In excitement, Amelia rush inside his chamber but she was dumbfounded when she saw Veal.
“What have you done? Why are you tearing your skin”Amelia asked as she rush towards him.
“Lia, I think something is wrong with me. I think I’m possessed, I think I’m not myself anymore”Veal sniffed.
“Wh@??ver you want to say, you will keep it in your throat until I finish cleaning the mess you’ve caused”She snapped and rush to the pool with a calabash, she put some water in the calabash and return inside his room.
She started cleaning the blood on his arm, hand, thigh and leg with cloth and water.
Veal stare at her while she do her thing.
“I did not forget you owe me an apology”Veal smirked.
“No, I don’t”She denied.
“I…”
“You are wrong my king, you asked me to call you your real name when you are fully aware that it is an abomination to call a king by his name. I cannot disobey the gods”Amelia explained.
“I have a question for you…If I and one of the god is drowning, and you have the power to help one person. Who are you going to help?”He asked.
“That question is weird”Amelia complained.
“Why?”
“How can a god drown when he is the one that put water into existence”She asked with a frown.
“Wow, I just want to test your ability of thinking”He laughed and Amelia shook her head coz she know that he is lying, he probably didn’t think before asking.
“I and Gareth then”He asked.
“I and Prince Gareth have no connection, I cannot leave the person that I have connection with, and save the person that I barely know”She replied and Veal face brighten up with smile.
“Done”Amelia informed when she finish treating his wounds.
“Thank you”He smiled and sit on his bed.
“I will go and report you to lady Hera, how could you do this to yourself?”She snapped.
“It’s my body”He snapped back.
“Oh wow, you did not realize it is your body when you saw me treating the wounds as if I’m the one that cause it”She roll her eyes.
“Do you know you are crazy?”He suddenly asked.
“Do you realize you are zany?”She also asked with a smirk.
“Do you know this is more disrespectful than calling my by my name?”He asked.
“I’m so sorry my king”She bowed.
“Stop the acts already”He snapped and they burst into laughter.
“What did you want to tell me the other time?”Amelia asked with seriousness.
“I want to tell you that you look ugly…” He stop to watch her reaction and he could see her glaring at him.
“You look ugly when you pack your hair in ponytail, let your hair down”He completed and she did not actualize when she smile.
“Keep on smiling, you look more beautiful doing that”He complimented and she use her palm to cover her red cheeks.
“Stop it”She laughed.
“That is disrespectful”He glared and she stop smiling.
“I’m so sorry my king”She pouted.
“Oh no”Veal groaned.

Yara is busy arguing with the guards coz they refuse to let her in.
“Do you know me? Do you know I’m the daughter of the great king Hobby? I guess you are not aware that is why you are acting like a madman. Let me tell you this; if I and Veal should reconcile, I will make sure he ki|| you. Føøl”She spat and walk away.
Yara walk to her chamber and she was surprised to find Lima there.
“Why are you here?”She asked surprisedly
“Is that how your mother taught you to greet your fiance’s sister?”Lima roll her eyes.
Yara fold her fist angrily before releasing a fake smile.
“I’m so sorry for that, I’m just too shock to see you here”She bowed.
“It’s fine, I came here to ask you a question and I want you to answer me sincerely”Lima started.
‘Why is she acting like that? I thought she is older than Veal with just a year funny enough; I don’t even know how old Veal is’Yara thought as she listen to Lima.
“I will answer you”She smiled.
“Why did you reject Ivan?”Lima asked, shocking the hêll out of Yara.
“I.. I… How.. did you… Know..?”Yara stammered.
“I’m so happy that you promise to tell me before I ask you the question” Lima smirked when she notice the look on her face.
“I’m sorry for that, but Ivan is totally not my type and I think I will be more useful to King Veal than Prince Ivan”She answered.
“So, that is the only reason you have to break Ivan’s heart, that is the reason why you made him cry? That is the reason why you make his heart ache? That is the reason why you make him think less of himself? That is the reason why you make him go crazy?”Lima yelled angrily.
“Princess Lima, I will advice you to calm down coz I know nothing about…”
“I don’t expect you to know that rejecting a man is so heartbreaking. I know that you are senseless since you choose Veal over Ivan”Lima hissed and walk out of her chamber.
“What was that? Why did she say those mean words to me? I can see she is a crazy type but I will advice her to make use of the little time she have to throw shades at me coz once I get married to Veal, I will stop this nice character”Yara roll her eyes.
“As for Amelia, she should be very careful coz I will surely kïll her if she interfere in I and Veal’s relationship again. I will just let this go”She muttered angrily.

