BENIN KINGDOM:
Your Majesty!
Your Majesty!! the elders called out to His Majesty the King of Benin Kingdom Oba Obaseki. They were so excited and can't wait to inform the King!
Greetings Chief Oghenetega and to your chief Chief Osaro, the palace guard greeted.
You please go and inform His Majesty that we are back with great news! chief Oghenetega requested.
I will do just that sir.
Your chiefs are back the Queen told the king, I can hear them calling they sound excited.
This means they came with good news I will refresh and join them now.
Knock! knock!! they stopped as they heard the knock.
Your Majesty goes and refreshes it's probably the guards coming to announce the arrival of your chiefs, I will get the door, you go! the queen said to him.
The King went through the connecting door while the Queen answered the door and saw the kneeling guard, who told her that the chiefs request the King's presence for important news.
The Queen then told him the king will join the chiefs in a jiffy.
The King joined them as they all rose to pay their respect, after which the king asked them to seat and give their report even though he already knew the answer from the joyful grins on their faces.
Yes! your Majesty the chief Priest said the Princess has done well for herself! The Prince from the west is indeed the right choice!
My Lord! ( my king! ) he says they are destined and an auspicious date should be chosen for them to be joined in marriage.
This is good news then!!! King exclaimed.
Yes! your Majesty good news indeed, the high chiefs echoed.
Then let there be a grand party today, our crown Prince is so excited that his sister is coming home today, the King said.
As he should be, it is well known that those two are pretty close, one of the chiefs said.
Enh!.... Your Majesty? ...
Yes, what is it? the King answered.
There was another message that the chief Priest sent with us...
Go on! spit it out! what did he say? the King demanded.
He said we have to be extra careful this period until they are officially married and both their powers are magnified. He said the enemies are prepared to steal our joy by killing them or at least one of them, Hence while the western is Prince is in our kingdom we should protect him properly for if anything happens to him while he is still in our kingdom it will result in a big war.
The King taught for a while and while he seemed to be lost in taught, chief Oghenetega suggested that the guards, the very special guard that Hillary belong to be assigned to guard him.
However, the King spoke up, I can only trust this assignment to only one person and that is the Princess herself!
