"Well untill you find your purpose in this place ,I will be consulting the dead for your sake."he answer .
" Don't bother doing that ...I may regret it later " she answered but was interrupted by the prince
"Why don't you want to consult them ?" he asks she turns around to see who was speaking with the mere looking at the prince her heartbeat increase as she opens her mouth in bewilderment ,the prince repeat his questions ignoring her stares .
"Why don't you want to surmorn ?" He asked
" I don't want to disturb the dead !" She says not taking her eye off him
"Or don't you agree with me young man ?"she ask
"I belief you haven't spoken your minds yet , young lady?" He reply

The Empire asks provoked by the manner to which Amaka had approach the prince ."Count me out of it , may I take my leave am so tired for the day ;and as for you young man I could advice you put your nose wherever it belongs to ; don't you know the difference between public affairs and private talks ?she asks
"Mind your tongue ...,before I slice it off ?" One the chiefs say out of anger
"Did you just threaten me ? Amaka asks
" Don't you know you are talking to the future Empire!" Says one of the minister ,as Amaka stares at the young prince , embarrassed .
"Sorry for my rudeness " Amaka apologize bowing slightly giving the prince dead glare .
"It's fine since there was no formal introduction " the prince reply with a smirk
"What do you say about the surmorn?" The prince ask again
"Whatever you feel is right ,do it " she answer
"Then I will take that as a yes " he reply as Amaka nods and turn to face the silent priest and nods to the priest who then turns around and go .
"When do I get to go home ?" She asks
" We'll take this as your home now "the empire answer .
"I'm sorry your majesty ..but I'm still a student !" She answer
" Yes we know but we are following the tradition of the land ;and you stay untill the consultation is done " one of the minister reply
" Guess I finally get my self into a morass situation "she says as the chief and minister start to leave .
"With your permission ..I would love to go home at least for the night ..I will come back tomorrow to do the necessary " she says the Empire nods in agreement .
Both father and son sighn out .
