For the next day and a half, not a single man spoke. They walked slowly through the sand, not wasting a single step or a single motion. Princess Diana was been placed on a camel so she could survive because they all knew everything about the desert would be new to her. Silly mistakes can jeopardize the mission. She must be safe and brought to their king without a single injury or on her.Princess Diana was a strong lady. Years of grueling training had toughest her mind and body. But one of the things you learned through years of hard physical labor was that everybody, no matter how hard it had been trained or prepared for a moment like this when it crossed the limits, the machine broke down.The toll of days in the desert had robbed her body of fluids and minerals that one evening of eating and drinking will not quite replenish. Around mid-day the next day, they left the shifting sand again and began winding through a series of barren foothills in the shadow of the range, slowly clim
After several hours of being tied to a cart. They all gained back their consciousness. None of them were able to know the hours they had passed out. One of the guards was able to cut himself loose. He then loosed others. They all thought of going after the deserters who kidnapped the princess but it would be deadly. No water and food to sustain them and they don't even know how far they had gone with Princess Diana. "I don't think it is good for us to go after the deserters. We have to find a way to save those who are injured before they bleed to death." Chief Madu told others. An hour later they walked into the dark, silent dunes. Chief Madu was not the sort of person to doubt himself. But now that he was out in the desert without Princess Diana by his side, He realized how foolish he had been. The Abasia Kingdom was to the east of the Daila Kingdom mountain. But simply plodding towards the rising sun was no way to get through hundreds of miles of shifting sand. There were no land
Several hours later, the return of Chief Madu and all other members of the entourage was announced in the Abasia Kingdom by a guard at the northern gate. Every member of the great Kingdom has been longing for their return. Traveling to the northern region is considered deadly and risky. Anything expected to happen to anyone during the journey. They might be attacked by poisonous reptiles or thieves. Every member of the kingdom knows what is entailed in the journey. They all believed that the King had no choice but to prevent them from traveling. For him to allow his beloved daughter Princess Diana to be among the people that traveled, the matter required an urgent response from both Kingdoms, Abasia Kingdom and Deila kingdom, for the welfare of their people. No one other people the King can entrust with this task than Princess Diana and Chief Madu to lead the entourage. The news of their arrival quickly spread like a wide fire. The chiefs and other people particularly the members o
Princess Diana chose that moment to grab a dagger very close to her and hurl herself at the king. Before should reach him, however, his man had grabbed their spear and leaped to their feet. They were too blindly fast. One of the guards grabbed her by the waist and wrestled her to the floor. He made a move as if to punch her in the face. But the king said, "No, no." His voice was gentle. But there was authority beneath the soft tone. Princess Diana admitted she is impressed. The man who'd tackled her raised his hands and stepped off her in response to the king's order. "I presume," King Lugard said, " that my friend Daujah has told you why you were brought here. I am sure you are aware too." She laughed. ' I don't believe you say such. You kidnapped a lady, thinking she will willingly submit to do what you have orchestrated for her. You must be joking. I would rather die before I submit to you." The king raised one eyebrow. " You could have thrown yourself on that spear point," he
The cut wasn't noting though. By the time that Princess Diana had finished her meal, the red stain on king Lugard robe had grown to cover much of his lap. The young king's face look pale and drawn. It was obvious that his man were alarmed at all the blood watching it has it grown. None of them said a word about it. They were all startled. So she had been correct, her aim had been true. But this man, this kind man, was strong of both body and will. The king's guard's had made several attempt to call the attention of the king to his wound but he was adamant. He acted undisturbed with the cut. As a matter of fate, he was unscathed. He continued eating as if everything looked fine. In fact, King Lugard continued to talk with Princess Diana as though noting at all had happened. His conversation was lively, calm, heartwarming and interesting- tough, realistic, yet generous and wise. She had an odd realization: Abasia Kingdom's men bored her, most especially the wealthy ones.She had rec
Siyabong was sitting in the living room, having a conversation with Gift. Siyabong looked so tired. He just returned from work. While waiting for Jack and Jacquard to return from work, he said, "No man likes to acknowledge that he has made a mistake in the choice of his profession, and every man, worthy of his name, will row long against wind and tide before he allows himself to cry out." "Hmm..." Gift then Interrupted. "Uncle Siyabong what going on? Are you facing any challenges at your place of work that I am not of?" she asked. "What did you expect from a man who is married without an offspring for almost a now? Or who his wife had left because she felt he is impotent? Or a man whose boss malice watch is tact, hoping it would sleep, and prepared to steal snake-like on its slumber, or who got sacked for no reason and turned to a servant, working tirelessly." Siyabong asked. "It is okay uncle Siyabong. The gods have gotten you. Let's keep on waiting for the perfect time." She
People who live in the middle of the desert rarely know how to swim. Princess Diana was an exception, but wasn't an expert. She fell headlong into a torrent of water that spun her and thrashed her like a doll. Water went to spun her and thrashed her like a doll. Water wemt up her nose, into her lungs and into her stomach. With little energy and experience she had about swimming, she flailed helplessly at the water as she was sucked along through the darkness. She tried to hold her breath. Princess Diana had went to the middle of river where non of the deserters had gotten to. Non of them even had even given it a try because they believe that will surely leads to their death. Only those who knows how to swim could get there. As she move deeper in the river. She felt that she was definitely stepping on a weak surface which could break if it is outweighted. All of a sudden, she heard a sound of a crack beneath her feet. Her heart jumped. Before she could do anything, the flat rock b
CHAPTER 18"Welcome back to life my daughter." Queen Sarah said to her daughter. How long have I been here?" Princess Diana asked, looking up from the bed where she was lying. Her father, King stood beside her. Princess Diana saw her mother, Queen Sarah, seated at the foot of the bed. "Two days or more," The king said. "We thought we were going to lose you. A farmer found you lying in an irrigation ditch on the outskirts of the city. We thought you are dead. Even the physician confirmed you dead, but I believe you are going to come back to life. The savior of our kingdom cannot die just like that. What should be our fate when you are gone? "My daughter, looking into the eyes of Princess Diana, I am happy you are back. He then hugged her. Her mother, Queen Sarah could stand and watch, she joined them and the moment lasted for a while."The news of Princess Diana is back to life and spread through the
