58 MISSION OF SACRIFICE. (2/2)

Queen Idia did not say a word but released her aura which was intimidation, suddenly queen Amanze trialed to a stop for she suddenly broke out in goose bumps, why was the house so cold and I cant breath well.

Can we sit and talk, like two proper queens that we are and stop battering like market women?

Yes ....yes please sit down.

My Queen, the mother of the house obaseki the first, the first love of ourking, why did you loose it? You the powerful mother of our Benin Kingdom? you ran away from your palace like a coward, we might be women but we are certainly not weak, we protect our ownour husband inclusive.

Taking a breath queen Idia knelt in front of queen Amanze, you broke his heart mother, he loved you so much and out of all of us he expected you to be there for him the most. Yes after you he started marrying others but you also knew how long it took him to succumb to pressure of marrying others, we all know that it's tradition before we were married into a royal home we knew of this possibility yet he didn't till after your third child when you had that issue and couldn't take in again and iye oba (kings mother) put him in so much stress over remarrying.

Let me assure the sacrifice has been found so relax queen Amanze call your co wives and return to our husband's and stand by him.

As she was speaking they were both crying, the queens now realise that they did not play their role well at all, as the head queen she should have done better, she had all the resources at her disposal.

Those wretched high chiefs played on her emotions and made her feel so jealous and useless but all that will stop now.

Stand up queen Idia I am so ashamed of my self to be taught a life lesson by one so young, your wisdom is great and you have great composure, you are the true queen, Queen Idia, let me make you a promise I definitely will return to the palacewith my children tomorrow and with the other queens and their children in tow.

You don't need to go looking for them, once I ask them they will return. Let me call them to get you some refreshments queen Amanze said.

There will be no need for that my queen, let me confirm something, did you say you will return to the palace with the other queens and their children?

Yes! I promise to return with them, queen Amanze replied.

Great then you have saved me a great deal of stress, let's fight side by side with our husband and king and return the king to its glory.

I will take my leave now, I have other business to take care of, please take care of yourself and my best wishes to the other queens.

Queen Idia we are more grateful to you, you are the best and thank you for opening my eyes.

I will take my leave then, see you tomorrow.
