In the villa of one of the affluent families somewhere called Iludan in Ife kingdom in the west, sat a man in what seems like a throne.

This family was known as the Akingbemi's they were highly wealthy and influential but not royal which has been a turn in their flesh. They have always believed they could buy anything they wanted and in many ways than one they have succeeded but royalty in Ife King was by blood.

This, however, doesn't stop the Akingbemi's from scheming and plotting, they believe that one day they will cause the people to reject the royal family and choose their kingship with them.

The news that the Crown Prince was on his way back to Wed the Princess from the kingdom of Benin, was bad for them that was why they were gathered here as fast as they could.

What went wrong Otunba? Etile asked the man seated at the elevated seat being the leader of the Akingbemi's clan. There were four of the clan members seated in the inner chambers of the leader known as Otunba Akingbemi.

The others were Ogbon Akingbemi, Olure Akingbemi, and Etile Akingbemi.

Staring at him with his cold expression, Otunba finally opened his mouth and asked him in return why do you ask me like I am supposed to be aware, I am clueless as you are.

One thing we all know is if the crown Prince gets to do this marriage with the woman from that kingdom we lose the little ground we already hold and I don't think I'm willing to allow this to happen.

Ogbon do you have any ideas? Otunba asked his third brother.

I really don't have any ideas now egbon mi ( my elder brother).

One thing, am really pretty certain of is that we have to act fast and take them by surprise since we couldn't nip this in the bud, Olure the fourth brother said in an agitated manner.

The expression on all the brothers brightened up.

You are right Olure! Otunba exclaimed.

Etile "...." Great!

Ogbon "...." o boy your head is there! ( ori e wan nbe )

Tell me exactly what is on your mind, Otunba said to Olure, there is really no time.

We all know that killing them with sniper a.s.sa.s.sin won't work, the king has one of the best secret guards and they would have already gone to sweep the airport by now, we can't enter the palace either that is suicidal, Olure said.

Yes, you are correct our fourth brother, so what do we do? do we want to kill the Prince? Ogbon asked out loud.

Well! well... why not? Otunba asked, looking askance at them.

Otunba I see your mind, your head is there egbon, Ogbon exclaimed.

Woah! great idea! why didn't we think of this before, when we couldn't kill the present king we should have cut off his lineage by killing the Prince we had to allow him to get this old and strong?

Still, we have to do this the spiritual way, what do you think? Ogbon asked.

Ogbon! you have just spoken my mind Etile said, nodding his head. Can we use the witches?

Aaha! ah! what kind of suggestion is that one Ogbon? when you already know what happened with the witches last time ehn? looking at him dubiously.

Second brother, for a second I totally didn't remember that incident that taught us a big lesson Ogbon replied. We can't use witches for witches are loyal and friends of royalty.

You are correct! so who do we call in then? Olure inquired.

What of Ifaleti? Etile asked.

which Ifaleti? everyone chorused.

Otunba "...."

Ogbon "...."

Olure "...."

what happened with him? Etile asked looking back at them thinking what he said wrong, Ifaleti is one of the strongest men in this our kingdom I even heard he made an improvement in his powers.

We know! they answered.

So what seems to be the problem? Etile asked looking extremely confused.

Etile you need to keep your eyes and ears open da Kun (please) how can you not know that Ifaleti has been frolicking the palace since his advancement?

Iro oh! ( it's a lie) Etile shouted. So we can't use him then.

Yes, we can't use him! we need a neutral person to do this work, anyone knows any capable person? Otunba asked in his cold voice.

I heard of someone by the name Fadeyi Ogunjimi, from one of the neighboring villages close to us Olure said.

That is very good, how strong is he? Otunba asked.

He is even more powerful than our Ifaleti but he is difficult to meet I hear.

You must meet him and find out if he can help us eliminate the crown Prince at whatever price he demands our Akingbemi clan can definitely afford to pay.

Who would go with Olure? Otunba asked, looking at his brothers.

I will go then Etile piped up.

No, let Ogbon go with Olure, make sure to tell him to finish up today, we don't want him to enter the palace at all.

Noted egbon mi ( elder brother) we will definitely arrange everything and get back to you Olure said.

Okay, so I leave everything in your capable hands while I join them in the palace for the king sent for all the high chiefs to gather, I am guessing it's about the Prince return and marriage hahaha! let's see if that will ever happen, not on my watch, you can all leave for your various tasks we will see later.

Okay, egbon! they replied and left his inner chambers.
