castle of orano

I sat like a log of wood looking at my wounded toe. ”ahh this is painful ” I said

trying to move my leg.

yesterday event kept playing in my mind

Nina has ran to call while I was in the

king dinning. she said the prince has

arrived. how possible I thought to

myself. on getting to the princess quarters, I saw all the maidens standing

what are they admiring I do not know!

”my lady! Nina called! well thats not..

the prince. the soon to be king.

Nina said and I looked at her in

confusion. ”he is not the heir? I asked

and she nodded.

” alright then I answered trying to walk

away.

” my lady! queen mehem has sent me to

call you!. Nina said and I stood with my

backs facing her.

”why? I asked

” I don know my lady! but she looks

calm and generous today. ”

” is that so? alright then I will go see

her. I said and as I was about turning to go, I saw her coming wearing a smile full of pride and trouble.finally she walked to my towards me. I stood unshaked wondering whats new with her.

”I was wondering why you can greet the princess ” she said gazing at me.

” when we are in equal position.is it necessary to greet? I asked not knowing if Im wrong or correct!. ”anyway, I can greet in my own will! I answered.

” its obvious you weren brought up properly! I only came to let you know about the rules govering this place.

first of all, you are the junior wife of the prince so,that means you will always pay

attention to whatever I say! ask for my permission before doing anything!.

moreover, you have been crossing your limits ever since you arrived! things ain done that way here.

she said and I kept nodding like a lizard Im not really interested in whatever she is saying all I wanted at the moment was to take a rest.

”your first task is cleaning my mansion that is what you are to do everyone does that! ” she said and I looked at her in disbelieve.

”why staring its not something new! Im the first wife of the prince and I will in the future become the queen of all queens ” she said smiling at herself.

and at this moment you have to pick my necklace she said pointing at the necklace on the ground.

”you must be joking ” I said looking at her

”no one jokes around here! and no one jokes with my orders! and no one! I mean no one! jokes with me!. ”

I looked at her and smiled before bending to pick the necklace.

”here is your necklace I said giving it to her.

” karama!! she called unto her maid pick this from her and give it out to the begger at the gate ”.

” why my lady ”? the young girl asked

” If you look clearly I do not use what low class bitches touched already! ”.

” so go! make sure you give it to the begger he will be very happy as this necklace weigh a lot! ”.

she said to her maid and I stood in total annoyance. I didn want to ruine my mood no! not at this time.

”alright then! mehem! I should be taking my leave ”I said turning to leave but she held me back by the wrist.

” tsk! didn your father give you enough food? you look so thin and pale! she said in a sacarstic manner. ”what have you been eating all this years? ” ooh! poor little thing! she exclaimed walking about me in a circle.

”you Know, you can always ask from my dog or my maids! they can give you their left over you know?. ” hahaha!! she said and laughed so loud.

” what is all this mehem? I asked in great annonyance.

”ohh! are you getting angry? I should be the one to get angry! you call me by my name no one does that around this place no one! she shouted in great annonyance and all the other princesses turned towards us. I have long forgotten they were admiring the prince!

they all ran towards us Wondering what the matter might be.

”ask everyone of them no one calls me by my name not even a lowly princess like you! she said really raged.

”why not? a person name is the sweetest Melody they will love to hear ever and ever again! so why don you like to be called by your name? is that you hate your name so much? ” I asked and everyone looked at themselves in surprise. I guess no one tries speaking back at her when ever she is talking.

”you are again crossing your boundaries!

”well, I am Diamond! you can call me by my name! I prefer that.my name is a melodies one. ” I said looking straight at her.

” wow! thats a lovely name! I heard the ladies say! what a nice name! someone complimented and that got her solely engraged she left in anger as I stood weakly Wondering what is the matter with her. I turned going to my mansion while other princesses Walked back to their quarters gisting to one another.

”you are trying to play with fire! ” I heard someone say from behind.

I quickly turned back it was princess mehem! whats she doing here? did she come to wait here for me? ” I thought as I stood still watching her move closer.

” you try to humilate me! in the presence of my subjects! ”

” subjects! those ladies are Royal! I thought.did she just call them subjects?

”you have again humilated me twice ”.

”I did not see wrong in anything I did. I only said what is supposed to.. I answered meekly.

”you are a fool! diamond!! you are a fool!

most people see fire and they keep running but you decide to jump into it I will make those idiots who supported you here today weep bitterly and I will do it in your very own eyes! she said turning to leave.

”I just let out a sigh walking back unknownly there was a coal on the floor without seeing it I kicked on it with my toe. ”ahhh!! I screamed looking at the ground very hot coals.

”hahaha!! I heard her laugh from the back. ” this is just a beginning she said and walked out in anger.

” my lady! sifa ran to my aid ” what Happened? she asked holding unto my long skirt.

” Im fine do not worry Im fine I said suppressing the pain. I do not if I have ever been burnt by fire.

I looked down on my toe and hissed bitterly while Standing to my feet.

”oh no!! how do I get to the garden now! I have been given the garden to look after for two weeks. why did my legs land me in so much trouble I lamented bitterly falling weakly on the bed.

”my lady! Nina called coming inside.

my lady I will be going with queen mother to the royal school on your behalf.she said I need to assist her with something ” Nina said walking close to me.

” don worry I can go with her I said sitting up on the bed.

” no my lady she has asked me to take permission from you.

”alright you can go. Im fine alone.

” I will be sending sifa to you! please take care she said and left.

” immediately I stood up walking outside I need to see the garden and also get the necessary tools required for this job! I said gently walking out.

while I got to the garden, I didn see the servant there!

”why hasn he come yet? I asked looking around.

” hey! are maybe looking for me? someone asked walking to the front of course I know that voice mehem!!

”hey! what happened to your toes? and why are you wearing such a long gown today? where is your scarf? she asked looking at me.

”ohh its here! she said touching my scarf hunged around my neck.

”isn it beautiful! I asked soothing my scarf!

” of course its really a cheap one! I bet your parents ain wealthy to rule thats why they sold you out to protect its kingdom and also for money ”!.

she said laughing mockely.

” I do not have time for this! I said trying to walk out.

” heyyy!!! get them here! she commanded a servant and five princess were brought to my front.

”what is this? I asked seeing her blocking my part as well.

” I will explain to you! she said sitting luxuriously on the chair.

”this girl here! she complimented you!

the other one praised your arrogance and the three!! forget the three Because they will meet their waterlo today! she said looking like the devil itself.

”so! I have brought them before you! so that their saviour will save them! she said with a pause standing up and ohh!!

I didn tell them you hurt your toe!

”oh dear! how can you be so careless?

” I wonder what you gain by doing all this things! your fellow wives! how can you reduce them to this? I asked looking at her with so much annonyance.

”I did not do anything to them! they brought this against themselves by going against my rules and orders!.

”let them go! I said with authority Don know if it will help any matter.

”I am in the perfect postion to decide whether they should go or not! she said pointing her fingers at me.

I gently used my palm to drop it down!

it seems you didn realize that your finger was also pointing back at you.so let them go!! I said again!.

”no!!! little thing! they can go!, no one of them will. she said giving them five a wipe at the back.

”hahah!! I told them you won be able to save them from me no one! ”you can even hold water ” then how will you be able!?.

”take them away give them a good beating and make them work without food! she said to the servants.

and they immediately took them away

one of the princess was looking at me in so much pity but I couldn do anything.

I ran off to my room and wept bitterly.
