In traditional African societies, herbalists serve as essential healers who bridge the gap between spiritual and physical health, often being chosen by divine forces to serve their communities; however, their traditional knowledge and healing abilities can create complex power dynamics when they enter royal households, challenging established hierarchies and creating conflicts between personal love, family duty, and societal expectations.

Oh my God. That match is going to be real. It is no longer a secret that you're having something to do with the herbalist.
I've considered my relationship with Olistemeka and I've decided to marry him.
Are you all right?
Yes, my dear sister. It is not going to work, and that's on period.
>> Mother, your position does not matter in this issue. Who am I supposed to marry, a man I don't even love? How?

Mother.
I think we should take father back to the palace.
We've done our best for him.
Let's take him back to the palace.
So he can spend his remaining days there.
Please.
Let him stay here.
He's better here in the hospital.
Please.
Oh mother, you heard what the doctor said. [snorts] He said his condition is getting worse.
Let's take him back to the palace. I beg you. Mother. Come on.
I know this is too hard for you.
It is too for us all.
And we're in this together.
We're with you.
We should take father back to the throne.
I'm tired of the same word from the doctor over and over again.
It's not doing any of us any good, nor him.
I am not comfortable with that either.
How can we take him home from the hospital? He is better here. So that if there's anything, we can always call the doctor and the nurses to come and check him.
>> Oh mom, mom, we're going to hire a private nurse to do that.
A nurse can take care of him at home.
Please.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Oh, jeez.

