In traditional African societies, blood oaths taken during betrothal ceremonies create binding supernatural obligations that can force individuals into marriages regardless of personal feelings, as demonstrated when a young woman is compelled to marry the king due to a blood oath between her father and the king, despite her initial refusal and the existence of a blood oath that could theoretically allow her to escape the marriage.

And And when I walked in on them, he stood there saying nothing and doing nothing.
Why does he keep treating me this way?
>> Now, stop crying.
You know I hate to see you like this.
Stop crying. Oh, stop it.
>> Why does he keep treating me this way?
>> Doesn't he care that I'll be his wife soon?
>> Of course he cares. I am sure he was seduced by that good for nothing maid.
>> No, Lo, it wasn't her fault. If he had any respect for me, he wouldn't stoop solo. I can't marry a man who doesn't have any standard.
Look my child, I understand that you're very angry, but let's not be stupid here. This is not an ordinary marriage.
You are going to become the queen soon, and you know what that means.
>> But the kid doesn't care about me, and I despise his arrogance.

The fate of this kingdom depends on the success of this marriage.
What about me?

>> I am disappointed in you.
Disappointed in what happened between you and my yesterday.
What were you thinking sleeping with a mate?
>> Father, the question should be what was she doing in my chamber?
SHE IS NO.
>> She bashed you like she owns the place.
>> She is your future wife and therefore she has THE RIGHT TO BAD or come into your chamber.
>> Not yet future wife. She is not yet my wife.
>> Can you just for once reason with yourself? You know how important it is for this marriage to happen.
The kingdom is depending on you.
Can you just for once forget your miserable life? Miserable what?
>> Yes. Yes. And and forget being a selfish man.
>> Did you just say I am miserable?
Father, you called me miserable.
>> You ask me.
>> Oh well. Will that be all father?
>> Yes father I am living >> beautiful again.
Hey you do not follow me.
Do not my king.
That was rather harsh if you ask me.
The truth must be said.
bing.
N look at your food. Oh, you've refused to eat.
Nelly nie where is she? Lo she has packed all her things and run away.
My lord, where is she? Nie, how dare you?
How dare you do this?
What if you had fallen into the hands of our enemies? Why do you think the king assigned a maiden to you himself? DON'T YOU KNOW HOW VALUABLE YOU ARE? ANSWER ME, >> FATHER. PLEASE, I do not want to marry the king.
>> Please do not make me marry him.
>> What an ungrateful child you are. Don't you know it is a great privilege for you to be chosen among all the maidens in this kingdom to become the next queen?
>> What if I don't want to be a queen?
>> Then you are a bigger fool.
I just I just want to be left alone in peace.
>> You keep your mouth.
>> I [snorts] want to live a normal life.
>> How can a lion beget beget a goat? Is it possible?
>> My this is I am sorry. Oh, I'll fix this awkwardly.
Come on. Come on.
Yeah. [music] Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Oh, [music] [singing] we are.
Why are you just coming? I waited for you last night.
>> I couldn't come out without being seen.
>> I haven't heard from you in a while now.
And I'm running out of patience. When are you moving to the palace?
>> I don't know, but soon.
>> That's not good enough. Dick needs to pay for what he did to me. And he needs to pay now.
>> He will. And you know she cannot move into the palace before the marriage ceremony.
>> What?
>> And lately she's been having a lot of doubt. She doesn't want to be with him.
>> That's not good.
She just have to marry him. She has to marry him for that's the only way we can get close enough and make him pay.
>> And she will. Her parents are getting impatient. So they want this marriage to work more than we do. Okay.
Okay. Please just let me do your part.
Please.
>> You are my last hope. Please. You need to leave right now before anybody.
>> I will.
You can see [snorts] straight from the hills of Abani.
[laughter] The best of the best.
>> You're right.
Mhm.
So Ajani, I know you didn't just come here to bring me wine from Abani. [laughter] You know me too well, your highness.
