Chapter 30

"What are you doing to yourself?," came the calm questioning words from Queen Latifa as she stepped into Prince Fedina's room, "Do you want to hurt yourself too now because of a woman who isn't as pure as the one I got for you?," questioned Queen Latifa as she came nearer to her son bed to see how he had soil himself in his own vomit.

Crown Prince Fedina heard his mother but he was to dizzy to reply her, he wanted to shout back at her and blame her for Alesa leaving him to go give her pride to the Kande prince, he would have taken her first, if his mother hadn't interfered and asked him to wait until she turns 20yrs of age, now she doesn't know the huge offense and atrocity she had committed against her tribe, her kingdom and her people, he didn't reply his mother and he watch her leave his chamber, Almost fallen asleep he saw some maids come in to clean him up and to change his clothes as he had drown himself in his own vomit as he was to weak to stand up.

He couldn't shout at them even though he wanted to, his voice was to weak to say a word, he watch them as they strip him naked and clean him up, before putting a warm new clothes on him, he felt much better and drifted to deep sleep.

The following morning was rituals to finally have him married to Felicia, they invited her family as these was done between the two families involved in the Royal marriage, After the final rituals Prince Fedina was married to Felicia and just as Felicia and her family returned back home, Her sisters were all smile to finally visit the palace and finally get to see their big sister happy, they wish her good lucks in her new home while they turned and went back home.

Since Felicia came into the palace she had not spoken to Prince Fedina, neither did Prince Fedina spoke back to her either, even when they were performing their marriage rituals, he didn't say any word to her, but did all the requirements by the Royal chief priest to have them joined as a couple, Felicia wondered if Prince Fedina has someone else he had wish to marry other than her as he didn't even cast a single eye to stare at her in any loving way, rather he looked at her, like she meaned nothing to him or he was just doing some business transaction.

She didn't know whom she could talk to about her relating with the crown prince and she hardly see his brother as he was studying outside of the Jalin Royal Palace, and their sister, she never even bother to check on her as she felt Felicia wasn't her mate and she should keep a distance away from her.

Felicia felt lonely, knowing that the Royal family were preparing for the upcoming coronation, she decided to keep her calm and be hopeful that Prince Fedina will later fall in love with her, even if he didn't seem to love her at first sight, she was hopeful his love for her will grow later and she only needed to exercise patient and be good and supportive to him like a normal Queen should.

The weekend came and the time for Prince Fedina coronation finally came, the Royal palace was heavily decorated with incest and some other coloured candles and ritual stuffs burning with the chief priest doing some incantation, Prince Fedina stood and knelt in front of the ritual sacrifices that had been made, he had only a red wrapper tied around his waist while the chief priest recite the Jalin coronating words before finally lifting the king's crown and moving towards Prince Fedina where he knelt besides the rituals, he placed the crown on his head and crown him king.

All the elders and top chiefs and royal families present to witness the coronation clapped and immediately stood up for their new king, King Fedina of Jalin, they hailed him chanting, "Hail King Fedina of Jalin Kingdom!,"

"Hail King Fedina of Jalin kingdom, Hail! Hail! Hail!,' They chant while Crown king Fedina stood up and pick his new sacred staff of honor, that had the symbol of a lion carved on it. He raised his right hand holding the sacred staff up and the cheers of his people got louder, as the elders and Noble families hailed him loudly.

Shortly after, Princess Felicia was crowned the new Queen as Queen Latifa had to resign her reign and join her mother as past queen, she was all smiles as she was happy to have chosen some else for her son to become the next Queen. She had not thought about it clearly that if Tata's daughter were to have been crowned the new Queen, she was doomed as Tata will now have more privillege more than her, she smiled sweetly to Princess Felicia as she was crowned the new Queen, even though she was young, it was the customary orders of the gods that they had to follow.

"Hail Queen Felicia of Jalin, Hail Queen Felicia of Jalin, Hail! Hail! Hail!," They chanted and the ceremony begin, they partied and ate to their satisfaction celebrating with the Royal family.

New Queen Felicia was very happy, she didn't have to worry about anyone again and she didn't want to worry herself if King Fedina loves her or not, now she's Queen and she will be respected by all, having such greater title and powers was more than enough for her, she didn't have to worry if her husband perform his duty as a husband and have them consummate their marriage, she was very satisfied with her new tittle and smiled sweetly to all the higher top extended royal families that came to greet her and her husband Crown king Fedina where they sat.

After the coronation ended King Fedina didn't do anything, neither did he drink much alcohol again, his mind was cleared and he was calm, he never had expected to become king at his early age of 26years, he swallowed as he ate his last meal for the day, the party and celebration had long ended during the day, before the evening fell, so he was back in his chamber, eating his meal alone as he didn't want anyone to join him nor disturb his peace, few minutes later he heard a knock on his door and before he could respond to know whom it was, his mother came in and close the door behind her.

"Mother! Don't you think is a sin to just sneak in and out of my chamber whenever you feel like?," questioned King Fedina as he dug his teeth into his chicken and cut out it flesh while he chewed it.

"Fedina I didn't come hear to banter words with you," replied his mother.

"No Mother, you are wrong, point of correction, Crown king Fedina or you can just call me King Fedina, am your son doesn't mean you should disrespect my new title," he said, with a stern look.

Queen Latifa mouth was left agape and after a short while she calmed and nodded, "Good.. King Fedina, may I speak with you now?," questioned his mother as she glared at him.

"You may go on with why you are here," He smiled as he replied her and continued eating his chicken sauce.
