Upon getting home Tamera headed straight to her father's room all ready to give it all up. She pushed the door open revealing a distraught Marcus who sat sprawled on the cold ground looking miserable
"Father?" she walked over to sit next to him, "Father is anything the matter? Why are you sitted on the floor?" Marcus lazily turned his gaze towards her then back to space
"Father talk what is wrong?"
"I am done for Tammy...its over!" he said looking straight at her
"Father i will marry Nathan, i will do it just get up we will chase mother's dream together okay?" he gave a faint smile before taking her hands into his
"You do not have to marry Nathan anymore. Father was just selfish to want to sell you off. You can marry whoever you want now Tammy. Dont marry Nathan."
"Huh?"
"I will sleep now i am very tired. Lets talk tomorrow." he said struggling to get up to which Tamera helped him. Leaving him already snoring, a confused Tamera
A big blue truck stopped by the roadside the driver getting out to go and relieve himself. Xavier and his companion looked on until he was fully distracted before sneaking into the back of the truck"What are we doing?" Xavier whispered once their backs kissed the cold truck floor to secure their hiding"Shh." said the man as the driver got into the car and took off. The motion was like nothing Xavier had ever felt and it was a good feeling"What do you call this?" he asked the man who spared him a quizzical stare"Call what?""This!" he whispered looking around, "Where i come from we travel in carriages i have never see this kind of transport." the bald man ignored his squims choosing to admire the fresh blue sky instead"I did not get your name...i'm pri...i mean...my name is Xavier.

"Mommy! Mommy have you seen Sham?" said Xavier popping his little head into the room. His mother sat by her bed with two maids fixing her hair"Xavier, you always think about shamma. Come over here and say goodmorning to mommy." Xavier scratched his neck shyly before moving forward. He climbed onto the bed and kissed his mother's forehead. He was so adorable, a cute little ten year old"Goodmorning mommy."he said shying away"Goodmorning my love how did you sleep.""I slept just fine but i did not find Sham when i woke up.Where did she go mommy?""Sham went to see her mother. She will be back later love.Now go take your bath let us have our breakfast." she said rubbing his hair but t
"Your lordship,how are you today?" A not so old man around the King's age said after bowing to him"Marcus,you have finally heeded to my call,welcome and please sit.""Your royal highness."a smaller voice said bowing low before the great King of Luyota."Beautiful Lady Tamera.Welcome to my palace my daughter."he said to the little girl who gave a wide grin before getting up and going on to sit next to her father"So how is our little Miss doing today?"the king asked Tamera who smiled before responding"I'm doing well your highness, and how is his royal magesty doing today?""I am very fine too,you look lovely."
"Marcus." a voice called out to Marcus who was fast approaching the palace gates on his way out.The queen gracefully approached with two maids rallying behind her"Were you seriously going to leave without seeing me Marcus?""Aurora. Looking ravishing as always.How are you and the little one?"he said in reference to her growing tummy"We are doing very well thanks."she said looking at Tamera whose gaze was fixed on the ground,"And how is our lovely lady doing today?Were you going to leave without seeing me Tamera?""Forgive me your highness."she said with a bow earning a smile from the Queen"I heard Tamera was playing with the others outside.Good to see her getting along with Xavier
Shamma peeped into the Queen's private chambers the next morning in search of Nathan.He had left them playing the previous day and never came back"Maam?"a small voice had the Queen turning to trace it.At the sight of Shamma her face cringed and Nathan was quick to hide behind her"What do you want?!""Greetings your royal highness." said Sham fully imerging and bowing before the queen. Aurora stared at her with distaste while Nathan peeped from behind his mother"What do you want you wretched commoner?! You want to trap my son too dont you?""No no no i would never. I just want to play. Xavier asked me to bring Nathan to play outside.Natty come lets go play."she said voice so pure a
Aurora's carriage swiftly drove into Marcus' home.A neat well kept house clearly attributing its ownership to a noble,a high ranked official.The carriage came to a hault a short distance away from the door and the maids quickly ran off to stand by the carriage door as one of the guards opened it.Flowers were scattered on the well swept ground as the Queen made her way into the house"Her royal magesty,Queen Aurora is here!"a maid called out before a servant emerged.An old man in ragged clothing who quickly took to the ground at the sight if the Queen"Long live the Queen.""Old man,announce my presence to the inhabitants of this house,my feet are killing me already." The man did not need to be told twice.Soon a beautiful and well dressed lady around the queen's age emerged and gave a s
"Your highness." a girl came running the moment Aurora set foot into the palace"What?""The prince,we cannot find the Prince everyone is running about but he hasnt been found yet.""What?!Nathan has gone missing under your watch?""No no your magesty Nathan is still playing with lady Tamera.It is Xavier we cannot find.We cannot find Shamma either." Aurora's face softened at the sound of that report.Her Nathan was fine and safe,so how was Xavier her business"My Queen the guards have gone in search of them i promise they shall be found.""Ofcourse they shall be found i mean...who would dare place their hands on the crown Prince of L
