The Rejected Prince

Prince Liam's pov

I sat down in my room, thinking about my life and everything but all I could do was to shed tears.

I could feel that there are so many guards present in my room….this is how they have always been surrounding me ever since I was born.

It's been a long time since I felt the ray of sunlight because I have been always locked up in my room…..I know the king is really ashamed of me,I know through his thoughts.

I could feel the breeze from outside,so I noticed that someone opened the door of my room.

"My son,how have you been doing?" I heard and it was the voice of my step mother.

"Am fine" I replied casually.

"I know you must need this now,I prepared a cup of coffee for you so you could drink" she said and I stretched my hand to collect it.

"You fool, you think you are wise huh.

today will be your last day…. just go and die and meet your wretched mother" I heard her thoughts.

"Mum," I said.

"Who is your mum,I can never be a mother to a blind boy like you" I heard her thoughts again.

"Ma, please...give it to my brother," I said.

"What? Aren't you happy that I took my precious time to get you this,aren't you supposed to be happy…..you that had been rejected and forgotten" she said angrily.

"Oh! I see…..I knew that she is not like this...so she decided to act up so she could poison me" I thought.

"Mum, please give it to my brother….so he could drink it,I know he would need it more than I do right now" I said.

"Are you stupid, didn't I remembered my precious and normal son before I came here to offer you this" she said.

"Am sorry,but i'm okay….I don't feel like taking a coffee" I replied.

"Ok,what will you love to take?" she said silently.

"I am okay…. thanks" I screamed.

And immediately I screamed I could feel her absence out of my room.

Let me introduce myself….my name is Liam,I know I am a prince because my guards always call me a prince but have not felt like one before,Am blind I can't see...I was told I have been blind since birth….the only one that have cared for me is my mum and she was the one that first told me that am a prince.

Am 25 years old,my mum died when I was twenty,Ever since my mum died everything has become worse...there has been no one to care for me since. Even my step Brothers detest me so much.

That is okay about me for now….

I stood up from the bed and held my walking stick.

"My prince,what should I get for you….are you okay" one of the guards asked me.

"Yes, please can you tell the remaining guards to excuse us for a few minutes," I said.

"Ok,my prince," he said.

I could feel the movement of people going out of the room and after some minutes,it was only the both of us remaining in the room.

"Edison,you know you are the only one have always trusted in this house... please how can I sneak out of the room" I said when I finally felt him in my front.

"What?" He screamed.

Ava's pov

I was so tired, walking from the farm back home,I searched everywhere before I could see the leaf that I would use for the medicine.

After a long while,I got home and my heart skipped immediately. I saw my step mother outside peeling yam.

"OMG!!! I am dead" I thought.

"You fool,are you supposed to be coming back by this time?" I heard.

"Am sorry ma" I said and I was about to walk past her when she suddenly started screaming.

"What?" I asked her.

"Is this the only firewood you could get?" she asked angrily.

"I'm sorry mum,I searched everywhere in the bush,but I couldn't find any more" I said.

And before I knew it she walked up to me, and she raised her hand on me….and she was interrupted by the scream of people immediately.

"Help!!! Help!!! Ava please help come to my rescue….my daughter is dying" A woman holding a lifeless child said crying.

"What happened to her?" I said.

"I don't know my daughter,she just passed out," she said.

I collected the girl from her immediately and looked for somewhere to lay her…..I bowed down and laid my palm on her body and closed my eyes and immediately I felt it…

"I could feel it," I thought.

I stood up immediately and ran towards the bush path even though I was terribly tired.

I ran as fast my leg could take me, before I finally saw the leave.

The leave speaks to me,I smiled and walked up to the leave and plunged it immediately and ran back tiredly.

Before I got home I was very tired and with the way my mum was staring at me I could feel danger immediately,I pretended not to notice and squeezed the leave, and after squeezing it...I decided to open the girl's mouth and poured the medicine in her mouth.

All the woman could do was to cry,I stared at her and shook my head vigorously.

And after some minutes,the girl sneezed and woke up....she was so happy that she didn't know when she she knelt down to thank me.

It was like magic to everyone,and I smiled immediately.

I know you guys must be wondering who am i, well….My name is Ava I stays with my parents, people known me as a healer in my town,Ever since I coincidentally healed a young boy on my way from farm....I don't have a mum but I have a stepmom,who always treats me like a piece of trash...my dad is a farmer and he loves me so much,I don't know why my mum hates me,all I know is that she likes her daughter more than me.

I know when I say that,the leaves always speak to me...it looks weird right? That is how it has always been ,since I have started growing older and have always wondered too…Even people are always curious to know how have been able to heal people..

I think that is enough about me for now.

To be continued….