Most ladies fall in love with his voice while some fall for his handsomeness.
🎶The trees cried, wail and begged for help
🎶The gentle water in the…
“Wow”Beatrice, Ivan childhood friend (princess) said from behind.
“What are you doing here Beatrice?”Ivan asked with surprise written all over his face.
“I’m here to check on my fiance”She smiled.
“Fiancee??”He asked, just to be sure of what he heard.
“You heard that right”She winked.
“You must be a joker”He suddenly laughed.
“Joker? Ivan tell me the reason of our friendship if we don’t get married to each other? I have search and look for someone that I can love and trust but, it is in vain. You are the only one that my heart want. I’m sorry for not informing you before I tell your father and the mother and they have agreed to it”She apologized.
“Beatrice, what are you talking about? I thought, I told you that I want to get married to the person I love and you also said you will marry someone that you love. What happened to the promise? Why did you backstab me”He yelled and she flinched.
“You don’t love me?”She asked.
“You don’t know? I love another person! Even if I love you, I will never marry you. I can’t even love you”He snapped.
“Prince Ivan, my king and queen asked you to come to my king chamber”One of the guard announced.
“Beatrice, leave my chamber, I have to see my parent”Ivan fake a smile.
“I can see you are still mad at me but this is for our own good, I thought you love me since we have being friends for a long time”Beatrice said with a smile.
“You know better than anyone that I love someone else”He snapped.
“Please leave”He added.
“You can go to your parent, I will stay here and wait for you”She assured.
“No, I can’t trust you”He snapped.
“What? Ivan this is getting…
“Leave!!”He yelled and Beatrice slowly walk out if his chamber.
He groaned before proceeding to King Myra’s chamber.
“You sent for me father”He bowed.
“Yes, I did. I’m so happy to hear about you and Beatrice, should we start preparing for weeding?”King Myra laughed.
“I can’t believe those two will end up together. Coz I clearly remember the day I asked you if you wish to get married to her and you throw a fist that day”Queen Diana mocked.
“I don’t love her”He bowed.
“Ivan! What are you saying? Are you trying to break a woman’s heart”Diana yelled.
“I don’t care whether you love her or not. You and Beatrice are now couple so, get ready for your marriage. You are twenty seven years old , you are old enough to start a family of your own”King Myra snapped.
Ivan slowly go on his knees and bow his head.
“Beatrice, must have said some stupid things for you to choose her but trust me, she is not the woman for me. I have another person that I promise to marry. I don’t want Beatrice”He begged.
“Ivan, you know nothing. When I was young, my father is the one that tell me to marry your mum and my other three wives because People from royal family are not expected, to fall in love, they are meant to be with a princess from another clan. You can get married to Beatrice and also marry the girl you’ve promised. There is nothing bad in you getting two wives. What do you think Diana?”King Myra laughed.
“My king, I don’t really like Beatrice. Not because of anything but because of the clan she come from. King Joel is known as a bad king”She reminded.
“That is a good point but I don’t want Ivan to stay single. I will give you two weeks to search and bring the person you want to marry”King Myra, said.
“I promise to bring a beautiful Princess”Ivan bowed and walk out of happily.
“I should go to Sukrish clan and ask Yara out again. I bet she will accept my proposal now” He said proudly.

Lucas and Queen Ebbe are currently laughing as they are talking about Veal’s expression.
“Anger, will probably be the cause of his death”Lucas laugh more.
“Of course”Queen Ebbe chuckled.
“That reminds me, who is going to be the king if Veal finally die”Lucas asked and queen Ebbe was mute for some minutes.
“That means, there is another battle ahead of us”Queen Ebbe sighed.
Queen Zuriel and Ebbe join hands in ending Veal, it is so surprising that this two get along but they think the best thing for them to join hands and accomplish their aim.
“How did she even ask you to join hands with her?”Lucas asked and Ebbe chuckled.
***FLASH BACK***
Zuriel sat on the bench at the back of her chamber, she is so lost in thoughts, she is busy thinking if the plan she have for Veal downfall is enough to bring him down.
She went to the market today and she couldn’t believe her ears when all the sellers and buyers are praying and saying good things about Veal, not even a single person say bad thing about him.
The villagers may choose a king that did not have heir but treat the villagers nice over the king that born so many children but did not favour the villagers.
“Are you here thinking about how Gareth will defeat Veal?”Queen Ebbe who is passing by mocked.
The maids have went to bed and Zuriel order the guards to leave her alone, saying she want to be alone.
“What are you doing outside by this time queen Ebbe”Zuriel smirked.
“Nothing much”Ebbe smiled.
“I’m sure you will be thinking of a way to end Veal”Zuriel smirked.
“I don’t have to think about that, he is a piece of cake”Ebbe smiled.
“Oh”
“I can see you are eager to know my plans but I will only tell you if you can help me”She smirked.
“What help do you need from me? You know there is nothing I cannot give you so, split it out”Zuriel smiled.
“Wh@??ver, how can I add this to Veal’s food? It will make him aggressive and at the end, the anger will be death of him”Ebbe smiled.
“Wow, I always knew you are a senseless being but you just prove me wrong”Zuriel laughed.
“Shut up wïtch”Ebbe roll her eyes.
“To add the substance to his food is the simplest thing”Zuriel smirked.
****FLASHBACK END****
“You know Queen Zuriel is crazy, she may reveal that you are the one that plan to hurt Veal”Lucas snapped.
“And you think people will believe her? No one knows, your mother is crazy”Ebbe smirked.
“As I said, we have a long way to go coz we have to end Gareth once Veal die”She added.

“What? You join hands with queen Ebbe? Can’t believe she also h@?? Veal”Gareth shook his head.
“She think if she end Veal, Lucas will take over the throne”Zuriel laughed.
“What? How is he going to take over the throne when I’m alive, healthy and strong”Gareth also laughed.
“I’m sure Ebbe will try to harm you but trust me once Veal die, I will end Lucas”She smirked.
