Few minutes before I came.
"Faith why are you not coming. you will put me in trouble," Amarachi panicking to herself
" Oh, Amarachi you are here, where is the princess, the King is asking for her presence," Favour said
" no way," her heart jumped
Amarachi dragged Favour with her
" What is it, where is the princess?"
Amarachi took a deep breath
" the princess went out,"
" WHAT" she was so shocked
" hold on, who let her go outside, did she sneak out by herself,"
" no, she didn't sneak out by herself I helped her,"
" Amarachi why, why would a thing like that. What you just did right now could cause you, your life. Nobody would care about you, even the princess herself. She would let you take the blame"
" So, what should I do?" Amarachi shaking with fear
" I don't know" Favour shook her head
" Where is the princess, the King is waiting for her," one of the guards said
" the guard is here" Amarachi leg was shaking
" Ok, we are coming. Amarachi, we can't keep the King waiting, I have to tell him the truth,"
" Ok, don't worry go and tell him whatever comes my way I will accept him,"
" Amarachi" Favour and Amarachi hug each other. They both cried
Favour leave. Favour go and meet the King
" where is the princess, why am I not seeing her,"
" My king....." Favour is muttering
" what is it, speak up right now," Queen said angrily
" She went out,"
" what who let her out," The King said angrily
" It is Amarachi,"
"what my King, you see this dirty thing, they let Faith leave, could you imagine that"
" call Amarachi right now,"
They called Amarachi and Amarachi came. They all went outside
" I am sorry, I don't know what to say"
" guard hit her 30 strokes of the cane,"
Amarachi was so surprised.
" Please, my queen,"
The guard straightens her body out and starts flogging in and then I came.
I was so surprised.
" wow, look who we have here, her personality hasn't changed a little bit. I pity this poor maid who has to suffer," Johnny said
" Mom, Amarachi?"
I look at Amarachi face, it was because of me that is why she is here right now.
They start beating her
" Mom, it was my fault, not hers, I tricked her"
" Faith, no need to beg because it is her job to look after you,"
" Fine, if you are not going to stop it, I will stop it myself,"
I went to where the guard that is hitting her, the cane hit me. Though it pained me, that pained is way smaller than the pained she must be going true
" Faith, My princess" The king, queen, and guard shouted
Everybody was so surprised
" Mom, please can you stop it" I begged
" Fine," the queen left
I went to help her up
" Are you alright,"
" yes"
I, Favour and Lauryn all helped her up and carried her to my chamber
