Oh, I see that is why the King is here. I am highly honoured, he said. So now that you remember, what have you come up with, Aigbon? the King said. To tell you the truth, I only listened to the queen because

Aigbon was quiet for a moment a he looked at them from one to another. I m not sure I remember, he said mischievously. But we were here last week, the queen who had quickly developed a dislike for Aigbon

And the truth is, it doesn't matter who brings the kola, weather Aigbon or the visitor, he roared in laughter. True the King had heard of it many times and had laughed at the awkwardness of it all. His

Edimo, do you really think you will want Aigbon as your father-in-law? you must consider beyond his daughter's beauty she said. The Prince laughed. It is not him I want to marry, it's his daughter. Whatever

Aigbon dropped, you want to ask for my beautiful daughter's hand in marriage? he asked and the prince nodded Yes. Well, I am very happy that you mentioned that she is beautiful. But please, you will give

Aigbon's eyes flickered with annoyance. Wait where? must you be hearing what I m discussing with the royal family? please leave, for now, wait somewhere else and return later. He said. Okie got up and

Her beauty is like the sun that cannot be hidden, he said boastfully. My son here is interested in your daughter, the queen said. I know, Aigbon said, I saw the way he was looking at her the day we came