CHIMA, WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
JESUS.
>> [music] >> HEY. [screaming] HEY.
My My My queen.
I was glad when I heard that you are back.
For spending 2 months at the hospital with him means you've demonstrated your unbridled love, care, and support for your husband.
Everybody is talking about how good you are as a wife.
And they are praying that our king should get better soon.
And if he doesn't get better, everyone knows that you have at least tried your best.
You have.
Thank you so much.
Okay, sir.
My queen.
I appreciate.
Thank you.
Actually, we brought him home because his situation is getting worse.
And the hospital is no longer helping.
So, we decided to keep him here and wait for the worst to happen.
The worst will never happen.
It will never.
Well, it is well with you and your household.
You have done well.
Thank you.
>> Really done well. We appreciate you.
Can I go and see the king now?
Let me take you to him. Thank you. Thank you.
>> [music] >> And then my number one tip I make a 1,000 in a city.
Okay, look away.
Look away.
I want to know what kind of one that I am.
And my ghost are dead in here.
I want to know what kind of one that I am.
I want to know what kind of one that I am.
I want to know what kind of one that I am.
>> [music] >> May my eyes never see my ears.
HOW CAN A TREE DIE WITHOUT shed and its leaves?
Eze [snorts] Edibia Help me.
My spirit has been engulfed with pain.
Do not allow the day to be consumed by the evil of the night.
Help me, Eze Edibia.
Help me, Eze Edibia.
Help me.
MAMA.
>> [music] [laughter and gasps] >> MY HUSBAND WAS BITTEN BY A SNAKE, and the venom keeps expanding all over his body.
I don't think my husband can make it.
But I thought there are herbs that can help. He's the only one that knows what's or how to do it.
I'm on my way to look for help. I pray he's found one.
>> [laughter] >> Okay, Mama. Mama, where is your Ezebuike?
Ezebuike is at home with his father.
Okay, Mama.
>> [music] >> Um She's not at home now.
She went out to see a friend, but I'm certain she will back later in the day.
Okay. Okay. Well, um just tell her that I came to fulfill my promise Every word in uh >> [laughter] >> Hey!
Um I will surely do that. For sure.
Certainly, I will tell her. Okay. Okay.
Okay. But it's nice to see you after so many years. You are now a very successful man. Mhm. Yes, papa.
Uh I thank God [music] for his blessings.
Uh but it's not actually of my life. Of course, boys in a more for my boys in a world boys in a particular Mhm.
Mhm.
Mhm.
Mhm.
Mhm.
Okay, then >> [laughter] >> Hey! Okay, I am a man.
I am a woman.
I want to ask a bookie.
Well, of course, when I record a dollar Uh all night long Okay, well, maybe Okay.
>> [screaming] [screaming] >> Amen. Amen.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
Jehovah have mercy.
>> [snorts] >> You know, I'm wondering what exactly is going to happen to the throne if father eventually dies.
I've also thought about it.
We are both unmarried.
And that means the throne will be like that.
Sis, why don't you consider getting married soon?
>> You see, that's the problem. That's the real problem. Because I'm not ready for this thing called marriage.
I'm not ready for this thing called marriage.
I'm not ready for the drama that comes with it.
Girl, I just want to be single. Mom will not let that happen, you know.
She's going to pressure you to get married. She is also going to pressure you. Aren't you a woman like me?
>> I'm a woman, but you are my older sister. It doesn't matter.
Let the one who is ready to get married get married.
It's as simple as that.
Papa, who is Adwoa Adozi?
Oh, uh you have forgotten him already.
Huh?
Mawu Kosi, the one you used to fetch water with.
Oh.
I remembered.
He was my primary school classmate. Mhm, yeah. But he's now a big man with a big car. Is he okay? He was here.
So, what does he want? What else, my dear? He wants your hand in marriage.
What is that for? What did you tell him?
What else?
That when next he comes here, he will receive my blessings.
Papa, blessing what?
You didn't tell him I have a man in my life already.
>> crazy? You see on a merry-go-round?
I should tell him you have that Abuki in your life already.
Huh?
Only making noise. Listen, I say when next I go here comes here, he's having you as his wife. And that is the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega.
Do you hear me? Papa, make it make sense.
Why am I supposed to marry a man I DON'T EVEN LOVE? HOW?
>> Make what make sense? Now, get up. Get out OF THIS PLACE.
I'M GOING TO MARRY THE MAN I REALLY LOVE, PAPA. I LOVE HIM. I got to give it back to that book about book. I reject you.
>> [music] >> I see God here. Next I step on it about bullying.
>> [music] [music] >> Mr. Balis, what happened to him?
>> I saw him in my neighbor's village.
What happened to him? They brought him back like this few hours ago.
>> [music] >> But I'm suspecting a snake bite.
>> Snake bite? Yes. Why didn't you tell me it was a snake bite? I thought you would have come and see him first.
You must hurry now to the forest and get me ubulocha leaves right now immediately. Go.
Ubuloja leaves?
>> Yes. But I don't really know >> There's no buts. Unless you want your father dead in the next hours. Please, go on now. Please rush me faster.
Be fast.
The king's throne trembles when his ancestral gods are silent.
The king appeared to me in distress seeking for my help.
The king appeared to you?
But the king is not dead. I know. And I believe that you all know the signs that follow seeking the ghost of someone who is still alive.
It means he is on the crossroad between life and death.
As the Dibia, we do understand the sign.
But at this point in time, what do you suggest we do?
We need to make his passing less painful by seeking for a way to alleviate his suffering.
I believe a herbalist can see to this.
In that case, we must send for Adindu, the herbalist immediately. What are we waiting for?
This is indeed a bad situation. We must sit up do something.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Okay.
>> I've been trying to reach you on the phone.
It wasn't connected.
So, I came in here and was informed that your dad was in the hospital.
I'm sorry. I haven't been stable ever since my dad has been hospitalized.
I've been helping my mom take care of him in the hospital, but I understand.
So, how is he? How's your dad?
Honestly, he's not getting better.
But, he's been brought back in.
Wow.
I can imagine the kind of pains and suffering he's going through right now.
And I can also imagine the kind of pains you're going through right now.
Huh?
I'm going to be okay.
So, how are you?
I don't even know what to say.
It's well.
Don't worry, huh? It's well. You're going to be fine.
I'm happy to see you after several weeks.
>> [music] >> Thank you for coming.
>> [music] >> How does he feel about seeing him?
Yes, I actually asked Sandra to service him. So, by now he should be eating.
If his worst fears are done, let me know so I can go and claim his body for him.
Every moment. Thank you. How's Daddy?
He's okay. How's it going?
Yeah, he just left.
Did he see Dad?
Or did you tell him Dad is okay now? Of course not. He knows Dad is sick.
Maybe he doesn't see the need to see him, I guess.
>> He doesn't see the need?
That's so arrogant of him. You see, that's why I don't like men.
Some of them are so annoying. I mean, would it take him 5 minutes to just go up and see dad?
That's not my problem. Just let it be.
That's your rubbish.
Sis, please.
As Edibia said, we should get a herbalist.
That he will be taking care of your father to help him ease his pains.
While he prepares to join his ancestors.
A herbalist?
Yes.
No, mum. Surely we have one in this kingdom.
Yes, I've sent for him. Okay. I don't know why it's taking him so long to be here.
Maybe he's trying to put in one or two heads before he gets here.
You may be right, you know.
>> [music] >> Where do you think you are going?
Where? Papa, I'm leaving the house.
What is the meaning of that nonsense?
>> [snorts] >> Since you said that I won't have anything to do with the man I love, all because I'm under your roof, I'm leaving this roof of yours to another roof. Uh well, let me take that to be a joke.
Just step out. Step out and see what I can do to you. Papa, please let me go.
Please let me.
I'm not going to marry the man you want ME TO MARRY ALL BECAUSE YOU WANT HIM. I DON'T WANT HIM.
I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THAT JOKE. NOW TAKE THIS BAG INSIDE.
>> Papa I'm GOING TO GO. I SAID TAKE THIS BAG INSIDE. OH, YOU WANT TO GO?
LOOK AT THE IDIOT.
BULLDOZER.
RUBBISH.
GREETINGS.
We are sent by the queen to fetch your husband, the herbalist, immediately.
Look at my husband.
My husband is dying.
My husband is dying.
>> [laughter] >> My husband is dying.
>> [laughter] >> Woman, he's okay. Let's go.
You know let's go.
>> [laughter] [music] >> What do you mean you didn't come with the herbalist? Where is he? He is sick, my queen.
What do you mean he's sick?
He's dying, my queen.
Woman, where is your son?
I don't know what is keeping him.
I don't know what is keeping him. Oh.
Your husband is no LONGER BREATHING WELL.
HEY!
>> [music] >> HEY!
>> [screaming] >> I JUST SAID THAT I CAN'T GO WITH YOU.
