Chapter 111 Take The Woman Back Amy turned to look at Prince Nolan who was behind her, “what’s going on here?” “Michael is my friend,” Prince Nolan declared. *Amy. I know you are surprised to see me but I mean no harm,” the man who had just appeared from the room said. He was Michael. Amy turned back to Michael and looked at him with disgust, he then said to Prince Nolan,” so you deceived me to come over because of your friend?” “I did not.” “Excuse me!” Amy exclaimed,” I should have known that all men are the same.” She said painfully. Just when she thought her pain was over, it seems it was just getting started. “Amy, I didn’t deceive you to come. You came on your own will and I didn’t lie to you,” Prince Nolan said. He added, “what I said about the physician is true. I will take you and the kids to him tomorrow.” “But why didn’t you tell me that Michael was here?” “It was intentional and I apologize,” Prince Nolan said. “I’m so dissapointed in you,” Amy said angrily and looked away. Michael simply remained quiet, watching her quietly. “Can you take me to my room?” Amy asked after a period of silence. “Sure,” Prince Nolan lead her to one of the rooms in the palace. Once she got inside the room, she was mesmerized at how big the room was. It had an extra large king size bed that she wondered if she would be staying here with someone else. She turned to Prince Nolan and asked,” erm…is this for me alone?” “Yes.” He said and watched as Amy walked around the room. “Amy!” He called and she turned to him,” I was the one who saved Michael from where Broderick kept him and sent him over here. He had requested of me to bring you over here without telling you but I didn’t intend to force you to come over. I’m really sorry for hiding this from you,” Prince Nolan said. “Nice plot!” Amy clapped. “You already lost my trust,” Amy sat on the bed and looked at him blankly. There was no anger in her face anymore, perhaps because she assumed that he made a sincere
apology. Prince Nolan nodded briefly and said,” I really hope you can forgive me.” He added as he pointed to the room next to her,” the room next to yours is where your kids are. I think they will be awake soon. You can check on them.” “Alright. And If I need something?” Amy asked. “Hold on, please.“ Prince Nolan requested and walked away. He came back a few seconds later with a woman, *here is Bristol, one of the senior maids, she will attend to all your needs.” “Oh! Got it!” Amy said, “I’ll check on you from time to time,” Prince Nolan said and walked away. “You are welcome, miss Amy.” Bristol smiled as she walked towards Amy. “Thank you, Bristol. If I need you, I’ll call on you,” she said. “Alright, ma…just dial the remote there and I’ll be alerted that you need my attention,” she said pointing to a table that has a remote on it. Amy stood and walked up to the table, she picked up the remote that had only two button, the green and red. She had seen similar remote in a top class restaurant some years ago, instead of shouting for servers to attend to someone, one could press the green button on the remote and the server will be alerted and attend to the person. Although the settings here was old, Amy was amused that they engaged modern technology. “Got it. Thank you,” Amy said. “And I can’t wait to meet your beautiful six kids,” Bristol smiled. Amy smirked,” sure…soon!” Bristol then walked out. Amy decided to check on her kids but a call came through on her phone at that moment, seeing that it was Joan, she sat back to the bed and said,” hey Joan! What’s up?”
