetings my princess ” I said as she rushed to me”
Old woman, please don’t bow to me …I should be greeting you” she said as the other girl rushed to the Stone and began to help me crack the cannels”
Old woman,you shouldn’t be doing this hard work ” she said”
Oh you two are so kind…. please what may I offer you” I asked”
Please offer us Master Medro..he hasn’t showed up for training and I have something important to tell him” the princess said ”
Oh really,he was having a rest but since my princess wants to see him then I’ll call him” I said going in as I saw Medro snoring”
Hey son.. wake up..you have guests ” I said as he stood up immediately like a soldier he is”
Mum,who are they” he asked surprised”
Just come with me outside “I said as he followed me”
We got outside and saw the princess and another girl..he bowed immediately to the princess.
Greetings my princess ” he said”
Master..you haven’t showed up for training ” the princess said”
I’m sorry my princess…I was having some rest..woo seems we have a new student ” he asked”
Yes..my name is Lydia ” she said”
You’re welcome ” he said”
Master Medro..I have something to tell you ” the princess said taking his hand as they all left”
What could that be” I heard him asking”
I looked on the ground and saw that the little girl had already broken all the cannels.
I was so excited…
Oh my poor Medro….
He’s so powerful and lovely, although he may not be my child but I’m still greatful to the gods for letting me take him.
I wonder which parent would think of abandoning their child beside the stream .