I JUST [screaming] SAID THAT I CAN'T.
>> YOU TOO HAVE TO BE CAREFUL.
>> [screaming] >> IT WASN'T HIS FAULT. I APOLOGIZE.
ALISTER I GOT IT. HERE IS IT.
MAMA, STOP CRYING. I'm here.
Alister Your FATHER IS DEAD.
>> [screaming] [laughter] >> HEY.
NO.
NO.
>> [screaming] >> PLEASE.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WITH HIM?
WHAT DO WE DO NOW THAT THE man is dead?
Do you think we're going to take father back to the hospital? No.
That's pointless.
I've already contracted a nurse that will be taking care of him here at home.
Giving him the needed medications.
I believe that was the only herbalist we have in this village.
Now that the man is dead, what do we do?
What do we do, mother?
I'll have to speak to Akaze.
Let me ask if we can [music] bring a herbalist from a nearby village.
It's unfortunate the only herbalist we have in this kingdom is dead. Papa be calm.
Papa, [snorts] I beg you.
I beg you, please let me go and see him.
Please.
>> [snorts] >> Papa, he just lost his father. Please.
He has not yet started losing anything.
He will soon lose himself.
And do you know why he lost his father?
That was because he couldn't even take him to a very good hospital for a good treatment. And that is the the man you want to marry you.
So that soon you will die of hunger.
Huh?
Just try me and see what this one can do. Papa, please. Papa >> [laughter and gasps] >> I need to be by his side. Papa, please.
He's just grieving. Papa, please call him. Don't worry. When he is dead and inside the grave, then you go and stay by his side. DON'T NEAR ME. DON'T NEAR ME.
>> [laughter] [gasps] >> PAPA, PLEASE CALL HIM.
>> [laughter] >> PAPA, PLEASE.
My queen, I am very sorry.
Getting a herbalist outside this kingdom is very, very difficult.
Every kingdom needs a herbalist.
And there's no way they will allow their herbalist to come and work in another kingdom.
Huh?
>> [snorts] >> Okay, then.
This has to do with the king's health.
From what you said, Eze Edibia said we need a herbalist, isn't it? Yes. Yes.
>> will lessen the king's pain. So what are we doing?
Let's hurry.
Okay. We we Is that not the king's voice I'm hearing? Exactly what I'm telling you.
He's been like that since last night.
Huh? HE'S IN SO MUCH PAIN and it's BREAKING MY HEART.
SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE.
Let's do something.
We have to do something. Exactly.
Please. Let let me go and talk to Eze Edibia. Immediately I'll get to Edibia. Let me go.
>> Ulisa, I'm so sorry I couldn't show up when you needed me the most.
I tried, but my father refused me.
I'm sorry for your loss.
It's okay, brother. I think your father is right.
Yes.
I can't feed myself. So, how can I marry you, talk more of taking care of you?
But I can wait for you. No, no, no, you're a woman. You can't wait. You don't have time.
A man can wait, not a woman. Okay? So, please, go and marry someone that can take care of you.
Simple.
Ulisa, even when I don't love him? That is not my problem now. I just lost my father.
That means more responsibilities on my shoulder.
I won't be carrying my family and be talking about marriage when I'm jobless.
It's not making sense. It's not all about love. It's not making sense.
So, please, this is a painful breakup, but we have to stop seeing each other. Okay?
Go and get married. You don't have time as a woman while I fix my life.
Thank you.
Ulisa, I said I'm sorry. It's over.
Mama, stop, man. I can't continue like this.
>> [laughter] >> I can't continue like this.
I can't continue like this. Stop it.
Ulisa, it is your fault.
>> [clears throat] >> IT [laughter] IS YOUR FAULT, ULISA.
MAMA, how is it my fault?
I didn't mean you came ON TIME. I DIDN'T MEAN YOU BROUGHT us help on time to save the life of your father. YOUR FATHER [laughter] WOULDN'T HAVE DIED. Your father waited for you in pain hoping that you would come to save his life, but you didn't go return. YOU DIDN'T COME HOME. LOOK AT IT NOW.
ULISA, YOUR FATHER IS DISAPPOINTED IN YOU.
>> [laughter] >> MAMA, so you're saying I purposely delayed so that my father can die? To what gain?
I told you I go to the forest. I got the leaves. On my way back something terrible happened.
I explained everything to you.
You purposely delayed for my own father to die. No.
>> [crying and laughter] >> Then why didn't you leave whatever you were doing and run down here to save the life of your father first?
>> [laughter] >> NOW LOOK AT THIS. YOUR FATHER IS DEAD.
WHAT charge are you laying on me? Man, natural occurrences.
It's not like I was sleeping on the road.
It's okay.
It's okay. Mama is okay.
Just go. Just go. Just go.
>> [laughter] >> Who's going to go to the doctor? Mama?
[screaming] Take heart, okay? Please.
When there is a treasure in the kingdom of men, why then should the warriors of the kingdom of men go in search of a treasure in the hidden forest of illusion?
I don't understand you.
I just told you the man is dead.
Every death gives way for a life anew.
The death of our king heralds the rising of another.
I don't get you, Isedevia.
You speak in parables.
Oualum.
A herbalist is in our midst already.
I must pick up the responsibility at once.
And who is this herbalist?
I was here the other day and you were the first one to use hands to save him.
How are you?
I'm fine.
It has been a long time.
I came to fulfill the promise I made with you.
What promise?
I can't remember any.
Promise [music] to marry you.
I made that promise and I intend keeping it.
Did I in any occasion agree to that promise?
I am.
You know that I love you so much.
I didn't want to the city to [music] make money and I'm now back to marry you and take good care of you.
I have a man in my life already.
>> [music] >> Is he ready to marry?
>> [music] >> Is there anybody in this house?
Good morning, sir. Good morning to you.
How are you doing? I'm fine. Hope all is well.
>> All is well.
How is your son?
My son is fine.
Okay. Is he at home?
No, he's not at home. Hope everything is well. [music] All is fine.
>> [music] >> You did well.
You did well. Now I can go to do.
Hey, my daughter.
you did well by choosing this young man as your husband.
I have no doubt that he will continue to take care of you as long as you remain an obedient and caring wife.
I am proud of you, Nneka.
And you, my son-in-law, huh?
Okay.
You are a noun a man.
Huh? A man among men.
>> [clears throat] >> Huh?
I want you to take good care of her.
Show her care. Show her respect.
And finally, one thing I wouldn't want you to think of in this life is raising your hand on her.
You know why?
Because she has a father who is an old soldier, a retired brigadier in the army.
Easy.
Nawa.
Mhm?
Okay.
Huh? Five boys and five girls. So, I even they wish you well.
Huh?
Huh?
Uh Papa, I promise I will take good care of her. Yeah.
Um it shall be well with you. Easy. Mhm?
Huh?
Mhm?
Huh? Huh?
Oh, yeah.
>> Kweku.
>> [music] [music] [music] [music] [singing] >> When I asked you to go get ogulo char leaf, have you seen or heard about it before?
No. Okay.
So, how then did you get to know the leaf when you got to the forest? This thing my body tell I talk say na him. I just pluck it.
You are the chosen one.
Huh?
No No, please.
Uh I don't understand.
Please.
Your son has been chosen to succeed his father as a herbalist.
I call that concoction true. Not my son.
Woman, your son has been chosen.
Whether you like it or not, there's nothing you can do about it.
>> And I say it's not possible. It's my house, see? This is 2026, sir.
Me, herbalist? How?
This is 2026. There are things you shouldn't be saying.
Mama, didn't you hear him? I heard him. That whatever I start will not prosper until I take my responsibility and become a herbalist.
Don't mind him. I don't believe that nonsense. He's [snorts] just saying it to lure you into doing whatever he wants you to do.
You cannot become a herbalist. You look for something reasonable to do in this life. Something that will be fetching you money.
I mean being a herbalist Me?
Herbalist?
But mama, what if it is my calling? God forbid.
I reject it. It will never be your calling. Ah, wait oh.
Why are you even trying to consider consider what this man just said?
Why are you trying to consider it?
Look, your mates are there in the CITY BUYING BIG CARS, BUYING AND YOU ARE HERE CONSIDERING to be a herbalist.
Mbanu, it's not possible now. Eh?
It's not possible.
Look, there's no need debating debating this or dragging it.
Let me just tell you we are not dragging anything at all. You cannot be a herbalist in this village.
In the church of Ichiefo, YOUR FATHER DIED A POOR HERBALIST IN this village.
You want to take after your father again and DIE A POOR HERBALIST AGAIN. AH, MBANU. I need big cars. I need big money.
Go to the city, make money for yourself and stop saying this. Not under my watch. I will not live to see this happen.
The son of the herbalist has been chosen to succeed his late father.
Then what are we waiting for? Send for him immediately. He has a task here at the palace.
My queen, the mother is the problem.
She has refused to the boy becoming a herbalist.
Did you tell her he's urgently needed at the palace to ease the pain of my husband, the great king?
I I did.
I explained everything to her.
But she blatantly refused.