>> Then talk to me.
[clears throat] Um your highness, my daughter Nimma, just like every other young girl in her age, is growing restless.
And I'm afraid she need to settle down now else she will never be tamed.
the cost of having a daughter.
>> You don't know how much you are loved by the gods but for giving you sons. You don't know.
>> Then I must be crazy for longing for a daughter still.
>> I'm afraid you have to settle for a granddaughter.
[laughter] Your highness, how soon can the dia perform the marriage rights?
I need it now. I want it happen.
A my friend, you know, if it was in my hands, they would have been married.
But for that to happen, DK must be initiated in the indurable brotherhood.
Then and only then will he be seen as a man in the eyes of the gods.
I understand the tradition, your highness, but you are the king.
If you order the marriage to happen now, it will.
I can't rewrite tradition. Not anymore.
I understand.
>> Let me make this promise to you. DK must be initiated in the next ceremony of brotherhood.
It's a promise. [snorts] H thank you very much your highness.
Thank you. [laughter] You're welcome.
[snorts] >> Are you You're leaving this behind for me?
>> It's yours. It's all yours. [laughter] [music] >> [music] >> What kind of herbs and spices have you been mixing all day?
Why do you suddenly smell like my son?
I can never fool you, [laughter and snorts] can I?
>> I know you too well.
>> Greetings, mother.
>> Greetings, my son.
>> How are you?
>> I am well. Where are you off to?
>> I am going to the forest to pick herbs.
>> Then you should let one of the guats accompany you >> and draw attention to myself. No, I prefer this way.
>> I will be back before you know it.
>> That's okay. May the gods protect you for me, my son. [laughter] Go well.
Go well.
I think what kind of prince picks heads and mixes potions?
Huh?
Adam, I'm hungry.
>> Okay, I'll get you some yam porridge from the kitchen.
>> I do not want that.
I want you to make me some bitter leaf soap.
>> But I there is no butt. That is what I want.
Okay, mistress.
I'm sure you know that brand hold your way.
>> Do you just call me fat?
>> Oh, no. No.
Um, I'm assuming you want to hang yourself.
I suggest you look for fruit trees with stronger branches because looking at this one, I can tell that the branches are very fragile.
And I don't think you would want to fall down and break a neck or a leg because you're trying to kill yourself. That would really hurt.
I'm sorry I'm rambling. I was just >> Yeah, I I I wasn't trying to I I was You know what? Just forget about it.
>> Come on. I I I know where I can hide.
>> [music] [groaning] [laughter] >> My brush rest.
>> [snorts] [groaning] >> Nest. Nest nest.
Nest.
[clears throat] Ah, bro.
Is that not your wife to be or should I say was And I wonder who has the child she is carrying.
Tell you what, if you understand what I mean, [screaming] you out of your mind. She wanted to attack me.
Pathetic.
[snorts] Okay.
What are you man >> or woman?
>> Why are you fitting?
[singing] >> I don't even know why I'm comfortable telling you all this. He's your brother.
>> Half brother.
>> So tell me, what are you doing here? I was speaking herbs.
>> Herbs for what?
>> I make healing portions.
>> You're joking, right?
[laughter] [clears throat] >> No, I am not. That is what I do.
>> I am a healer of some sort.
>> I want to say impressive, but I'm having a hard time believing your portions work.
So, how do I prove to you that it works?
Do you have any ailment that you wish to be treated?
>> I do, but I doubt if portions can heal unhappiness.
[singing] >> I'm sorry about my brother, >> but he's not worth losing your life over.
You do not live for him, >> so you do not have to die for him.
>> I don't know what I'm leaving for.
>> It's not too late to find it.
[laughter] >> Thank you for walking me.
You're welcome.
>> I should [laughter] um Thank you again.
>> Anytime.
>> Um will I see you around?
>> You know where to find me.
Why do you insist in bringing embarrassment to this family? Don't you know you are a prince?
