Chapter 57: The Third Queen

After many suns had set, many suns had risen, many rains had fallen and many winds had blown, days upon days, full moons upon full moons, the marriage was a forgotten one. 

Even Oranmiyan had not failed to make his words come to pass for the princess he had not seen and her chamber where she always remained, he did not visit. 

For his words he promised to Okiki-osupa he would harken and everything he had done since then had only been in the interest of Okiki-osupa and Okiki-osupa alone. 

But even Okiki-osupa had disappointed him, for her words of promise she had broken and only for the sin of not providing Oranmiyan a prince, Oranmiyan turned his face away from her and from his chamber he forbade her never to step in. 

In his words, should he have known she could never give him a prince for her womb she had eaten since the day she betrayed her father and there could be nothing she had inside of her than female baboons.