He is the hope of my family. I want him to succeed in life.
My queen, I want him to change the financial status of my family. Please, I will not allow him to this work. My son will not become a herbalist in this village. Please, I beg of you.
Being a herbalist will not stop him from engaging in any business of his choice.

So, please, I will not allow it. The king has been sick.
He has been sick for a while now.
Yes, I'm aware.
The king needs his help.
He needs a herbalist, and that herbalist is your son.

Maybe your son is destined to be rich for what he's doing now.
Okay?
Uh, destined to be rich.
Destined to be rich. Had it been my late husband made it made it as a herbalist when he was STILL ALIVE.
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT CASE.
>> [laughter] >> BUT MY LATE HUSBAND died a poor herbalist.
Now you expect me to allow my son take after his father as a herbalist?
It will not be possible. I will not live to see it. Not under my own watch.
[snorts] I will not. We are not the same.
We all have different destiny.
Just pray and support him. Please.
It's okay.
The fever has subsided. Oh, thank you so much.
When he wakes up, give him something light to eat.

Okay. After eating, I'll come back and give him another medicine.

Who?
The herbalist.
What are you saying?
Are you serious? For real?
I'm serious.
Sis. What?
>> [laughter] >> I don't understand you. How?
How can you love a commoner?
That poor thing. How? Well, that poor thing seems to be sweet. I mean, sweeter than all the rich guys that I have dated in my past.
Since you that I know you, never been interested in any man.
Yes, you're right. And I am so surprised about that.
But you see, you all agree with me that there is something about that guy.
That guy is so irresistible.
I've not taken my eyes off him since he stepped his feet into this path.
I just feel some type of way about him.
Wait.
You are serious?
I am 100% serious.
The guy is sweet now. Can't you see?
Sis, you really need a doctor to check on you.
What is wrong? You're right.
Unfortunately for me, this guy is an herbalist. So, I'm going to have him check on me, but in an hour.
Jesus.
You amaze me.
Come on. [clears throat] You should be happy for me.
You should. I finally pick interest in a man. Something to celebrate now. Yes.
Yes, and congratulation in advance.
Thank you. And as for him, I know how to go about it.
I'll get him. I trust you.
>> [music] >> Easy, that hurts.
Is that Huh?
Hello, Metua.
Uh he's okay. He's okay.
You see, my son-in-law, I want you to understand this.
It is not easy.
I want you to be patient with her.
Hm?
It is not always wonderful at the beginning, but with time, everything will adjust.
Hm.
Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Calm down. Huh?
It will be all right. Hm.
It will be all right.
Uh uh give her the phone.
Madam, what is it?
Huh? What is it?
Remember where you come from.
Hm?
And one important thing, remember that this man has paid your bride price and paid everything in full.
Huh?
If not for any other thing, learn how to respect and care for him.
Hm?
Learn how to respect.
Care for him.
Yes, that is what I am telling you.
I don't want any objections.
Huh?
Please, I don't want him to call me back complaining about you again.
Is that It's all right. Whatever is the case, it's all right. It's all right. It's all right.
Thank you.
>> [music] >> It seems like the princess is in love with the herbalist.
Who shall be princess's?
Princess Uju?
Mhm.
That guy is so lucky.
Do you know what it means for a princess to be in love with a commoner?
He's not going to marry her.
And how did you know that?
Because royalty always marry royalty or someone even richer.
Well, you are right.
One never can tell.
If the princess is in love with him, she don't mind marrying him.
With the way the princess was sounding after I was in the room, it is obvious she has fallen head over heels already.
He's over it?
How sure are you?
>> [music] [music] [music] >> Where are you coming from?
I I went out for a smoke. I was cold, so I went to keep myself warm.
But it's hot tonight.
How come you're smoking when the weather is hot?
Well, I don't care.
I don't know.
I was cold. That's why I went out to smoke.
Hello, mama.
I thought she stopped smoking.
You know mama doesn't like this part of you.
I don't get it.
Why are you questioning me?
I said I was cold and I went to smoke to keep myself warm.
I don't care what mama thinks.
Good night.
Good night.
>> [music] [cough] >> Are you okay?
>> [music] >> How are you feeling?
>> [music] [music] >> Having gist is trouble.
I was just coming coming out from the herbalist's room now here.
And I saw a bottle of wine with two glasses.
Which means the herbalist spent the night with someone.
Mhm. Really?
Who could that be?
Mhm.
But are you not the one that said Princess Suju isn't Zuju is interested in him? Oh, oh, oh, oh, that's true.
Yeah, wow.
So Princess Zuju him, she did not even wait before making advances and sleeping with him. Okay.
Wow.
I don't blame her though because that guy is too handsome to resist.
Handsome.
Things they happen. Things they happen.
Yes.
He was throwing up last night.
Was he throwing up much?
No.
Not really much.
Then I asked him how he was feeling.
He answered with a nod.
The throwing up is not a good sign for him.
>> [snorts] >> I need to rush to the forest now to get more herbs. I'll drive you.
No, don't worry. I can go my own.
>> No, no, I want to go with you. I'll drive you very close to the forest. I'll wait for you there while you enter the forest.
Please.
Don't say no. Are you sure you want to do all that? Please.
>> [music] >> I must ask you this. Where is the Where is my mother?
She went out with the herbalist.
Herbalist? Yes, my princess.
Why?
I don't know. Maybe he went out to get something.
And my mother followed him.
It's fine.
Your medicine.
Okay.
How about this?
Right.
Greetings, my princess.
I'm not too happy to see you, my princess.
Okay, where is he? He's outside.
Outside again? Yes, my princess.
Your medicine. Thank you, my princess.
Outside again.
>> [music] >> Hi.
Why won't you like to come inside instead of always asking me to come to you here?
The king is sick and And you do not want to see him because he's sick? No.
I don't want to disturb you.
Besides, I came to go out with you.
Well, I am not in the mood.
Princess, I've already discussed with my parents about you.
Let's go and meet them.
I will meet them when I am ready.
Princess, why are you doing this to me?
What's going on?
Who is he? Excuse me? Yes.
I need to know who is this guy.
I need to know who has suddenly taken your attention away from me.
Well, Nnache, I am not ready to have such conversation with you.
If you are done talking, get out.
My princess, princess!
>> [music] >> Mummy, who's there? You're back.
Yeah.
Olamide told me you went with the herbalist to get some herbs. Yes.
Mom, that's funny.
I did that just to make everything easier and faster for him. Wait, did you drive him there yourself? Yes.
And what about it?
Mom, we have guards and drivers that would have done that.
Why stress yourself that much?
I need to buy a sense of confidence and belonging in that boy.
We need to make him happy for him to do the job he was called here for.
If following him to the forest will make him be at his best, Ojuwa, I will do it.
