castle of orano

”my lady you look adoring in this dress Nina complimented.

” all thanks to you Nina, I smiled looking at her with so much affection.

”nina! I called and she answered.

” I no longer want you to call me my lady anymore! I said looking at her confused face.

”should I call you my princess? she asked thinking deeply.

” no! not that either! I said sitting down on the bed.

”what! she exclaimed falling on my feet please my lady do not deprive me of the honour to serve you if i have done something wrong, punish your own way please! I beg of you!

immediately I stood in ultermost confusion what is she thinking?

no get up! Nina! I said helping her

up ”. I meant to say, you should call

me by my name ” stop this my lady

this… my lady that! its so… gosh..

”oh! she said standing up then looked at me closely. ”but everyone around here is

called my lady! very soon you will

become a queen ”. she said and I

smiled not knowing why. maybe

in disbelief though.

”you see my lady? when the prince

becomes the king, then you will be

officially called the queen and do

you know the best of it all?.

she asked and I answered ”no! ”

she quickly ran to shut the door

and came back to me.

”once the prince becomes the king

he will choose his queen and you

know, there are more than seven

princesses from all royal home

married to the prince! she said

with a pause.

I began a quick thinking I really

don know if my reason will

be true. ”does it mean the prince

will only have one wife? I asked not

sure. Im already scared of my loss

even before the game began.

”no my lady! the thing is… there is one so dear to the prince! she said smiling.

”I do not understand Nina! I said utterly confused.

” when the prince emerges as the king,he automatically becomes the king of kings the king ruling over the 24provinces and 16 empires of orano kingdom. so,the king chooses a queen for himself and crowns him the queen of all queens.queen of Orano. she is respected and her decree stands she is honoured by other Queens.

what happens to the rest? I asked not yet satisfied.

”nothing! they are still the king wives, they are still queens.but the queen of queens is the dearest to the king ”.

” every king marries more than one wife though! but I do not know if our prince will do such! .

”isn it tradition? I asked

” it is! she asked with a smile ”

”where is the prince? ”.

”the prince? she looked at me with a sharp gaze! Im not in the right position to answer my lady. but all thesame let your heart be at rest the prince will definitely choose you I have the feeling that the prince will make you his queen.

”I smiled sadly at her. I got married to an unknown prince what is it that the people are hiding about the prince? not just that getting to be honoured,one most pay a price why is it so?. will be able to get to that position? an ordinary girl like me? I asked myself looking at the mirror.

”my lady you don have to worry too much about all these things I only told you because I consider you a sister and I do not know why the queen mother haven told you seeing that you are not from the royal home.she said sorrowfully.

”its alright Nina Im only scared because… don worry how many prince do we have?.

”we have more princes my lady those are from the king concubines but then,we have three princes from our four queens. she said wondering why I asked such question.

then she continued. ”well, the third queen didn give birth to a son! she didn bore the king any child!.she said.

”alright I answered ”. seeing that all this is making me lose control already!

shall we take a walk now! to the see the entire queen quarters? I asked and she smiled while we walked out of the room walking round the queen quarters she mentioned to me all the symbols carved to the words and their meaning as well as the princesses living in them.

”my lady you should count yourself worthy in staying at the queen of queen mansion.she told us she lived there when she first arrived at the palace before the king was made!.

”wow! Im really honoured indeed I said turning to her and pointing at a mansion

”who lives there? I asked

” oh! its the princess…..

she didn finish the words in her mouth before a lady walked out from there in so much anger! and gave Nina a slap!

”if you are looking for an apartment for your fellow maid why bring her into my quarters and also, pointing towards my mansion have your badluck got you here? she said to Nina.

”Im sorry my lady. Nina apologized.

” better! now take this fellow maid of yours out from here she shouted referring to me.

I looked at myself properly I didn see whats wrong with me.my way of dressing have improved a lot and its meeting to the royal standards.so why will she say Im a maid?

”forgive me my lady but the queen has asked that the princess will be shown round the castle before the festive night ”

” princess? she asked stopping at her track!

”yes! my lady! Nina responded still holding her cheeks.

”oh! she said looking at me from head to toe! ”is she a princess? she asked no one in particular!

” how come no one told me that the prince has got a new wife? so,we are for now seven valid princesses! ”. she said with a sigh.

I can believe someone will be full of so much eagle and pride.she is one of her kind ill mannered and too full of herself.

”well I am Princess mehem! ” she said with a faint smile.

and you are welcome into the game I wish you luck! she said walking out!.

in a blink all other princesses with their maids ran out apologising on her behalf

”please do not mind her attitude! she is always like that especially when she is in a very bad mood. meanwhile you are welcome! a lady in her early twenties said dark complexioned with brown eyes she placed her crown properly in a way that magnified her blonde hair.

”there is no problem at all ” I said to them with a smile and they all went back after the warm greetings.

”shall we continue my lady! there are more things to see. Nina said.

”no Nina! lets go back to my room I will get you a skin smoothing cream I said and we walked out.

I was so angry at myself I couldn do anything if its my maid duty to protect me, won it also be my duty to guide her dignity as well I stood eyes fixed to the cloud thinking.

”my lady please do not bother yourself so much about what has happened today Im already used to it ”! she said

and I turned to her.

” Nina! Im sorry I couldn do anything I was just standing there and someone just slapped you for no reason I… ”

” its good you didn say a word my lady!

her lady princess mehem is always like that so troublesome and unfriendly.

she calls herself the princess of all princesses believing the prince will crown her queen of Orano! its just her attitude right from childhood. ”

” I see I just said resting my back on the chair its alright when sifa returns please tell her I want to see her I said turning to pull my jewelry.

”alright my lady I shall now take my leave ”.

once she left I let out a sigh and hissed

” this mehem of a princess has spoilt my day! this is very bad behavior of a lady.
