Chapter 42: Chapter forty one
Awtch .....it's too painful .Take your time with your treatment ,Prince Ahan screamed in pain as the herbalist applied the herbs on his bruises .
The marks of his bruises caused by his father's whips had drawn at his back horizontally in about ten strands .
As he cried out in pain ,he cursed Wales inwardly.
This treatment is good for today ,it will take sometime before the wounds finally heal because they are deep ,the herbalist announced .
I will leave this here ,apply it on his wounds every thirty minutes so that the blood stops seeping from his wounds completely .
I will take my leave my princess and my queen .
Princess Camila sat by her husband and laid his head on her so that he could get comfort .She cursed inwardly looking at the current state of her husband .
Son ,queen Ryza cried out holding his hands for a little while because it hurt him a lot .
It shall be fine ,very soon ,you will be back on your feet again ,she said shedding tears .
Mum ,don't worry ,I will be fine .These tears are precious to me .I don't want you to cry all day long for my sake .
Once I get back on my feet ,I will make sure to exact my revenge .
You shouldn't think about this now love ,Camila said .Think about yourself first and your condition and leave Wales alone for now.
Son ,your wife is right .You should focus mainly about your healing and nothing else .
**PRINCE WALES' CHAMBER **
Enough ,you can all leave now ,I will be fine .
Wales , how are you doing ? ,his worried - sick wife sat by his side in tears seeing the condition of her husband .
Don't you dare come close to me ,Rhian .All this is your fault and no one else 's .
Are you happy seeing me bedridden ? ,huh ...!
Wales ,calm down ,everything will be fine ,she said with a reassuring voice but Wales used the last quota of strength he had gathered to push her to the floor such that she felt the pain and wept bitterly .
Enough son ,why are you treating her like this ? ,queen Marga interrupted .
For heaven's sake ,she's your wife not an object .
Treat her with some respect ,queen Marga said helping Rhian to get up from the floor .
'She burst out into tears and embraced queen Marga tightly ' .
Son ,I want you to apologize to your wife now .This is not done anywhere and I won't accept such disrespect towards your wife .
Mama ,you can ask me of anything else but don't ask me to apologize to the woman for whom I've become bedridden .
If she kept her mouth shut about our personal life then ,I would have been spared of this pain that I'm going through now .
I did nothing mother in-law ,Rhian said hiding behind her for protection .
Oh really ,you did nothing huh ..!
'He tried getting up but was pinned down onto his bed because of the sharp pain at his back.'
Enough Wales ,don't trouble your wife anymore ,Queen Marga said .
Mama ,stop taking her side .She told my brothers that ,I don't want to go to bed with her and they mocked me saying that I couldn't satisfy my wife in bed .
That was how the fight started . Had she kept her mouth shut to our personal problems then ,I would have been spared of this pain .
Is that true Rhian ?
Mother in-law ,I said nothing to his brothers ,I promise you .
Oh really ,well-done ,Princess saint .Had I been well, then I would have clapped my hands for you because you are a good actress ,he teased .
If you said nothing ,then how did they find out ?
Did they suddenly teleport themselves into our room to listen to our conversation ?
I said I told them nothing ,the only one who knew about this was Bernice because I told her about it ,Rhian confessed .
What did you expect me to do ? ,when I came and saw you in bed with your mistress without regarding me ,I needed a shoulder to cry on .
Who better than my cousin could I have cried on ?
Mother in-law wasn't available at that moment and that's why I rushed to my cousin .
She's family , 'home sweet home ' .
But Bernice is Essien's wife and she told him about it .That's why Essien brought up this issue first and then ,I became a laughing stock in front of my brothers .
God knows how you have sold me to my cousin and your cousin to her husband ,Wales said on top of his voice .
But how was I supposed to know that Bernice would do such a thing ?
Enough ,both of you .I 've had enough of your arguments.
Can't you give respect to my presence a bit ?
Rhian ,Bernice might be your cousin but before becoming a cousin ,she was a wife .
The more you keep informing her of what goes on in your marital life ,the more she also sells you to her husband .
Mother in-law ,I'm so sorry ,I will not repeat this mistake again ,she pleads .
It's okay dear ,there's no need to sob about this ,she rested her head on her shoulders .
And you Wales ,if you had given her the right as your wife ,then she wouldn't have complained .
She's your wife and you should go intimate with her when she wants to .
Mama ,is it my fault ?
She comes at the wrong moments and that too ,blabbing about her father being the greatest ally of our kingdom .
Besides ,I have told her severally to stay away and not come close because each time I set my eyes on her ,I remember how she manipulated you all to be my wife .
Son ,are you listening to yourself at all ?
Which ever way you both got married ,that doesn't matter .
She's now your wife and you need to treat her as such .
I wonder why you have sent her to another chamber when she's your only wife .
What if you had two ,three ,four or five wives ,what would you have done ?
Hey ,are you listening to me at all ?
'She draws closer and sees that Wales has already fallen asleep .'
Don't worry Rhian ,I won't stop till he treats you as his wife .
What would I have done without you ,mother in-law ? ,she said hugging her .
'Alright then ,I would leave now .Don't forget to apply the herbs on his wounds ....'