Um, that's okay. Just I was surprised when I heard that. Oh.
Oh my god. What? Akeze. He's been here.
He's been looking for you. Mama, you should go see him.
>> Really? Where is he? He's downstairs.
He's been asking for you. Oh my god. Let me see him at once. All right.
>> [music] >> How is the king, Maya?
Oh, he's getting better.
Thanks to God for the herbalist.
He's doing a great job on our king. And I am so happy about it.
That's great.
I'm happy to hear this.
I will relate to the boy's mother so that she will be sure that the boy's stay in the palace is guaranteed.
And if peradventure he restores the king's health back, then he will be rewarded with royalty.
Exactly what is on my mind. I am somehow positive about this whole thing.
I believe where others have failed, he will succeed.
>> Oh, yeah. Yeah, I pray so. He should succeed.
It seems you like this young man so much, my queen.
>> [laughter] >> He is good at what he does.
Yes. Very good.
Very, very good.
>> [laughter] [gasps] [music] >> Hey, handsome.
How are you?
Princess, I'm fine.
What are you doing?
I'm preparing a local medicine for the king.
Tell me about this.
How did you learn all of this? Because I'm certain you weren't working with your father when he was a herbalist.
Yes, I never worked with my father, but at the same time I was I was observant. I was watching everything.
Okay. And you know it's a gift.
So, no matter the delay, it must manifest.
All I needed was visit another herbalist that brushed me up.
I see.
It's actually a great talent, and you are so fit for the job.
Fit for the job?
No young man of my age and stage be proud to say he is a herbalist.
I guess this is a stepping stone for you.
Yes.
So, tell me, did you miss me?
I mean, did you miss talking to me?
Of course I did.
Okay, tell me everything that you want to tell me cuz I know you want to tell me something.
I will, but let me finish preparing this local medicine for the king.
I can actually stay here.
Yeah, I'll help you out.
What do you want me to do for you?
No, don't worry.
I'll see you once I'm done, okay? Are you sure? Yes.
Are you sure?
100%.
I've missed talking to you and I want to talk with you.
See you soon.
Okay.
I'll be inside.
Be fast.
>> [music] >> All right, love.
>> [music] [singing] >> What's wrong dear?
You've been moody ever since you entered here.
What is going on?
My queen, I'm not happy.
I'm not happy at all.
Princess Salome is not being fair to me with her treatment.
I don't understand.
She doesn't listen to me.
She doesn't go out with me.
She don't even visit me.
But she told me you guys went out the other day.
That's not true.
She's lying to you.
Yes, she's not been fair to me.
She's not.
The other day I even told her my parents are expected to see her.
But she told me she's not interested.
My friend, I don't understand what's going on. I don't know.
I don't know why she suddenly changed towards me.
I don't know.
I am surprised hearing this from you.
I'll talk to her, okay?
Please do.
Because I don't understand what's going on anymore.
She doesn't love me or care about me anymore.
Please help me.
But My [snorts] queen, please, I would like to ask you something.
Go ahead.
Um is she seeing someone else?
No.
Not to my knowledge.
My daughter has never dated any other man outside you, and she has no reason to do so.
My dear, come here.
Calm down.
Like I said, I will talk to her, okay?
Okay. You can go home now. Okay, no problem. No problem. Please help me.
Thank you, my queen.
Do you know that Jada did you went out with the queen?
I was told she took him to the forest to get some herbs.
Get some herbs as what? As an apprentice?
Is she learning work?
My dear, that woman is interested in that guy. She's interested in the herbalist.
I know what I'm saying. Don't say that.
Don't say that, Sandra. The king cannot be alive and the queen will be sleeping around. Don't say that.
The king is very much alive. Who?
Someone that is barely hanging on to life. The man is dead. He's gone.
They're only using herbs to buy him some time. That's all.
Go, Sandra. Let's not jump into conclusions.
>> Okay.
Honestly, that guy dey hot. For three ladies to be in love with him, man, that guy is really hot.
He might be innocent.
He may not even be aware that they are all having sleepless nights for him. He might not even be interested in them.
I beg, leave that thing.
I hear you.
Okay.
Mother, that idiot had no right to come running to you. HE HAD NO RIGHT.
IDIOT?
NNEOMA, since when did you start using harsh words on him?
Come on, that boy has done nothing.
I don't like the way you are treating him, like he means nothing to you.
>> YES, MOTHER. HE MEANS NOTHING TO ME.
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
NNEOMA, WHAT has gotten into you?
Listen to me. He has done nothing wrong.
I have seen nothing serious that he has done TO DESERVE THIS. MOM, THIS GUY, [screaming] I AM SICK AND TIRED OF HIM.
FOR GOODNESS SAKE, HE NAGS TOO MUCH.
HE MAKES DEMANDS AND IF I DO not fulfill it, he comes running TO YOU LIKE A CHILD.
Nneoma Chukwu, calm down.
Okay?
Let it go.
That young man is a nice man and from a rich family.
It has its advantages.
I am glad you came, Ichiye Akeze. How is the king today?
Alive. I was just coming from the palace.
You were coming from the palace? Mhm, yes. And the king is alive?
He's alive.
Very much alive.
What's going on?
I am glad he's alive.
I used to track him in the spirits realm.
But right now I can no longer track him.
I lost track of him.
Lost track of him? He's alive?
He is doing very well.
In fact, that herbalist boy is doing a great [music] work in the palace there. He's doing the work he was sent there to do.
I am relieved. Why did you lost track of him in the spirits [music] realm?
I don't know.
I used to monitor him in the spirits realm.
But all of a sudden I no longer see him in my trance.
I am glad he's alive.
Akeze, gods have a reason for doing that.
Though it's strange.
What is going on in this palace?
The queen wants me.
Two princesses are interested in me at the same time.
What am I supposed to do now?
And the pressure and temptation is getting out of hand.
>> [music] [music and singing] >> I saw the young man.
And he's really really handsome.
Yes, and that's the reason I developed interest you know, in being with him.
But Natasha, I don't know how awkward it may sound that I'm in love with that boy.
That means cheating on my husband, the king.
Cheating on your husband you say? Mhm. I did you say the doctor confirmed? He's going to join the ancestors.
Yes, the more reason the herbalist was brought to ease his pain while he his death draws closer by the day. Very good then.
Let him go.
Okay.
Let him go.
Your life can start because your husband is sick.
I believe this will make you very very happy.
Right? Yes.
Oh.
Natasha, I don't know how to go about it. I am so ashamed to to Have you told him about your feelings?
No.
Not yet. I'm still I'm still gathering courage. But I am so ashamed of myself. How Ashamed of what?
You have to tell him you love him.
Express yourself to this guy.
You know what? This guy is so cute. He's so handsome.
I used to admire him.
You know this guy will treat you nicely.
You know what you want. Don't be afraid.
I know what you like.
Give him a chance.
Tell him you love him.
Just give him a chance.
Give him a chance.
Think about it.
My queen, thank you so much.

