Chapter 32

Prince Ahmad Princess Avian is downstairs to see you. She waits in the garden and says her visit is urgent.

Ahmad went downstairs to the Garden stay he instructed his guard. What do you want? Ahmad please listen your mother told me to say that.

You lie my mother would never ask you to bare false witness against her own son Avian. Yet she did Ahmad I swear by the ancestor's.

I came to tell you that. I love you Ahmad but I won't start our love predicated on lies apologize to Samira for me please.

Avian left the house with her ladies in waiitng in tears. You heard that? Yes prince Ahmad. I'll have the law guadian write a sworn statement are you okay with signing to exactly what was told said? I am Prince Ahmad.

Samira was in town shopping and being fitted for dresses robes and royal rider's attire.

How much please? One thousand dragone shillings. Samira looked to her ladies on waiting whom she called her friend's.

Princess no need to worry we are placing it o. The tab of King Obsidian Firestone he left a hefty some of money on escrow for you upon your return, all the merchants have been taken care of before his disappearance.

Why do you say dissapreance and not death? We all know King Obsidian would never just leave us something had to be very wrong for him to go.

Plus she whispered some swears he was seen last night on the largest dragon they ever saw he was a red dragon a special breed. King Obsidian soared through the sky wearing royal rider's attire looking kingly.

You believe that? Oh yes Princess we women are praying you become Queen so some things can change toward us ladies. Would you be willing to host tea to hear from some of us at Castle Waterstone? Some of us have never been inside the castle's.

Sure bring all the girls all ages babies as well. Really?! When? Tomorrow night yes? Yes ma'am. Be prepared to have fun! Yes princess. How does five sound? Wonderful see you then.

Oh man her maid said. What? The women are goinf to love you to death. Women talk to husbands and nag them and close their legs when they are unhappy. Haha you are smart Samira. Thank you Elle!
Come we have a party to plan!

Samira had a live band play music they liked. It wasn't the music she grew up with. She would speak with Obsidian about the shadow demons escorting her into the mirror to get anything related to music including her Noni's record player and vinyls.

She needed more if her jeans and leggings to ride in. The food was a lot over 300 women and children all female of Etharkia showed.

Lividia gave them a tour of the castle which they loved. Samira showed them the dragon eggs where they slept. They waved at the child descendants of waterstone turning the sacred eggs.

They were in awe of the number of eggs there were. They gave Samira beautiful gifts for her and Lividia for the castle including livestock and jarred food like honey bread and jams.

Lividia hired a staff of women cooks and maids to help since Jakar had very little staff. Lividia hired her own personal maid to attend to her assuring all her children were grown and she had no husband to speak of.

All in all she hired thirty people staffing the castle with all women. We don't call you maid's or servants we call you sister's Samira declared sister's of House waterstone!

Samira sat on a throne Jakar set for her she had no crown tell me sisters what do you wish to see different in Etharkia when I accept my inheritance?

Equal pay for women! Lady rider's a teen yelled! Voter's rights! The right to buy land! The right to turn down a marriage arrangement!

Samira held up her hand the room was silent. When I am granted appointment i won't lie and say you'll get all this I can say I will try. Some rule i may be able to bend until it breaks and some I will not be able to bend or break at all. Know in your heart that i am you and you are me and with all of me I will try and make things more fair and equal in Etharkia.

In the mirror where I was raised we have all these things but Noni tells me there was a time there where women had none of what you all are requesting today.

This was before my time. I was raised to speak with a razor tongue. To slap a man and call the cops if he is out of line. To turn a man down if he is not good enough to you. To buy estates not only land and to vote a d have say in every election in our land.

I'll need time but I will work on it. The women clapped feeling renewed in the knowledge that a new day was dawning in Etharkia and it's name was Samira.
