55 SEARCHING FOR SACRIFICE. (2/2)

Calm down queen Amanze, queen Idia tried to comfort her....I know its not easy but its for the rejuvenation of the throne of our husband, if we allow another king to emerge then how can we face ourselves? can we even be able to refer to ourselves as Queen's? please my co wife let's put head together and.....

Now the hatred in queen Amanze was directed at queen Idia, directing her burning eyes at queen Idia she lashed out on her, you this Barren and witch of a woman since you can't bring fort your own children, you then came up with this horrid idea to kill our own children right?

Queen Idia was stunned into silence.

No, no, queen Amanze, the king cut in, this was never queen Idia's idea but the seers....

And you came to me?.....why? why my king, why did you come to me instead of your other wives? ....

Amanze you forget so easily, you are my first love, my first queen, you should understand me better I came to you first, for in my palace you are first....

First queen you say, wow then what is she doing with you then?

You all left me, you know, every single one of you that I accepted, as long as you bore me a child, she the one I rejected her presences, the one I told not to enter my chambers was the only one who stayed with me. When I looked left and right, when I looked back and front, no one was there for me, she was the only one standing there in the entire Palace.

So queen Amanze what happens? join hands with me let's do the bidding of the gods and our ancestors, so that we can go back to the thriving times of Benin kingdom and even more.

My king this can't befall me and my children, no, no way .....which of our children do you think I should allow this kind of fate to befall one of our three sons or our daughter?

I know how hard this is, remember they are my own flesh and blood too and I know this is even more difficult as you are their mother but think about it.

Noooo....no I can't do this, I respect you my king but this is unacceptable by me, luckily am not your only wife with kids go and try queen Efe or perhaps queen Adesuwa this is a big no for me.

Queen Idia patted the kings back in a comforting way as they stood up to leave and queen Amanze staring at them like two lunatic, while they departed her village.
