On the following day. The whole kingdom was in celebration. Celebrating the coming of the heir to the throne. Finally, nothing could make the queen as happy as the news. She knew it. To her Eliza was a woman and not for once did she regret her decision in bringing princess Eliza in the kingdom. She knew her son had no emotion for her but with time she is hoping that everything will go accordingly. Her son will soon realise what a blessing she is to the kingdom. She gave them what they've been longing for so many years in just a few months. From now on she'll be treated as the queen like she was born to be, thought the queen. She couldn't help the happy tears that were running down her face. To her it was as if the ancestros heard her cries...

QUEEN MOTHER POV.
"I'm so happy my child. You have no idea the amount of joy you have given me. I knew it, you are the one true queen." I couldn't stop thanking Eliza. In truth, I couldn't believe it. I am having a grandson. All my enemies will be put to shame and I will carry a tiny human In my hands once again. This is a blessing, truly. I can already imagine tiny little feet runing around the castle. I won't mind a mischievous little one in the house.
"Thank you queen mother. At least someone is happy about this child."
"What do you mean Eliza. Everyone is happy." I have no idea what she is talking about. The moment my son told me The news I called for an announcement to be made. Cheering could be heard from all around. Maids, pupils, elders... I can't say the same for Ntombi. She's been in her room ever since, with her maid going about serving her the whole day.
"Your son. He isn't rejoicing ma. Why is he doing this to me. I need his devoted attention after all I'm the one carrying this baby. Don't I deserve just a little bit of it." How can I put this to her. Isn't it obvious my son is still love struck to his first wife.
"Hush Eliza. He's probably in shock and doesn't know what to do with the news. He's been waiting for all these years to have a son and now that you are giving it to him, he doesn't believe it."
"I really hope so." She said with a sad face holding her yet to grow tummy.
"Now let's stop with the sulking and continue celebrating." I ordered even more food to be brought to us. I want her to eat so that my grandson can come out a healty baby ready to run the world.

PRECIOUS POV.
My brother banged on the only gates I've dreaded for years. We've left his family to come see my daughter... actually he want to see Ntombi.
We were summoned inside to meet the king, Prince Muzi, standing tall before us.
"Woman, I thought my wife made it clear to you that she doesn't want to ever see you again." The king skipped the greetings clearly showing my un-welcomed status.
"Please my king. Allow me to enter your kingdom, she was just showing me the way. My name is John. The uncle to the queen. I've come to see her." My brother said. King Muzi looked skeptical. He looked between me and my brother.
"Does she know you?" His voice bellowed and echoed all around us. Royals seem to have some sort of authoritative command in their voice.
"I hope so." He answered the king.
He was led inside, whilst I stayed outside feeling the coldness of the lonely day and a deep feeling of sadness. How is my daughter faring... I wondered.
