WINTERS SECRET (RISE OF OYO EMPIRE)

OYOLAND

3rd September.

"All done princess, we are ready to go" Lina walked into my room again.

"I'll meet you there okay, I'll be arriving on the day of the wedding" Winter said as he placed a soft kiss on my head.

"Thanks love" I said as I embraced him in a tight hug.

"I'll see you soon princess" Winter said as I walked out of the room, heading to the car.

"I can't wait to come back here again, it's so peaceful" grace said as we continued walking towards the car.

"Yeah, no drama whatsoever" and I think grace also has a lot of free time here, there is little to nothing for her to do since I do take care of myself in my own.

"Shall we?" Jose said as we stepped into the car.

"Yes sir" grace answerd as she shut the door behind her, and the car began to move.

"Finally, Winter number 10, you know he is grandma Josephine's husband. Such a lovely and kind man but then Again, nothing groundbreaking happened during his time, although he built the company to what it is today. He built different branch of the Winters enterprises all around the world and till today they are still trying to expand further to different sections of the world, I think it was when they were expanding to ofuland you met your now husband" my mind was still remincing on what alexandra told me yesterday.

"Thanks Jose, we would see you when we get back" grace waved as we got down from the car.

"Take care" it has been a journey with him, he has been driving me and winter all the way from ofuland after our wedding, to Tamaje where we did our honeymoon and now Okene, he's so hardworking and patient, unlike my personal driver in ofuland.

"This way" one of the staff members began to direct us directly to our plane.

I hope everything turns out okay for Lina, and by the way I'm supposed to meet up with gran gran at the airport but I think we would be meeting at the palace, we seem to be very early.

"By the way princess I forgot to tell you, although no one believes it the winter family has a curse. It is believed that the 14th Winter would be a girl and she would ruin the world again, just like Winter number one did."

"Oh that means my grandchildren would do that? If my husband is Winter number 12 then it should be right?" I asked Alexandra.

" Well it may be, but we never know. And remember I told you Winter number 2 had 2 children one died at birth so your husband might actually be number 13" child's went down my spine as she completed her sentence, well it's just a myth right? But why do I feel so uneasy?

"Don't worry princess, you have nothing to worry about, according to the myth she would be born with silver coloured hair" what was Alexandra trying to do? Scare me?

"Well no wonder people didn't believe in it, it sounds far-fetched" I said as I got up to leave.

"We would talk more when I get back" I said as I began to leave the library through the secret door, besides me and my husband weren't planning on having a child anytime soon so the prophecy would wist.

"Huh" I turned as my whole body was shaken from fear.

"We are here ma, our plane has landed" grace said as she tapped my shoulder lightly.

"Oyoland? How long have I been hallucinating for? What? 3 hours?"

"Yes ma, let's get down" grace lead the way as I followed.

"Oops sorry your majesty" she ran back to me as she stood behind me, I almost forgot no one was to walk Infront of royalty except the royal guards, and normally no one cares when I'm not in ofuland, but here in oyoland they take their rules more strict than we ever do, in oyoland this would attract severe punishment.

"After you princess" she said as I began to walk in front of her, gran gran was coming with Layla my fashion designer, it was also a taboo to be seen like a normal citizen.

Beeing a princess is more hectic than most people think, for every advantage there are 5 disadvantages.

"John, we've missed you dearly" grace said as we entered the car heading straight to the palace.

"Nice to see you princess" he said as we began our journey there.

"Why did Alexandra mention that to me? Now I'm stuck thinking about how I'm going to give birth to a daughter that would take over the world, I'm sure it was a harmless belief right? Besides what backing did she have? Or any of them for that matter" i began to think to myself as we drove.

I am sure she was just trying to be helpful to me, besides something that was said over 300 years ago is making me worried? I think I was spending too much time in that library then.

"Okay bye" grace hunged up the call she was in as she turned towards me.

"Gran gran and Layla are already at the palace" grace informed me.

"Well I guess it's off to talking to mom then" just thinking about it was making me nervous, who knows what way she is planning on turning this event on us, but all in all the Queen of oyoland is in trouble if this news make it to the media.

"Thanks" I said to John as we stepped down from the car, the ride was faster than I remembered it to be.

"Diana"

"Gran gran" I ran to hug her as she was outside waiting for me, she was a bit over seventy and still very active.

"I've missed you my princess" she held my hand tightly as we began to walk into the palace of oyoland.

"Good morning princess" Lina greeted as I walked away with gran gran.

"Morning" I was already far from her, but I hope she heard me.

"Your majesty, welcome your majesty" the maids greeted as me and gran gran continued to walk to my guest room.

"This place looks designed and all, it doesn't look like they are planning to call of the wedding, I mean if they were they would at least stop with the decorations and all right?" I laid my concern to gran gran.

"I'm sure they are trying to not raise suspicion of anyone, it's better that way. We should rest up we have a meeting to attend later today" gran gran said as we entered my room, finally!
