Side story 3: How did Suzie's mother pass away? (Read part 1)
Suzie P.O.V
My name is Suzie. I'm an eighteen-year-old black maiden from the Batang empire in Africa.
I live with my grandmother - big Momma - like I affectionately call her in a chalet in the east of the imperial city, Ekule.
The particularity about our house is that it has its double opposite the street. A twin chalet where uncle Bibi, my late mom's elder brother lives alone.
Talking about my mother always makes me emotional because I lost her at a very young age. Anne was her name.
I have a few souvenirs of her from when we strolled through Ekule's forest and had fun picking mushrooms. I was maybe five years old at the time. It's really difficult to tell my exact age so little I was.
I remember when we wandered in the center of the village and walked past the statue of the late Emperor His Majesty Batang IV, the father of the reigning Emperor His Majesty Batang V, my mom always waved at the monument.
