Three ululations thundered in the sky ... Ariiiriii! Aririiii... Women sang while men raised their spears high up.
Trees were swaying calmly and the soil smelled of rain.
Oh yes it had rained the previous night and the rain had stopped early in the morning. The birds were chirping their melodious tunes and the horizon was painted orange
A princess has be born on this fateful day.
Nobody will refer to the queen as a baren woman from today onwards for she has blessed us with a beauty baby girl.
The obstetrician announced. The elders cheered with dances while the women lead with songs.
My queen you must be tired, have some soup, beth was standing near the bed which the queen laid, please let the baby be cleaned first so as you can rest too. You need to rejuvenate . The queen held her baby on her embrace. It seemed as if she was on her own world, beth nagging brought her back .. I am not tired beth, i am not sleeping untill the king comes, i want him to look after my baby..nobody else is allowed to enter here, she said..
Outside the elder who had come to witness the heir being born sat in groups. They were all men above sixty years. The discussion was heated on each group, but one thing was common... They were dissatisfied with the heir. We can not allow a woman to lead us. No woman should sit on the throne....
The king is growing old and sonce the queen can't give him a prince, he should dovorce him. They were discussing with no care ,
It was not hidden that the kings brother, Titus had his eyes on the throne.
Titus had two sons who served in the army. He seemed all loving towards his brother, but those near him knew that he has built a strong resistance team.
The team was to oppose the king, while titus stayed near the king, like a dutiful brother gathering information and delivering it to the
Opposition team. The queen has been walking on eggshells, everywhere were whispers of how, she had failed as a woman to fulfill the obligated rule of married women, especially as a queen to provide an offspring.
She was over the moon when she had learnt of her pregnancy and they had announced to the whole kingdom. The kingdom of Atlantia. It was one joyful day filled with celebrations and today, the people outside and inside the palace were celebrating.
Beth was the queen's personal assistant.
Like a shadow she was with the queen during the day and during the night the queen would take over. She didnt want to leave the queen alone since she was aware that the people were waiting for a son.
She eyed the little buddle that was on the queens hand, she baby was beautiful with brown eyes , she was peacefully sleeping but the queen couldn't close her eyes,...
