The King of Jiala village sent his guards to Arinze's hut to bring Inyi the child of wealth and prosperity to the Palace.
Arinze asked the guards if there was a problem. But the guards just told him to f0ll0w them.
Nnayi what happened? His wife Ujunwa asked as she saw the guards escorting his husband out.
I don't know what the problem is, but I will be back before you know it. Arinze said.
Arinze f0ll0wed the guards along with Inyi.
They finally arrived the palace and Arinze bow before the King.
Arinze I heard there's a secret before your sudden wealth. The King said to Arinze.
My King there's No secret, they gods just decided to bless me. Arinze said.
So you are saying your sudden wealth has nothing to do with this baby you are carrying? The King asked.
Inyi is indeed a blessed child. It is true my King that the gods started blessing me when I found him, but I don't think the blessings are attached to him. Arinze said.
Where did you find this child? The King asked. I found him under the big Inyi tree. Arinze said. So that is why you named him Inyi? The King asked.
Yes my King. Arinze replied. So since he isn't your biological child, I as the King of Jiala village has decided to take Inyi as my son. He will start living with me from today. The King said
My King, I and my wife have come to love Inyi. Inyi has become part of my family. I don't see the reason why you want to take him away from us. Arinze said.
So you are exchanging words with me your King? The King asked. I'm not exchanging words with you my King. Arinze said.
Guards collect the child from him. The King said. Arinze knew that the King didn't have intentions of taking care of the child, he just want the child for the blessings he brings.
Arinze gave the child to the King. He didn't want to struggle so that it won't result to the child getting injúred.
My King I hope you take care of Inyi as you have promised. Arinze said.
You can leave. The King said. The guards led Arinze out of the Palace.
Immediately Arinze left, the King called his most trusted maiden Ijeoma and asked her to start taking care of Inyi.
Arinze returned home without Inyi. His wife Ujunwa asked him where Inyi was. The King collected him. Arinze said. The King collected him? How? Why? We found that boy first. Why would they King do something like that? Ujunwa asked.
I don't know someone must have told him that the child brings blessing. Arinze said.
And you are going to allow the King have him? We have been taking care of this child for five month. Five month, if we haven't found him. He might have d!ed. Now that the child bring blessings the King wants to take him from us? Ujunwa asked the husband.
What would you have me do Uju? Arinze asked his wife.
What do you mean what would I have you do? Inyi is now our son. We must not leave him with the King. We have to get him back. Afterall we found him. So if he brings blessing it's only right we benefit from that blessing. Uju said.
So in essence what are you trying to say? Arinze asked his wife. We are getting back Inyi. We must not leave him in that Palace. Uju said to her husband.
This was when the real war began.
Your shares is my biggest motivation to continue.
To Be Continued.