“I’m fine. The entire North Hill is hot and fearful at the moment,” Joan said. “What’s going on?” “You don’t know? Broderick Alessandro is angry and the entire country is feeling the heat. I think he’s
trying to force our president to start a war against East Hill,” she said. “A war? EastHill and North Hill has no quarrel,” Amy said. *The quarrel started when Prince Nolan took Broderick Alessandro’s kids away. Did you really think Broderick will sit back and let his kids grow in EastHill. Just pray that everything goes well,” Joan said. Amy sighed,” did he ask you about me?” “No. We haven’t met,” Joan answered. “Alright, keep me informed about any news. Need to check on my kids now,” Amy said. “Okay, Amy then hung the call up and walked out of her room. She saw numerous guards standing at alert, she eventually walked to her children’s room. She realized that Moses was already awake but the rest were still laying on the bed. Moses was looking around the room obviously wondering how he got here. Once his eyes set on Amy, he furrowed his brow, “how did we get here?” “I won’t hurt you, I’m here to help you all to recover your memory,” Once Amy finished saying this, Elijah and Elisha woke from sleep. They sat upright and on seeing Amy, the recognized her as the woman who had come to their father’s house few weeks back and was acting all crazy. “Why are we here?” Elijah asked in fear. The place looked so strange to them. “Please keep calm, I won’t hurt you. Your dad isn’t here but I have brought you here to help you recover your memory” Amy said. “How can we trust you?” Elisha asked. “Take us back to our dad or bring our dad here.” Before Amy could say another word, the girls woke one after the other. The girls held onto their brother for protection as they wondered how they got here. “Brother, what are we doing here?” Queen asked Elijah. “This woman said she brought us here to help us recover our memory but I doubt if dad knows about it,” Moses said. “Otherwise dad would have been here.” * Could she have kidnapped us?” Elisha asked. The girls
en more scared when they heard the word ‘kidnap.’ *Please trust me, I will never hurt any of you. When you recover your memory, you will thank me for helping you,” Amy said. “No, take us back to our father!” Moses insisted. “I don’t trust you, take us to our dad,” Elijah added. “Or we’ll start screaming, better to take us back to our dad,” Angel said. “Hold on!” Debby said to his brothers and sisters and they all turned to look at her. She stood from the bed and walked up to Amy. “I have once seeing you in my dream as our mother,” Debby said. “Really?” Amy was surprised “Yes. But why did you bring us here? Is it really to help us recover our memory?” Debby asked, looking intently at her face. “Of course,” Amy responded. “Why?” Debby asked. *Cause I’m actually your mother. I know you won’t believe me now but when you all recover your memories, you will believe me,” Amy said. Debby thought quietly and turned to her brothers and sisters, they were all quiet and were looking at her. She turned back to Amy and said,” how do you plan on doing that?” The children had been a shadow of themselves ever since they had lost their memory. They couldn’t remember basic things that other kids remember. Not even the alphabets in English languge nor the figures in mathematics. They couldn’t do simple calculations but they had been learning fast since then, nonetheless it can’t beat recovering their memories. “There is a trusted physician here that we would go to meet tomorrow. He had helped people recover their memories in the past and I’m sure he can help you recover your memory too.” Debby became hopeful and smiled,” thank you so much.” Amy smiled and ruffled her hair, “Are you guys feeling hungry yet?” Amy asked,
“No, not yet. Where is your room?” Debby asked. Amy took her out and pointed her room to her, it was just right beside hers,” I’ll come to check on you from time to time but if you need anything, let me know, okay?” “Sure.” Debby said and Amy walked over to her room in order to give the children some privacy. Debby returned to her brothers and sisters and Moses immediately spoke,” did you really trust that woman? “Do we have a choice?” Debby asked. *That’s right, we have to act like we trust her while we think of a way to reach dad,” Elijah said. “Dad must be so devastated right now. I really hate this woman, how can she kidnap us?” Elisha asked angrily “Let’s be calm, let’s hope she can help us recover our memory,” Debby said and jumped on the bed. “Where in the world is this place?” Moses asked. “It looks like am ancient castle,” Queen responded. “Why don’t we tell that woman to take us around the castle just to have a look around, we would be able to deduce a way to escape, what did you all think?” Elijah asked. “I think that’s a great idea. We can’t reside here while thinking that what the woman said is true,” Elisha said. “Let’s not make any move for now. Let’s hold on until she takes us to meet the physician. We will escape from here, sure but let’s lay low for now,” Debby said. Moses shrugged and jumped off the bed, he looked around the place and hissed, there is no PES Game here, are we going to be just sleeping and waking all our life?” “Such a boring life, I think we should deal with this woman?” Elijah suggested. “Let’s take it easy as Debby said. If we can recover our memory tomorrow, we will know who our true mother is at least. Please let’s be patient and calm,” Angel said. The girls kept trying to calm their angry brothers down. When it was night, a knock landed on Amy’s door and she stood from her bed to open it. Seeing Prince
