(Alright, here goes. Gonna rp the mom a little since no one took her, so rn she's an NPC.)

Zakhele entered the throne room, her long Kente dress trailing behind her as she approached her mother as she as resting on the throne. She bowed once she was acknowledged and smiled. "Hello mother," she greeted, her African accent peaking through her speech.

(also, for the sake of simplicity, they all speak English in this rp)

"Hello Zakhele, where is your sister?" Her mother asked, looking down on her with a powerful but calm gaze. "I requested for both you and Mbahli."

"She is coming, mother," she said, exasperated. "Give her time. She will walk in, in the next few seconds, I'm telling you."

(Gees, thanks for putting me on the spot ;)
Mbhali rushed in. "Apologies mother." She stated, bowing hastily.

Kofi sat in his room, writing on a piece of parchment with his handmade quill. He wasn't writing much in particular, just writing what was on his mind. He was often told this was a waste of ink, but it helped him to clear his mind. He wondered why his mother needed his sisters and began doodling on the corner of the parchment.

(you're welcome, XDD)

"The crowning of Zakhele of is three weeks. Do you know what that means, Mbahli?" The mother said, switching her gaze to the younger of the two while Zakhele clasped her hands in front of her bosom.

Kayin wandered the hallways of the castle, very aware of the guard that was following her. She fidgeted with the braided bracelet around her wrist, running her finger tips over the worn leather. As she walked the other bracelet, a beaded one, made a small rattling sound.

(Uh oh I'm scared now lenny faces are never good…)
Kayin peeked into the throne room, spotting her two sisters and mother inside. Ah, so she wants to see Zakhele and Mbahli but not me. As always. She stood outside the doorway, listening in.

(yasss, I mean like don't dethrone Zakhele bc I'm Zakhele but get it girl)

"Zakhele's crowning means… The both of you need to find some to marry. Once Zakhele is queen, we will start the selection process for a Prince Consort, but we still need you, Mbahli, to find yourself a husband," their mother explained, crossing her legs as she spoke. Zakhele had troubled keeping her smile up at the mention of marriage. She didn't want to be married so soon, but the duties of a queen awaited, and it was one of the traditions of their people.

Ah, the one downside to being Queen. I hope I never have to get married. Kayin thought as she leaned back against the wall, shooing the guard away that had followed her.

MAy I join as the Queen?

Is she a good ruler or a bad ruler? I kinda want firm but just ruler if that's okay?

(Idk)
Mbhali nodded. "Yes mother. With all due respect, I am not ready to marry yet."
