°°°°
Episode 7
Prince Nuuru 👑
I dived deeper into the water. It's one of the things i love doing and damn, I it relaxing..
I remember when I was seven, I threw the whole Villa into a state of frenzy .
Father, mother and all the servants and guards were looking for me.
Me? I was actually underwater having fun.
This evening I'd so rare, for once I have nothing to do - no office work, no royal duties, so I decided to come take a quick dive out here.
Few minutes later, I felt dives into the water.
Then I heard voices, Tania's and..... Portia's.
I can recognize her voice anytime and anywhere.
It sounds so soft and angelic .
I've heard her sing, once. Her voice's so heavenly.
That day i was going to deliver a personal message from mother to her.
On getting to her room I heard a voice. Though it was in a very high pitch and was very fast, it sounded like that of a star musician.
I had bent to look through the key hole and there she was jumping and singing on Tania's bed.
Tania was beside her, dancing according to the beat of the hip hop song that was being sung.
Tania's a dancer, she just doesn't want people to know that side of her. To her, being a star model is good enough.

"You know me too well" I heard interrupting me from my thoughts.
I felt the water move....then I saw Tania, coming deeper down the water.
She stopped, looking at me and screamed struggling to go up.
I laughed silently.
I'm sure she didn't expect to see me down here.
I'll just go up.
I swam to the top and saw her...them I mean.
She was looking so beautiful, with her hair wet, clinging to her neck side.
My eyes trailed to her b***s, damn.
They were so tempting and full.
Her hazel eyes looked almost invisible from her, but the almond shape's very noticeable.
Wait a sec, hope you don't think I'm talking about Tania?
Of course not. Tania's git a nice body but she's my sister and I can never look at her that way.
"You never look at any girl this way" my subconscious spoke.
I shook my head and dived into the water again before swimming to meet them.
"Nuuru, you scared me!"
"My prince"
I was about responding when I got to know that I've been smiling the whole time.
"Ladies" I said smiling again.
"Having an evening swim?"
"Yes, decided to come cool off for a while"Tania said.
Portia's head was bowed all the while, like she was avoiding eye contact with me.
That's something about her, she's just so different from other ladies who throw themselves at me every time.
"I've been here for few minutes, I'll just get going and leave you ladies to have fun" I said about leaving.
"Come on Nuuru, be a little fun, swim with us"
I turned just in time to see Portia's eyes widen.
"I don't think your friend would feel comfortable with that" I said.
"What do you mean? Portia has no problem with you swimming with us, or do you?" Tania asked facing her.
"Emm...no problem...I have no problem with that"
"You see, it's settled!!"
King Reginald Ohrion 👑
My hands were crossed on my chest as I faced thr window, looking out if the royal Villa.
Norway is a large kingdom which i have ruled since I was crowned king by my father, some fourty five years ago.
When I was crowned, I allowed for a parliament of the people, shifting the structure a little bit away from pure monarchy.
Looking out I see the changes, lots of things have changed since these years....a whole lot of things.
"Dear, you called me"
I turned to see my wife, the Queen, Philia.
Though the few grey strands are getting visible on her hair, I still see her as the most pretty woman I've ever set my eyes on.
The most understanding personality I've ever set my eyes on.
"My Queen" I said walking towards her.
When I reached her I kissed the back of her palm.
"You look beautiful, my ever radiant wife"
She smiled deeply revealing her perfect dentition and diastema.
"You flatter me dear" she said gently.
I smiled and led her to a cushion.
"I called you to discuss something..... something I feel is important"
"I'm all ears"
"In three years time,a new king would be crowned. He has to be someone with the Will and confidence to rule the great people of Norway.
He has to be one with firm decisions and yet a listening ear.
I've seen these qualities and lots more in Nuuru, but one thing keeps bothering me"
"And what may that be dear?"
I let out a deep breath.
"Do you really think we should crown him, considering the circumstances around his....his being?"
I looked at her to see the expression she had, but all I could see was a smile.
"Nuuru is a child godsent. He's my womb opener and the key to our other two children.
We thanked and promised our Stars that we would crown him king when it's time not minding the circumstances around his "being".
Dear, in three years time, I shall stand and watch with pride as you place the crown on his head".
I couldn't help but be more pleased with her after she spoke.
I smiled and held her palms.
"That's why I call you my love,my Queen, the woman after my own heart.
You're the only one I can talk to and feel relived after. Thank you for advising me, once again".
She smiled and covered my palm with hers.
"That's why I'm here, my king".
We remained that way till we heard a knock on my door.
"Come in"
A maid came in with her heads bowed and hands crossed before her.
"My King, My Queen. Dinner is served, yiur highnesses".
"Is there any guest at table?"
"None my king, except Princess Tania's friend"
"Dear, that's must be Portia. Tania must have convinced her to have dinner with us"
"Oh the, we would be down soon".
"Yes, My king"
She bowed again, then left.
I turned to my wife.
"You know I really miss your cookings".
" You know my position as Queen doesn't give me as much time to do so"
"Maybe it doesn't, but i do know one place where your queenship position would allow you to function" i said smirking.
"Where is that?"
I gave the bed a quick glance.....She laughed hitting my shoulders.
"You naughty old king"
°°°°°°°°
Someone tell the King that people are waiting for them at the dinning table o🤭😄
...and what do you think "Circumstances around his being" means?
The prologue should give you a clue..
