???????? The Prince And I Chapter Nine:
(Slave To The Royals ????)
???? EFUA KELECHI’S POV ????
Is it the rustling of the trees that wake me up? Or the unfamiliar feel of the soft fabric rubbing against my skin. As I try to pry my eyes open, I start to expect the stings of the whip, or the foul smell that oozes from our body as a result of not bathing.
“Efua! Efua! Wake up” I hear a soft male voice drawing me put of my half asleep state.
I sit up instantly, squinting at the person that is standing before me. “Tari?” It is then the images of everything that happened yesterday comes rushing back to me, my escaping from prison and all the events that followed.
A smile spreads my lips as I sit up, I look around at the unfamiliar room and I remember Tari asking me to stay here since I am the only female amidst them, practically I have a room to myself while the rest of them either stay with their family outside the palacw or occupy a room in fours. Tari is one of them.
“Are you done admiring the room? We have only five minutes to freshen up because training starts in seven minutes and our leader is not someone that condones lateness”Tari speaks up.
I look at Tari who is already all dressed up and I chuckle. “Don’t I get a uniform?” I ask.
“I do not know about you but we have to pass the initiztion test before you are accepted fully and allowed to wear it, moreso the warriors are not happyy about you being in their midst”
I sit up and grab the leopard skin coat that Tari gave me yesternight which I hung at the edge of the table beside my bed. I shrug it on and put on the leather sandals by the edge of the bed. After doing that, I stand up and link my hands with Tari.
Tari gives me a quizzical look. “What are yyou doing?”
“Following you of course, didn’t you say we need to train?” I reply him feigning ignorance as to what he is talking about.
“You know what I mean Efua” He says.
“You say they wouldn’t accept me, why don’t I make them?” I reply him with a shrug of my shoulders and urge Tari forward.
Tari frowns. “How do ou expect them to accept you? First off you are a female and secondly…”
I cut him off with a wave of my finger. “I came in by a crooked way is that not what you wanted to say?”
“I would not have put it that wayy but yes that is what I wanted to point out, how do you expect them to accept you?”
Tari opens the door and we step out to the training ground. “Didn’t you sayy there is alwayys an initiation test? What if I pass it?” I say in reply to him.
Tari stops and turns to me in surprise. “You want to tr the initiation test? Do you know what it is about?”
“As long as I do not have to kill aperson then what is stopping me?” I reply with a wink at gaping Tari and skid off into the midst of the already standing warriors., but as I am entering, my leg slips against another person’s legs and I fall flat on the ground.
Their loud laughter that follows makes me know that it was an intentional move. I stand up and dust away the sand particles on my clothe.
My head whips to person who did that and I see one of the warriors on the line, a mischevious glint in his eyes and his ugly smirk daring me to do my worst. I can hear Tari’s sandals coming closer probably coming to my rescue, but then I do not need it.
I hold my stance and face the warrior fully. “That was a good stunt you pulled there mate, you know sticking out your leg so fast and making me fall face flat on the floor? Don’t you think? I say with fake sweetness meshing my tone.
The warrior in question eyes me, staying silent but even his silence is mocking as if asking what I can do. The ground is quiet, everyone of them watching my run-in witn this big fat man standing before me.
I smile and fold my hands against my chest, I do not think I am cut out for fighting this morning but a little push here and there would do right.
“You know, I was wondering if you will be as fast that when sticking that thing out to make babies” I add with a smug smile on my lips.
That flares him up instantly, coupled with the laughter that follows from his fellow warriors. From the corner of my eyes I see Tari staring at me, his eyes wide open with surprise.
“You petty slave!” Big fat warrior bellows and draws out his sword.
“Hold up, do you want to fight me when I do not have a weapon?”
“I will gladly do that slave” Big fat warrior replies me and draws up his sword to the hilt of my neck, lifting it up.
“Tega stop!” I hear Tari shout as he steps forward placing his hands on Tega’s shoulders. Tega frowns and shrugs Tari’s hands off his shoulders. I laugh and look at the Tega warrior.
“You seem to forget that your King Majesty made a promise to eliminate whoever kills me” I say and swiftly grab the hilt of the blade on my neck, ignoring the pain as it pierces my hands, then I push it backward and swiftly knee him on his member before jabbing the handle of the sword to his stomach. The sword leaves his hands and clatter to the floor, blood dripping from my hands as it does while Tega falls to the ground groaning in pain.
“Efua!” Tari runs to me and grabs my wounded palm. “Efua you shouldn’t have done that”
I grin at him and free my hands from him then crouch down to the warriors level. He grits his teeth’s at me. “I’ll get you slave” he growls. I open my bloodied palm and wipe it against his shirt.
“Next time. You should be a bit more faster than that” I whisper and wink at him before standing up. Then I turn to the others who are standing there gaping at me in silence.
I grin and place my hands on my hip. “Bravo! Bravo!” I hear someone say from behind me. The voice sounds familiar and I start to feel a brooding presence right at my back. They all crouch down to their knees and bow. I turn and my eyes widens as I run smack dab into his chest—Prince Lotanna.
