Leaving the chamber where I had a discussion with king Agriba. I headed straight for that of Mashellus. Even if your status was higher than that of a lady it is best to knock before entering. 'Knock knock'. "Come in". Her voice replied from the other end of the door. I walked in with my normal elegant way. She got up abruptly and bowed. "Greetings king father". She greeted not expecting my visit. Because she lives with the royal family in the palace she was allowed to call me king father and Elixia queen mother. "What brings you here?"She asked still bowing." Rise".I said and she stood straight."Am I allowed to sit?"I asked."Of course, please do". She answered as she gestured."I know you weren't expecting me, But you should know that my presence here is of importance". I started."Of course king father. That has explained my stunned facial expression. So what brings you here".She asked with a polite smile on her lips.
(MASHELLUS POV)
I overheard king Agememnom's discussion with king Agriba about me. But wasn't able to hear enough as a guard walked me out."Mashellus I can't make decision for you. I just came here to inform you that king Agriba asked for your hand in marriage". I never thought he would inform me rather I thought he would just push me to his conclusion. Cause I'm not of his blood. His respect for my father seems to still be there. I snapped back to the present when I heard his movement. He had already gotten to the door when he paused in his track with his eyes still fixed on the door knob. "Please your marriage will be of great advantage to you and this kingdom".He said then twisted the door knob and walked out.
'I've always dreamt of becoming a queen of a kingdom and now that I have the opportunity I'll seize it. No why don't I tell my mother before I conclude'. I concluded my thoughts. Got up from the sofa and out of my chamber.
(AGEMEMNOM POV)
Walked back to my chamber. My wife still maintained the position she was before I left her. Only that her expression had changed to that of a calm one. 'I'll tell you the good news tomorrow morning'. I thought to myself. Then laid on the bed and slept.
(MASHELLUS POV)
Had searched everywhere for my mother, but it seems I have to continue with my searching."Ah there you are". Her voice signified behind me."How is your day going?"." It's going great" I replied shortly. She knows when something is bothering me I reply curtly."Is there something you will like to tell me?"She asked and I nodded to her confirmation."Okay let's go to my room.
When King Agememnom started to reign he tried convincing my mother to have a room in the palace but my mother refused as she saw it as disrespect to the king and queen,but rather she will have a room in the palace compound. I looked at my mother as excitement beamed in my eyes. Feeling my stare she turned to look at me. I immediately looked away trying to hide my flushed face."Looks like good news today".She said as she grinned.
Finally getting to her room I let out a yawn to show her how boring the journey to her room was and she face palmed. We entered and she gestured me to sit as she sat close to me."So what brings a smile to your face?"She asked opening the atmosphere of conversation."Was there a smile on my face".I asked as I hid my face that flushed yet again."Tell me already". My mother said as she slightly pushed me."Okay. Well while I was heading to my chamber. King Agememnom was having a discussion with king Agriba.
Obviously it was concerning the two kingdoms. So that already bored me out and it made me walk pass their door. Then I suddenly stopped to say something to one of the guards at the door. When I heard my name. I suddenly got interested. Then I snared closer to the side of the door, not wanting them to see me cause the door was opened. Then I heard King Agriba praising me. I got bewildered cause he knew me from nowhere". My mother maintained her polite smile as she listened to me, but i wouldn't push aside the anxiety in her eyes. "He asked for my hand in marriage from King Agememnom". Now excitement brewed in her as she grinned widely. Then she went back to her normal state."So what did King Agememnom say?". "I was politely sent away by one of the guards at the doorpost.
But not too long when I got to my chamber king Agememnom came. He told me about the proposal which got me surprised, but what got me more surprised was that I was told to choose". I said and my head fell as I became thoughtful." Why don't I tell you the reason behind his respect for you"."Your father and king Agememnom's friendship started during the reign of king Anawmim, the father of king Agememnom. Your father's father was of a noble blood which made him one. A time came when King Anawmim summoned all the generals and advisors for a meeting. Your father told his father he wanted to be his escort to the palace". My mother said the last word then a laugh followed as a tear slid down one of her eyes."Mother are you okay?". "Of course my child". She said as she convinced me with a palm of hers on my cheek."I just laughed at your father's confidence. I don't know what made him think he could protect his father at that tender age". "It was a sign of worriorship".
I said and she nodded in agreement."His father couldn't disagree. He sat with his father's coachman and his father could not help but laugh in amusement. Then his father went into the coach"." Grandfather was one of the king adviser, so where did my father get the dream of becoming a worrior from?" I questioned. "From his grandfather. I don't want to digress into that"She said and I nodded in agreement."They got to the palace and he chose to stay at the doorstep where the meeting was held. King Anawmim came when everyone who were expected had arrived. He was stunned to see the little guard at the doorstep, who was dressed in nothing like a guard suit rather he was dressed nobly. He walked up to him and squatted right in front of him". "Greetings, king Anawmim. The boy said and bowed. "Rise". He immediately did that."Of whose noble blood were you formed?". "Of Sun Ni Tama".He answered and bowed slightly."Okay please announce my presence"." His eyes lit up in excitement."Really?"He asked in curiosity to confirm if king Anawmim was talking to him.
King Anawmim looked around as if searching for something."Well I don't see any other guard here. So...". "Of course, I'm going to do that". He opened the door." All rise for his royal majesty. King Anawmim". Everyone turned to look at the person from which the voice spoke but none stood. Not too long King Anawmim walked graciously into the Curis Regis. And everyone rose in astonishment. They wondered why king Anawmim would allow a little boy announce his presence. In their heart their respects for him grew."Just because it was a little boy that announced my presence, you all deafened your ears to his word. Even his father couldn't harken to his word". "Our sincere apologies, sir". Sun Ni Tama said as he bowed with one arm across his chest."Our sincere apologies, your majesty". Others chorused. " I'm not the one to be apologised to, but him you all disrespected him. So apologize to him". King Anawmim said then he pushed Run Ni Tama forward. The boy's expression held the one of fear and astonishment but the men held no grief as they all bowed."Our sincere apologies". Run Ni Tama mouth opened but no word fell out as he was dumbstruck."If you don't accept their apologies they will remain bowing". He heard king Anawmim say close to his ear. And he turned to face the king Anawmim with an expression of 'really'. And king Anawmim nodded to clear his doubt."Ahem. I accept your apologies you may now rise". He said one heartedly but was surprised to see them all smiling at him." Now you take your leave". The king said smiling. And Run Ni Tama made his way to the door, twisted the knob and flounced out as happiness swirled in him. He closed the door and went to his normal position.
Still smiling when a voice interrupted ." May I be told the cause of your smile?". "I'm sorry your majesty but it's personal". He said politely and gave his courtesy and Prince Agememnom gave his also, which got him bewildered. He never thought a royal blood could be this humble. Giving his own courtesy. " Would you like to join me on an adventure?"Prince Agememnom asked shyly."To where my prince?". " Are you really going to join me". Prince Agememnom asked in excitement."Of course my prince". " Oh, keep that title. I'm Agememnom". Prince Agememnom said then he stretched out his hand for an hand shake. " Run Ni Tama". He replied as they shook hands