Please, talk to me.
I think it's stupid.
Do you know that as I was cleaning the herbalist's room the queen came in and asked something herbalist. I told her that the herbalist went out with her daughter. She got angry.
You need to see the anger on her face.
That means the queen is also interested in him.
It has been confirmed.
She even warned her other daughter not to get close to the herbalist.
This is the happy for this palace. She was very upset and disappointed. Very.

And I feel glad that this man feels the same way for me.
And it's no other person but >> [music] >> your herbalist.
It's fine, right?
It's quite unfortunate that Mother can even support me.

>> [laughter] >> But I wish you could talk to me.
I I >> [laughter] >> I just wish someone could understand me.

I'm fine.
Good.
I brought my sister. [snorts] Good day.
I want to see you.
I got this for you.
This is to apologize for what Onatse did earlier on.
I told him never to repeat such act again.
You know, I've always told him that I am no longer interested in him, but he wouldn't listen.
>> [clears throat] >> Uh that's okay, my princess. You shouldn't have bothered yourself.
>> Oh, it's nothing. It's just a little way of apologizing to you.
And stop calling me a princess. My name is Olamma.
Mhm?
Olamma I meant Olamma princess. Sorry, Olamma. I'm a born-again Christian.
Really? Listen, ever since you stepped your feet into [music] this palace, I've always had eyes on you. I have loved you. I want you. I want your body. I want everything in you.
>> What about your sister?
>> Forget about my sister.
Princess, [music] calm down.
Forget about [singing] her. Think about me.
Come on.
>> [music] >> Princess. What?
What I don't understand is why would the princess leave a rich guy like Ojo?
For that habit of his. [music] Adora, eh? Hello.
I think the guy is [clears throat] fine.
He's fine?
We'll find out. Give you food.
Eh?
Obviously not me. It's not me, Sandra, because I will never ever settle for a poor man. It's not possible. I'm allergic to poor men.
>> [laughter] >> It's possible. Sandra.
Sandra, [snorts] maybe there's something that attracted those ladies to that guy.
Because they're really English, and they can't be impressed by money. It's only foolishness that they are attracted to. Mhm, nothing else. You can't tell me otherwise. Mhm.
Let Donatus look my way a little bit.
They're just bad thoughts.
I will take care of him.
The guy is rich. That's what we are talking about. Rich man. Sandra, keep dreaming. Okay.
No problem. Both of you are in this palace, and you will see it with your eyes. You people are acting like fools, like morons. All of you women, you people, you don't know anything. That's why I'm allergic to both of you because you people are poor. Your sense is poor.
Your shoes are poor. YOUR CLOTHES ARE POOR. EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU PEOPLE ARE POOR.
OH.
YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE.
ADORA, WHERE ARE YOU COMING FROM?
I WAS ABOUT coming to that room to look for you.
I went out for a smoke. Yeah, and this is your smoke. And that reminds me, I saw you carrying a letter when you were coming in. I can't find any of it in the room. Where is it?
It was something I bought for the guards. I've given it to them already.
They're gifts.
Gifts?
For the guards? Yes. Ah.
You did try you.
Well done. Come on, Uji. These people they work so hard in protecting our lives.
So, buying them gifts is nothing.
Mhm.
You're right, sha. What I am saying >> Anyways, thank you for doing that on our behalf. Mhm. You should do that, too.
Yes.
Okay. Good.
>> I hear you.
Why are you [screaming] not sleeping?
Sleep is so far away from me.
Wait. You mean Onochie, my boyfriend, asked you to spy on me?
My princess.
Yes.
He asked me to spy on you.
And I was tempted to answer him that you are seeing another man.
What?
You were tempted to do what? What did you do?
Huh? I I told him the truth, BUT WHAT TRUTH? WHAT DID YOU TELL HIM? SPEAK!
AH, MY PRINCESS. It is no longer a secret that you're having something to do with the happiness of Shh. What What's What's wrong with you?
Come closer.
Are you mad?
Are you crazy? Why would you say that?
Where did you hear that from? Mhm?
Now, listen to me. Come closer to me.
If you tell my mother, OR MY SISTER, OR ANYBODY IN THE PALACE, I'LL DEAL WITH YOU.
What did I say?
You will deal with me. WHAT DID I SAY?
You will deal with me. What will I do with you?
If you do WHAT? WHAT IS THE THING you said?
Oh, okay. Okay. Huh.
If it's someone, your secret is safe with me.
Yes.
Say me all that secret that you want for me to keep for you. I'm good at keeping secret. I'll keep it. Oh, yes. There's another secret. Come closer. The secret of your death. I am going to kill you if you tell everybody about this. Get lost.
Okay. Get out. Okay, my friend.
>> [screaming] >> HOW DID SHE FIND OUT?
HOW HOW DID SHE find out about this?
My mother doesn't want me to continue this relationship with you.
She thinks I'm beneath you and shouldn't date you.
That has always been my share.
I don't want trouble.
I'm not sure this will work. Listen, Emeka. Same beds.
This is going to work whether my mother likes it or not.
In that case, we have to keep it on a low.
I have to make it secret.
Why should I do that?
My sister has a man.
My mother is married to my father.
If there is anyone in this house who needs a man, it's me.
And I've chosen you, Emeka.
You're the one I want.
Nothing is stopping this this relationship. Not even my mother, the queen.
Except you're not interested in me. Of course I'm interested in you.
But at the same time, I don't want to have issues with your mom.
What is this?
I saw this bag in my room before.
Your sister got them for me.
>> [music] [music] >> It's just It's just a harmless gift.
And she didn't tell me.
Why did you lie to me?
Lie to you? I don't You told me the gift you bought was for the guard.
But that is for my man, Odumegwu Ojukwu.
What was that for? Oh.
You went TO HIS >> ANSWER MY QUESTION, PLEASE. HOW DO YOU THINK I FOUND OUT?
OKAY.
FINE. I'll tell you.
Well, I got him the gift considering what Onoche did to him.
You got my man a gift?
Considering I don't understand. What are you talking about?
Onoche was here the other day and he met Odumegwu Ojukwu.
I don't know what transpired between them.
But Onoche slapped him.
>> WHAT?
THAT IDIOT SLAPPED my man?
I DON'T FOR WHAT? [screaming] CALM DOWN, SIS. WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHY WOULD HE DO THAT TO HIM? FOR WHAT? HOW DARE HE?
LOOK, I'M GOING TO DEAL WITH THAT.
THAT'S THAT.
IT'S A PROMISE. SIS, RELAX. I AM VERY SURE that he will not do it again. He had better not.
And please, stop calling that young man your man.
You're belittling your status. Odumegwu Ojukwu is my man.
And it stays that way.
>> [music] >> He is too poor for you.
He's a nobody.
>> [music] >> The herbalist is doing a great job.
His spirit is fine and well aligned with his body. Oh.
>> [laughter] >> I'm relieved to hear this from you.
Oh.
So nice.
The young herbalist is doing a great job.
It means that he took after his father.
Wow.
He's your good father.
That's great.
Oh.
If it is their will, they will raise the king from this bed.
Because only the ancestors have the power to do that. Oh.
That's great.
They should do it.
They should do it.
Find out who the person is.
There's no way I can do that, because she talks to the person only on the phone. Access her phone. Go through her phone. Check the number. Send it to me.
Ah.
Sir, that one will be very difficult, though. It will be difficult for me to do.
It will not be difficult. I will pay.
Yes.
I will be needing enough money, because this very one is is difficult.
No problem.
I'm going to give you money, enough money, okay? Okay.
That's the only way. That's the only way.

Sandra, of course. Sandra?
Obviously.
Maybe she didn't get all this money from Oh my god. So Sandra has started stealing from the palace. So she's stealing from the palace.
Should we report her to the queen?
Let us wait for her to come and explain how she got all this money from.
Ah.
I feel like reporting her to the queen.
See, Sandra is nobody's friend. She has SAID IT BEFORE THAT WE ARE ON OUR OWN.
I know, but see, let us wait for her to come and explain how she got all this money.
This girl is a thief.
>> [snorts] >> My queen, did you see the young man I sent to come and meet you?
I am not interested in any other man.
Ha, my queen.
I thought you said you wanted another guy.
Cuz you don't have seem to be interested in your man.

