Nike and Leja sat at one corner
that night as they planned on
how to deal with Remi.
“I wish her nothing but death…
aah Leja you need to see what
she did to me and iyami…that
girl is so evil…I want her dead…
“I don’t want her dead but I
really want her to regret ever
choosing the prince over me,
and she has the gut to paint it
to my face…denying with
everything she got that she
wasn’t pregnant that is the
bitter part, if the prince has not
got her with a child I wouldn’t
have worry much but now
look…she said she will never be
mine and I will make sure the
prince will hate her with
passion, if I know she will
chose the prince over me I
would have allow the prince to
get drawn in the river where
he went to swim one day and I
have to rescue him…I would
have just watch him sink to the
bottomless pit…since I can’t
have Remi he will not have her
too…

“I have a plan Leja…you know
we are in this together…so we
have to work together and nail
that fool…lay with me so that I
can become pregnant and
when I become pregnant you
will make the prince to get
drunk or get him sleeping for
so long…I will ask iyami to give
me one leaf that i will give you
to place on the prince food…no
we are not going to hurt the
prince we can’t even hurt him…
the gods may strike us because
he is the heir to the throne… all
I’m asking is to get the prince
either into a deep sleep or get
him drunk so that you will
sneak me into his chamber and
I will try and lay with him if is
possible but if he refuse I will
make him feel like he la!d with
me because he may not be
able to remember…and you
will back me up…and with that
the prince may accept me as
his bride and I will become the
next queen of this land and I
will reward you greatly…I will
bear a son…your son, nobody
will be aware of it except me
and you, and that son will also
become the next king the
prince won’t know that is not
his biological son but yours…
and within the time I will be
the queen you can also be
having me in bed, I will sneak
into you chamber because I
will make sure you have a big
chamber here and you can
have me all you want…but I
will greatly reward you and
give you everything you
want…there’s a way we can go
about this and perfect our
plans…if you have a better
suggestion bring it on…let us
discus it…no time to waste…
“Nike…aaah…you are a
baddooo….how long have you
being cooking this kind of
plan…is just too much…I can’t
get involve with that…what if
the truth comes to light do you
know what the kingdom will
do to us…is very deadly let just
suffer Remi small and let her
be and we will all be…

“I’m not backing out of this…
yes we will deal with her…I
have a big plan for but I also
want to be with the prince as
she was, i want to feel the
prince warm body and his
caresses…I want to be the
queen and I can not achieve
that without your help, you
have your secret safe with me
and yours is even deadly
because you are wishing the
prince dead…you said you
would have allowed him to get
drawn in the river and die I will
hold on to that if you refuse to
help me achieve my purpose…
we are in this together leja…no
going back…lay with me…I’m
giving you my body for one
week and even more if you
want…all I want is to be get
pregnant and rub it on the
prince so that he can make me
his queen…you have no choice
in this than to agree to this
plan…we have to do this so
that we can have a bright
future together…I won’t tell
your secret out is safe with
me…

“I don’t trust you Nike…the last
time you told me the same
thing you end up telling Remi
that I forcefully la!d with you
and it was you that came to
me and you even promise to
keep it a secret between us…
“I needed to bring it up so that
she can flush the pregnancy
after she told me…I did not
meant to tell her but I was
ready to do and say anything
for her to take off that child
but she still refuse…that was
why I told the old fool but she
was stiff necked in keeping the
child…but now she will regret
ever crossing me…are we
together or not…we need to
work as a team and not let
anyone suspect us…
“hmmm…Nike…I fear for this…
but I’m ready to suffer the
prince for taking Remi from
me…I hate him and I hate her
even more…
“Yes…very good, that is what
I’m talking about…hate them
with passion…let hate drive
you with force so that we will
achieve our aim together….you
will sneak me out in the night I
need to go and collect
something from iyami…she will
be waiting for me close to the
palace and I will return
immediately after collecting
it…you are the chief guard here
you have to watch out
intensively and not allow
anyone to know when I leave
and when I returns back.
Remi stayed inside the next
day with the princess, she has
had series of night mare and
have to wake up early, she
wondered what will happen
now, the prince has not said
anything or summon her, he
has being quiet since yesterday
and the silent was killing her,
she wish the prince will let her
know her fate so that she can
face whatever befalls her, but
no word from him till this
morning
After doing all her morning
duty she needed to make the
princess hair.

as she was making the princess
hair who kept talking about
marriage and children with
Tunde, Remi was not listening,
her mind was far and occupied
“Remi, You seem troubled
what is it…last night you were
so restless in your dream…is
there a problem and you seem
to be growing bigger…well I
just felt you are probably
adding some weight but that is
not my problem…you can add
weight if you want what I’m
concerned about is what is
troubling you…
“Nothing my princess…just…
having some personal
problem…
“I do tell you my personal
problems…why are you hiding
yours…talk to me I will
understand…I guess you don’t
really have anybody you talk
much to just like me…I don’t
have much friends except very
few that comes around once in
a blue moon, you are likely the
only maiden I disclose my
problem to…so if anything
bothers you should learn to
talk to somebody in that way it
will be less burdened because a
problem shared is a problem
solved…

