The Queen of Abanjiala kingdom

"What do you mean I must marry the prince? I am here for youth service not searching for my husband service! Do you even realize that I am miles and miles away from home? How will I tell my parents, Fatima?"

"But what can you do? He chose you to be his bride, so you can't back out. Don't forget that this is the King in waiting of a kingdom that has seven villages."

"And so? I'm from non of those villages. And worst of all, he's an Osu. Dedicated to idols. One thing my parents have always emphasized on is that I should never even think of marrying an unbeliever."

"He is not an Osu, he was not dedicated to idols but to the virtues of the land and their gods. And as far as marrying an unbeliever, that one be your own wahala. For all I know, it's best you go ahead with it, before they chop off a head."

Amara, along with four other youth corpers were sent to Abanjiala kingdom for youth service.

During their stay, it was told that the king would be holding an event for his son. It was an event in which the maidens of the kingdom were to dance in order for the prince to choose a bride.

Amara came only to watch but while joking with her friends, was chosen in front of the entire village, as his soon to be wife.

Knowing the place is a kingdom of juju and witchcraft, she does everything she can to leave, but none works out for her.

But contrary to her will, it seems God has something else planned, something in line with her marriage to the 'osu' prince as she calls him.
