Chapter 163 - IN THE PALACES!

THE KING'S PALACE BENIN:

Your majesty, I heard the good news.... the Princess is on her way back and that too to prepare for her marriage and perform all the ceremonies to that Prince in the west.

Chief Oghenetega rushed into the palace as he paid his respect to the king brimming with smiles and excitement, you will think it was his own daughter's nuptials. The King, however, had learned long ago how to differentiate between fake and empty vessels but chief Oghenetega wasn't one of them.

He smiled at him as he nodded his head and responded to him, Chief Tega all you have heard is true and am relatively expectant as am excited, you know, considering the prophecy of old which is related to the Princess bringing peace between us here in the south and the kingdom in the West.

You are correct my King, as exciting as this news is we have to be careful to make sure the Prince is the right one, maybe I and one of the chief can go visit the seer to confirm this matter.

Ah! yes! do that although when the Princess told her father about it we had invited a strong herbalist from the community to confirm the matter and he gave us his assurance that the Princess found the right partner and our days of Prosperity and Peace was finally here. Still, I will enjoin you to do as you have suggested and go to the seer to reconfirm it for us.

I will gladly do that, your Majesty, Chief Oghenetega answered.

I was reliably informed that they are aware of this Prophecy as they also received it during the birth of the present crown Prince, this greatly impacted the Prince so much so that as regal and handsome as he is he was always relatively keeping his distance from the opposite sex.

Hahaha! I have been thinking about it all your Majesty...

What about Chief Tega?

How did they find each other? I mean this is so amazing or did the herbalist do something?

Chief Tega! did you forget who your Princess is? The way I see it that Prince would not be simple too.

Oghene! how can I forget? our Princess is awesome and has a discerning mind too she must have known that he was the one once she met him.

They both found each other in a foreign country and have decided to fulfill destiny so there would be peace for decades to come. I need the best people on the ground to plan a grand welcoming party for the Princess. I intend to leave it to the Queen to take care of.

Haha! that will be good your Majesty! I will proceed to chief Osaro's house so we can go to the seer's place.

Do that! they will be arriving this evening we should have the response before they get here. I will be waiting, for something big is about to happen in the land of Benin! he could already feel it.

Chief Oghenetega left and the King asked one of his men to inform his queen he wanted to see her.

THE KING's PALACE OYO KINGDOM:

Who is there? His Majesty King Adeyeye called out.

Your Majesty! you called, one of the blackguards came forward and bowed paying his respect.

Ah! Yes! go and invite all the royal chiefs to the palace for an emergency meeting. Yes least I forget to, make sure to invite the chief priest too.

On it your Majesty! the blackguards responded.

Picking up his phone, he called his wife Olori (Queen) you know our son is returning to make us proud and I have already sent for the high chiefs please instructed your people to prepare some delicacies that the chiefs can snack on.

Yes my Lord! I will arrange everything, even for this evening, I can't hold in my joy.

Thank you, my Queen.

Kabieyesio! kabieyesi!! someone screamed from outside.

Tani? Who is that? take it easy, and watch the ground as you come in King Adeyeye enthused. He understands why his chiefs we're delighted and enthusiastic.

Your Majesty! Emi ni o ( am the one o) Kabieyesio he bowed as he paid his respects to the King.

Ah! ... Ah!!! Otun it is you? Welcome, greetings my friend, I presume you have heard the good news too? King Adeyeye inquired.

Yes your Majesty, as he held his traditional attire and danced round in a song saying " Peace has come knocking, wealth has come knocking, who does not love peace should go to river Osun and drown himself, but for me, I will open my door and embrace Peace and wealth to my chest".

Heyeee! Otun! you can still sing and dance well please seat down, take your seat, my good friend.

Yes Oba mi ( yes my king) this is really good, wait o your Majesty is it still with that Princess we ran a background check on previously?

She is the same one, but just to be sure I have asked that the chief priest be called in too, we can't afford to get this wrong at all.

That's a good idea, Otun agreed.

They will be arriving here tonight but the Crown Prince will have to go drop her at her home first before coming here, I hope he gets to see her parents so we can have a great idea of their temperament. I have met the Present King the great king Obaseki at one of the biannual meetings for first-class Kings.

This wedding when all goes well will be the envy of the other high Kings, I tell you.

I don't blame them, two great kingdoms merging in marriage is a great attainment.

Kabieyesio! ka de kpe Lorio! (may your reign be long ) chief Adejumo bowed to pay obeisance he too came for the emergency meeting called by the king.

Welcome chief Adejumo, please seat down let's wait for the rest to get here.

Otun mo Kio ( I greet you Otun) you are here already?

Yes, I am here, I was on my way when I met the blackguard.
