MEETING AT HAND WITH THE DEVIL _
Years Later.....
" Hey... Ivory take it easy...a queen is not supposed to be too rash you know..." I teased her continuously... it's being years..my little sister isn't so little anymore.. but she grew up to something I didn't expect..a wild rash girl
"Sister.. let's ride more faster..." She has such an innocent smile on her face. We approach the main city and she slowed down....
" Rash.. brat!" I teased again and she pouted like a baby...
" Am not rash... I just want to have fun..." She yelled angrily.. what a joke this girl can be sometimes
"Greetings princesses..." The citizen bowed sightly and it was then the silly girl put her emotions in place. Over these few years I had taught her to never let the citizen know how rash she is or it won't be good news
"Sister.. let's buy something for father...!" Ivory is still so naive and clueless.. though Zuma never meddle with her life his sudden silence made me wonder what he is up to.
" He won't accept it.. neither will he complement it!" I had to let her see through the fact that we are not really loved by our parents in anyway...
" The last gift wasn't expensive enough..." Rash spending is one of my sister's hobbies.. I nod my head in disapproval
" Even if...he won't like it."
" Alright..then....! What about mother..?" She asked again...these two people are really selfish.. mother didn't bother anymore after Ivory grew a bit she was just trying to get favor from Zuma all year long
" Anything you want...!" I finally gave her a little hope.. I don't want to make her feel bad so early about her parents
She stormed the jewelry shop and spotted a beautiful hair pin
" Mother would love it so much... " She beamed with smile
" Are you sure...?" Flashy things aren't something my mother would appreciate except if she wants to pretend to like it...
" Yes... I saw a stack of beautiful jewelry in her box. It looks old but is amazing,a prefect craft" she winked at me..well anything she wants I'll go along with it.
*********
Zuma has been so busy with work and he rarely comes home at night...either he is out drinking or doing something I don't know off.
I believe I'll get him back and I'll do everything and speaking of everything I'll get pregnant again and this time I'll have a male child and he would love me more.
Ivory rushed in my room looking like a female warrior.. I guessed Violet dressed her up.. My two clueless daughter doesn't know that no matter how much they try to win Zuma's heart over he'll won't budge...
"Look what I got you mother... isn't it beautiful?" She smiled so innocently at me
Something so flashy... I don't really like it but my daughter got it for me so I must like it then put it away later
" It's lovely... I love it..."
" You see....! Violet says you won't like it...!" I squint my eyes to violet's stand..she does know me well...but if I say I don't like it Ivory will feel bad
" Don't listen to her alright. Your uncle sent some gifts for both of you. I had sent the maids to drop it over..." Ivory is a big fan of my brother with his wealthy and caring gifts...
"Can't wait to open it...." She danced in excitement
" I'll write my thanks to uncle..." That's the only word I heard from Violet from a long time. It's like strangers in a house. She doesn't like talking to me about anything and she keeps her distance away from me. If not serious insistence..she might never let me hold ivory when she was a child...
"Violet... let's talk..." Mother and daughter time is important and it has been long since we had one
" I work to do..." She said sharply... seriously and intentionally refusing me
" What work...?" Ivory broke up
" I have something to do and doesn't concern any of you. Don't be late tomorrow or els I'll punish you..." She faced ivory but I know she's telling me to shut up
"Okay..no punishment.. I won't be late..." Violet is really being so supportive..if ivory was a boy would she support him like this...?
Ivory and I chatted all day long.. though there are somethings she doesn't tell me
" I'll tell Violet.. she'll know what to do..." She used to say everytime I asked her if there's is something wrong... it's like Violet was her mother...it was her who breast feed her but Violet was there to nuture her while she was after Zuma...
*********
"Princess...!"
" How is your family...?"
" They are all fine and they send their regards to you..."
" Have you found any clue...?"
" It's really difficult knowing who your father is...the queen didn't have any common man and all information regarding how it all came about as being sealed...no one wants to speak up..."
" Is that so...? Well let's do some little persuasion..."
" Maybe you should ask the queen...?"
" I don't want her to have an idea on what am up to...she is love drunk and any slight open she'll tell that husband of hers..."
" I'll continue to find out!"
**********
"My lord...what do you want to do now...?"
" How is the little guy doing...?"
" He is doing pretty well.. with two amazing daughter.. princess Violet is the best of them all... It's a shame we have to take her..."
" Take both of them and stop anyone who might stand in our way..."
" I hope you don't have headache my lord...?"
" Do remind me of whatever I do here because I might forget..you understand?"
" Yes my lord..!"
" Gather the men... we'll set off soon to pay our little friend a visit. It has been years hasn't it?"
"Sire ...!!"
" Spill....!"
" The route to the hidden tunnel is really difficult to find. All the builders of the tunnel were all killed,...."
"Such useless information.... Kill him!!"
" My lord... only princess Violet of anthill knows about it. She is very knowledgeable and skilled...she has what we need!"
" Thanks... you go and join our ancestors first..tell them that blood will flow soon to serve them breakfast "
The guard was instantly behead...
" Feed him to Draco...he is a bit hungry..."
" Yes.....!"
"I can't wait to see you beastly face after a long time... I have finally attain the position am destined for...now am coming for you Zuma!!!!
It won't be long that we'll meet face to face "