Why do you insist on behaving like a rogue?
Father, I do not understand where this is coming from. He was asking for trouble and I came through for him. That is it. Are you listening to yourself?
>> I am, father.
You should be on my side. He insulted you. F your ass.
>> No, you insulted yourself [music] when you took his fancy to bed knowing they're going to get married.
>> I can't remember forcing her. She was as willing as I was. She was even more eager to have a test of me. Yes, you are a foul human being and you have a foul spirit.
>> I wish.
>> You wish what? Father.
>> You wish what?
>> I did everything possible to train you right.
I do not know from where you land the way you are behaving now.
>> Land?
I did not lend this.
>> It's rough in our veins.
It's ros in our blood. For that, Will you shut up, you fool?
[laughter] [sighs] That was brave.
I understand how you feel, father.
Having a mirror you cannot break.
Yes.
I want to ask you how many how many illegitimate bastards of of ys are prowling around this village and the nest and you sit here on your throne.
question my vigor that I inherited from you.
[sighs] Get out.
Get out.
[singing] >> Yes, my son. Oh, [music] heat.
N I know you told your father you went to the palace. this. But I know it's not true. So, where were you?
I don't mean to question you or anything.
>> That is exactly what you're doing.
>> No, me. I care about you so much. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you.
You need to tell me everything about you so I can cover up your tracks.
>> I know.
>> So, where were you?
I went for a walk. I needed to clear my head.
Okay.
So, can we go back to the massage?
>> Sure. Thank you.
What happened to your face? Who did this to you?
>> Who do you think?
>> Wait. You went to confront him.
>> I had no choice.
>> Come on, Udoka. You're trying to get yourself killed.
Udoka.
>> You don't have to blame me. For every time I see that bastard, he mocks me to my face and tells me I am not man enough. Ignore him, Udoka. Ignore him.
Is that hard?
>> I try to, but he mocks [music] all telling her all manner of painful things.
Do you know her parents sent her out of the house? She's pregnant and she has no body. All because of that dick.
>> Listen to me, brother. You will pay for everything he has done to us. We will have our revenge. Okay? You just need to calm down. I don't want anything to happen to you. Look at >> father.
>> Greetings.
>> Mhm.
I can see that my little divia is no longer little anymore.
>> Father, I am not a Dia. [laughter] So tell me how you can achieve this so effortlessly.
>> I take it that the person I made for you for sound sleep worked.
[sighs] >> Like a charm.
>> I'm glad to hear that.
So what can I make for the king today?
You mentioned the headache.
>> Very attentive as usual.
>> Can't help it, father.
[laughter] So I'll make one for you for headache.
>> Yes.
>> N father you sent for me.
>> Prepare yourself. You are going to the palace.
What for?
>> To see DK.
Your wedding is only a few meals away.
You need to start getting acquainted with each other.
>> Father, there will be plenty of time to do that when we marry.
>> Don't make me repeat myself.
>> Can I at least know what is expected of me?
You are a woman and he need to see you as such.
Use your feminine wells to get him think of no other person than you.
>> To what end, father?
>> To persuade his other word people as soon as possible.
You'll come back here until you achieve that. Do you hear me?
>> Yes, father.
>> Now go and prepare.
Yes, my child.
It's so nice to have you grace the palace. How are your parents?
>> Thank you, Lola, for your warm welcome.
My parents are fine. They sent me to come and see the key.
>> Oh, you know his chamber. Go ahead.
>> Um, no, Lola. I'd rather he come out to see me. I wouldn't [music] want to repeat the same mistake I made the last time.
>> Oh, that.
Very well. Then, let me have someone inform him you're here.
>> Thank you, Lola. I'll be back.
>> The weather is changing. I think it will rain.
>> I doubt it.
>> My father says we are to be married.
So I heard.
Do you even want to marry me?
>> What kind of a question is that? Of course I want to marry you.
