MY KING SAW MY STAR 58 Mission Of Sacrifice.

Hurriedly they dressed up and prepared to go meet the seer. On getting to seers place, the seer explained that he was still making preparations and that the sacrifice would be buried alive, then the king asked where is the sacrifice then, I was told it was already here waiting.

Enh! yes its ready didn't you know...

The sacrifice will be here when the time for it come, queen Idia cut in, seeing that the seer was staring at her.

He could read her countenance this means she hadn't told her husband yet that she was the human sacrifice, what a woman she won't even let her husband worry even at this last minute.

Can I ask something? queen Idia cut into his taught.

Yes queen Idia go on.

Can we make the sacrifice later this evening I have to rush somewhere and do something very fast. Can it be done?

Why yes! night time is even better for such sacrifice and it will give me more time to finish my preparations.

Thank you seer, i will leave now, my King I will meet you at home then.

Ok, the king replied, it was clear that she didn't want to be question about what she was up to, so he just nodded.

Queen Idia left, she went directly to her hut and adorned her self with her power beads, to her this mission deserved all she got so she fortified herself after putting on the beads and the ring she pick up five stones from her box they were smooth to the touch more like the pebble but they were very valued even for her she could only get five of it throughout the year so she had be preserving them for use on very important occasion, this stones were ancient and very powerful for if crushed would transport you to the location of your choice, it was found at the bottom of the ocean odo.

The believe is that some people that have disappeared over the years after going diving or fishing must have unknowingly stepped or crushed one of this stones which must have transported them to the location they were thinking about on impact.

For one or two people had already said they suddenly found themselves in another place when they were suppose to be in another.

Queen Idia taught of where she wanted to go, which was senior queen Amanze's village, then she crushed one of the stone and like a blink she was right in the big family compound of queen Amanze striding gracefully to the door she knocked and waited for someone to come and open and welcome her in.

One of the housemaids came to the door and opened for queen Idia, after curtseying in greeting she asked her to wait while she informs them of her presence.

Queen Amanze came to the sitting area fuming, why are you back here? what you think you are enough to make me give up one of my children for a crazy sacrifice? you have to think again please leave my home.

Queen Idia did not say a word but released her aura which was intimidation, suddenly queen Amanze trialed to a stop for she suddenly broke out in goose b.u.mps, why was the house so cold and I cant breath well.

Can we sit and talk, like two proper queens that we are and stop battering like market women?

Yes ....yes please sit down.

My Queen, the mother of the house obaseki the first, the first love of our king, why did you loose it? You the powerful mother of our Benin Kingdom? you ran away from your palace like a coward, we might be women but we are certainly not weak, we protect our own our husband inclusive.

Taking a breath queen Idia knelt in front of queen Amanze, you broke his heart mother, he loved you so much and out of all of us he expected you to be there for him the most. Yes after you he started marrying others but you also knew how long it took him to succ.u.mb to pressure of marrying others, we all know that it's tradition before we were married into a royal home we knew of this possibility yet he didn't till after your third child when you had that issue and couldn't take in again and iye oba (kings mother) put him in so much stress over remarrying.

Let me a.s.sure the sacrifice has been found so relax queen Amanze call your co wives and return to our husband's and stand by him.

As she was speaking they were both crying, the queens now realise that they did not play their role well at all, as the head queen she should have done better, she had all the resources at her disposal.

Those wretched high chiefs played on her emotions and made her feel so jealous and useless but all that will stop now.

Stand up queen Idia I am so ashamed of my self to be taught a life lesson by one so young, your wisdom is great and you have great composure, you are the true queen, Queen Idia, let me make you a promise I definitely will return to the palace with my children tomorrow and with the other queens and their children in tow.

You don't need to go looking for them, once I ask them they will return. Let me call them to get you some refreshments queen Amanze said.

There will be no need for that my queen, let me confirm something, did you say you will return to the palace with the other queens and their children?

Yes! I promise to return with them, queen Amanze replied.

Great then you have saved me a great deal of stress, let's fight side by side with our husband and king and return the king to its glory.

I will take my leave now, I have other business to take care of, please take care of yourself and my best wishes to the other queens.

Queen Idia we are more grateful to you, you are the best and thank you for opening my eyes.

I will take my leave then, see you tomorrow.
