Larissa asked holding her hand

“Your father

She asked surprisingly

Kante knew she just made a terrible mistake for mentioning her father

She twisted her tongue and hit her head hard with a shout to divert Larissa attention from asking her any questions

Oh! My leg

She shouted raising her leg up.

Larissa got the intention about what she just did

She ordered the guards to take care of her toes while she see the prisoner

She looked back at kante who has stopped her pretense act

She smiled and face where was going

“The king said we shouldn’t dare open the gate, that no matter what may happen”

She rolled her eyes and bend down at the gate holding up the loaf of bread towards them. They ran over to meet her as she gave them the bread.

“Thank you so much my Queen may God bless you abundantly.” Khalid said from the prison.

“My Queen, please beg the king on our behalf please. I swear, I know nothing about what happened to Queen Atanga's children.” Kumo said in a shaking lips as he devour the bread.

“I see.” She said smiling at him. Do you know that girl?.” Pointing at kante.

“I don’t know her my Queen. Did she know me? I saw her pointing towards us just now.”

“Okay, no problem if you don’t know her. And just to let you know that, this will be my last time coming over to see you all since you refused confessing to me.” She said standing up to go.

If you can’t be kind to me as I have done, then how do you want me to always be kind to you to the extent of talking to the king on your behalf.”

“Please wait my Queen I beg you, please don’t leave us to starve again.

I swear I don’t know anything about the mu.rderer.”

Kedimo said crying profusely with the bread still stuck in his mouth.

Larissa didn’t listen to them and keep going.

“My Queen wait! I have something to tell you.” Kumo said.

Larissa looked back at him annoyingly and go back to them.

“What is it?.” She asked.

The king called for her into his room to ask about her outcome.

She think about informing the king.

But she didn’t want war to escalate between the king and the person.

so, she calmed down before answering him.

“My king, they refused to confess.”.

“I know those moron won’t confess.

By tomorrow, I have talked with the elders to have their head cut off and hanged on the pole.

She fell down on her knees immediately to beg.

“My king! My king please! I beg you in the name of Jesus, please don’t do that to them.”

“Why?.” He asked.

“Because…. Because I wouldn’t advice you to do such. You never can never tell if one of them might eventually speak the truth.”

“Then, maybe when they get to know how they will d.ie, They might speak up.”

“But still, I’m not in support eliminating them just like that.”

“Then, what should I do?. Because right now, you’re the only one I do have this conversations with.

“How about Queen kedibone, is she not worthy to be told all these? and you know she’s your first Wife.”

“Don’t worry, I don’t want you to talk about others whenever we’re together.

Whenever I’m with you, I don’t know why I do have this connectivity between us. Your patience, look and everything about you is pleasant to me.”

Larissa blushes, blinking her eyes like a doll. She hugged him and wanted to kiss him when someone knock.

“Who is that?.” He asked.

“Akila, my king.”

“Good day Queen Akila.” She responded.

“Why are you here?.” King khaso asked touching Larissa shoulder.

“I want to discuss something with you.” She said.

“Go ahead.”

“No! I want it private.” She answered immediately.

Larissa quickly thought for a second, hoping that she is not sent in there to come eliminate the king.

So she decided to act cold in other to get the king attention and probably tell him about the mur.derer issue.

“La…”

“There’s another tragedy in the palace my king.”

One of the guards messenger declared at the front of the king door cutting him short.

They stood up immediately and dashed out of the room.

Larissa watched out for Akila as she stood back internationally not hurrying away as they did.

On getting to the place the incident happened.
