After the reconciliation of the royal family, the feast went on. They ate and enjoyed themselves up to dusk when everyone left to their respective homes.
Now is another day, Prince Gabriel is embarking on the journey of correcting his mistakes and restoring back the trust and reputation of his father to his subject.
The king and queen blessed him as he leave to mulobezi town, from where he destroyed alot of things for them. With him are the five elders of the royal council, his elder brother, prince Lawrence and other royal Representatives, accompand him.
Five of expensive convoys enters Mulobezi town in a line, heading to the market. The locals who saw them first, runs to spread rumours about them.
"Attention please....!!!! People of mulobezi, the destroyers have invaded our town! They are coming for your businesses, get out of the market! Close your shops, everyone, they are coming!!!!!!" Esau a vendor in his 20s.
Another one came running with the same news of strange cars. Now the people are angry, they don't intend to run this time around, but to fight them with the last drop of their blood. They gather in groups with all sorts of weapons to fight the prince, now that he's back.
Protesting begin as they await for them at the market square. They saw the cars coming from a distance and they begin throwing stones at them. The drivers begin to make a turn to go back when prince Gabriel ordered them to continue going forward.
"But it's not safe, bro. Look, the people are angry, we need to go back, it's not safe." Lawrence said and everyone agree with him.
Even so, Gabriel insisted they continue.
The Commander of the palace request to go back, but still he refused. He had to drop out of the car without being afraid of the angry Moab.
Brianna and Michie, just came to the market and found this commotion, she asked, "What's going on? What is this noise all about?"
Before they could answer her, one man throw a stone that hit prince Gabriel on the forehead that he bleedsand that's when Brianna saw why there was commotion.
Another stone was thrown, which hit him on his chest and another that hit the front mirror of the car that break in Crystal. The guards now hurried out to protect the prince. Brianna run to the prince after seeing him bleeding.
'Oh no, my prince, are you alright?" Cover his bleeding cut with her palm, panting so hard.
The people continued attacking them. A report already reach the palace who sent the soldiers to rescue them princes .In no less than an hour, the soldiers where in Mulobezi with their defence weapons. Now it was more of confusion, the people of the community won't let them go free.
Prince Gabriel is taken back in a car to be treated by the first aiders. On the other hand, Brianna stood in the middle and yelled, "Stop it, all of you!!!!!"
her voice echoed a long way that called everyone to shift their attention towards her.
She stood in the middle like a heroin, panting. "Why are we fighting when we all one family?" She look around everyone, in emphasis. "People of Mulobezi! please, do not disappoint me," fold her hands together, pleading with them, "You are not violent people, so why now?"
"These people are not fair, Brianna! This man has ruined alot of our businesses!" Mr Mahesh, the market counselor spoke and everyone agreed with him.
"Have you given him a chance to say why he is here, before you attacked him?" She asked and everyone kept quiet. "You see? I thought you were wise, but today I am turned down. How do you attack without evidence of their wrongs?"
The people are now touched by her words, they lowered down their weapons In emotion.
She continues, "please, let us give them a chance, to hear what they has to say. Can you do that?" She asked and everyone agreed.
A toyota was parked afar, with two men inside it, taking a video of what was happening. They enjoyed the show when the people attacked those from the royal household, but it ended in disappointment for them when Brianna had managed to reason with the mob who gave in, to listen to what the prince had to say. Manoah had sent these men to keep monitoring the situation.
These men are not the only spy at this place, also princess Helena had assigned one of the guards to take pictures of any suspected,
of the ordinary.
So, Brianna apologize to the entire crew from the palace, on behalf of the people and invite them to the market square to state why they came. A plaster was put on Gabriel's small cut and he's now back to normal and ready to address the people. From there he climb the stage and so did his brother, cousin and other royal escorts.
They waited with long face as he put himself together. "Good morning to you all," few responded, "My Reason of coming here is to apologise for my mistakes."
They all murmured before he could even go ahead, some even attack him with questions. "You apologise, will it repair everything we lost, huh, prince?" One man asked and the rest supported.
"Order, please. He's still on the floor." The chairman spoke.
He continued, "I know it's not easy to believe how sorry I am for my actions, but I understand, you have every rights to be angry with me. If I where in your shoes, I would do the same, but believe me, I regret everything." He paused and then continue, " I have learnt from a good teacher that every human being is equal in the sight of God." He spoke these words with eyes fixed on Brianna who was standing among the crowd. Everyone noticed that look and learnt that he was talking about Brianna, when he said, "good teacher."
"Today, I am standing before you as a revived person all because God helped me through this pretty and hones person. I want to assure you all that I am ready and very willing to pay for every damage. I will compensate you all for your lose in 3 days time.
"How true is that?"
"I want you all to register with him, Mr Luchembe, by tomorrow, I will start bringing funds."
Now everyone is celebrating. In a queue, the people have already started registering with the man he instructed them to.
Mrs Kumwenda came from the house and find the mob at the market square, some where even standing at her restaurant door. It was opened, but no one was inside, she looked around and saw Brianna with prince Gabriel, who held her hands, thanking her for everything. Without wasting time, Grace approached them in furious, grabbed her daughter's hand, pushed her aback and stand before the prince with unfriendly stare.
