Zuma POV
Tarius's visit wasn't a small matter, even though he had regarded me as king and as his brother-in-law and always speak respectfully to me,this time it's different.
I watched him sit in all glory.. what a show off, trying to act all powerful just because of his wealth, making him a court official was a bad idea!
"Your highness,loyal members of the court, I apologize for my subsequent absence in court. I plead for your forgiveness!" Tarius eloquency is not questionable at all,it seems their roots really took words serious!
"Following the suffering and subsequent death of our princess in the cause of the war, I plead for justice to be attained for the princesses,a fight back!" I can't believe he is still serious on getting justice or let's say revenge for Ivory and Violet. The whole court begin to murmur and they begin to give their support. Am not willing to go to war for witless females
"Order in court!!!!!" Gathering their attention wasn't easy at all they came forth and agreed with the motion
" You're right.. but Anthill isn't ready for war right now! We suffered in the recent war and lack war materials "
" I,Tarius will provide five thousand war materials and battles racks for this mission and more financial aid. As for the men we've lost, according to the record we only lost fifty men which we can cover up if we recuit more men your highness" that bastard didn't let me finish, everyone seem to agree with him and this is real trouble...if I don't agree it will give out a wrong notion of me not caring about the girls
" Then,the court appreciates your support Tarius. We'll device a plan and investigate our enemy to get their location and weakness. With the right strategy, we'll definitely win!" Assurance and motivation is one thing to seal the court's lips and I've got a lot of it!!.
**********
I was happy that Zuma finally agreed to avenge the girls,when my spices get back I'll have all the information I need to destroy those who made my babies what they are now!!
I rushed ti Vera to te her the news but she didn't look convinced at all " Trust me Vera!"
" I trust you... it Zuma that am weary of . No matter the promise he made to the court on this matter... it's all just words and nothing more. He is a coward who hides from war not just to live to fight another war but to watch others die!" It now clear that I underestimated Zuma's callousness
"The only person that can avenge Violet is Cedric!" She looks so pitiful but am here looking confused...what has this issue go to do with Cedric?
"What does Cedric got to do with this...? He's just a witless kid! Zuma is Violet father!" She shakes her head negatively and then it start to hit me all at once " No... Cedric is a king! A king of sky high and he is Violet father!"
It's too much to take.. how can that boy be a kid,he was just so lowly, nothing like a king!
" After father's death... everything was messed up! I was to marry Zuma but war clashed suddenly between sky high and Anthill. I was a hostage captured by Cedric,he raped me. Zuma found out and refuse to acknowledge Violet... that's why he cheated!" A chocking revelation and I can't swallow it all up... I was in the dark for so long!
" How can you hide all these from me? I heard nothing Zuma fighting Cedric at all. I was told it's a misunderstanding! You suffered form this delusional creature you call husband and you didn't tell me?!!!" I felt like killing Zuma...anger rushed through me so badly that I hit the wall
"What do you want to do?" Vera is a scheming and venomous woman... father was right about this " I want to see Cedric and tell him of his child. Make him take responsibility and protect violet!" I can't help but sence the loopholes in this plan...
"Does Violet knows about this?!" I feel so sorry for my dear niece...so innocent and selfless
" Yes..she figured it out a long time. That's why she's a bit cold towards me!" I was beyond suprised... that beautiful girl has handle so much without breaking down..
" She does take after you in keeping secrets!" This plan has to work... I'll get both of them out and fight against Zuma if possible!
