Two women ran inside the palace, they
were in wrappers and fighting over a new
door tried to stop them from entering but
they pushed him to a side and rushed in.
The queen was on the throne, relaxing
with two guards at her back holding a
fan.
The queen was surprised seeing them
rush into the palace, they both knelt
before the throne with one weeping and
the other with a baby boy sweating
profusely.
‘What is the meaning of this rubbish?’
She shouted.
The two women were shivering with fear,
the one with the child expressed. “We
both gave birth to a child yesterday
night, this foolish woman also gave birth
to a boy, she slept on her child and he
died. She has now been claiming that
she’s the owner of the child.” She said.
‘What!’ She shouted. “Is it now because
of this foolish issue you’ve barged into
my palace? You have no courtesy, I’m
the king presently and order for you both
to be beheaded tomorrow and the baby
becomes the royal baby.’ She uttered
sharply.

The two women were beheaded the
following day, everyone, including the
chieves feared her and all prayed for
quick recovery of the King. The King is
not as wicked as this when he was there.
She received a phone call that day from
the Doctor, who informed her that the
operation was successful and they would
be coming in some days time. She was
upset by this call, she threw away the
phone and thought in her “this man is
coming again to rule.’ She thought.
A maid just came out of the kitchen with
a glass cup and a juice. She knelt before
her to serve her the juice. She looked at
her angrily as she was pouring the juice
into the glass cup. She shouted at her
suddenly and the juice fell, she ordered
for her to be locked up in the cell. The
guards themselves were worried, they
didn’t know what to do to satisfy her.
She was wicked.