>> Then why do I feel like a stranger to you even though we've known each other since we were children?
How come you don't make any effort to get to know me?
>> I think that is what marriage is all about.
>> Yes. Listen, we we we just have to take our time, okay? I want you to leave your life while I leave mine. Do you understand?
>> And where are you going?
>> Village Square.
>> Yes.
So, you were serious about being a hist.
>> Forgive the mess. I wasn't expecting anyone.
>> I can see that. [snorts] Please sit.
[clears throat] You're welcome.
I'm sorry. [laughter] [sighs and gasps] So, what brings you here?
>> I came to see your brother.
>> Oh.
>> And seeing as you never bothered to check up on me since, I thought to stop by to let you know I'm okay now.
>> I'm glad to hear that.
And I'm sorry I didn't come to see you.
I felt it would be inappropriate.
>> I understand that.
Um, so what are you making today?
>> Um, a pain relief of some sort.
>> Mhm.
>> Can you show me how it's been going?
>> Are you sure?
>> Yes. [laughter] >> Okay. But [clears throat] first, you need to know the herbs you're working with.
>> Okay.
So this is [music] this is sorry what did you say?
I asked why you told your father you were with DK.
I said I had a great time at the palace which was a delight or Jadili but he doesn't know that. Shh.
>> Lower your voice. My father doesn't have to know that.
What is really going on with you and Ojadi?
[clears throat] Why would you ask him that? Because I was there. You were all happy and smiling.
But I'm scared.
Because you're going to be married to his brother.
DK made it clear that he doesn't care what I do before we get married as long as I will make him a good wife. So if having few laughs with will help me go through it then so be it.
Few laughs is that all it is enough Adamama. I know you're my friend but you are still my maid. I do not appreciate you questioning me.
>> I am sorry my mistress.
I sit grandio.
Brotherhood initiation will soon take place.
Are you ready for it?
>> Yes.
Good.
But that's not the only reason I called you here.
I've not been feeling myself lately.
And I want to relinquish some of my responsibilities to you.
>> I I do not understand what you're saying, father.
>> You'll be king someday.
>> Of course, I know.
>> Then start acting like one.
From now onwards, you will sit in in all the council meetings.
You'll be my shadow in everything.
>> [music] >> Medie.
>> Greetings my friends.
>> Greetings Adam. I wasn't sure you got my message or that you would come.
>> Of course I will. I'm your apprentice now. [laughter] Shall we?
>> Of course we [music] shall. Let's go.
[music] >> [music] >> Okay.
Okay.
[music] >> [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] >> What wonderful news. So you mean everything we've always wanted will be ours?
>> Very soon.
And um how is the king's health?
>> It's getting worse every day.
[laughter] >> How long do you say he has left?
Few moons and DK will become the king but temporarily.
>> He won't be enough for our daughter to have an egg >> and he will join his father. [laughter] >> My lord, you're a master planner.
>> Are you too?
>> Wait, doesn't he have another son?
>> Son?
That crazy one? That lunatic, that one won't pose any problem.
Will be the easiest to get rid of.
>> I am just so happy. So very soon, very very soon, everybody in this kingdom will be bowing to us. We'll be in the palace.
>> To you, [laughter] >> bowing to you.
>> My lord, >> you're a great planner. When next will I see you?
>> When next you [music] think of me?
[laughter] >> You can't be that serious.
>> Who were you thinking of when my message came today? [laughter] >> Exactly.
So when next you want to see me, think it and I will be with you.
You need to leave right now.
>> I have to leave now.
>> All right. Bye.
>> Bye.
Let's go.
What is wrong with you, Needma?
Eh, why do you insist on being so small and insignificant?
You and I have done the unthinkable to pave way for your greatness and you insist on being a mediocre.
>> No l I do not understand why you're speaking to me this way just because I'm friends with Ojadi who happens to be a prince too. And what about the man you're supposed to be married to? What if he saw you with him? You know he and his brother never had a good relationship.
