OnuIdu(The Lion King):Period of the British

chapter3

Love, a strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties. Like maternal love for a child which I experienced for a short time due to the death of my mother and attraction based on sexual desire but of course concubines. But this feelings in my heart is unusual, it's pure affection and tenderness.

Furqan ;

It took three days ride to get to aghaba, throughout the ride I constantly stopped the Cavalry and check the girl. In order not to appear caring or weak I put out the command of making sure she's alive and wanted her be added to the efuofe servants.

After the long ride home we arrived during sunset. I retired to my chamber exhausted from the long trip and war. I lay down on my bed but couldn't sleep. Each time I close my eyes I see this strange girl's face. I see her smiling cheerfully, the sound of her laughter echoes in my ears.

I sat down on the couch and slowly stroked my beards. "Who's this girl? Why am feeling like this for her? Why seeing her smile when I close my eyes? Or hearing her laugh which I've never heard before? Why am attracted to her beautiful face? Oh Allah. I murmured and stood up. I need to see her right away.

I walked out of my chamber and asked the guards at the passage where they kept the captured girl.

"Your majesty, General Azeez had her chained up in the torture room. They replied. I became furious.

"Why???! I asked in a loud tone. And went down the staircase leading to the torture room in the dungeon. I got there and heard someone wiping. My heart tightened knowing it's the strange girl. I quickly opened the door and saw her chained to the table. She closed her eyes out of fear. I walked over to the table.

"Open your eyes I said with a deep voice. She shiver out of fear and began crying. I felt weak seeing her tears. I am the Iduh king! I dont fancy anyone!! Or care about anyone! But why this girl affecting me so much? Who is she? Why feeling bad cause of her tears!?

"Pl-please dont kill me. She stammered and begged.

She look so terrified and constantly begged me not to kill her. I uncontrollably wiped off her tears, her tears made my heart bleed. I feel pain for the first time, I've never felt like this for anyone. I've conquered many states and over 100 of states are under my control. I'm known to be OnuAmoonus. (King of Kings) women flocked over me like swans. I spend every night with different gorgeous women who are so fortunate to be touched by me. This girl.. there's something about her.

She slowly opened her eyes. Her cool golden big eyes melted my heart. They sparks so bright in the candle lights. I got lost in her beauty spell. I took a closer look at her face now that she's awake. "Subhan Allah. I quietly said while resting my hands on the table and stared at her deeply.

She look so frightened, my piercing gaze must have frightened her. I can't take my eyes off her beauty.

"Are-are you going to kill me? She asked quietly looking at me. Ofcos I'd be damned to even think of killing such a beauty. That question got me more angry.

"No. I replied angrily.

"Bu-but what am I doing here? She asked again so confused. You're going to be my queen. My beautiful queen. What is wrong with me? I snapped out of my imagination.

"You've been captured! I shouted angry at my frustration. She's affecting me in ways I do not understand. I've promised myself never to fall in love or settle with a woman. Love is for weak men. I am a warrior, a strong king! Love would have weighed me down long time ago. It's a distraction. My parents were cruelly murdered by my uncle who yearns for the taste of the throne. My nanny escaped the palace with me when I was 12 years of age. I didn't understand what was happening, but slowly my life changed. I got used to not seeing my parents anymore or my sister Laruba.

"What have I done wrong?? I was brought back to reality when I heard her voice. I smirk and lustfully stared at her. I began rubbing my hands on her soft smooth cheeks enjoying the touch. She tried to move her face from my touch but couldn't cos of the chains.

"Stop touching me!!!! She yelled and I was brought back from her beauty spell. I stopped and stared at her amused.

No woman have ever raised her voice at me. Not even one, not even Ma sami my Nanny and second mother.

I frowned my brows and chucked. Her attitude draws me closer and closer to her. She makes me curious. I'm eager to know her more, she amaze me. I, king of Kings the iduh third of agahba kingdom! But I dont think that shakes her in anyway. She's so confident, fearless with her words.

"Do you know who I am? I smiled still surprised at her actions. She nodded a no.

"I thought so too. I said feeling relaxed. I am king furqan Omar obaje. Iduh the third of agahba kingdom.

She look so shocked and fresh tears started pouring from her eyes. I moved over to the torture tools staring at the tools and wondering why Azeez didn't get rid of them as Ive instructed. I do not like the idea of torturing. Instant death is better than wasting time on stupid peasants.

I got lost in her thoughts again, shes something else I thought while fetching more wood into the fire . I walked over to her and stood where she placed her head staring at her from above.

"Whats your name?

"Almas AgoOfe Ladan she said quietly. I moved over and stared at her in shock.

She's the princess of Asir kingdom. I've heard about her beauty but never have I encountered her.

I smirked and lower my face to hers.

"Princess Almas of Asir kingdom. I teasily said smirking. She turned her face to the other side anger filled her eyes. I smirked evilly. I've always craved for her. Despite the fact I've never seen her but her beauty is the talk of many kingdoms. Ohh how fortunate I am! The whole beauty queen in my castle. I close my eyes and murmured Alhamdulillah in a thick smooth tone.

"Princess, talk to me I said still wanting to hear her melodious voice again and again. She kept quiet. Her silent is killing me. I pull her face to me and she was wiping and look too paled and weak.

"Oh God. How foolish of me!? I totally forgot she's chained and in pain. I quickly removed her tiny legs from the chains. Blood flowed from her skin, she got wounded by the hard metal. I quickly removed her hands and she briskly stood but lost balance and fell on my body.

I carried her to my chamber in bride style. She was unconscious. I quickly went and called the achogwu (doctor) from her chamber. She examined her pulse.

"Shes too pale and weak. She needs to rest and eat. Mabe said while examining Almas further.

"Is she going to be fine I asked worried.

"Yes she nodded. Who's she Gabaidu? Mabe asked

"I stared at her from the corner of my eyes. 'Your work here is done. Leave. I commanded. She nodded, knelt and left my chamber.

I ran my hands through my hair looking so worried. What have I done? What if something happened to her? I won't be able to forgive myself! I sighed and sat at the edge of my king size bed closer to her. I held her tiny hands in mine, she look so innocent, peaceful and more beautiful while sleeping. Subhan Allah. Allah took time creating you." I said stroking her long curly black hair gently.

I got up and sat on the couch in order not to wake or bother her.
