"kedu ebe ono" "where is she?" Ugogbe barged into princess Ego's hut accompanied by princess Anayo and Nwanamma.
Nwanamma is Prince Afere's wife. Both she and princess Anayo were heavily pregnant.
Ego was getting dressed with the help of her maids; ugomu and uchayi. They were at the final touching. Her breast where pushed up in a tightly fitted yellow wrapper but it was not revealing too much. The wrapper on her waist where almost knee sized. Her maids made a nice sketch on her body using Uli; which enhances her looks. Her make up too where perfect. She was just admiring herself in the mirror before they walked in.
"Ndewo nu ndi be eze" uchayi and ugomi echoed in greeting to them
"kedu nu" ugogbe replied.
"You are so beautiful. look at you" Princess Anayo praised Ego.
"kili godu nu" "look at you" Nwanamma said too.
They all kept complimenting on her looks.
"I hope I'm safe" Ego asked
"we were all wondering why you aren't outside already. you are late" ugogbe replied "but atleast it worth it" She winked at Ego.
Uchayi and ugomu walked out to give them some privacy as soon as their subject of discussion changed.
They all spoke about how famous Ego is.
"Honestly I didn't know you were this famous until I left the palace" Anayo said, they all concurred.
"Each time I told someone I am from Okwa Kingdom, the next thing I will hear is. Are you related to Princess Ego" Ugogbe said
"I am telling you. Everybody Ego Ego".
They laughed as they discussed.
Ego's creativity and talent has given her such recognition and uniqueness. The first ever princess with hand work and the best dress maker of her time. Royalties come from far and near to buy her hand made fabrics.
She has been dubbed the most special princess of all time.
Many men has come for her hand in marriage, including Royalties and dignitaries.
But for some reasons best known to Ego, she refused them all. All she wanted was her career, which was unusual for women of that time.
Prince Ifedi arrived and told them that the ceremony is about to start and that they all need to assemble at the king's Obi.
"Ego are you not coming with us" Anaya asked.
"what is your problem this girl, you need to join us at the Obi don't your understand" Prince Ifedi vexed.
"Please allow me biko. I will join you people later I am busy now" Ego snapped
"busy with what Ego, eh Ego with what" Prince Ikedi said irritatedly. Anayo sensed his mood and held him by his hand.
"Oya Ife let's go. leave her. She will come" She told him and then turned to Ego.
"Don't make us wait for you"
"I have heard you"
She said looking away. As soon as they all were out of her hut. She gave a loud hiss and muttered.
"rubbish".
Then her maids entered back into her hurt.
"Are you ready to leave?" Uchayi asked Ego.
"You and you. Oh please nobody can rush" Ego snapped.
Ego wanted to make a grand entrance and nobody is going to stop her. She want to enter the ceremony when everyone is already settled, so all eyes will be on her.
Her only favourite part in any occasion is when she gets attention.
After awhile she started feeling her bowels full, making her uncomfortable. She needed to urinate.
Uchayi and Ego sensed her discomfort gestures.
"Are you ok? odikwa na mma" Ugomu asked
"kedu ife ilolu" "what do you think" Ego snapped.
"dont tell me its poop" Uchayi asked hoping she said no.
"ofcourse not. I want to pee" Ego replied throwing a superstitious stare.
"Let's go to the back of the barn is closer atleast nobody will see your dress" Ugomu suggested.
"Odi nma" "yea" Uchayi concurred.
"Fine" Ego accepted then walks off followed by her maids.