>> So I should inherit their issues.
>> Yes. That is what a good wife does. The enemy of your husband is your enemy.
>> Lo, you know that's not right.
[snorts] Have you ever wondered why I insist everyone calling me Lo even though I am not royalty?
That is because you don't need blue blood to rule.
Power comes to those who are willing to do whatever it takes to wield it. And I am sure I had that in me ever since I was a child.
Winning is not about doing what is right or wrong. It is about doing whatever it takes.
Mother, are we still talking about Oji here?
Take your time and think of the freedom you're enjoying now. Because the next time, the next time something this stupid may happen again, I will make sure you don't leave this house again until you're married.
And you >> I'm sorry, Lola.
No, please. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
>> You would have thought of that before disobeying my orders.
>> I'm sorry. No, I'm sorry.
>> No, you girl. I'm sorry. No, no, no.
Please leave her. Leave her. It was my fault. Don't eat her.
>> Lady Ma, we are sorry. I was the one that forced her to go with me. Please.
>> Sorry. If you won't allow me weep her, I will make sure she pays for this.
>> Me, please.
>> You pay for this.
>> You will pay for this.
>> It's okay.
It's okay.
>> [cough] [laughter] >> Yeah.
Yeah.
[music] [singing] >> [music] >> My king, >> I heard you coughing and I decided to bring you water. Please have some.
>> Thank you.
[singing] >> [laughter] >> You need some more.
[singing and music] Oh, [music] [singing] yeah.
[music] [singing] [music] Ooh. [music] >> [singing] >> I [music] I [music] [music and singing] So, what do you think about about the council, the people and the elders.
Tell me, I want to hear.
Honestly, father, I do not know why they they keep coming to you about their livestock and yams being harvested and stolen without their consent.
This is something they can actually resolve on their own without involving the king.
>> Then there will be no law and order.
When something happens in a community, the matter is reported to the custodian of the law so that it can be resolved accordingly.
Do you understand that?
I do, but it still does not make any sense to me.
Does not make sense at all.
>> Is the council meeting over?
>> Yes. [snorts] We don't have much to discuss today.
>> Oh, okay.
>> You seem tired. Are you okay?
>> I am fine.
Okay.
[clears throat] >> Father, >> have you ever wondered how it would be for you to be king?
>> Why would you even ask me that?
>> Why not?
>> But I look around you.
I'm ex I'm not exactly against material.
It is not for you. It is for the gods to say.
>> Well, the gods already did when they chose me for this.
>> Arguing with you is useless. [laughter] >> But king material.
>> Is there no way to hen the decision? I want you to marry now.
>> Why the hurry your highness?
>> [laughter] >> the sickness that took your father.
[laughter] [cough] I do not have much time left.
And if I die before DK is supposed to do the right [crying] thing, he might not do it at all.
This is tradition. I know. So, you know, there is nothing that can be done without consequences.
This ceremony is just 2 months away. We can't afford to ruin this thing now.
Okay, I'll be patient. But you have to marry them a day after the imitation. 3 days is too much.
That I can do.
Thank you.
>> You're here >> to see you. I missed you.
>> I was informed you came alone.
>> What about Adam?
>> I snuck out.
[laughter] >> You are.
>> I'm worth.
>> You never cease to amaze me. [laughter] What if I tell you I do not want to marry your brother?
>> You already told me that.
>> I want to be with you instead.
>> Um, that's exactly what we're going to do.
But it has to be gradual. You understand?
They've now taking their positions in the border.
>> Mhm. Welcome.
>> Greetings.
>> Greetings.
>> What are you doing here?
>> I invited him to join us.
>> Why? He's not even buy it. That's enough. And behave yourself.
Sit down.
As I was saying, I will make sure I finish this one. You wear it for your marriage. Okay.
Speaking of my marriage, why did you and papa >> your lord?
