You have to see my dad cos it is very important now" she said" Okay" I replied I followed her to the living room where her dad is.I prostrated to him while Ife sat with her dad on the couch" You are welcome my son. Sorry I couldn't welcome you yesterday because of the rain" he apologized" No problem sir" I replied" Anyway Ifeademi told me you guys love each other very much and that you have agreed to get married to her" he saidI take a glance at Ifeade who was smiling" Yes I have agreed to get married to her af...."The king cut in" You guys will get married in the next two days" I was taken back by the thought of getting married in the next two days to Ife. My brain shutter for a moment and my eyes are took in more light than I expected every part of me goes pause while my thoughts catch up." Hey " Ife tapped me calling me back from my world of shockThe king went inside his room walking gracefully while the Ife and I followed walking to our different places in the palace.I went into my room disturb in my mindThe room was well arranged and neat. It is a small room with a king sized bed.That isn't my thoughts right cos I wonder why my opinion didn't matter at all concerning this marriage issueSomeone knock the door to my room so I went to open it.The maiden came inside bowing to me"I will want you to place your order sir" she said bowing to me" Food is that the next for me although am famished right now but food is not my present concern right now."" I want to take a rest right now so I prefer you come back" I saidThe maid was still standing but now smiling" You have to join the royal family for dinner 30mins from now. The house policy will be delivered unto you by another maid" she said and bow. She made a way for the door..Yesterday when I arrived I was just led to my room and food was brought to my room " What the fuck!" I hit my hands on the stool angrily" House policy jeez am going crazy" I run a hand through my hair confused on what to doI took my phone and dial my brother number. He picked it up" Hello bro what sup" he said from the other end" Am not fine can you believe ifeade tricked me to this place so I can get married to her in the next two days" I said" I knew it! " He shouted " I told you my mind is not at peace with this journey now you see. You had better come back to the city." He said" I don't know the way back" I told him" You can use Google maps to trace your way back hurry" he saidI reasoned with his idea " But am afraid because her father is a king they might kill me if I tries to run" I said" Had it been you are as strong as me to run away will have been easier" he said" I will find a way out please do not tell mum. She might be worried, you know her condition" I said " Okay bro love you" he hung up the call
