ÀWÈLÉ: Hell Hath No Fury ☑️

•four•

A/n: we at chapter four!!🙌

As days passed, Àwèlé began to notice Adéoba following her. He would mysteriously appear anywhere we she went. If she was at the market, the prince would suddenly visit the market women. If she went to the stream, the prince would feel like a taking a stroll.
She initially had doubts about her fears and thought it was all a coincidence, until one day she saw Adéoba while she was walking to her father's farm. Adéoba had been creeping behind her, but he straightened up when he saw that she had noticed him. He smiled and waved at her." Hi"
Àwèlé smiled and resumed walking.
Adéoba ran after her until he caught up to her. " Where are you going ?"
Àwèlé sighed to herself, she did not want to talk to the prince today, There was just something off about him. She turned to him and answered. " I'm going to my father's farm, my prince"
" Please, call me Adéoba"
Àwèlé looked at him, surprised" I can't do that my prince"
"I insist"
She sighed and reluctantly agreed"alright.... Adéoba"
Adéoba gave her a satisfied smile as he walked beside her.
"Can I go with you? I want to see how well the crops are doing this year."
Àwèlé stifled an angry sigh. She did not want to follow the prince to a secluded area alone, his mere presence gave her the creeps. But it would be uncouth for her to deny a prince his request, so she agreed.
They chatted, they laughed, he teased, she smiled. But Àwèlé's heart was still not at rest. The prince stared at her a lot, going into a daze when she was talking, which she found very unnerving. Finally, when the sun began to set, Adéoba and Àwèlé returned to the village square, where they bade each other goodbye, Àwèlé with a smile and a little wave, and Adéoba with a silly smile pasted on his face for the rest of the day.

As Adéoba got to the palace, he met Adéronké waiting for him at the gates with a sly smile on her face. Adéoba groaned inwardly , she had some gossip to dish out again.
"Good evening maami"
Adéronké did not disappoint
"It is a very good evening indeed. And I'm sure the girl you spent the day with thinks so too"
"Maami. How do you know about that? Are you spying on me?"
Adéronké turned away and sniffed indignantly
"I don't know what you mean"
Adéoba raised an eyebrow and replied. "Maami"
"Oh, alright, fine. I may have sent a palace guard after you. But only for your safety, how was I supposed to know that you wanted to meet a friend"
"I'm not a child maami. I don't need a guard to keep me safe. I can defend myself"
"But..."
"Maaaaami"
"Fine. Fine. No guard. Happy now?"
"Very"
"So, who's the lucky girl?"
"Her name is Àwèlé", he replied with a smile.
"Wait. Àwèlé? That's the name of the girl your father told me about. The girl everyone wants to Wed."
"I can see why"
"Ooooh" Adéronké cooed "you like her"
Adéoba blushed and averted his eyes. "Yes"
Adéronké smiled and patted his shoulder.
" You're going to have to work for her affection, my son."
Adéoba smiled and held her hand, squeezing it lightly. Then he walked into the palace. He was ready to fight for his queen. After all, all the best things were hard to find, weren't they?
"No struggle, no success" he muttered to himself, then he went into his chambers to dream about his queen some more.