>> Why do you always say the fate of this kingdom depends on my marriage to the king?
>> Because of the blood oath.
>> And why was a blood oath taken at my bet?
>> The blood oath was taken to make sure the king keeps his own part of the promise and wouldn't be swayed by his ambition.
>> Ambitions? How do you mean?
>> You see, when you're royalty, every move you make is calculated.
>> I do not understand.
Many years ago, when the people of Amago encroached on our borders and tormented our people, the king did everything he could to protect the people. But his efforts weren't good enough.
The people of Amagome were known to be demons at battles. They take whatever they want.
They threatened us with war. The king was so desperate that he searched for help everywhere.
The father was ready.
So he obeyed the clarion call.
He traveled far and w to recruit assassins that were a match for the people of Amagu.
This cost him a whole lot of fortune.
But the king, recognizing your father's loyalty, made a promise that our families will be united.
>> So if the king made a promise, what was the need for the blood hold?
[gasps] >> The blood forbids your father from speaking on helping the king win the war.
And on the other hand, make the king keep his own end of the promise.
>> And if he doesn't, it will die.
And if your father defaults, you will die.
You see my child, your marriage is a matter of life and death, and there is no coming out of it.
But even a life at least, what do you want? The question is, what do you want?
What games do you think you are playing with my father?
Our father?
My father?
He is my father.
I am the one true heir, the heir to the throne.
I might not always see eye to eye with father, but that throne is mine.
So I will suggest you back off.
[music] >> I do not want anything to do with your throne.
>> You pushed me.
You pushed the prince.
You know you were a liar.
You want everything that is mine. You want everything.
But let me tell you, you are a boy, a child.
You are not man enough.
Oh, listen.
I want to advise you focus on this leaves and the trees.
Stay away from the affairs that concern men.
Do you understand? Again, I was not in the throne room because I wanted to.
Father asked me to be there. The next time he calls, tell him no.
Tell him no.
Be warned.
[music] >> [singing] [music] >> We are what is are jetting.
>> Papa, why didn't you tell me you were sick?
>> I noticed your hands shaking at the throne room just as they are now.
>> It's the sickness that took my father.
>> I think it runs in our blood.
>> When did Stanos desend?
>> You can heal me.
But I can try. Papa, >> the chief priest said that it will be long from now.
>> Yes, papa.
>> You know I can't live without you. You know this.
>> You can and you will.
You're stronger than you know.
I know that you and DK, >> your brother, don't see eye to eye >> and it hurts me that I'm leaving you in a world where both of you hate each other.
>> No, papa.
>> I do not hate DK.
>> I just wish he would understand that I do not want anything that belongs to him.
When I'm gone, >> you'll be the only one that is left for him. Please don't leave him.
DK may not want to admit it, but I think he needs you more than he would admit.
Please, that's over.
Nothing is going to happen to you, okay?
You're not going anywhere.
[snorts] Yeah.
[music] Yeah. [singing] [music] [music] >> Sun.
It looks like it [music] is going to rain tonight.
>> Not tonight, >> but soon.
>> Why did you not tell me he was sick?
>> You know your father, he did not want to bother you with that.
Is that why he was so quick to give up?
>> Does he not believe in my healing proess?
>> That is not it. Son, >> your father knows the sickness more than anyone.
He watched it eat away at his father until nothing was left because the father wanted to leave.
He spent much effort chasing remedies that he ignored what matters most in his life, his family and his kingdom.
But he will become my husband >> is not that kind of man.
With him, duty and sacrifice are everything.
Why does Dicki hates me?
He always looks at me with disdain like I'm at a place I shouldn't be.
>> He is scared.
Scared of what?
>> The love your father has for you.
>> But most times he wishes you are his rightful heir and Dicki knows that.
What do you think?
>> Let me go [music] and check on your father.
Oh, [singing] hold me well.
Hold hold hold me knee tight tight.
>> Very tight.
>> Yes. [singing] >> This is my priest.
