Journey To The Unknown

Episode 21

The Prince walked proudly with his guards on
the road of Umuanyanwu. From his steps, one
can depict that he has a destination, his steps
increased in fastness as he walked the more…
Nwamma, on the other hand was waiting by the
bushy part that led to the stream. It was so late
the evening that no one walks the way of the
Stream at that time.. The Prince immediately
arrived at the stream path and met Nwamma
“You kept me waiting. Do you know how long I
have been waiting for you here” Nwamma
complained to Azuka who kissed her as a reply
“I’m sorry” He later said after breaking the kiss and Nwamma smiled touching his cheeks
romantically.

“Leave Us” Azuka ordered the two guards that
followed him and they left immediately waiting
at the other end of the path. Nwamma was
never the ugly type, she was a beautiful figure
with an attractive shape. Fair in complexion
with a fine locally braided hair adorned with
beads which made her look more beautiful..

Azuka looked deep into her eyes and they
kissed romantically again but Nwamma broke
the Kiss

“I thought you came here for business”
Nwamma said and the Prince adjusted his robe

“Oh.. Yes” He said
“So, how did it go?” Azuka asked her
“It is going just as planned, I am trying to make
friends with them and then I will attack”
Nwamma said

“Good, I trust you. Make sure you make no
mistakes” Azuka said

“Of course I won’t” Nwamma bragged
“But…” She changed her mood
“But what?” Azuka asked
“Remember my Price as being the next queen
of this Land and other things you promised”
Nwamma reminded Azuka

“You know I won’t forget that. Who won’t like to have a sweet angel like you as a wife” Azuka asked rhetorically and Nwamma smiled
bringing her head closer and they kissed again.

The Prince tried taking the kiss to the next
level but Nwamma refused

“We can’t do it here” Nwamma said
“But, there is no one here” Azuka insisted
“No.. I disagree, if you need me, It won’t be in
a bush” Nwamma disagreed his statement and
shook away his hands

“Alright” Azuka said still feeling high in sexual
urge

“Better, If you need me, you know where to
call me” Nwamma said

“Now it’s time for business” Nwamma
concluded and left shaking her butt0ckz very
attractively that Azuka kept looking at her…
He later went to meet his guards at the other
side

“Let’s go” He said to them and they left..

“Mama, I am wondering why the Prince hates
me so much, I haven’t done anything to him or
his mother” Anochie said to his mother who sat
besides him on the bench and a lamp in front
of them

“My Son, maybe it was since the day he claimed
you used evil powers to slap him in the bush”
Nworie said

“But, I didn’t do that Nne” Anochie said
“I know my Son. It might also be because of the
incident that happened between you and the
guards the other time they came” Nworie said
again

“That also wasn’t my doing. We all saw it
happen. I don’t know how” Anochie said
“It’s alright my Son” Nworie said
“He may not hate you, maybe it’s just because
of all these things” Nworie said and Anochie
fell on her chest

“It’s alright my Son, I know how you feel”
Nworie said to him and they stood up. Nworie
took up the Lamp and both went inside..

It was dark enough, but the palace of the Igwe
was still a bit interactive as maidens were still
moving about trying to conclude their daily
work. Igwe Ebubedike was still on his throne
and the guards were still up and active..

“How is it going my son” Lolo asked Azuka as
they sat on her bed in her room

“Mum, perfect. I told you she won’t fail” Azuka said

“That’s good” Lolo said in smiles, ” we will take them out one after the other” Lolo said…
Amaka the maid took the Night palm wine to
Igwe Ebubedike and he told her to also give to
Azuka his son. She went to Azuka’s room but
didn’t find him there so she decided to search
for him in his mother’s room as she already
knew he must be there.. On getting to the door
that led to Lolo’s room, she heard words and
murmuring then she slowed down her step
standing beside the door..

“Anochie! Anochie you will smell the wrath of
royalty” Lolo said in anger

“I will make sure you suffer” Lolo added and
Amaka was shocked

“Mom, let’s just wait till the day he will be
called up for his judgement” Azuka said and
they laughed. Then Amaka swallowed her fears
and Fright and knocked on the door

“Yes, come in” Lolo said adjusting their sitting
posture and Amaka came in

“Greetings Lolo.. Greetings my Prince” She
greeted

“What is it?” Lolo asked not even reciprocating
her greeting

“I want to give my Prince his wine” Amaka said a bit shaking and handed the wine to Azuka who collected it

“Why are you shaking?” Lolo asked noticing her shaky body

“Nothing my Lady” Amaka said
“Are you alright” Lolo asked further
“Yes My Lady” Amaka said and went out
“Are you sure she didn’t hear our
conversation?” Azuka asked

“Even if she did, what can she do about it?” Lolo replied with a question and Azuka drank his
wine..

“What an evil Plan they have for a poor boy.. I
can’t tell Anochie this. If they find out, they will
kill me” Amaka thought in her mind as her
conscience bites her to tell Anochie but she
