It was a cold day in Ocholuje. Queen Abeyi was in the outskirts of the kingdom. Making her clay pots and singing her well known song. A royal guard stood by her. Nothing could happen to the Queen because she was pregnant with a very important baby.
That baby was the heir to the throne.
You see, for years the king had been looking for a son.He had married a wife already. But for some reason she could not give birth to a son. She had grown weak and tired so the king decided to marry another wife.
Queen Abeyi.
Suddenly, an arrow shot out of nowhere stabbing the guard in the chest. He dropped to the ground. Queen Abeyi looked around in fright before getting up to run. Her 8 month old pregnancy stopped her from being quick .
She was overpowered by a strong force that took her by the neck and squeezed the life out of her.
........
The news of Queen Abeyi's death had travelled far.
To say that the King was furious was an understatement. He shot up from his throne.
"WHAT?!!"
He gathered all the palace guards led by his brother, General Ape.
"Take me to the scene of this horrendous crime. NOW!"
At the scene of the crime, Queen Abeyi's lifeless body spawled on the ground inches to the dead guard was stabbed with an arrow in the stomach.
The King fell to his knees and held her lifeless body.
"Abeyi...Abeyi... NO!"
The General bent down and examined the arrow.
"This arrow is from Abo,"he said coldly.
The King's head shot up from weeping. Other than being the mother of an heir, Abeyi was his favourite. He would listen to her sing her special song to hours. He would always stare at her clay pots with awe.
He absolutely admired her.
"A-Abo?"
Abo was a neighboring kingdom in their land. It had always been a struggle with them. They had decided to completely remove themselves from them.
"They must be planning war on us," Ape said as he stood up.
"Then we must retaliate against them,"the King said angrily"no one gets away with hurting my sweet love."
"You heard him,"the general said to his right hand, Boloum"Get the entire army ready. Tomorrow night. We attack our enemies."
"Yes, General.,"Boloum replied.
