The queen had been restored into her rightful position again. While Sophia was still battling with litigation issue for her crime and vices against the king and his queen.
Her case has been taken to the city magistrate court. She has appeared once in the court for prosecution but the case was adjourned for a later date for judgment.
King and queen just returned from their weekend luxury cruise ship tour. Prince Richmond had protected the marriage of her mother and king by his wise moves of informing the priest of Sophia evil activities.
The king and queen were in the sitting room chatting about their weekend tour and other matters when Prince, Linda and three of their siblings called on them. Richmond, Princess Linda, Philip, Rebecca and Paul, how are you? We just arrived from our tour.
We are fine. They responded. You are welcome back to the palace. We are happy to see you two together in a lovely mood again, Prince stated. Yes, we are happy that the evil plans of Sophia was terminated, Linda interjected.
I had wanted all of us to go on the tour, but since queen had wanted her privacy with me alone to catch up on our love that Sophia nearly tore apart. We all would have celebrated our victory together on the cruise ship for at least two days.
However, it is not late to do so. Mia, please come over, king called on his cook assistant. Please, go and prepare delicious meals and drinks for us. Yes, your highness, Mia answered and proceed to the kitchen.
Hope you are following up on Sophia case with the Police force, king asked from the Prince. Yes, your highness. She is presently facing music at the magistrate court. Hopefully in two to three weeks her case should be done with.
About forty five minutes later, Mia had finished in the kitchen and had set the dinning table for king, queen and his guests. The short family reunion and refreshment lasted till late in the night.
Prince, Linda and other three siblings returned to their apartments about 10pm in the night.
Meanwhile, Sophia's mother, Morgana Herdal had been tipped of the latest happening to her daughter. She's however bent on revenging.
She had wanted her daughter to become the queen so that she could then execute her vices through her daughter. But her plan of ruling the city through her daughter was however terminated by another mightier power.
She's galvanizing her actions towards other means to achieve her initial purpose. She has decided to use her diabolic powers against Prince Richmond and King Richard.
She has been informed by her source that Prince Richmond was behind her daughter's doom in the palace. She has resolved into matching such disruption of her plans with her full wrath.
Prince and Linda were fast asleep in their bed room. Prince Richmond was awaken by a nightmare. He sat by the edge of the bed pondering over the dream. Linda was still deeply asleep.
All of a sudden, Prince sighted a tiger standing behind the door of their vast bed room. He was seriously scared at the sight of the beast. But later summoned courage to walk towards the beast in a bid to frighten it, which disappeared immediately.
The tiger was standing behind the close door before it vanished. So, he quickly opened the door to check if it is still in the sitting room but he couldn't find it there.
He checked other rooms and the kitchen but he couldn't find the beast again. So, he returned to the bed room to wake Linda from sleep. He then told her his latest findings.
Can you believe I saw a tiger in this room? I was actually pondering over a nightmare I had so I sat at the edge of the bed. But when I raised my head up, what I saw scared me.
I saw a tiger staring at me in our room. But I later gathered strength to stand up to confront the beast, then it just vanished from my sight.
That can't be true, Linda retorted. Did it open the door itself, Linda asked. The door was locked but the beast was standing behind the door right in our room, Prince responded. I had even gone to check other rooms to see that it was not hiding in one of the rooms.
Thank God you are awake when he showed up in our room, Linda said. I was actually dreaming and I saw Sophia beating me. I was running away from her in my dream.
It was this dream I was actually thinking about before I saw tiger staring at me in our bedroom, Prince recounted. Then, that's a sign that Sophia hasn't stop her evil acts.
She's probably planning another evil in her incarceration. We need to be ready to prevent her evil acts, Linda advised. I think you are very correct, Prince concurred.
Early in the morning, Prince and Linda were walking to their office in the palace when they sighted the tiger advancing towards their direction. They were both scared, at the sight of the beast that suddenly appeared on their route.
They quickly called on the guards around who came to their rescued. The guards shot severally at the beast which disappeared immediately. The guards were put on alert that there is a tiger trailing the Prince and Pricess.
Some hours later, the Prince walked into his father's office to intimate him of his dream and the beast that had appeared twice to scare him and wife.
We need to stop whatsoever the beast is up to, king emphasized. Get the guards aware of the latest development. And we need to know who exactly is behind this, king stated.
I'm sure, it's Sophia, Prince re-affirmed. She is incarcerated. Get the warder to put cameras in her room to know for sure she is responsible, king advised. I will get the police to do that.
When the Prince left, king thought of handling over the silver coloured knife to him for self defense since it is obvious the beast is after him. He concluded that should be done immediately.
Meanwhile, Prince had contacted the police unit in charge of Sophia case. He had intimated them of the need to install cameras in her prison room.
Later in the evening, king called the Prince to his residence to hand over the silver coloured knife to him. On his arrival at his father's residence, in the presence of the queen, king handed over the silver coloured knife to him for self defense.
He collected it and thank his parents for their assistant.
Sophia prison room is currently being monitored to find out if she is the perpetrator of current evil act in the palace. She has been monitored for a week and nothing incriminating was discovered from her and in her room.