>> Who is your friend? Shut up.
>> Sorry my priest.
Hold me back.
Say it. Why you Why are you cheating?
>> Are we very close?
>> Where?
>> You are hold me tight.
[singing] Love me of my >> [singing and music] >> Adam, >> what are you doing here?
I want to see Mary.
>> No, please. You I can't help you.
>> Please.
>> You got us into a lot of trouble the last time. Please.
>> What trouble? [snorts] >> Never mind. Please, just you need to leave before someone else sees you.
>> I can do that. I need to see her.

She will serve the wine and the guts will bless your marriage.
Take [music] this wine and give it to your husband to be a boy.
Oh man.
>> Are you again.
What is it?
>> [screaming and cheering] >> Somebody with you don't do this to me.
You're not saying anything. [cheering] >> [screaming] >> Your highness, you cannot possibly believe my daughter can be prince.
She loves him so much.
We cannot rule out any possibilities.
Yes. Um, [clears throat] how is my son?
Uh, will he be okay?
>> He is alive but cannot participate in the activities of the living. He is worse than a vegetable.
>> Then find an antitude and save him. My son will not die.
>> It is not just a poison.
It is a blood cause that left his body trapped.
He's not going to die just in prison.
>> How do we reverse the cause and who caused him?
>> I will find out who. But this cause can only be reversed with blood.
>> Take mine. I am his blood.
>> Your highness, I am afraid your illness has weakened you so much.
It won't work.
Then find another solution.
My son must not die.
>> Now what is going on? Eh, why are they releasing our daughter?
>> The king has lost his [music] mind.
He thinks Nimma is responsible for the prince's condition.
Is she?
Are you crazy? That is not the plan.
Okay. Talking about the plan.
We have to get the king release.
Then we get the the the chief priest to perform the final rights that will make her the queen.
But the prince is dying >> and that's why we have to get it done before he dies.
>> Now you are confusing me. You are confusing me. The prince can't get Nimma pregnant in this his present condition.
Do we get the throne without [music] an heir?
>> Let her become his wife first.
>> I do not agree. I have a better plan >> which is the other prince. He likes her.
And that one will be far easier for us to get rid of.
>> You're right.
>> You're right. Let's be quick weak. We have a lot to do.
>> Hurry. Let's go and blow this.
>> [snorts] >> Oh, go here. I I did poison Dicki. I did poison him.
Are you in on it?
>> In on what?
>> Your parents plans to take over the throne.
>> Oh, so you're aware of it?
>> I I knew they had an agenda, but I I never knew it involved taking over the throne. And besides, they can't do that because they're not of royal blood. Man, I know you do not need a royal blood to become royalty.
>> Tell me, did you mean any of it or I was just a porn in your game?
>> Are you even listening to me? If I wanted the truth, do you think I would sabotage the plan by falling in love with you?
>> Maybe that's what you wanted me to believe while you scheme to get DK, my brother, out of the way. What?
Is that what you think of me?
>> Oh, yeah.
[laughter] >> [laughter] >> Thank you your highness for agreeing to hear us out.
It it been long now. It has been days and we have not been allowed to see our daughter to know how she is fairing. Hh it will be your please. Our daughter is innocent.
N man cannot hunt dick.
>> Yes, she she cannot even hunt a fly.
Huh?
>> I believe you.
>> I believe you in all totality.
>> Thank you, your highness. I know you will reconsider. Thank you.
>> It was not your daughter Nema that betrayed the kingdom. Oh.
your highness. Thank you.
>> It was not your daughter.
>> Okay.
>> Between this kingdom.
>> Oh, >> it was the both of you.
>> I welcome my son. My son or Jadi overheard both of you when we were planning how to take the kingdom.
>> Oh no, >> it wasn't us. We were not the one.
>> Yes.
>> Oh >> yes.
Maybe probably he had people that sounded like us. It's not us at all.
