This last comment completely finishes off Ékobo who has no intention to look even more coward.

Bindzi, who is sitting on the sofa, looks attentively at these three young women who are now a few meters from him. Ella wears a long light green skirt decorated with multi-colored flowers but dominated by pink with a light white top that is jagged at the chest and sleeves. Her top, which is not long enough to touch her skirt, reveals part of her stomach. Bella is wearing a tight jean short and the same type of top as her sister.

It should be noted that Bindzi still does not know the difference between Bella and Ella.

Ama wears a light blue dress, also flowery. She gives an impression of incomparable freshness which gives even more weight to each of her words.

"I'm starving." Comments Ama, who comes to cut this moment of contemplation. "I messed up my dinner with Enama and I worked out quite a bit."

She who nevertheless ate without hesitation with Énama. Without even caring that he might have put something in the food or in the drink is the first to claim her next meal.

"Yes, you're right. It's time to eat." Azombo comments as he meets the group of young people in the living room.

He then invites them to go to the dining room.

"Please follow me." Azombo said. He turns back to Ama. ''Princess, is everything alright?''

"Yes, no need to worry." Ama replies. "We just had to keep an eye on these idiots. Leaving them unattended was more dangerous than anything that happened to me today."

"Please excuse me." Azombo replies sincerely. "I'll be more careful next time."

''Don't worry about that...'' Said Ama whose thought shift when she discovered the feast Azombo had prepared.

On the big table she can see Ndolè, Prawns and Sanga.

''When did you have time to do all this?'' Ama asks.

''It's the least we can do.'' Replies Azombo. ''Besides, not all the credit goes to me. I called for Nyangono this morning.''

"Ah Nyangono is here... She doesn't even bother to come and greet me?" comments Ékobo.

''She humbly apologizes my prince.'' Said Azombo. ''She's currently cleaning up the pool upstairs.''

"OK. Let's eat while it's still hot." Says Ékobo who does not want to remember this event for which he is partly responsible.

The group sits at the table and everyone eats in silence. The tension is palpable but no one dares to start the conversation. That's without counting on the contribution of Bella who doesn't know how to hold her own.

''These prawns are a real delight.'' Comments Bella. "So, Ama, can you tell us what happened during your failed date with our dear Enama?''

The first person to respond to her question is Bindzi Who is undoubtedly the most concerned by this information.

"No need to rush." Replies Bindzi. "We can talk about it later."

In this room, no one wants to know what happened more than he does. After all, it's about his parents and his former best friend. In addition, because of him, Ama found herself in a very dangerous situation.


After a rather quiet dinner, the group heads to the living room where everyone sits down. All eyes are on Ama, who finally feels compelled to speak out.

"When I went to that meeting, my main objective was to find the instructions left by Grandma Émana to lift the seal on your authority and your memories." Ama said calmly. "That was the easy part. The information was in the family vault."
