TENSION IN THE PALACE,
Prince Juel sought Yolander of the Valleys for the first one decade and two more years.
How capricious he was!But still he was unsuccessful.
Constantly,the guards and soldiers of his principality did not go back perhaps afraid to be killed by him.
Going through the memory lane, he 'd mercilessly massacred the men he first sent to seek Yolander.
His desire to go visit the kingdom he so wanted to rule was unthinkable.
He was at the dining table eating some wonderful meal.
From the look of things he was a foodus man- Melons, mangoes,cakes,juice, tortilla,chips and meat with rice was at the table!
Just how could he eat them all? Surprisingly, he ate all and was sweating profusely!
"Jeffrey" called he.
"Tell the Carriage driver to prepare,we will leave for Gemini Kingdom soon."Said the prince.
" I shall do just that,your Highness."said Jeff bowing.

Prince Juel made an arrogant entrance to the Palace;He had twenty Guards,Four cupbearers,Two ladies-their chores not known,Forty soldiers,Twenty horses were at the front while other forty were behind him.Six carriages plus The carriage they were in.
"King Juel We're at the Gates of Gemini Kingdom."
"Tell the guards to Open the gates wide our procession stops not."Said he.
"Open the gates The king is paying homage into one of his lands."said the driver.
Open the gates wide?King paying homage!
The Guards to the Gates of Gemini knew the king hadn't travelled for sometime now so who was this king?
Perhaps ,the Princesses had travelled but they'd not been seen for a fortnight now.
It could be them !
The two guards opened the gates while the other ten examined the personages.
And it was?
Prince Juel....What the hell?
And he was the King?!
They could not let him in but it was too late as the driver was already driving in !
"Don't allow him in!" said Austin the Captain of the guards.
He was holding the crucifix and the virgin Mary pendant.
While the commotion was high,he moved with the bravery of a panther.
Moving faster than fast....For What was death?He would serve his King loyally till death.
Others ran albeit thinking about their famalial covenants but he alone remained and died,a brave soldier to reckon with!
Although it was a bit silly of him to lose his life in search way, he exhibited his gallantry.
"I don't care about thee...My Goddess shall never let you be a king!"Shouted he before breathing his last!
He died a gallant hero.
The soldiers at very different stations gathered the royal trumpet having been blown.
Prince Juel had maneuvered and was approaching the throne of the land.
Getting in, he saw the magnificent throne and sat on it with glee!His few persons bowed before him.
Was it lack of order or black magic? Badomen?
The soldiers trooped into the throne room, guns at hand, swords on waist.
They were caught off guard but they could not just let everything happen.
"Surrender and you shall be spared."said one of the soldiers.
When nothing came forth, cries were hard as arms cracked,kicks echoed, and when all the traitors were down, the alarmed prince jumped out of the throne as if it was hot.
Trembling,sweating and shouting words of mercy ,he knelt with his head down.
So white was his face like snow that day !
Was this prince Juel? The self proclaimed king?The wannabe King?
He was trembling like a frail leaf!
"Paah."the slap echoed!
"You have no ounce of respect for the Great Charles and we spare thee not."Said the Chief of the soldiers ,Eddipode.
"Serve his head for me on a platter." Ordered the angry king.
Fear seized the prince of Umber principality as the king's aura was more than terrifying!
The king was walking stealthily like a lion timing its prey.
A lion he was!And a Great one at that.
The alarmed prince walked on fours as a toddler.Or rather an animal? Could the always trembling subjects of his see him?I bet they could laugh endlessly!
He hit his head down for like ten times , weeping and weeping.
It was so shameful that his rotten behaviours were there for everyone to see.
"Juel Darest Thou sit on my throne?Darest Thou disgrace and loath my kingdom and throne? Methinks you seek something!He who hits with a stone,he shall be done to the same thing.I kill you not ,for my hand is too clean to be tainted with your dirty blood.I will leave relieve you of your princely duties and you shall depart from Our land."Commanded the king.
"So it shall happen!."Chorused the personages and civilians who came to witness the wanton behaviour.
"Eddipode take this people for questioning."said he.