“I’m…pre..pregnant…
The Princess quickly turned to
look up at Remi who looked
away in shame
“You mean you are pregnant…
serious…are you sure of what
you are saying…you are really
pregnant for who?
“If I tell you will you believe
me…I never meant for this to
happen but it was a very
expensive mistake and I’m
stuck with it…I’m pregnant for
the Prince…
The princess stood this time
and opened her eyes wide, it
sound so unbelievable to her,
she sat back on the chair and
looked up at Remi who bent
her head…

“I believe you…don’t feel bad
with my reaction…I know you
can’t pull such expensive joke…
but I believe you Remi because
you have never given me
reason to doubt you in
anything…but is my brother
aware….is he aware…this is
very serious…Oba will be so
angry with him except if he
intend to marry you to cover
for the shame…but is he
aware…have you told him that
he got you in with a child…
“I did but he didn’t believe
me…he was angry…because
Leja lied that the pregnancy
was his but I have nothing to
do with Leja, he was only
trying to spite me because I
turned down his proposal…
“maybe I should go and speak
to my brother…he may listen
to me…let us go to his chamber
so that I will let him
understand that the pregnancy
is his…let’s pray that the gods
grant us favor and he will
agree because the prince can
be difficult even to me his
sister.

When the princess and Remi
got to the prince chamber she
gently tapped on the door and
was later told the prince was
not in his chamber
The princess and Remi went
back to the chamber and asked
the guard to let them know
whenever the prince returns
and just as Remi finish up the
princess hair that afternoon the
guard came to inform them
that the prince was back, so
Remi and the princess went
over to see him
When the prince saw Remi
with the princess as they both
walked into his chamber and
Remi stood close to the door
with her head bent while the
princess came to sit with him
“I have being getting
unexpected visitations of
recent…and I’m no more
comfortable with it…to what
do I owe this visit again…
“Remi told me what happened
and I’m here to plead to you to
accept her…she is a good
maiden and have serve me
well…the pregnancy is not for
Leja but for you…don’t listen to
what Leja has to say…he is only
being pained because he can’t
have her as he has wanted…
“princess…you don’t
understand where this story is
coming from and Is very
confusing …I jut want to breath
and I don’t really have time for
this…she told me herself that I
never touched her the night I
suspected that something
might have happened between
us because I was drunk but, I
pleaded to her to tell me the
truth and she said nothing
happened and I usually see her
with Leja, I asked Leja about
her and he said she is his
woman…they are in a serious
relationship…it was also
confirmed by her sister Nike…
so I serious don’t know how
you want me to take up
another man’s
responsibility….if this all you
came here for I don’t have time
for this now…I have a meeting
with the oba later this evening
so return back to your chamber
and stop getting involve in a
matter like this…
The princess couldn’t say
anything and have to obey her
brother and return to her
chamber, after sometime Remi
came out and walk straight
back to the prince she tapped
and without waiting for a reply
went right in and saw the
prince changing up to leave
“What is all this….why are you
here again…why can’t I have
breathing space…
“I was saying the truth when I
say the child I carry is yours
and that Leja have nothing to
do with me and was only
ganging up with Nike to spite
me…i have told you the real
and only truth…
“so what can I call the part you
also told me that nothing
happened between us…was
that truth or was it a lie…how
dare you even come up with
such thing just to blackmail me
into settling with you, having
another man’s child for me…is
something wrong with you
Remi…my mistake is ever
picking interest in you but that
also has changed ever since
Leja told me about two of your
love escaped…don’t come in
here again talking about this
and I will be taking this to Oba
and I bet you that will not go
down well…

“was I suppose to be scared…
take it to Oba…tell everyone
that I was trying to blackmail
you with a child that is really
yours..

The prince was surprise to hear
Remi speak to him so bold and
unafraid
“…I am not asking you to
marry me or to take
responsibility of this child…I
and maami are capable of
taking care of this baby…I just
wanted you to know…I lied
before because you can not
even remember laying with me
after that night…you broke me
up, my mistake was not
stopping you but now that the
deed is done I have to carry
this burden and I don’t care
whatever the consequences
maybe my prince, the fact is if
you deny this child today never
come for him or her
tomorrow…you still have the
time to believe me but if you
chose not to believe that is
your problem and not mine…I
have told you the truth and
nothing but the truth…trash it
now but never you come
claiming responsibility of my
child in future…I thought you
are a noble man and will
accept a mistake when is done
but here you are calling me a
liar and believing everyone
else over me…o daaa…no
problem…the gods will judge
this case and bear me witness…
Remi stormed out and left,
leaving the prince standing and
having something to think
about.
Nike sneak out that night and
return quickly after collecting
whatever she when to collect
from her mother, she came
back on time with the help of
Leja as they kept on with their
plans.