"Keep away from my daughter, you demon."
"Madam, watch your tongue, you are talking about the prince." The chief minister stand up for the prince., but he stopped him and politely ask him to step aside for a moment.
The then fold his hands together in humility, "You have every right to hate me, madam. Please forgive me taking your daughter against your will...
"And that's why I will ever like. Keep a distance from my daughter, I will not warn you again." She drag her away leaving the prince standing idle.
She push her roughly inside the restaurant, "how dare you leave the shop alone. What was so special there, huh?" Yelled. "Let me see you with him again. Leave my shop, go!"
The way she chased Brianna, really hate Daniel."Mum, that is so rude."
"Shut up! Go with her if you like, I don't care!" Yell in frustration.
Her anger shocked Daniel. He has never seen her this angry before. He didn't want to go on arguing with his mother, so he kept quiet.
When the convoys where driving back to the castle, they took a route that passes compound. Before making a turn, Gabriel spots Brianna entering her compound, he immediately request for the driver to stop the car which he did as soon as possible. In no time, the prince was out from the car, hurrying after Brianna, "Brianna, hold on."
She looked back, only to see Gabriel. "Gabby?" called. "What are you doing here?" Surprisingly asked.
He responded to her question with a hug . On the other hand, the man Helena hired took a capture of them, in a hug and send it to her. Now she had evidence to send to Shelly who will use it to destroy Brianna.
After a while they pulled out, "I'm really sorry for my mother's mean action, towards you."
"He run his fingers over her cheeks, lovingly and said, "I miss you."
She blink at him lovingly, Suddenly, she fell on his arm and wrap round her hands in his waist, so tight. Lawrence smiled as he watched through the car window. The spy again capture and send.
"I will not give up on you."Staring in her eyes. "I will continue trying to reason with your mother. All I want is your support, please don't give up on me." Pull him in his arms again.
Lawrence ordered the driver to hit the hooter and he did as told. Gabriel turned his face towards the sound, Pumulo shout over in tease, "Let's get going, damn it!" With a Smiling face he said these "Do you want to swallow her?"
Brianna was embarrassed, she turned her face down in shame, yet with a smiling face.
"I will come tomorrow. Take care of yourself for me." perk on her forehead and left.
**********
Shelly received the pictures, she is furious, very furious. One thing she hates the most is a woman who plays with her man. She is so dangerous in this area to the extent of shedding blood. Two ladies she had killed in America, who gave cheated her with, who is Brianna to her, a nobody, that's according to her.
She gave up her duty as a crown princess, representing her kingdom at royal conference In Shalulamba kingdom. Within that night, she travel to Yashilan kingdom and spent the night in a hotel, where she proceeded to Brianna's place, early morning, with the direction given.
When she reached the place with two of her maidens and guards, Mrs Kumwenda had just come out from the house with the box of fruits on her head. She only took two steps when an expensive car enters her compound and a young, beautiful, good looking young lady of about her daughter's age met, came out from the car.
She put down the box, wondering who she was. she kept staring as she approached until she stopped two steps away.
"Who are you, and what do you want in my compound?"
In response to her question, she looked at the woman from the toes to the hair in her head, disgustingly. "I believe you are the mother to a shameless girl, called Brianna."
"How dare you step into my compound with such insults for my daughter.
Instead, Shelly smile as she stare around the compound with such disgusting. "Is this a compound for people, or animals?"
Mrs Kumwenda could not hold back anymore when she raise a hand against her. Before it reached her, Brianna came out from the house with a shout."Mum, stop!" She grip hold of her hand.
"Who are you, miss, and what do you want here?
Shelly's blood pressure rise up the moment she set her eyes on her. "You good for nothing, woman!" She lost control of her self and almost hit on Brianna, Luckily, Mrs Kumwenda block her way. "Get off her.l!" Push her back.
The bodyguards got hold of her before she reached the ground.
"Who do you think you are, that you can just come into my compound to cause commotion?"
She gather her courage and stood firmly, "Now I see that she got all the nonsense from you, taking other people's men for her personal selfishness!"
Mrs Kumwenda is now more angry, she has just gotten into her nerves by saying that. it took her back to a time she was fighting with princess Lukundo, over Edmond. Now she was flaming in anger, "How dare you bringing up such allegations, against my daughter....…
"It's not an allegation, but it's the truth! Your dear daughter is not as innocent as you may think, she is a cheat! Or do you want proof?"
"Show it to me, before I kick you out of this compound in shame!"
Without wasting a second, Shelly stretch a hand to one of the maiden who pass a phone to her. She unlock it, flip through the gallery and stopped on photos the man took on Brianna and the prince hugging, also the one he gave her a forehead kiss, then she handed it over to her.
Mrs Kumwenda stood freeze with a phone in her hand. Shelly had to grab the phone out from her. "Do you believe me now, that this stupid girl is a gold digger?" She yelled.
Mrs Kumwenda turned a disappointed eye at her.
"I will not come back here to warn her again. The next time you will see me in your filthy compound is to kill your entire household. Do not dare me, you don't know who I am, and what I'm capable of." She walked away feeling relief. The guard open the door for her and they drove away.
