Betrayal (2)
Earlier on, the supreme Gods, king Olha had requested the presence of his brother to discuss certain issues concerning the kingdom..and while he waits, his wife Roxa walked into the room, thus, the discussion concerning the throne was birthed...
During the process of discussing with Roxa, the other party was already at the door and was about to knock when he heard the words heir to the throne...
*Taken aback*
"Huh"
"I can't go in now...let me eavesdrop on the discussion, perhaps I might have a clue on the king's intention concerning the throne.."
On hearing of the king's intention of making him his heir, a sudden interest in the throne took over his mind...an interest which was never there initially...
"Wow!!! So I'll be king after all."
Almost on the verge of an outburst but he quickly kept his cool to avoid being noticed...
"Oh!!!"
*Smiling sheepishly*
"I can only at this moment imagine the great level of joy that will flow through the heart of my lady when she hears of the king's intention."
"Ooo!I can finally make her dreams come through.."
*Sigh*prince Oha felt a mountain drop off his head...
"Finally, the persistent nagging of Oma will come to an end.."
The joy of prince Oha being the next supreme Gods never lasted for long...same words that gave him all glittering joy struck him with doubts...
"Wait! What?!"
"You can't be serious with what you just uttered, can you?"
He was on the verge of crying on hearing the words of king Olha...
"Only if there isn't a hope of an heir can I be approved?"
"This is ridiculous, so I'm only good as the second option?"
*Sigh*
"Oma was right, however, this can't be my case..., I must see what can be done to make me king."
His countenance was changed on the thought of him being the last resort and this made him wish an heir was never birthed by his brother...
Treading cautiously with an optimistic mindset...with time, prince Oha found himself desirous of his brother's throne, something he had never thought was possible...
Delay was truly as dangerous as mistakes, for as time went by, the very hope that dwells in the heart of king Olha began to twindle, flickering up and down like a lamp blown by the wind...
Thus, the delay due to an heir gradually begot pride in the heart of prince Oha...
His optimism grew so high that he thought himself to be king even when he's yet to be crowned...
His wife Oma never made matters easier, oftentimes will she find occasion to humiliate and insult the king and when matters of such were reported to her husband, prince Oha, all he'll do is 'I will talk to her'...
It was not easy also on the supreme Gods, king Olha..is trouble concerning the kingdom are always seen in his eyes...
"Roxa, see what Olha my brother had become..., is he different in any way to a rebel?"
Every night, the agony of not having a true heir plagues him, and his hope of having prince Oha king after him was threatened by the other party's sudden change in action... it's as if king Olha always beheld a stranger whenever his kin performs his duty...
*Sigh*
"Oma, be patient, you'll soon become the Queen you so much desire.."
"Huh"
*Shocked by her husband's words..*
Never in her weirdest dream, would she believe does words could ever proceed from her husband's lips...
"Wait! Did you just speak to me in an assuring tone or my head is misinterpreting words?"
To make it clearer, prince Oha resounded the same words...
"Oma, I said you should be patient cus your desire of becoming Queen is about to come true."
"Your head!"
"You can't be serious throwing jokes of that nature anyhow.."
"Tell me, why should I even trust your words in the first place? Or are you not the same individual who scolds me concerning this same issue whenever I bring it up?"
"Please stop acting funny, it doesn't suit you."
*Smiling sheepishly*
"O come off it Oma.."
Prince Oha tried to make her see the seriousness of his words...
"Not quite long, I overheard the king talking about the throne..."
[Prince Oha narrated everything that he heard when he eavesdrops on the king's conversation with Roxa]
This news brought an excited frenzy on Oma ...
"Wow!!!"
"No news has never been better than this one.."
"So you mean I...., wait! what?"
Oma hasn't been paying attention to what prince Oha was saying...she was too excited...
"Let me get what you just said, you mean you can only be king if no heir comes forth?"
*Sounding as a broken widow*
"Hmmm"
"Now you can see what I have been telling you..."
"Not that bad, it's still a win-win anyway...I know that wretched wife of the king can't carry an heir not to talk of given birth to one...be strong my love, be strong...I will advise you carry yourself as a ruler henceforth and not this sadistic second option aura you weird around like a crown(being sarcastic of prince Oha)."
"Hmmm."
Prince Oha was speechless, how he wished his wife could understand him...
"Hope the king is not aware of you eavesdropping on his conversation?" Oma asked as if having a concerned motive for prince Oha other than her greed for power...
"No, he isn't," replying almost inaudibly...
"That's good.. henceforth be strong, be the king before you're pronounced one...it can only get better."
.....
After several years of prince Oha optimistic life, his dream of becoming the supreme Gods was dashed by the arrival of an heir...; Prince Zenos...
Prince Zenos was a child who brought hope and fulfillment of the promise to his parents and the universe at large...
His parents had waited for his arrival for 'Ten million years'...
During the age of 'eleven million years of king Olha, his hopelessness was made hopeful(the Queen became pregnant after Ten million years of marriage).
