Chapter 9 - The Queen orientation about the Palace

No one knows the whereabouts of who murdered the man that gave the foul speech for the Queen unless the king. 

Your highness job is done, congratulations guys he said to his guards, "I am the lion of Zomuda, nobody plays with my teeth without being crushed, I am the strongest cobra to exist, you can't escape my venom when you bridge my order" he said as he arrogantly enters his cottage. Lest I forget to tell the maidens to get the Queen ready for breakfast. 

She was already prepared for breakfast before the guard came to inform her, "your majesty the king needs you at the dinner table for breakfast". She was accompanied by two maids to the hall where the long was placed occupied with different sorts of food. 

She was served by one of the maids that accompanied her, "today is the day you will be introduced to every area in this Palace, King Hala said". This table and the chairs were made 20 years ago, the radiating surface was decked with pure gold. 

The queen was astonished, as it was her first time seeing such a table and chair, it was obvious in her eyes that she was new to the furniture, the king smiled at her and said: "eat your meal you have a lot of designs to see". "I don't even know what to eat at this point, even the food served before wasn't my choice again, but I must key to my mother's words, "you must not let the king see you like a hungry dog". Their meal lasted for an hour due to the lengthy conversation they were involved in. 

The queen returned to her room after the meal but she was lonely and she needed to be acquitted to the king, she came out and saw a door, that she hasn't seen before, she walked towards the door and opened it, she found herself outside a beautiful garden, she smiled like a child, the king looked at her and said "I have a local and a timid wife, she is beautiful but local. She walked towards the garden thinking the king wasn't aware of her childish display towards the door and the garden. Is this your first time seeing a beautiful nature like this? 

" Stop fooling around, one of the maids needed to take out of you the foolish mentality she scolded her" this word sounds like thunder in her head because that was the greatest insult she has received. 

Ahead of you is a pool containing some aquatic creatures, there are three pools, let go as you educate your eyes. 

She couldn't hold her fear as she saw a pool accommodating just crocodiles, "I almost collapse seeing the ugly faces of the crock with their teeth arranged in their mouth in a zig-zag manner, don't be afraid, when I was 17 years old, as a golden boy I asked my mother to have me this pool that when I became the king I shall teach my enemy lesson here, oh!!! The Queen exclaimed as she was having a cardiac arrhythmia, teach your people a lesson?

"Calm down, it is only meant to feed my enemy and anybody that jeopardises my decree. He snipped his finger and a maiden brought a cup of water to him, "give it to her to calm her nerves", let go to other pools, the second was holding beautiful fishes, have you seen starfish in your life? Take a look at it, very beautiful right? "Yes my king", the next pool is for catfish here we feed on this pool, so it is always replenished when a fish is removed. 

I will take you to where you alone have seen in this Palace, what is the content in that place, my king? "When we get there you will see by yourself, but that should be the last place you will see okay". The garden ahead of us is entertaining ground for me and my guards, adjacent to it is a love park, 

I can't show you all as you stay, you will know more, it is your home but don't be hyperactive… 

Shall we go to the last spot you wanted to show me? Oh yes....towards us was an ancient door covered with rust and dust, I guess this place must be human abattoir, "this man never has human in his heart any day, I said gently". My king, is there anything in? "hold your horses he replied" at this time she digested her cowardness and activated an Eagle eye. 

Before the door could open she saw phalanges beneath the little opening under the door, but she girded her horses. 

The king opened the door, behold it was a store for dead bodies, "my king these people might have died long ago", yeah not even my late father knew about this place, I and my late mother built it when my father went on expenditure to sign a peace treaty with our neighbouring kingdom. 

It was built when the people of Zomuda wanted to have me remoted and my mother brought this intelligent Idea of building this place to execute anybody to wanted to overthrow my father, you see those skeletons, they are bones of notable chiefs that nobody no their whereabout except you, the day you will let the cat out of the bag you shall miss like this people. 

Her soul left her immediately she heard this, the king never felt anxious to raise alarm about his wife but pitched her in her ankle to bring her to senses. Let's go back to the Palace, you must maintain this skeleton in your cupboard. 

They returned to the Palace, my wife I am the white sheep for you, I shall hold your peace. The king left her and she went into her room sorrowfully, "now my eyes have seen the fate that awaits me, I must maintain proper decorum to prevent my untimely death, the power of a woman is abundant in me, but I must act so smart, just a week I am here, I am receiving threat of death, either he killed me or I kill him". 

Throughout that day she refused to open her door to anyone including the king. 

At midnight she sneaked to one of the maidens "please get me something to eat and drink in my room", not that she was hungry but she needed someone to talk to for the night. 

Your majesty, what should I serve you? Anything good for you is good for me. The maid brought into her room water and some fruits, "here your majesty do enjoy yourself", thank you, where are you going to she asked her" to our room my colleagues are waiting for me, tell them you are spending the night here, Bu…t….b….uh.here is not my room, tell them the queen needs you now!!!!! 

She went with anxiety to inform her colleagues, the queen needs my service in her room. Please, you girls should protect me, "you have us with you, you can go but be careful yes Ma" she replied to their mistress. 

She went and had good company with the queen as they talked almost all night. 

The next morning was a meeting with the king and his king's men.
