King Adeyemo and his queen and his Children on the dinning table, king Adeyemo keeps ordering the waiters to keep piling up food for Adebayo while Adebimpe and Adeola keeps on watching the king as he kept ordering the waiters to concentrate on their brother.
This is how it has always happens Oyetoro palace, the king places his son Adebayo the heir above everybody in the palace because he was too happy when Adebayo was born that his lineage won't be wipe off from the Royal family name.
The queen herself is not allow to even control the heir because the father believe he alone can teach him how to rule the Oyetoro kingdom successfully.
"Father am still waiting " Adebimpe says , "the food is still on the table waiting for you to dish it out" replied king
Their mother turn to another waiter to serve the girls.
" Please serve the girls, they are famished" the wueen says.
" I am so sorry my queen, I cannot go beyond the order of his Majesty, because the prince and the king as to be served first before anyone" the waiter says and the queen was so pissed off that she was only keeping her cool because the children are there.
"This is so unfair, your highness, we are also human and member of the Royal family, so why do we have to wait for you and the king before eating , you are a king and you are suppose to do things equally in this our family because we are the role model to the people of this Town" said Adeola.
the king didn't utter a word because he wasn't ready to start explaining himself than things should be done the way he wants .
After the king and Adebayo was served then ghe waiter and waitresses served them their food althought she was still angry but she is tired of them fighting over and over again on this issue.
Soon they all began to eat and Adetola began to talk about her futire dreams.
" Mom, I would really like become a medical doctor in a foreign land and also get married into the foreign Royal family, I am talking about somewhere like sweden, United kingdom, Belguim, I love the lifestyle of their royals" Adetola says.
" Like seriously, wait till you get bethroted to some prince here " Adebimpe says.
" And I am never going to accept that, I wanna make my choice" Adetola says " And moreover you are older and you haven't been bethroted to anyone" Adetola saya as she stuff some mosel of swallow into her mouth.
"I want to become a fashion designers, have my brand popular go on a run way, you know meet with a lot of people , who knows maybe I would end up marrying a celebrity" she says smiling then her smiling was cut short when her father dropped the boomerang.
" Well for your information Adebimpe, you cannot do whatever you like under my roof, you will do as I say, I will choose my own choice of course for you and also when I see the right man that you will be bethroted to then that is when you will have your own fiancee".
Adebimpe lost appetite in the food and tears are beginning to gather in her eyes, she has never made a descision of her own since the day she has been born, whenever she tries to make a descision on her own it usually get flopped by her Dad.
She wish she was born into another family, she wished she was born a boy like her brother Adebayo maybe she would have been able to make a descison on her own.
Maybe she shouldn't have been born a princess that is another thing she always think about.
Adebimpe knows her father as never cared and loved her like she does , she and her sister Adetola has always done many things in their father way just to satisfy him but nothing matters to him than Adebayo is the heir and that he needs to be pampered.
He tours with their father and their mother all around the countries but they would have to wait for their own turn which is when they get married.
Maybe because Adebimpe has always been the gentle and cool girl unlike Adetola who cannot satisfy people for too long just like she said that she was going to become a princess in another man's country and also says she was going to be a medical doctor she is going to pursue it and won't back off until she achieve her dreams but Adebimpe is the easy giving up girl whenever her dad says you cannot do this she just accepts it just like that while Adebayo gets everything he wants except for him saying he dosen't want to be a king in the future.
The king dosen't force him to do anything afterall he was going to be sitting on the throne in the future.
The queen is trying hard to balance the love between her children she sometimes even speak to her husband against this but it seems the king just doesn't want to understand that he should share his love among all his children.
They all finish eating and Adebimpe rushes into her room.and goes to cry, her mother saw how she run into her chamber and she knows she must have gone to cry her eyes out.
The queen waits for all the children to leave the dinning and all the workers responsible for the dinning should clear the dining.
Then she went down on her knees, my husband, my king , the king of Oyetoro kingdom, please I beg of you for how long are we going to keep a tradition of the days of our father? Please my king, do not let us choose for Adebimpe, the Royal.institution of today dosen't force children against their will, let us leave them.to make their choices" she says.
" Woman!" He said in an hoarse voice and the queen knows once he changes his voice it means anger so the queen stood up and quickly walk away.
'Welcome father , how was your journey , said Adebimpe "
"Thank you, Adebimpe , the journey was alright , where is your mother" said the king " .
"Mother is inside her room relaxing , said Adebimpe " .
"Alright, Adebayo are you Alright ? , what happen in your school today , you know you are my pride , please face your study very well , don't bring calamities to the royal house said the king " .

"But my king, they are girls , and they will all marry one day, don't you think so ? Please let them go for what they have passion for.".
" Do you want me to take another queen that will give me another son ?" said the king .
"God forbid bad things in my home , intruders will never have her way in my home " .
