When King Ekpeyong Abasiama heard about the latest attack on his people, he was so disturbed and wasn't happy. " What did this people ? Why are they fighting one another? Can't they just come here in peace, have their business activities in chaos, and then return to their various villages." " I think this person wants the Kinging of Abasia to take hostile actions against their inhumane behavior. Why would they be fighting one another? Why?" The king said to himself and continuously asked himself the question.A few minutes later, after being alone in his room, thinking of what to do next. A thought popped into his mind. " I need to call this child. I must want them all, especially Diana. I just hope she would yield to this. They to be careful of how she moves around the kingdom at this moment." "But we can't continue like this in this great kingdom. It has to stop." The king said. After a while, he then calls one of his servants inside his room. " I want you to call me all the pr
After the king was done talking to his children, while he awaits the arrival of princess Diana, he decided to go visit all his queens in their various rooms. Upon getting to Queen Riyal's room, the youngest and also the third and last wife of King Abasiama Ekpeyong, King of Abasia Kingdom. he met her laying on a sofa with one of her servants holding her left leg. She was in pain as the servant was massaging her ankle. Queen Riyah was known to be the daughter of the King of Mustachio kingdom in the southern region of the nation. She got married to King Ekpeyong Abasiama in appreciation for what Kingdom Abasia warriors have done for her father's kingdom. A civil war was about to kick off in the region but was put to an end by the warriors after Queen Riyal's father, the king of Mustachio Kingdom after had written to King Abasiama Ekpeyong seeking assistance and King Abasiama yielded to the pleading and five of Abasia Kingdom warriors were sent to put an end to it. Because of that,
On the day the King was supposed to dress up and embark on the journey as planned. Unexpectedly, all the chiefs and the prominent member of the royal council saw the messenger of the King at their doorstep." Hope everything is fine at the palace," said Chief Aranse. He happened to be the first person the messengers of the King will visit to deliver the message from the king." My Chief, may you live long, we are sent by King Abasiama to inform you to report to the Palace immediately after you get this message," said one of the messengers. "It doesn't things are okay in the palace, maybe something happened. This kind of unplanned meeting by the entirety of the council signified a bad omen. Anyways you can go. I will report to the place very soon." He said to himself. " Wait, Am I the only Chief the king sent you to? " Chief Ariane asked. " No, my Chief, we are sent to all the members of the royal council. "Thank you."Within a short time, the whole council is already in the palace, w
Princess Diana couldn't withstand what she was to witness from where she was peeping from the cart. Chief Madu and Dave were all scared, they all placed their face to the other side. They all loved Lancelot.Lancelot expected himself to be on the other side. But instead, he felt only an odd sensation of constriction. And then he realized what had happened. The arrow they had fired had missed. All of themBut that wasn't the matter. In a flash, he knew the men hadn't meant to hit her in the first place. Every arrow they fired trailed off the rope. He was now surrounded by a web of rope. Around her, the men were grabbing at the string and running in circles. He tried to struggle. Cut some ropes.But by the time he had figured out what was going on, it was too late. Half the deserters, some were female while some were male but majorly male, ran in one direction, half in the other. It was so clear from the smoothness and coordination of their attack that this is a tactic they had practice
For the next day and a half, not a single man spoke. They walked slowly through the sand, not wasting a single step or a single motion. Princess Diana was been placed on a camel so she could survive because they all knew everything about the desert would be new to her. Silly mistakes can jeopardize the mission. She must be safe and brought to their king without a single injury or on her.Princess Diana was a strong lady. Years of grueling training had toughest her mind and body. But one of the things you learned through years of hard physical labor was that everybody, no matter how hard it had been trained or prepared for a moment like this when it crossed the limits, the machine broke down.The toll of days in the desert had robbed her body of fluids and minerals that one evening of eating and drinking will not quite replenish. Around mid-day the next day, they left the shifting sand again and began winding through a series of barren foothills in the shadow of the range, slowly clim
After several hours of being tied to a cart. They all gained back their consciousness. None of them were able to know the hours they had passed out. One of the guards was able to cut himself loose. He then loosed others. They all thought of going after the deserters who kidnapped the princess but it would be deadly. No water and food to sustain them and they don't even know how far they had gone with Princess Diana. "I don't think it is good for us to go after the deserters. We have to find a way to save those who are injured before they bleed to death." Chief Madu told others. An hour later they walked into the dark, silent dunes. Chief Madu was not the sort of person to doubt himself. But now that he was out in the desert without Princess Diana by his side, He realized how foolish he had been. The Abasia Kingdom was to the east of the Daila Kingdom mountain. But simply plodding towards the rising sun was no way to get through hundreds of miles of shifting sand. There were no land
Several hours later, the return of Chief Madu and all other members of the entourage was announced in the Abasia Kingdom by a guard at the northern gate. Every member of the great Kingdom has been longing for their return. Traveling to the northern region is considered deadly and risky. Anything expected to happen to anyone during the journey. They might be attacked by poisonous reptiles or thieves. Every member of the kingdom knows what is entailed in the journey. They all believed that the King had no choice but to prevent them from traveling. For him to allow his beloved daughter Princess Diana to be among the people that traveled, the matter required an urgent response from both Kingdoms, Abasia Kingdom and Deila kingdom, for the welfare of their people. No one other people the King can entrust with this task than Princess Diana and Chief Madu to lead the entourage. The news of their arrival quickly spread like a wide fire. The chiefs and other people particularly the members o
Princess Diana chose that moment to grab a dagger very close to her and hurl herself at the king. Before should reach him, however, his man had grabbed their spear and leaped to their feet. They were too blindly fast. One of the guards grabbed her by the waist and wrestled her to the floor. He made a move as if to punch her in the face. But the king said, "No, no." His voice was gentle. But there was authority beneath the soft tone. Princess Diana admitted she is impressed. The man who'd tackled her raised his hands and stepped off her in response to the king's order. "I presume," King Lugard said, " that my friend Daujah has told you why you were brought here. I am sure you are aware too." She laughed. ' I don't believe you say such. You kidnapped a lady, thinking she will willingly submit to do what you have orchestrated for her. You must be joking. I would rather die before I submit to you." The king raised one eyebrow. " You could have thrown yourself on that spear point," he