So, it was obvious the tiger appearing to the Prince Richmond is not from her. King Richard and Prince Richmond had believed the evil beast has been destroyed because it has not appeared to the Prince nor in the palace in about a week.
They thought the last time the tiger was shot at by the guards in the palace, it was destroyed. But to the king surprise, the tiger appeared in the king's room to steal the silver coloured knife.
The king and queen had been relaxing in the sitting room for a while after returning from Monday cabinet meeting. They had eaten the dinner and were resting for a while in the sitting room.
The king was returning to the room and was expecting the queen to follow suit. As he opened the door to the room, he saw the beast ransacking the wardrobe where the silver coloured knife was kept.
The king could not believe his eye. A tiger ransacking the room looking for silver coloured knife. Unfortunately for the beast, the knife had been given to the Prince. So, it couldn't find the knife.
The beast vanished at the sight of the king. He was astonished at the sight of what he saw and the way their room was scattered. The queen joined him few minutes later to find the scattered room.
What happen here my highness? She asked as she walked into the room. It was the tiger, that had also paid us a visit. I opened the door to find the beast ransacking the room.
Probably, it was searching for the knife to steal it, king stated. Oh! Thank God. We have given it to the Prince. We need to get the Prince and the rest of the guards aware of the beast intentions right away, queen suggested.
You are very correct. Let me call Richmond to intimate him right away. You never know the beast could target Prince residence too, queen added.
King dialled the Prince phone number. Hello Richmond! How are you? Good evening my king. I'm fine, Prince responded at the other end.
Your unwanted guest, the tiger, visited our room just so few minutes ago. I guessed it was after the silver coloured knife. If you see the way it tore the room apart in a bid to locate the knife.
Our room is presently in disarray, courtesy of this unwanted visitor. Just to let you know, and that you should keep the knife close. Don't loose sight of the knife.
I believe whoever is sending the beast know about the powers of the knife and wanted to steal it. I'm sure such person knows the knife could defect him or her, king stated.
I will keep the knife close always. In short, let me quickly get it from where I kept it, Prince stated as he proceeds to get the knife.
One more thing son, get the guards aware of the present situation. They need to double their effort in ensuring the beast his destroy if it show up again in the palace premises.
I will pass the message across to them, he replied. He picked up the knife from the small wardrobe beside his bed in his bedroom and walked back to the sitting room.
Linda and Prince were watching movies in the sitting room when the king's call came in. Can you imagine what is happening? Prince asked. What's going on darling? Linda requested. The same beast had visited the king:s room. It probably wanted to steal the silver coloured knife.
According to king, the beast turn upside down the room in search of the knife. Thank God, the king had given it to me for self defence from the same beast. The beast would have just stolen the knife assuming it is still in king's custody, Linda stated.
And it would have been an awkward task to recover the knife back as we are yet to know who actually is sending the tiger, Prince concluded. Getting the sender should be the priority now, Linda retorted.
I think you are right Linda. I need to think out a way to do that, Prince concluded. As Prince and Linda were relaxing on the bed in their bed room, he thought that if the sender of the beast could detect exactly the location of the knife after it was removed from the palace museum. Then he can use that to trap the tiger.
He was excited with his new plan. He then held Linda her love in an affectionate manner. They both held each other and continue in their romantic mood as they laid on the bed.
In the office the next day, Prince Richmond called one of his staff, Kevin Dalon, to get him a black smith that can make a similar knife like silver coloured knife for him. Kevin craved the Prince's indulgence to find the craftsman in two to three days.
He did not know any nearby but hope to find him one pretty soon. Prince Richmond called Captain Coleman, head of Police force team in charge of Sophia case to help him find out from Sophia details of her parents and relations location.
Her prison room has been under surveillance for the past two weeks. Nothing incriminating to link her to the tiger appearance was found yet. He needed to extend his search to Sophia relatives if probably they have hand in Sophia vices.
Captain Coleman assigned two officers from Police intelligence unit, Sergeant Jay Samson and Sergeant James Danton to carry out the investigation immediately.
They started there investigation of Sophia Herdal by checking data base of the City Identification Management System where all citizens of Ralite city data were captured. From their research they discovered her dad is late but her mother currently lives in a neighbouring village some distance from Ralite city.
She raised Sophia as a single mother in Ralite city before returning to Modore village after her retirement. Her present address in the village was not stated on all her record. Other relatives of Sophia Herdal also stays in Ralite city. Two of her uncles Mr. Ray Herdal and Mr. Sam Herdal lives in Ralite city.
The two officers decided to visit Sophia in prison custody for questioning about her relations. The meeting in the prison waiting room revealed that Sophia Herdal was lying, when she was questioned about her parents.
She claimed her parents her late but confirmed she has two uncles living in Ralite city. She also gave their addresses. She did not disclose her mother's address in Modore village.
Captain Coleman reported the findings of his team investigations back to the Prince after five days. From this report, it was obvious to the Prince that Sophia definitely have some hidden agenda for given a false information about her mother.
