"Wake up princess" I heard my brother say while shaking me awake."Ugh, why can't I sleep in today?" I questioned while rolling over and pulling the covers over my head.
"*chuckle* I would say yes, but we have some things to take care of, but if you wish for a moment longer of rest, I'll have Tanonu bring in your breakfast," Ghezo said, my brother, placing a kiss to the top of my head before leaving my room, laughing as I rolled my eyes before laying back down.
As I laid down I looked up at my ceiling, just wanting to rest a little longer thanks to staying up late last night at the river, my brother the one to make me come back to get some sleep.
But with closed eyes and my mind drifting off, it wasn't long till Tanonu had walked in with breakfast, as my brother said, now forcing me to get up, eating first before getting ready for today.
Normally all of my brother's wives got ready with servants waiting for hand and foot, the woman not lifting a single finger unless to do their makeup in the way they liked it, or do each other's hair.
I didn't have anything against them most of them were nice and had always checked in with me, but Shante who was Ghezo's main wife had always rubbed me the wrong way once in a while.
After pulling off my nightgown I walked over to the bath that was off to the far end of my room, the water cooling as I stepped in, a sigh of relief leaving my lips as I thought about what today would be like.
As I washed, I was hoping this "business" would be over quickly so I could go over to the market to just walk around and maybe get some things for myself.
Anyways once clean I rubbed in my shea butter, also using a fragrance oil before getting dressed, styling my braids that were down to my thighs.
Hair and fit check"Oh you're already ready, I was just about to check to see if you needed any help" Abeni, one of Ghezo's wives had said to me.
"Oh thank you" "mhm, now come on, don't wanna keep everyone waiting," the woman says as we walked out, Abeni asking me how I was doing and things like that.
"I've been fine, I just want something exciting though," I say once we made it outside, seeing the Agojie up and doing some stretches before their training.
"Hm, I bet Izogie's exciting enough" Abeni stated, the woman and my brother the only two aware of my small liking towards the woman.
"Yeah, I'm sure she is," I say sarcastically, my eyes looking over at her for a moment, her features calm and her rich scared skin glowing under the sun's blaze.
Anyways though we were now sitting with my brother and the rest of his wives, my chair being to my brother's right, Nanisca to his right as The woman king.
"You look good sis" Ghezo stated "thank you, you look okay too" I shrugged, my brother lightly pushing me as I laughed.
"You two never change" Nanisca shook her head with a chuckle, the woman knowing us since we were young.
Anyways though we had some of our merchants come and talk to us, the palm oil was the first meeting.
"Trade is good and is going smoothly, and production is going good as well" the merchant explained.
"Good, is there anything you need that would help you and the others?" My brother asked the man.
"That is generous but we are fine for now, but I do have a personal matter to ask of you" the man started, looking over at me for a moment before back at my brother.
"And that is?" "May I have the Princess's hand in marriage, my king?" The merchant asked, all expression leaving my face as I looked at him annoyed and unamused.
"No, anyways you may leave back to the palm oil production" I spoke up, the merchant looking shocked at my brother stated that my answer would be final, the man walking away while muttering to himself.
"*sigh* every time" I sighed, my head on my brother's shoulder "you'd think they would catch on" Nanisca grinned as we all nodded along, already wanting for today to be over.

As the day went on and another meeting had concluded, it was now just a few moments before lunch, and Y/n's eyes were trained on the Agojie.The Agojie were powerful warriors and if it weren't for being a princess, Y/n would love to be one, finding the woman cool and admirable.
But once their training concluded, Y/n didn't realize her brother and everyone else had left for lunch, and she also didn't realize she had been caught staring till her favorite warrior had walked over.
"Is everything alright my princess? You've been staring for a while now" Izogie said, somewhat teasing the girl a bit while also still being concerned.
"Yeah everything's fine, I didn't mean to stare," Y/n says, hoping it was just the blazing sun that warmed her cheeks and nothing else.
"Well since you're here, what do you think of today's training?" "It was good, you're all very skilled" the princess complemented, finally standing from her spot, Izogie coming over to help her.
"Mm, I'd say some of the rookies are lacking a bit" Izogie joked, shrugging a little while pulling a laugh from Y/n, the laugh pulling a smile from Izogie's lips.
"Be nice to them Izogie, last I checked you weren't the best on your first day either" Y/n chuckled, remembering being a teen around the same age as Izogie and watching her trip on her own feet when trying to cut the fake soldiers head, a memory the two know well.
"Mhm, so funny" Izogie rolled her eyes, sucking her teeth at the princess, seeing the girl raise a brow at her before softening up.
"It is, anyways I have to go eat, hopefully, you don't forget about me while I'm gone" Y/n joked "I'd never forget you, My princess" Izogie stated seeing Y/n smile at her for a moment before watching her walk away, hips swaying, her dress moving with her.
And Izogie's eyes lingered for a moment longer before Amenza walked over to have her eat lunch before it was over, Izogie shaking her nerves before joining the others.
