"I said I don't want to be told this here" Samata was blinking severally to prevent tears from falling off her eyes. "Where else would you have preferred I told you this?" The King asked but Samata didn't say another word."You know what happens when a King decided to get married, he takes away the bed he gave to his wife so the wife gets herself another bed by herself. It doesn't mean we are not still married to each other, it simply means your right as the Queen of this land has been shared between you and another. I want you to think about this and get used to it." The King then dismissed everyone. Samata walked to her room and when she got there she couldn't control her tears any longer. She broke down in tears and cried like never before. Her tears rolled down her cheeks and she hit her head against the wall severally times. It was when she had walked to the mirror and looked at it that she realised she had injured her forehead against the wall. She wiped it off. Shortly her hus
That same day was the day the letter reached Samata and she looked at it for a while. As she stared at the letter she burst out laughing in frustration. Her frustration was too intense that she used her hand to shove the knife on the table and injured herself greatly. The blood from her hand dropped on the ground until it was time for her to stop laughing. She lost her husband that day, lost her mentor the Seer same day and now her best friend. She sank on the floor and refused to eat throughout that day. The next day she was informed that the new wife was visiting and according to tradition she was the first to welcome her. The wife will be getting married to the King in few days time and it was her first visit to the palace. When the lady arrived she was very beautiful in her dress. The Queen Samata stood on the gate to welcome her. She was being led in by the officials of her father. She looked kind and she respected the Queen so much, respect which Samata felt was being accorded
When the marriage was ongoing in the palace between the King of Akozo and his new wife Rimma Samata was in the forest and eating the meat she had killed for lunch. She had refused to attend the marriage but hadn't made up her mind to stay off the palace permanently. When the marriage was done and two days later she returned to the palace only to meet a new King; Agor, the King of Akozo had now become very cold towards her and hardly spoke to her. He was carried away by the beauty and the love of Rimma his second wife that he paid no attention to his first wife Samata. This did not trouble Samata at first as she had attributed his snubbing to her being absent in his marriage celebration but unknown to her that was not so. The King of Akozo had lost every interest he had on her and had vowed to stay far off her. But Rimma the second wife would not have it so. One night after Rimma had finished making love with her husband she sat up on the bed and while the King redressed she looked at
Even though they tried to make her see reasons with them she wasn't ready for that. She stood up after they had finished speaking and were waiting for her to say something. She walked to the door, opened it and ushered them out. They couldn't believe it. They left with mixed feelings.From that day henceforth Samata refused to attend palace meetings and to her official duties. This got the attention of one of the palace official and he went to her court to ask her why she decided to be far away from the affairs of the Kingdom. When this man was ushered in to stand before Samata she didn't want to say anything to him and the way she was looking at the man in the eyes made him loose balance. When he regained himself he spoke to her."I know you don't want to see me but the truth is that I would like you to come over and be part of what is happening in the land of Akozo. You know that the King..."Get out" said the Queen and she meant it. The man didn't want to waste any further time. He
"Don't leave my room, don't leave my side. You are back to my side and now you want to return to your room. Stay with me here. Remain on my bed my wife" said the King. The King smiled at her and Samata who still wasn't entirely sure if the King was true or false continued to stare at him. After the King left the room she got up and walked to the mirror which was standing near the window of the room and looking out of it she found herself smiling. When it was time for Rimma to deliver she began to hear that her husband had become intimate once again with Samata. This did not bother her since she was the one that brought the idea of staying off the palace till she delivered. She had thought this wouldn't be a problem until somehow she began to think otherwise. In her mind she believed that the King having impregnated her and expecting a child from her, an heir there was no way he wild discard her. She believed so and aside this she wasn't bothered about whether her husband had anything
The King of Akozo that night didn't sleep a bit. He didn't go to see Samata in her room and even if he had gone Samata wouldn't have opened the door for him for she was very angry with him that night. Rimma didn't say a word until when she was sure the atmosphere was conducive enough. "My darling. Why are you so shocked that you left your food unfinished in the dining?""My dear, I wasn't hungry anymore. You won't understand" said the King"I do understand and I understand that you are confused right now as to who to love most but that shouldn't be so, should it? You are married to both of us and we now have have children, I mean when she has...""That's not the issue Rimma, that's not the issue. I neglected that woman because she couldn't take it. I never thought it could be possible again but now everything has changed. She has taken in and it's just something else for me now. Here is what will happen right now; I will be going to meet with those who are going to advise me on what I
There was total hatred from Samata to the rest of those in the palace. She began to see everyone in the palace as the problem she had had. First she hated the King and vowed she wasn't going to have anything to do with him again, then she hated his advisers believing it was they who led him astray and then he hated Rimma whom she believed was responsible for the King's coldness towards her. As days passed by, days turned to weeks, weeks to months and after Samata gave birth to Akiza she decided she was going to kill the King by herself and upon killing him she would instill her son Akiza on the throne as crown Prince but she planned to kill him secretively, then kill Zakiza after some months or years and then install her son as crown Prince.The day she planned this she went to the King's room to inspect it before the night came. At night she crept into the King's room and having met only him there, having planned to kill him alongside His wife and the new born baby Zakiza she didn't
Now that you have destroyed the world what else would a helpless old man like me be doing here on earth. Go ahead and kill me" Samata shortly stepped out with her fingers bloody. she had killed the Seer.Goge and Arore with the Prophetess arrived the Sea and boarded a ship. Meanwhile where Lume was with Aromo she had begged her not to do what she had decided to do, begged her to please spare her life and not enter the land of Akozo with her but then it wasn't what was expected by Lume because Arome had made up her mind and nothing was going to stop her."Don't tell me not to take you to Akozo Queen..If you are left here or with your daughter and those with her who claim to be doing the right thing what good will you do for her or for anyone. You know why I must take you to the Queen of Akozo? Because already I'm owing her, owing to the fact that because of me her son Akiza died. I want to make it up to her my dear and there is only one way to do that, to present to her that which she