>> I saw you betray us with my two eyes.
>> It's not true.
>> And your daughter confirmed it.
Take them to the dungeon. It is not written like that now.
It's not what you think.
DK, [music] my son, you are not one to back down from a fight.
I need you to fight [music] this like you've never fought anything in your life.
Hang on there and don't give up.
I promise to find a cure, even if it means traveling to the land of the dead to get it.
Oh, will my son How did Adamama get entangled in all that?
>> She was helping her brother get her revenge.
>> DK really hurt a lot of people.
>> And how did you get to confess?
>> She didn't.
Adam confessed when the chief priest threatened the corp with a counter curse using the remnant of the palm wine. She said she didn't know her revenge will come at the cost of your freedom.
>> So she did that for me.
>> That is what she wants us to believe.
>> So what now? How's your brother?
He's just there.
Doesn't talk. Doesn't move.
The only thing that moves in his body are his eyes. And they move a lot.
>> He doesn't sleep.
>> That's the problem. He doesn't.
And his lack of sleep is beginning to break his body down.
>> It is torture.
Can he be healed >> with the blood of someone related to him?
>> So when is the king doing it?
>> Unfortunately, the king can't because king is is sick.
>> When did everything get so complicated?
Was that complicated?
>> No.

>> Mama, [music] you have to try to get some rest.
I cannot I cannot I do not know how to go on with my life without your father. I do not.
That's a fact.
I do not even know where I am anymore.
>> You are my mother. [laughter] >> You are the queen.
You [music] owe a duty to your people.
Mama, you know papa would not want you to be [music] this sad.

>> Thank you so much.
Thank you for being here, for me.

>> How about Nima?
>> What about her?
>> I saw both of you today.
Nimma loves you.

Because of the blood oath of that the blood oath was between your father and our journey and it has absolutely nothing their children.
They use the oath to sell their and that was it.
>> I'm not you're [music] confusing me.
What are you What are you saying?
>> What I am saying is that the oath died the moment your father breeded his last as it is now. You and D can live your lives the way you want and be with whomever you deem fit.
I shouldn't be thinking about this right now. Why >> dig?
I have to save him.
But with father gone, I do not even know how to go about it.
Mama, do you know any distant cousin that would be willing to risk their life for DK? Anyone? [clears throat] Mama, what is it?
Talk to me.
DK is your blood.
>> Okay, you you are confusing [music] me more.
I thought you said the king was not my real father.
No, he's not.
His brother that gave up his title to be a habalist was what? That was why I came to the palace to seek solace when he breeded his last.
Why didn't you tell me this before now?
Why?
>> I don't know. I I I do not know. I I just did not see it appropriate at that time.
>> Appropriate?
>> Please don't be like this with me. I cannot be it. Please.
>> This is it. This is the answer.
>> Answer to >> yes to DK's conditions. I am going to save him.
>> No, you are not. You are not going to save him.
Do you know that you are that DK are the only thing I have in this palace left and if anything happens to any of you or both of you, this kingdom is doomed.
Please, you do not have to do that.
>> Then you do not. Then the chief priest has to make sure that nothing happens.
>> It does not always work like that.
Please can you please listen to your mother? It does not happen like that.
>> Mama, I can't live with myself if I don't save my brother.
This is what papa would have wanted.
>> Daddy, please.
Please, please don't do this. Do not do this. Please.
I will be [laughter] your children.
Your children, please come to their rescue.
You've been so quiet since we buried the king. What's on your mind?

>> Oj, I do not want to lose you. I can't pay it.
[singing and music] >> You want to perform the ritual with your blood?

>> Is there a problem?
>> The gods do not give without taking.
>> What does that mean?
Every ritual that requires blood requires sacrifice.
>> The girl sacrifice her child with dicki for this cause to work to reverse it. Who knows what the gods will require?
>> I don't care.
My prince, you will never know the price until you pay it.
>> Do it, my prince.
