Darius rushed to the kitchen and I followed behind.
"Aisha, are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Why did you scream like that? You scared me."
"I was trying to cook you an egg but I accidentally burned myself." I stood at the door folding my arms, looking at the two people who didn't even care that I was there.
"Don't try to cook, Sasha can do it, come on, I will call the doctor for you." He carried her like a princess.
"Sasha, get your friend a medical box quickly."
"Or you can just do it here anyway the first aid kit is in there." I pointed at the cabinet with the box clearly shown.
"Please Prince Darius Sasha will misunderstand us, put me down." Aisha spoke softly.
" She is your best friend, why will she do that, besides you need to lay down." He went straight to our room and laid her on the bed.
I was suffocating, I just wanted to punch something, but I composed myself.
"Are you okay princess?" Why Mi, and the others rush to my side.
I looked at the strange maid, "You must be sugar, Aisha's maid, go ahead and take the first aid kit to that room."
"Thank you my princess," she quickly took the box and rushed out of the kitchen, a bitter smile spread across my face, 'not yet.' I whispered to myself.
"This is too much princess are you going to let the price and another woman on your matrimonial bed?"
"If the price allows it, who am I to object? I will be at the garden, please clear the table too. I am sure the prince won't eat anymore." I went to plant the flowers Mr B brought yesterday.
After I gardened I went to the spare room to take a bath and prepare to go to the palace. Aisha walked out of my room putting on my dress.
"I am sorry for not asking first, I didn't have any good clothes so price Darius borrowed me this one, you are not made are you sister?"
"Not at all, you look good in it please don't return it afterwards, you are my best friend after all, if the Prince allowed it let it be."
"You are so generous my friend."
The carriage from the palace came to pick us up, Darius and Aisha sat on the same seat I sat on the other side and the maids rode horses beside us, then followed slowly.
We were warmly welcomed by the maids and the two queens stood at the entrance. "My queen, I am princess Aisha from Lumezi village. It's nice meeting you." Aisha passed me by and went to the queen's.
"What are you doing here? This is to welcome our daughter in law for the first time after marriage. Please stay with the maids and make sure you don't disturb us ."
"But I am the crown princess's best friend. I came to accompany her with the second prince."
"If my son allowed it I would give you permission to attend the lunch with us. I am the second queen here to welcome the three of you." The first queen just stood there looking at the second queen giving us her blessings.
" Are you not blessing them my queen?" she asked and the queen blessed me and Darius.
"Please bless the other one for me, queen two." The queen went out to the garden.
"You won't be able to meet the king until lunch. Please have some patience."
"It's ok my queen, can I be given permission to go and see the flowers my queen." The second queen looked at me and she was about to stop me but to my surprise.
"Mother, my wife , loves flowers so much, please allow her to go."
"Permission granted."
The garden looked so beautiful and big. It's actually the first big garden I have ever seen. I saw the queen seeping tea looking at the same dog house as the one in the prince's manner.
I walked towards her. "Is there history attached to the house?"
"Yes there is, are you interested in hearing it?"
"Yes my queen." I bowed my head and pulled some tea for her and she pulled me a cup of tea as well."
"Thank you."
" My dear, please tell me about you first. I want to know if you are happy." I was surprised by the question but I quickly recovered.
"Of course I am happy, Queen mother, Prince Darius takes good care of me."
"Are you trying to convince me or yourself my dear?" The queen's question caught me off guard again. I didn't know what to say when.
The king has arrived. He is requesting for your presence my queen, saved by a massager.
"We will finish our talk later, my dear , let me take you to meet the king."
As soon as we entered the palace I went straight to the kitchen and carried a dish and hot water.
"My greetings to you father in law." I bowed respectfully and my three maids stood behind.
"Greetings to you as well princess, please rise."
"Requesting permission to wash the two queen's feet my king as per Sillia village tradition."
" Permission granted go ahead my daughter." Ever and Mercy brought me water and a dish, Why Mi stood behind with a towel, I first washed the first queen's feet then the second queen.
"I am now asking the two queens to help me wash your feet, my king."
"I am sorry princess here In Zumwanda we don't do that." The second queen answered.
"Shut up Martha, are you refusing your in-laws ' tradition? That's disrespectful." the king shouted, "I know this traditional king Chard lV has been my friend since childhood. Are you trying to insult him?"
" I apologize to my king." She knelt down and bowed her head to the ground.
"Permission granted princess." Ever handed a dish to the second queen and Why Mi handed a towel to the second queen, The first queen washed the right foot while the second washed the left. The two may be with the same states but the first queen always comes first.
I quickly went to prince Darius "please my prince put the shoes on your father's feet." I knelt down.
"My king, please permit my husband to put shoes on your feet."
The king smiled, surprising everyone in the room. "Permission granted."
After the ceremony I went and sat between the queens.
"My king, Princess Aisha of Lumezi village, greeting you."
"I don't remember inviting you princess, why are you here?"
"I am here as the Prince and Princess guest my king."
"All so you are the third weal then?"
One of the maids laughed.
"Who is laughing when the king is talking?" The second queen shouted.
"You are too worked up my queen. If you don't want me to send you to your Chambers please keep quiet. I can handle my own business."
"I am sorry, my king." I apologized.
The king pointed at Ever . "Come here?"
Ever walk to the king and kneel down.
"Do you think I was funny earlier?"
"Of course you were my king and you were also right. She is the third weal since yesterday. She can't leave the couple alone."
"Ha ha ha princess Sasha I like you right hand maid she is funny, right hand please escort Aisha to the guest room she will eat from there."
"Yes my king." How lucky this girl can be? once a man laughed at the king's joke he was prosecuted five years in prison, the king recognize me as the crown princess for sure his respect is out of this world.
" Father, I beg you to let the princess' best friend eat with us."
"Darius, are you trying to Disgrace me? Why are you the one talking in her Behalf? She didn't introduce herself properly, it's her fault."
"I am sorry my king, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I am the princess's best friend."
"My princess, what do you think?"
"Thank you my king, she can stay if you don't mind."
"Ok then she can stay on behalf of the princess, let's all go to the table."
After the king left the queens followed him and everyone else did the same.
"The commander and his household have arrived." The messager announced.
