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.