The truth is that I can't find any other man attractive other than this um herbalist boy.

So, that's the new job description, abi?
Oh.

Maybe it's because we decided to hear from you first before reporting it to the queen. That's why you are acting this way.

Bad energy, evil eyes. People will start It doesn't matter. It doesn't. They can only talk, but doesn't change the fact that we are together.

It's okay, Ikwuano. My father has ruined me.
He has ruined my life.
>> [snorts] >> I almost lost my life, Mama.
Because I was forced to marry a man I don't want to.
>> [laughter and gasps] >> My daughter, you don't have to be angry.
Your father was doing what he thought was right for you.
He wants the best for you.
>> [snorts] >> Who? He pushed me to the house of a ritualist, Mama.
Your father didn't know he's a ritualist. He wouldn't have handed you over to him.
Who? Because [laughter] I was lucky.
>> [snorts] >> I ran with my life.
Mama, he came and arrested my father, claiming he kidnapped me.
That is insane.
How could he do a thing like that?
Look, [laughter] we have to report him to the elders now, even though the leader is not stable, but I know the elders will take care of him.
Mama, you need to help me.
He has no right to take my father away.
>> Don't you worry. Don't worry, I will do that for you. Trust me.
Stop crying.
So, Mama, where to?
Where is Mr. Emeka?
>> [snorts] >> Mr. Emeka now works at the palace.
At the palace?
As what?
My queen, I have good news.
Really? Yes.
The king is getting better.
Oh, well, that's that's that's good.
Very good.
Um, but but I woke up this morning and saw him coughing and almost choking.
And that's part of the sign.
It shows he's healing.
The gods have done well. Oh, yes. Yes.
Um, excuse me.
What happened last night?
Waited for you, but you didn't come.
I slept like a baby.
I even forgot that we had an arrangement last night.
Could it be the mixture that you gave me?
No, the mixture was for high libido, not for sleep.
Um, but can we see Emeka?
Sure.
Let's go.
>> [music] >> Sanaja, listen, you are a very big risk that can get you into trouble or even get you killed.
Exactly. If that guy finds us here, we'll be playing with him. He's going to deal with you.
He's not going to do anything.
Nothing.
As rich and sensible as that guy is, he's supposed to know when to back off.
But, no. He decided to fool himself.
He came on for a lady that is not even interested in him.
Me?
As he's not sensible enough to know when to back off, I've decided to take advantage of it.
Mugu fall, maga collect. And you think you're smart? Yes, I'm smart. You're playing a very risky game, oh Sandra.
You see why I can't roll with both of you.
You guys You guys are not You're not 100. You're not 100.
See, richness is for the risk takers, and only someone like me can do it.
Sandra, don't say I didn't warn you. Don't warn me. Try me out.
Yes.
Look at that thing I beg.
Listen, what is it you want me to do now?
I want to make this relationship permanent.
There is no way we can be together till if the king is still alive.
Monalisa, I normally satisfy you anytime you want.
So, once it comes to sex, I will I've got your back and I'll always satisfy you. That's the problem. What? That is it.
I can't continue hiding or doing things with you in secrecy.
I want to make everything official.
And that is why I I want you to kill the king.
You want me to kill the king? Yes. No.
Can't you see we cannot be together if he's still alive?
Kill him.
Kill the king and then how do we go?
No.
Listen.
You know, as much as we are doing this, don't forget I'm a native doctor.
There are things I will never do. Else I will bring cause upon myself. [music] Example, killing person. No.
It's against what I stand for. So, please, I can't kill the king.
>> [music] >> Mother, I've considered my relationship with Ojukwu and I've decided to marry him.
>> [music] >> Marry him?
Are you all right?
Yes, my dear sister.
I am doing perfectly well.
At this point, I'm going to marry Ojukwu and nothing will happen.
I don't care what people will say or what anybody is going to say about it.
I will marry him and that's final.
Did I not tell you my position about your relationship with that boy?
I said it is not going to work and that's on period.
>> Mother, your position does not matter in this issue.
It's my life we're talking about. The only thing that matters is what I want.
And I said I love Ojukwu and I want to marry him.
You can't stop or resist me from being with the man that I chose to be.
And more than all, you don't have the right. You don't, really.
Well, I have the right and every right to decide what happens in your life.
Did you get that?
What is your problem?
Why do you want to bring shame into this family?
Are you okay? ARE YOU MAD?
>> ENOUGH!
I AM YOUR OLDER sister and I will not have you insult me.
And if I don't, what will you do?
What will you do?
Oluoma.
Are you trying to insult me or what? And I will do it again.
Oluoma, you will insult me again? STOP IT! STOP IT!
STOP!
>> [music] >> STOP!
>> [music] >> I'M HERE TO SEE ULYSSEMEKA.
NOBODY bears that name here.
I think she's talking about the herbalist. Yes, I was told he works here now as a herbalist. Do you want to see him? Yes.
The king drinks from the cup of life.
His life unfolding [music] like a morning flower.
I'm happy [music] now.
That's a good news.
Oh.
Then I will go and let the counselors know immediately.
>> [music] >> Yes.
Because I've not seen such a thing before.
Indeed, I must praise the gods of our ancestors for sparing the life of our great king, Makanonye Chianebulo.
We never die. Indeed, I am so delighted.
The gods are wise.
>> [music] >> Thanks to the gods.
Mistress.
What are you doing here?
I I missed you.
I missed you, too, but I heard you got married. I'm happy for you, though.
The marriage is over.
Why?
I knew that I knew it's not going to work out.
Well, you need a man that can take care of you.
My cousin is a ritualist.
How did you find out? He tried to kill me.
Yes.
And I run for my life.
I'm back in my father's house.
Life hasn't been fair to me.
I don't even know what to say.
>> [music] [music] >> War don't start. War don't start between the two princesses.
What did they tell them?
You mean both of them are fighting because of the herbalist? Yeah, I'm telling you. I have always known that this will happen. How can two sisters suddenly be interested in the same man?
Two sisters.
You're saying two sisters?
That's old gist. The new gist is that their mother is also involved.
And I don't know how they will feel when they find out about their mother's involvement.
This one will be war without end.
They learn.
This is not a laughing matter.
>> [laughter] >> It is so sad to discover what they have done these palaces. I just wish the herbalist of a guy would just go.
You wish.
It is your wish.
But it is my own wish that he stays.
Allow them all to begin He needs to stay back to my own advantage. Yolanda.
This one is not fair.
I'm not the one chasing herbalist.
It's the princesses and EVEN THE QUEEN.
>> [laughter] >> SODOM AND GOMORRAH.
TO MY OWN ADVANTAGE.
Why are you doing this to me?
Why?
Here I am ready to give you the whole world, but you prefer a riffraff.
What are you talking about?
Oh, you think I don't know the guy behind your sudden loss of interest in me?
Yes, I know him. But I do not know what you're talking about.
What exactly are you saying?
What I'm saying is that he is not even as rich as I am.
He is so cheap and dubious at the same time.
>> Watch your words, Onoche.
Watch it.
Oh.
I know what I'm talking about.
If he is not dubious, why would he collect money from me to leave you? I yet still went on talking to you just to take your mind off Onoche, um if I really do not know you, I would have said you are mad.
You are not making any sense.
What are you saying?
Who collected money from you or you gave money for who to leave who? What are you saying? I don't understand.
Princess, are you saying that I'm lying?
BUT I BUT >> [screaming] >> WHAT?
BUT WHAT?
ONOCHE, I am going to say this for the last time, and I will not repeat myself again.
Stay away from me.
I am not interested in you.
Is it too much for you to understand?
Christ.
>> [music] >> Mhm. Mhm.
And the gods, the elders intervene and threaten the lives of his parents.
That was why he let me go.
>> [snorts] [clears throat] >> I'm so sorry. He used the police to do all this to me.
>> [snorts] >> His intention was for me to die in detention Mhm? after suffering from harsh treatment.
Can you imagine that?
I'm so sorry for everything. I'm sorry.
Ah, you don't have to be. I am the one to be sorry for everything.
Who would believe that Igozie is a ritualist?
Mhm?
I am wrong in pushing you into his hands. So, I am the one to be blamed.
>> [snorts] >> All right.
Papa.
You did what any other father out there would have done for their child. Ah, no, no, no, no, no, no. I did not do anything like that.
Mhm.
Every other father would have considered the happiness and safety of their daughter.
But, I didn't consider yours.
I was very selfish and stupid in pushing you into that marriage. And I think I deserve all the pains I am getting now.
It's okay, Papa. Ah, yes.
It's okay.
Don't go. Don't go there again. Mhm.
Don't worry. He will suffer for everything he has done to you. Then the rebel, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha. He will suffer. Mhm.
But, Papa. Mhm. Let me take you to um the chemist down there. So, they can dress your wound. Mhm.
Ah, I will be all right. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. O for your police I ready kill all of them. Oh, yeah, cool. That is if I get that man. Mhm.
Then the rebel, then the man.
>> [music] >> How dare you?
You think you can swindle me of my money AND GO SCOT-FREE? [laughter] YOU LIED TO ME.
YOU MADE me believe you were dating the princess, whereas she doesn't even know you from anywhere.
You lied to me.
>> [laughter] [clears throat] [laughter] >> I feel so terrible having such evil thoughts in my mind.
My queen You're trying to protect your happiness.
So, I see nothing wrong [clears throat] in what you said. Nat Natasha It's an abomination for me to conceive such idea of murdering my husband. Not just my husband, the king of this great kingdom.
All because of that [laughter] mere analyst boy.
No.
But you said this young boy gives you happiness.
See, people can go any length to seek happiness. Like we, what should you own be different? But he said he's not going to do it.
I can't force You can't see me. Gosh.
Oh, but I still can't do this to me.
Buhari, God forbid.
I cannot.
See.
I will never ever have myself taking life.
I cannot do it.
May the gods forbid.
There are certain things I can't see myself doing.
And murder is certainly one of them.
My queen.
Then you're not ready for this happiness. You're so sick.
Yes.
>> [music] >> My queen.
I'll be leaving this palace in the [music] next few days.
Why?
The king is recovering.
But you can't leave. That's not our plan.
I don't understand.
I don't want you to go. I want you to stay. I told you I want to have something permanent with you.
But the king is still alive. It doesn't matter. We can still have something outside the palace. I just don't want to lose you in my life.
>> [snorts] >> I don't even know what to say. Just say yes to my proposal and I will give you the world. Which world?
The one you promised me last time we've not even done it. Let me do it. ASAP.
Yeah?
ASAP.
Yes. Hey, you're a queen. Why are you using such language? What's ASAP?

