Queen Sheba's point of view.
Maame, where is my son, the prince? I have been searching for hime for some time but I couldn't find him.
"He went out your majesty" she replied.
What do you mean?
"I'm sorry your majesty"
What did I tell you about my son.
"I tried to stop him but he wouldn't listen to me".
Are you a fool?, can you stop my Son?. Why didn't you tell me he is going out.
"I'm sorry, it wouldn't happen again."
Oh, yes, I will see to it that it doesn't happen again. Because the next time it happens, I will wipe you and you family from the surface of the earth. Get that straight into your head.
Now, look for my son before I ask for your head for lunch!
Okay, your majesty. She bowed and run off.
Useless maiden. I have tolerated her enough. Since she came to this palace, my son has gone out there times already.
Prince Edwin has never set foot outside our quarters alone without me until this stupid maiden came.
I'm running out of patience. No maiden made such grievous mistakes but they paid with their head.
Ah, we are supposed to playing our royal game by now.
I couldn't even sit until my Son returns.
**********************************
Sweetheart you are back, you got me scared. Why didn't you tell me are going out.
"will you have allowed me"?He ask
Is that an answer?.
"My Queen don't worry, my identity is well protected."
Where did you go?
"I went to Queen Zina's quarters to play with my brother Stephen"
What, what did you just say Edwin? I can't believe my ears. You went to that witch. My son, I'm your mother, I know what is good for you. Zina and her children don't love you. They wish you dead.
"Why do you say that mum"?
Because she tried killing you last year on your birthday. She was the one who brought the food that almost killed you if not for the Royal healer.
"Mum, are you sure?"
Yes Sweetheart, they are jealous of you because, you are the heir to the thrown. You know Zina was the first wife right? .
She never agreed for your father to marry a second wife in the first place but the people of the kingdom insisted. That is why she hates us.
What annoyed her most was how strong and powerful you are.
"My queen, I think you are making sense. I won't go there again. Maybe if I keep going there my identity will be revealed. Today, Queen Zina's ask me why I don't expose my chest as other boys does?"
Really,and what did you tell her?.
"I told her this is how I prefer dressing and that I want to be different from others"
Brilliant, that's why I love you.
Now, you are not allowed to play with anyone again.
"Yes, my Queen Mother, I will always train and play with you and Maame. "
Which Maame, that useless maiden?. I don't want any maiden getting close you. She cannot even do her job properly. She is pissing me off. I can see both of you are bonding.
What ever you say Her Royal Highness.
Good, let go for dinner.
Good news, I tried to convince him. I thought it will be more difficult. He understood, perfectly.
I can't wait to teach this living creatures of Sika kingdom that a woman must be feared.
Prince Edwin's point of view
My mother said my life is danger. My step mom wants to kill me. How possibly, she is the calmest mum I have ever met. Somehow I know she is curious about something due to questions she asked me. I had to lie to my mum before she kills her.
There are so many questions that I need answers to.
I tried asking queen Zina but she wouldn't talk to me.
My life is a mistry. As for today I'm going to force my mother to talk to me.
Queen Zina is a good woman, the whole kingdom knows about that. I don't know her offense but somehow I know most people especially the elders hate her including my mom.
I know if I don't stay away from her, my mom will kill within a twinkle of an eye.
I walk majestically to my mother's door.
Mom can I come in?
"Yes, sweetheart."
I walked in and took my seat.
"What brought the future King of Sika kingdom to my humble abode."
I can see you in good mood, my queen.
"Yes, My Prince"
I wanted to ask you a question.
"Alright go ahead, I'm all ears. My ears though are very small, the are capable of listen to any form of news without shaking."
Why do you call me prince instead of princess.
