THE GREAT WARRIOR 18

"Mother, is anything the matter?" asked Oyolima and her mother made her to understand that the leader of Ubiam had the right to do what he did because of the war happening between Getu and Mozo kingdom. If Mozo kingdom had not attacked Getu who was the leader of Ubiam to open his mouth to insult her husband. The wife of the king of Getu who was so heartbroken also talked about her husband and begged the gods to spare him, unknown to her that the king of Getu was already dead and there was nothing anyone could do to save him from the grip of death. The Queen of Getu called her two daughters together and began to advise them. She told them how she met her husband and how she equally met with the leader of Ubiam.

The story had it that the Queen of Getu before she became a Queen or even met with her husband had gone to Ubiam to serve in the palace of the king of Ubiam. Then Ubiam was not as small as it was in the time of Onowu. When she came to the palace she was told that she needed to sit with the Prince of Ubiam, (That was the Onuwu) To have him interview her first before she would be selected as one of the servants in the palace. When Oyolima asked her mother why she went to Ubiam of all places in search of work and the mother told her that before she came to work for the king of Ubiam she had first gone to palace of Getu and while she was there she fell in love with the Prince of Getu and the prince engaged her. She said the king of Getu at that time found out what had happened and swearing that his son would not be seen marrying a maid sacked her and warned her never to return to the palace again. That was how she left the palace of Getu and decided that she needed to be far away from the prince of Getu and that was how she found her way to the kingdom of Ubiam and decided to stay there and when it was her turn for the Prince of Ubiam to interview her he began to lust over her and that was how the Prince began to make advances at her. She had refused him access to her body and that was how the hatred started. The prince of Ubiam even proposed to her but she turned him down and decided she had to leave Ubiam too. She left Ubiam and returned to Getu land but she did not return to the palace of Getu. The Prince of Getu never stopped looking for her and he found her and made sure they continued from where they stopped. The Queen of Getu made her daughters to understand that the Prince of Ubiam who now was the Onowu of Ubiam was never serious with her and only wanted to have her body. She made them understand that in life they must never allow another person to have access to what they have given all their attention to and also advised them against holding onto something from people when they know that do not really want that thing. After this the two sisters looked at each other and then thanked their mother for being strong willed.
