Revenge!
Episode 37.

Obiageri woke up in the morning and didnt find her husband by her side. She wondered where he had gone to. She was used to him leaving the house in the mornings like that before, but he was no longer the warrior head, he had appointed someone else and since then she had always woken up with him by her side. When she didnt see him, she assumed he was outside talking with Odogwu who stormed their house yesterday seeking for help.

Obiageri didnt want the warrior head to take them in because the whole village was aware of how Odogwu had betrayed his own brother in EKEH and sold his land away. She was also award of his wicked plot to take away peoples lands in the village. She had told her husband that they can't stay with them because if their wickedness, but the warrior head had said that it was temporary and the king would reward them and that was why she had accepted for them to stay.

She wondered what he might be discussing with Odogwu at this early hour and so she tied a wrapper to her chest and stepped out. When she got outside, what she saw almost made her faint. There he was lying very cold and dead outside his own house. Obiageri led out a loud cry that awoken both neighbours and people around. Odogwu ran outside to know what was going on, and then he saw the warrior head on the ground, lying dead. His body was swollen from the various stings and venoms fron the snakes that bit him

Odogwu: gods of our land! What is this? What is going on? How did this happen? What happened

Obiageri was still crying and shouting as people began to troop in to console her. Odogwu was confused. He knew there was trouble and he knew exactly where the trouble was coming from. He quickly ran inside and grabbed his walking stick.

Obiageri: and where are you going to? Where are you going to wicked man?
.I told my husband not of let u stay here but he would not hear me, I warned him about you that anywhere you go, tiu carry misfortune with you, but he did not here you. Where is he now? Where she shouted.

Odogwu: but I dont know what happened to him. I've been inside sleeping.

Obiageri: how would you know, how would you? Please I don't want trouble, quietly take your wife and kids and leave my house. I dont want trouble.

Odogwu: please! Be merciful, I do not know what happened to him.

Obiageri: please leave, or do you want to kill any other person? Do you want to kill me? Carry tour bad luck and wickedness and leave. When you've not come here we've been living in peace but just one day you came here my husband Is dead. Abeg go go abeg. Leave my house.

Odogwu held his wife and two kids and left the place. He had no where else to go, nobody was ready to help him and the only person who would have helped him now is dead. He decided to go back to the palace and plead with the Queen , maybe she would let him speak with the king to show him mercy!

Revenge!
Episode 38

Its the 9th day since anyone set their eyes on king Azaza, words have begun to fly round, that the Queen had done something to him, but the Queen cared less of whatever anyone said about her. Nina had invited her two faithful guards to come with a truck and wait for her at the back of the palace and they were already there waiting for her. She went into the room where the king was still tied up.
She opened the wardrobe and pushed out king Azaza was now very weak, he was rotten from legs up to his waist. He was so weak and could barely talk. Part of his hands was also rotten from his shoulder down. Queen Nina looked at him and untied him, because she knew he couldn't go anywhere even if he wanted to.

Queen Nina: Look at you, oh mighty king Azaza

King Azaza: (softly) please, please let me go, I beg you. My son needs me, please dont let me die here.

Queen Nina: I thought you would scream, why ain't you commanding and screaming anymore, why are you begging?

King Azaza: please, spare me, please. I dont want to die, please.

Queen Nina: I need two things from you,

King Azaza: whatever you want just say it and its yours, just dont let me die here please.

Queen Nina: Firstly, you will give me the Royal ring you collected from my princess the day you ordered her to be killed secondly you will give me the key to your treasure chamber.

King Azaza: yes! I will gibe it to you. As long as you take me to my son. The keys to the chambers is inside my crown, check inside you will see it.

Queen Nina: And the royal ring?

King Azaza: The royal ring is inside the chamber amongst other treasures

Nina quickly lifted up the crown and turned it round, and the golden key fell off. She waited for a while until it was a little bit dark, she knew the Prince had gone to bed, and she asked the guards to step aside and take a break. When they had left she went to the chamber and opened it. She was so surprised to see the riches of OKU. the land was indeed blessed by the gods with gold. She called in the two guards and asked them to load the trucks with the treasures. While they were loading, she spotted the royal ring and she quickly picked it up.

They made sure to take a good amount of gold from the chamber until their trucks were filled up and they could no longer carry. The treasures that was left was still very much but they couldn't take more even if they wanted to. Then she carefully locked up the chambers and kept the key in her breast pocket. Then she followed the guards and they went straight to Ikenna and Chimamanda. Chimamanda started crying again when she saw the golds.

Ikenna: It was for these that my parents were killed. It was for these gold that my entire kingdom was wiped out.

Chimamanda: EKEH may not have golds like OKU, but we didn't even need them. We were happy the way we were.

Nina: what do we do with them.

Ikenna: we do not have need for them, but we will keep them.

Chimamanda: Yes, we will keep them, from now in they are ours.

Nina: There is still more than enough in OKU, I saw them with my eyes.

Chimamanda: Let them be. We also have more than enough here.
(Nina brought out the ring and gave it to the princess.)

Nina: my princess, here is your ring. (She stretches it with a bow to the princess)

Chimamanda: dont bow to me Nina, how can a senior sister bow to her junior sister, you are my sister. And if not for you we will not be alive, and non of these would be happening. You are a princess and a princess does not bow for another princess, but a junior princess can bows down for a senior princess. So thank you (chimamanda knelt down before Nina, who was already filled with tears, she lifted the princess up and gave her a tight hug).

Nina: The king is almost dead, I dont think I have any more duty to do in that palace.

Chimamanda: dear brother, what do we do now. You are the king, so make the decision.

Ikenna: we return back to Ekeh, our fathers land, we build it and build our people.

Nina: what about Odogwu, the polluted rivers and streams?

Chimamanda: and the Prince?

Nina: yes and the Prince.

Ikenna: Let the gods deal with Odogwu, the way they are dealing with Azaza. As for their streams, if they need solution let them seek it. For the Prince, I can't answer that. Nina that is a question only you have the answer to. But for now let's go to Ekeh, our people are waiting!
