👫💞 The Prince And I Chapter Seven:
(Slave To The Royals 🧏)
🧡 EFUA KELECHI’S POV 🧡
“And make sure you bring your best men, Uza included”
i hear their gasps as I say that and from the corner of my eyes, I can see them staring scornfully at me. They do not know me, Forget my petite stature, I can take them all down if I am not badly injured.
I cock my head to a side, one hand on my waist. “Shall we begin?”
“You want to fight us unarmed? You really are a foolish one slave” Uza snickers, I roll my eye.
“You oul offer me your sword if you are worried about me, but I assure you I will not be needing it anyways” I say in reply.
“His Majesty has arrived” Dubem announces and they all disengage, forming a straight line behind me as they crouch down in curtesy.
I look up and see him__His so called Majesty, King of the Royalies.. The one man I must get my revenge on for killing my family and my best friend.
“You should bow before the king, Slave” I hear one of the guards say behind me.
“He is not my King” I reply, loud enough for everyone to hear. They all gasp and it is then I notice the strange man and a young girl standing beside the king, my eyes widens when I take in his dressing. I look up at him and he is staring at me blankly.
He can’t be.. The strange man is the prince.. Oh no!
I take a deep breath and hold my stance boldly. “So you want a duel ehn?” The king finally speaks. I nod in reply.
“Yes I do”
“And you think I would grant you?” His voice comes out with a mocking edge to it.
“You might not want to, but then you will not have a choice” I reply dryly and they all gasp again. Surprised much?
“You insolent slave!” One of the guards behind the king rush forward but the king holds up his hands.. Good job King Majesty.
My eyes travel to the waist band of the young girl beside the prince and I sight a dagger sticking out. Swiftly I grab the girl and pull out the dagger, my elbow placed aginst her neck and the hilt of tge dagger pressed lightly on her neck.
“No!” The Prince starts to step forward and the guards behind me all move closer.
“If you take another step, I will not hesitate to finish your princess off just like your warriors killed my parents and burnt my best friend alive after defilling her” I bellow and the girl whimpers shakily, her breath coming out in rapid gasps.
“Stay still, I won’t kill you” I whisper for only her to hear.
“Stay still guards” The King says, his voice coming out shaky but he tries to mask it. “What do you want slave?”
“First off my name is Efua.. efua Kelechi not slave” I say with as much courage I can muster up.
“Fine, Fine.. What do you want Efua Kelechi?” He asks. I smirk at him and tighten my hold over the girl’s neck, not hurting her but not giving her a chance to escape my grip either.
“It is simple.. Let the others go.. No, I know you will not let them go.. But do not kill them anymore. If possible just let them work for your kingdom”
“Is that all?”
“Ia m not finished yet King Majesty, so calm down sir” I say with a snicker. “I do not think the duel would have any meaning again but I think Uza still wants to try me out” I pause and glance at Uza whose big eyes are glaring at me. i laugh dryly and continue.
“So how about a duel with Uza, and if I win.. I get to work for the royal palace as one of the warriors”
“What!” the King’s startled voice rings out.
“Do not worry King, I will serve you fearlessly and blamelessly, I wont kill any of your warriors. Maybe not yet” I say with a laugh.
“That is if you win the duel” Uza remarks.
“Uza shut up!” The prince snaps and turns to his father. “Father listen to the girl, she has a dagger up Kevwe’s throat.
Oh so the girl’s name is Kevwe.
“Hey Kevwe, Tell your father to listen to your brother” I say sweetly with a smile. Kevwe looks up at me.
“You have on Lotanna’s cloth, You just challenged my arrogant father.. And you have my own dagger to my throat. I think I might like you” She whispers quietly. I roll my eyes. “Do not like me little one, I might be your doom. Now tell your dear old father to grant my request”
She smirks and starts to whimper. “It is fake do not worry” She says silently and turns to her father.
“Father please listen to her, I don’t want to die” She breathes out in a mock shaky voice. This Kevwe girl is really a good pretender, I’m almost believing her.
“Okay.. okay. obaseki, let the prisoners out, assign them to work in different part of the palce now!”
“Yes Your. Majesty” The guard behind the king bows and rushes away.
“Will you release my daughter now!”
“Let her go please” The prince begs. I raise my brow at him.
“Not so fast Prince Lotanna… Where is Uza? He seems to have a lot of disregard for me, how about you set him on the right part.. First telling him to call me by name” I say smirking.
“Uza…. Come forward” The king snaps. Oh what coward king he is. Uza steps forward with a scowl on his face.
“Let’s do this Efua… There is no need for the duel, I will let you work for me and you will be placed in a rank above Uza.. Just let my daughter go” The king says.
I lick my sore lips. “Is that a deal King Majesty?”
“It is..”
“And what if anyone tries to kill me?”
“They will be eliminated”
I laugh and release Kevwe. “I’m holding to your word King Majesty”
