dinma walked faster in front.
“done.over here”olive waved,both of them walked in front.
“hmm I will find a way for you to prepare the herbs,nobody should know about it you know” olive said.
“pinky promise”Chidinma uttered,they did the bet sign and both laughed.

“can we walk around before returning to the palace,I really want to see the market around here,it’s dreamy unlike other 14kingdoms”
“sure we still have time”

they walked around the busy market admiring things soon chidinma excused herself to the “pay Porter” a place to deliver money to family and friends.
she dropped the remaining money to the man on charge.

“miss over here. 60,000 to who?”he asked. Chidinma called her house address.
“is this address recognized,have not heard about a place like this”he replied.
“it’s a small village.can you still send the money? it’s my mother and it’s very important”
dinma sollicited.
“you see miss,that type of environment is local not so recognized but I will try after all that’s what I can do to a pretty lady like you”he told her in a flirty voice.
“how many days will it take before the money reach them??
“2days at least”
“okay,I will come back after 2days to ask if it’s deliver.Bye”she said and picked a card before leaving.

“do you trust pay porter?what if it’s fruadry” olive chuckled.
“it’s an organization,I’m sure the money I sent will get to my mother”

Olive pointed to a girl’s billboard across the street.
“waow she’s pretty
“she’s princess of bian kingdom.
“waow but why’s her eyeball fierce in this picture…she’s mean I guess??

“you guessed right. although I met her once at royals,she’s so difficult to serve”.
“Bian kingdom,have been there once with Obim”.
“now you know princess Ify right?
both of them headed to the palace.
……….
light opens in the maids quarter.

“I think the duty post changed,olive come and take a look”dika screamed only to their hearings.

“do we have new maids”
“hmm I think so
“don’t think so,what do you expect,all those obessed girls that desperately wants to get the job of a maid just to see Dre handsome face”Dika said.

“seriously my duty post really changed but the good thing is that am still with olive”dinma said.
“we are not together tonight look you are in the kitchen” olive replied.
“hmm and I hate cooking. I better go”Chidinma said.
“wear your cover up”olive dragged her back dinma tied the white maid scarf and apron then she wore the white glove.
“yes am also in the kitchen”Dika said.chidinma removed her cover up.
“please you and olive should switch,we have something to do together please”.

“what are you doing together?”Dika asked.
“hmm please just switch,it’s really important” olive added
“sure I will switch what are we friends for”
“thank you”.
olive wore dika’s cover up.

“only God knows what’s in between them” Dika thought as both olive and dinma headed to the kitchen.

“the herbs,how many hours will it take you to prepare it”Olive asked.
“45minutes should be enough,it’s a tea herb it doesn’t take much time”dinma replied.she stupidly look up to the prince window in the compound that looks like a castle.

“what’s the dosage?
“a cup in the morning,one at night results should be after 2days depending on his body energy”dinma explained.
“hmm did you learn medicine?
“oh yes,I learnt it accidentally. I was troublesome while growing,my mother always send me to my grandmother each time I disturb…then my punishment was to go around searching for herbs,cooking them and even refining medicines”dinma said.
“waow,I always want to learn medicine but I never had the chance”

“what are you both talking about? they heard a Stern voice from behind.
“madam crystal!!
both of them ran away to the kitchen,common maid servants do not touch royal foods, they help in cleaning instead.

“after 10mins,pass the back door and go behind the garden have set everything for the herbs”olive gave Chidinma sign.dinma responded.she turn to the dishes and washed them carefully.
Opposite her was a maid in a neat check uniform,dinma admired her cooking skills even though those foods were unfamiliar to her.

the head maid turned to the other side,dinma quickly rushed out to where olive told her. Meanwhile olive left her position and took over where Chidinma was before.
………..
“why do I feel happy helping someone I don’t know” Chidinma was happy,she already saw three logs of firewoods,a pot,the herbs was on the neat rock just behind the garden.

“olive you’re really smart,no one will suspect here”she sighed and arranged the firewood she lit the fire soon and placed the wooden pot containing clean water to steam.
after picking the herbs,she rinsed it and covered it in the pot to steam into a green tea. she loitered around as she waited for it to be done.

she got tired standing and then sat on the rock one moment she would open the flower barrier and admire the palace.
“I really don’t know why am helping you,it’s okay if you don’t take it. I know you won’t,cos you really have class…it’s okay maybe am stupid by caring a lot for strangers”.

“it’s almost done right?”chidinma heard an unfamiliar voice,she turned surprised to see Dika.
“hmm its not what..Dika it’s..
“I won’t tell anyone I promise. I promised olive also,we are friends right?”Dika asked.
Chidinma took her wet lips in.
“sorry,I just…..
“fine, insomnia bothers third prince so much but no one has ever taken a bold step,am glad you did. I hope this helps,you should put the medicine inside here”Dika brought out a flask.
“hmm thank you”chidinma smiled and collected the flasks carefully.

“you’re wlc.the flask is mine,I bought it but have never used it anyway”Dika said.
“be fast before the head maid start suspecting your absence”she added and left.
chidinma nodded and put the medicine in the flask. she cleared the place and rushed out.

“now how do I give it to him”
her mind drifted to tochi.

“miss why are you standing there are you not suppose to be in…”
“am sorry” she rushed out.
“our duty is over” olive said.
“okay,let’s go”
the three of them returned to the maids quarter.they sat round dinma bed.

“did you managed to prepare the herbs?
Dika asked.
“yes I did”dinma replied and dropped the flask
“how do we deliver it??
“yes,I think prince tochi might be of help since he likes seeing Chidinma around”Dika said.
“no.i don’t think that will work,Tochi might think otherwise…he might think something is going on between dremma and Chidinma” olive replied.
“true but tochi is still our only hope”.

“hmm I don’t think so.lets find another alternative”dinma said.
“Tochi asked you to be friends with him right, it’s not a big deal if you ask him for this help” Dika said.

“True”…Olive stood up and acted chidinma’s voice.
“good day my prince,hmm have really thought about your request and I…I…I..want to say yes to being your friend,just friend”

“is that difficult??Tochi is really a playful person, he is kind too” Dika said.
“okay let me try” dinma said and left with the flask..

soon she entered the prince empire.
“am I really doing this???

she hide behind the glass war when she sight maids moving in a row. She peeped again,her eyes caught prince dremma.
“my honor”
“my prince”
“your highness”

the maids who were walking in the other direction all bowed. They rise immediately dremma was out of sight.
**********************
“sometimes I loose my mind,why do I always feel her around like she’s really close? whatever am confessing to you this night,I hope you will show up”.
drema turned,Chidinma hide in her hideout.

she came out as dremma left.
“that was so close”.
she approached prince tochi suite and knocked. No reply,I don’t think you’re around.
Chidinma left.
She walked down and came across a delivery door.
“can tochi be inside??? she thought.

“miss excuse me”someone said.
“sorry”she said and moved out of the way
“this is prince Charles suite do you have anything to report??
“ohh nothing”she quickly replied.

“I think I need to give dremma by myself the least he can do is saying he doesn’t want”
Chidinma adjusted her cover all and walked upstairs.

the gold inscription showed drema’s name on the door boldly. She was lucky there wasn’t any guard there yet.
“ohh god save your daughter”.

she knocked.no reply.
she knocked and knocked,no reply.
“how do they open this door hunn? which one will I press, green or red??

hmm…she almost pressed the green.
“hunn I think it’s this one”
“no,I think it’s this one”
“jeezz,it should be green”
“or I should press the two at the same time??

Chidinma almost pressed the two..
until the door opened to her face????
