Chapter Seven
As expected,Oba allowed Christoph to go to school, the same school in which Chris was supposed to go"Institution of learning, Oyo". It was actually a boarding school that taught children martial arts and the use of swords. Christoph had always wanted to be a knight but when told by the old man (Particular) that he was the Confessor, his dream was dashed on the stone. He had met the old man when he was three (3) years old. He mistakenly wandered into the forest and the old man came to his rescue. Particular had introduced himself to him and they became friends.

(IOFO) Institution of learning, Oyo
Chris came down from his carriage and in a moment Mr Bright also came down.
"As you have come to this school, you must tell no one you are from Dahomey. If you asked who your father is, tell them that I am your father. Lastly, this is a school of martial arts, where you will be taught a lot of things especially martial arts and sword fighting. Good luck and do well,"Mr Bright advised.
"Yes uncle,"Chris answered innocently.
"That's your number one mistake. Do not call me uncle,call me dad,"Mr Bright corrected.
"Sorry Dad,"Chris apologized
"It's nothing. Now let's go in,"Mr Bright says and holds his hand leading him inside the school
Much later, Prince Christoph or let me say simply say Christoph enters the school environment with five beautifully decorated carriages with a number of guards around him. People who were around him were all bowing down and greeting him. He got to the head of the school's office. He was registered into the school and his luggages were taken to his room. As expected, his room was decorated and very beautiful.
"Excuse me let me go and use the restroom,"Christoph said after he came into the room.
"My prince, there is a restroom in the room,"his personal guard recommended.
"I will us the one the school provided,"Christoph said.
"Okay my prince,I will escort you there,"the personal guard says.
When Christoph got to the restroom, he completed his assignments quickly and moved to wash his hands. He tried opening the tap but he could not. He kept on trying for about (6)six minutes when someone said something,
"That's not how to use it,"Chris said as he was standing at the back of Christoph.
He had come to also use the restroom and had found Christoph trying endlessly to open the tap.
"Then how will I open it?,"Christoph asked being tired.
"I will show you how,"Chris says and opens the tap.
After both of them had washed their hands,they smiled at each other.
"Let me introduce. I'm Chris,"Chris said bringing his hand for a handshake.
