It's been one month and coincidently I have become the gossip of the Palace.
You see I'm know as the suductress that was able to ensnare the King and make him lose his rationale thoughts.
How this rumer came to be is that 2 weeks back the King was in the discussion hut, in modern terms it would be the court room and the discussion of him of wanting to pass the law that wifes can drink alcohol in celebrations where men are in attendance should be allowed.
You see the rule here is that wifes only I given the privilege to drink alcohol but only in the confines of their rooms or where men are not present. So in celebrations where only woman are present alcohol is permitted. But if a man, even one is in attendance alcohol will not be allowed.
Ridiculous? I know!
I didn't stand for that nonsence so, I had devised a plan to sneak alcohol during the royal dinner held for Prince Mhlengi's oldest son who is close to the age of the King.
The man looked as evil as his father... I guess the apple does not fall far from the tree.
So alcohal is kept in skin sacks to allow for the fermintaion process to occur and make the wine taste better.
The drinks that where being served to woman where also in skin sacks but it was normal squeezed fruit juice. What I had done was swap the skin sacks of the juice with the alcohal one.
The problem was that I didn't know that the skin sacks in different barrels had different alcohal contents as a results as Zodwa kept bringing the skin sacks to pour on my cup, I was consuming high contents of alcohol.
I don't even remember what I said that night but Zodwa had reassured me that I was only responding to questions if asked and then I kept to myself.
However one event that I remember and I think it's what's initiated the King to push the new law and the rumor to commenced was that during the night after the dinner and all the men where drunk to the point of forgetting their names, the Queen called for entertainment.
That was our que as woman to leave but I remember sitting there and staring at the King.
The image in my head is blurry but I know for a fact that all the woman and some men left and I decided to stay. Zodwa stayed with me and nursing my every need.
In my head I wanted to talk to the King but when you drunk your thoughts turn in to actions, crazy actions. So I remember standing up and the next I remember was me on stage dancing with the performers but not only that.
Oh no no...I was dancing the Reed dance!
Worst of all the last thing I remember was me on the ground twerking!
Lord have mercy on me...
Since that day two weeks ago I have been avoiding everyone and not aatending my etiquette lessons but since Zodwa has to cater to my needs and food, she hears the rumors outside.
Zodwa says she wasn't there when I performed my little western exotic dance but what's funny is that Zodwa never leaves my side beside for that one time of us exploring the Palace other then that she sticks to me like glue.
So today after two weeks of that incident I will see the King, nervous is a understatement I'm a wrecking ball of emotions.
The man saw me at my most vulnerable state, I don't know what I did or said but it has resulted in hin passing such a law and gaining me an extra aid.
Yep Zodwa has a helper, I don't think she's happe about it but I am. I have a new person to talk too. Her name is Zanda.
Eitheway, I must have really made a fool out of my self.
I don't have a choice today. I will have to meet him because we are traveling to the royal ancestors ground to do some rituals and as I am part of the royal family I must be there.