Nolan, she greeted,” hey!” *Has Michael come here?” *No.” “Good. Cause I warned him not to come to your room,” Prince Nolan said. “Really? Why?” She asked. “I know you may not like it. I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable around here. I brought you here so you can be happy.” Prince Nolan said while Amy just kept quiet. *Would you mind taking a walk with me?” *Sure,” Amy replied with a smile. Since her dress was okay, she just walked out of the room with him. “Hold on, let me check on my kids,” Amy said. “Don’t go.” “Why?” “If you check on them often, they would not feel comfortable. Remember they didn’t see you as their mother yet. But there is another way to check on them,” Prince Nolan took her to a computer room and clicked on one of the computers, Amy saw her little children discussing seriously in the room. Apparently, there is a CCTV camera in the children’s room “Oh great! But can I have this computer with me so I can monitor them, I won’t feel comfortable if someone else is monitoring what my kids are doing,” Amy said. “Consider it done.” Prince Nolan said and immediately ordered for the computer to be taken to her room then the both of them began to walk until they were out of the palace. Amy now had the chance to beheld the palace and it’s exquisite environment. It looked very cool and quiet with numerous soldiers stationed around strategically. Prince Nolan and Amy began to walk around the compound of the palace quietly while Amy kept adoring numerous beautiful designs that were made around the palace. “How is your dad?” He asked. “He’s fine. I can’t introduce you to him now. I’ll do that at the right time,” Prince Nolan said. “Won’t he question my presence and that of my kids?” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“I already told him that you and the kids are my guest,” Prince Nolan said. When they both got before a big statue of one of the ancient kings, he paused walking and began to tell her the story of the iconic king. Amy even sat by the big stone beside the statue listening to the story. The story got her interest that she didn’t want him to stop. She was loving how the story was evolving and how the king developed in character and saved his kingdom wisely at a very challenging time when everyone thought that the kingdom will crash. “I really love the king, he’s so wise and charismatic,” Amy said with a smile. Her troubled soul had become very calm as the story soothed her soul so well. “I’m glad you liked it, this was why his statue was made in a gigantic way.” Prince Nolan said and asked,” can | sit beside you?” “Sure.” Prince Nolan sat beside her, they were now both seated on the big stone. “You are the only son of your father, you must have enjoyed all your life,” Amy said. “Yes, I’m born with silver spoon and I have enjoyed so much pleasure. I eat whatever I want to eat, go to wherever I want to go, have whatever I want to have. Life has been easy for me but I’m not spoilt, I’m keen,” he said, “I can tell.” Prince Nolan chuckled and asked,” don’t you miss Broderick?” “I’ll lie if I say I don’t miss him,” as soon as Amy finished speaking, two guards came running towards Prince Nalan. “My prince, the king demand for your presence now,” the guards said with a bow of their head. “Okay,” Prince Nolan said to the guards and then turned to Amy.” Amy, let me lead you inside then I’ll go and attend to my father.” “Sure.” Amy stood and began to walk inside with him. Amy wondered why his father had suddenly demanded for his presence. By the time they got inside the palace, Amy walked to her room while Prince Nolan went to the king’s
chamber. Actually, Amy was curious to know what the king wants to say that she trails secretly after Prince Nolan. Once Prince Nolan appeared before his old father, King Travis. “Nolan, why did you kidnap a woman and her kids to my kingdom? So this was your plan for going to North Hill, to cause trouble, huh?” King Travis asked. “I can explain, father.” “Explain what? Our country had been at peace with North Hill for the past hundred years, but now the president of North Hill had sent us a letter to send back the woman and the kids before twenty four hours or there will be a war,” King Travis said. “What!” Prince Nolan was shocked. He didn’t expect that Broderick will go to that extent to get back his kids. “Father, I brought the woman and the kids here for a reason. I can explain if you let me,” Prince Nolan said. “Take the woman and her kids back to North Hill now. I believe you know the consequences of war? Now do as I have said,” he commanded. “Father!” “I say do as I have said,” King Travis shouted.
