  A few months later after the Prince’s supposed death, the king visited doctor Kirimi. He did not visit to threaten him this time but to ask for some help. Doctor Kirimi gave him the news that Peninah the village girl was pregnant of his son. This was the best news the king had heard from his son’s demise. Without waste of any time, he had to find this girl. He knew that she was carrying the only heir to the throne. This time, the customs did matter no more so to speak. Here was a chance for him to be father and grandfather again. He could not just let it slip away. His son’s demise got him back the missing shreds of humanity. He journeyed to the village to see Makubu and talk about it. Doctor Kirimi knew that their plan had just worked perfectly. Gatamu too could not believe that his father was going for the village girl he hated so much. On arrival at the township, the king talked to Makubu about the fact. He explained to him how he was stupid and blamed himself for

  The King also knew that the Prince could not do anything to keep him away from Peninah. He believed that his son was dead. He too had the death syndrome and forgot that if it was faked, he could still see Peninah. I guess the parent child bond is too strong for anything. All he thought of was losing a son. The news that the Prince had died spread everywhere from the city to the village. He was mourned and as usual, his remains where laid to rest. It was one big blow to the people of the Warume dynasty. They had just lost a potential king. At the village, Makubu and Rebecca could not comprehend what they had just heard. Although Peninah knew that the Prince was not dead, she was not to share even with her parents. This one secret had to remain between the three of them only. In disbelieve, they went to see the Oracle for answers. They could not fathom how the gods had let the Prince and savior die. On arrival at his shrine, they met him in dismay as well. Alth

  At Ruaki township, the drought was very severe but the elders were convinced that it was about to end. This was after they decided not to punish Peninah. For the Oracle, he was just praying that the gods do something about the drought. If it persisted for long after, the elders could begin to suspect being lied to. King Matumu could not risk anything coming between his son and Silviah anymore. He decided to marry the two. They both discussed it with Mamiti and came to an agreement. Consequently, there was no need to waste any more time. The wedding was fixed and the plans were set on track. Gatamu and Peninah continued to meet without a glitch for quite some time. They got too confident that Silviah and the king could not suspect anything. They began meeting more frequently. The excuse was perfect though. The doctor had to say that the Prince just needed more check-ups. They forgot one thing though. Once bitten, twice shy. King Matumu was not at will to take

  At Ruaki village, the elders learnt of Peninah’s sneaking out at night to go see the Prince. They became determined to punish her for it. During the first time she was in relationship with Gatamu, it was not so severe. There was a chance of her forgiveness. After they discovered of her persistence in seeing the prince against their will, they surely meant to pass judgement on her. Makubu knew that to be no good news. He went to see the Oracle and told him about it. He needed the oracle’s help to save his daughter. They both had to do something fast to save her. “Good day holy one,” Makubu greeted. “Good day too Makubu; to what do I owe your visit this day?” “I certainly have a problem that needs your intervention and possibly prayers.” “What sort of problem is this that worries your soul to such an extent that I can tell from the look on your face?” “The elders have found out about my daughter seeing the Prince again and they decide to

  Peninah later came to open up to the Prince and told him of the news that she was with a child. The Prince was so happy, saw this as an opportunity, and guarantee for them to be together forever as it was his dream and hers too. He could not keep this just to himself. He shared it with Kirimi. Kirimi was so proud too and encouraged him to fight on for this girl. Silviah could not hold on any longer. She could no longer sit back and wait for the Prince to come through. For the time they had stayed together with him, she had noticed that sometimes he could hold on to something without letting go. She decided to have some people trail him whenever he went and find out if they are still seeing each other with Peninah. It was the only thing Silviah could do because she could not risk stepping foot to the village to warn Peninah to keep her hands off the Prince. Indeed, her guess was not wrong after all. The spies told her of the news that Peninah and the Prince were still
