“The princess is back” Eze announced to his kinsmen.
“What?” They all exclaimed.
“How come?” Alfred the second son said.
“Yes come” Eze replied “she didn’t die along with her parents in the accident remember?”.
“Yes it true” Oluchi the first daughter said.
“Now there is no way for me to get to the throne” Eze laments.
“What?” They all chorus.
“Eze you are still after the throne, do you want to get yourself killed, do you not remember Williams?” Ngozi the second daughter asked.
“Maybe you don’t remember let me take you back to the memory lane” Oluchi said.
“Williams the third son grew greedy and very impatient, he felt there’s no need for them to wait for the princess, he called the priest to crown him as the king and the priest warned him against it because of the oath the King had made concerning the throne but all fell on deaf ears he decided to sit on the sacred throne people are afriad of but before he could step to the foot of the throne he was struck down dead, do you want that for your self?” Oluchi asked.
“At least let’s be considerate we killed her parents because of the throne and selfish interest,he has beaten us at our own game, we derived the princess the joy of growing up with her parents enough is enough! I will not take part in any evil again” Ngozi said.
“It’s true though what’s so special about the throne anyways, his family are the ones the Oracle choosed let not try to tamper with destiny because we tampered with it the first time and nothing happened to us doesn’t mean nothing is not going to happen to us the second time,am out too” Alfred stated.
“Shut up all of you stupid people,the throne is mine and no one I meant no one can stop me including you bunch of fools and that foolish daughter of Lawson, her greatest mistake is coming back she shouldn’t have” Eze thundered and walked out of the house.
“Gosh I need to tell Jessica to stop her stupidity” Oluchi said walking out of the room.

“Marietta is back” Eze told his daughter.
“What? I thought she’s never coming back, she’s going to spoil everything for us” Unice said.
“Am glad we’re on the same page” Eze replied.
“What are we going to do dad?” Unice asked.
“Come closer and let me tell you” he said and he whispered into her ears.
“Dad will it work?” .
“Yes it will just play your part well”.
“Ok dad I will try my best”.
“Please Unice don’t try your best, put your best”.
“Dad! Will I still get married to Maxwell?” .
“No”.
“Huh” she exclaimed disappointedly.
“Is there something I should know?” He asked.
“Um just that I like him” she smiled.
“You are so stupid Unice” he snapped.
“, What Dad? Isn’t that what you said I should do so if I love him that shouldn’t be a problem I don’t understand you dad” she exclaimed.
“Shut up idiot” he yelled.
“Come on dad, don’t use that tone on me we are the same and we are both selfish so I resemble you,if I can’t marry Max there is no point in doing this anyways am out of here” she said standing up.
Eze seeing that his daughter might back out of the plan called her back.
“Unice am sorry ok you are free to marry him”.
“Now you are talking” she clicked her tongue and walked out.
