ANITAWhat punishment does he deserve according to the law? I asked. "Banishment." An elder replied.That means he would be made a rogue. I didn't want that, I wanted him to remain with me.Allowing him to be free to marry Nancy wasn't going to happen. He must remain with me throughout the days of his life.  His eyes flashed to mine but I ignored him. "Is there another punishment?" I asked. "He would be in the palace but relinquish all his right." Another elder said. "Why don't we conduct more investigation, your highness?" Conan suggested. What? Everyone turned to look at him "I know that this is a sensitive issue but we need to be careful before passing judgment." He continued. "What other evidence do you seek?" Elder Samuel asked. "We

AUTHORHe drove round the pack today, doing some deliveries, with his mind preoccupied on many things. When he arrived later, he heard that Conan had come looking for him.He didn't bother to seek Conan when he was ready he'll come looking for him.After a while when he returned, Conan arrived at his quarters.His face was unwelcoming and harsh. "I came to see you earlier." Conan said as he saw Rocky." To what do we owe this visit from royalty?" He asked, sarcastically bowing in the process.Conan rolled his eyes, they were not friends. They had never been and would never be. So his question was justified.Well he also didn't care much about Rocky. In his opinion he was pompous, more over, Rocky was about to steal how woman."It wouldn't be a surprising thing to visit my cousin." He said blithely, as he observed his surrounding.Weighty matters were not to be talked about carelessly. "That's a pleasure for his highness to remember us." Rocky replied sassily.After perusing that the

 NANCYI was shocked at the question. I wasn't expecting it at all. The look in her eyes shows that she wasn't going to be fooled by anything I said. " I didn't do anything." I replied bowing my head. It was the custom. I willed my heart to stop beating fast.It just didn't seem right that she was asking after Sylvia. I knew she didn't care about her. She was only looking for an excuse to pick on me. " Girl, don't test me." She warned. I looked at her and looked down. Well, you can't do nothing. You have no evidence that I did it. After that thought, I became calm. A wave of serenity washed through me. She must have seen the switch in my stance.  I watched as she rose and walked away towards me. She circlede but I remained in my position. "I don't know what you're doing, but I'll soon catch you." She threatened, snarling in the

CONANFor two weeks, things had been going on well between Amara and I. I had just concluded a meeting, with Nolan. I sneaked to see him, disguising as a guard.Diana intercepted me on my way to my room. The witch knew I paid her no mind at all.She must have been waiting for long.Ever since that stunt she pulled the other day, I didn't want anything to do with her." Good evening, Conan." She greeted." What do you have to say?" I asked." That's quite harsh to say to your betrothed." She said." Wow, that's such a shame." I replied." I know you've been going to see Amara." She said.That made me stiffen a little. I called her bluff." I find it hard to believe that you've not reported me to the Baroness. How generous of you." I said. That's what she was known for." That's because I want to make a proposition." She said. " Let's hear it." I said." I need you to marry me in paper and have Amara as your concubine." She said.I doubled in laughter. She was a clown. Marry her? She

Anita looked angry. " Where is my necklace?" She asked.Amara feigned innocence, " I don't know where it is ma'am." She answered." You cleaned the room last, how come it disappeared?" Anita asked furious at Amara's attempt at lying. That necklace was very important to her. She kept it in Conan's room, because she knew it was safer there. " Don't test me." She threatened. Meanwhile, Amara wondered why she was just looking for this necklace now.Something must be important about it, and she intended to discover it." I'm truly not a thief ma." She cried bring out the great waterworks.Anita wasn't a sucker for tears. It was a destructive weapon. Many liars employed this tactic." Take her to the dungeon." Anita ordered." I'm sorry, your highness, why don't you inspect the room again?" " Are you saying that they were lying?" Anita wondered."Please check again." Diana pleaded. " Go back and check." Anita ordered the guards, waiting for it to be a mode of distraction. She was so go