>> [snorts] >> Doctor.
There's a mistake somewhere.
I am already in my menopause.
How is that possible?
My queen, you are in your menopause does not mean that you cannot conceive.
There are some people who give birth successfully after entering menopause.
How can this be possible?
Me, being pregnant?
I know.
No, doctor.
Doctor, I can't believe this.
Nothing is impossible, my queen.
There are rare cases of people who give birth after menopause.
My queen, you're 3 weeks gone.
3 weeks?
Huh.
Thank you, doctor. Thank you, my queen.
Thank you.
I can't find the herbalist boy.
Did you see him?
No.
Um I called you you both for the for the meeting.
There's something I want to tell you about Mr. Maker.
And I have something to discuss about him, too.
You see, um I've had eyes on him for a long time now.
Yes.
I wanted him to be my boyfriend.
Since your father is too weak to satisfy me, I decided to like get my satisfaction from the herbalist boy.
Mother, please can you just go straight to the point cuz I don't understand what you're saying? I know this will sound odd to you girls, but I'm actually telling you the truth.
So, since your father cannot satisfy me, I want to get my satisfaction from Olisemeka.
I know it might sound so odd to you girls, but I I have already discussed this with him.
Mother, what are you talking about? What are you saying? What kind of English ARE YOU SPEAKING?
OLISEMEKA is mine, a new boy. MOTHER, PEOPLE JUST STOP.
STOP IT.
I CALLED YOU BOTH for a reason.
>> [sighs] >> Yes.
I know we all are interested in Olisemeka.
That is why I took this bold step to make him mine.
You took a bold step to make him yours?
What is that supposed to mean?
>> I am pregnant, and Olisemeka is the father.
Oh my dad, can't be. [clears throat] It's not true.
You're pregnant FOR OLISEMEKA? YES.

I love you.
>> [music] >> He's my husband.
>> [music] >> Please forgive me.
>> [laughter] [music] >> Please.
I know you were there when I did the dirty notes.
I know you have been stressed because of my illness.
But if I got to understand that what ever stress you must spread your life.
Why won't you allow me to join my ancestors before you clock to another man?
What a shame.
Please, my love.
I know I have brought shame and disgrace to this great kingdom, but please forgive me.
Forgive me. It will never happen again.
Just give me a second chance, please.

But yet, you have to forgive them.
Mhm?
You know you were already on the cusp of death before my queen made a mistake.
And please, temper justice with mercy.
You can go ahead and punish them.
But don't throw them away.
They are your blood.
Don't do that.
We are grateful to the gods for keeping him alive for us.
And even shaming the enemies for us.
But as for that boy THAT YOUNG MAN THAT HERBALIST THAT DID THIS calamity in your household.
We will find him.
And we will punish him. He will pay for what he did in this family. No, he will not go scot-free, my king.
Did you say no?
I will not do such thing.
I will not punish the man the gods have used to restore back my life.
Have you forgotten?
No one is drawn into the river until he gets close to it.
If there is someone to punish it is my wife and children.
But as for the boy I allow the judgments to be for the gods.
He's my husband.
Please.
Please [laughter] forgive us.
Please forgive us.
Please forgive us.
