"Are you sure you don't want to eat cake?" Shira asked David.
"No," he replied, getting up from his chair and heading straight to the kitchen. " Aunt, I can't find milk?"
Shira rushed towards him" That's because we've run out of milk"
"But I thought aunt rudev and Priel went to get food?" he looked at rudev waiting for an answer. Rudev looked away and turned to priel. Priel looked away and turned to him and replied "Yes, and food is on its way"
David ended up taking the cake and running off. Shira turned to them both and asked, "I thought you agreed not to marry him?"
Priel looked hopeless, she sighed and replied "Maybe I was just thinking about myself alone"
Rudev turned to her and yelled, "Under no circumstance would you get married to that man!"
"Easy for you to say, our kingdom is dry and you think I'll sit back and do nothing? If mom is being selfish, do you also want me to be too?"
Suddenly one of the guards rushed in and bowed"Your highness, the queen is having an argument with the prince"
Rudev, Priel and Shira followed him immediately.
"And I said no one is leaving my kingdom!"Sofia snapped. She was looking directly at Joza.He and eve were coordinating the people who wanted to cross over but Sofia spotted them and stopped them at once.
"Lock the borders, no one is leaving"Sofia commanded Mustafa. He nodded and ran away. The people cried, they were in a long queue carrying their families and bags.
"Please my queen"
"let us go"
While some even cursed her for making them wait under the scorching sun.
"What is going on here?"rudev asked.
"Mum doesn't want to allow the people to go"Joza replied still glaring at Sofia.
"And what do you want?"rudev asked. Joza turned to her and said"I want the people to be free"
Rudev and priel were shocked, this was the first time joza went against Sofia's wishes and it was strange.
"What has come over you?"Sofia asked.
"Mum, you've never ruled this kingdom fairly before and now the people are suffering, if you don't want to do the needful then maybe you could just allow the people to go"Joza replied. Every word Joza said made Sofia doubt that it was Joza that was speaking.
"And who made you change come to this decision?"Sofia asked.
Joz remained silent while eve moved her hands restlessly, she knew it was because of her. Sofia saw her suspicious movement and asked "Eve?"
Eve breathed heavily and muttered"Yes"
Sofia walked towards her and said"The only person leaving this kingdom today is this girl" she gripped her hands and walked towards the border. Joza and rudev ran after her screaming. Rudev thought her mum could change overnight or even the slightest but instead Sofia was still the same.
Eve cried"Queen Sofia please let me go"
Sofia was too difficult she didn't listen"I shouldn't have allowed you to stay in my house, you urchin" she muttered.
She threw her on the ground across the border of Persia and Nicaragua."Eve is not going anywhere!"Joza screamed and stood in front of her.
Rudev stood and wondered, "What was going on? is this joza that's speaking?"
"I agree" Rudev added.
Sofia stood amid everyone like the bad guy. Priel then said"Aunt ..." they all turned to her.
