Zakhele took this as an opportunity to voice her thoughts. "With all due respect, I am the same mother. Must we really continue this old and tried tradition?"

"It is a tradition older than our kingdom itself. We must do it, if only for the people."

(Nnh-Goh-Zi)

(Thanks!)

"And? It is time we modernize some of our culture, don't you think mother? Besides, why would I need a Prince Consort when you wise teachings will help me be a good queen anyway?" She argued.

"And besides, you must produce an heir for the throne or there will be no point handing it down to you." Queen Ngozi said firmly.

"I can produce a heir later," she saved, waving her hand dismissively. "Why do I have to produce a heir so early? I am only twenty-three."

Kayin rolled her eyes. Yes, the 'wise teachings'. Such a teacher's pet.

"It is tradition, we will keep it." Ngozi said, unwilling to hear anything further about her daughter choosing a spouse her own self instead of a contest.

Shoot. I was hoping Zakhele would put an end to that stupid tradition. Kayin grumbled in her head.

"And don't either of you talk back to me, I won't hear any more of this." she said. "Now we should discuss the contest itself."

(Kayin out here throwing that shade)

She kept further remarks to herself, pressing her lips together. She could vouch for herself another time. "Fine, mother."

"I agree with Zakhele. Traditions can become outdated, mother." Mbhali stated. She wasn't about to let this matter wait for another day.

Kofi came downstairs and spotted Kayin. It seemed she was trying to be quiet, so he waved. "What's happening in there?" He mouthed silently.

"We must keep tradition. I will assist in running the kingdom even when you are crowned, and tradition will be kept." she said, raising her voice.

(Kayin out here throwing that shade)

(as always)

"But I am not ready for marriage. I do not want children!" There. She said it.

(XDD)

She placed her hand on Mbahli's shoulder to calm her. We will figure something out later, give it a rest, she mouthed.

Kofi came downstairs and spotted Kayin. It seemed she was trying to be quiet, so he waved. "What's happening in there?" He mouthed silently.

"Mother is talking to Zakhele and Mbhali about marriage. I'm glad I'm not in there." Kayin murmured.

"Don't give me that tone. You're getting married and that's that!" Ngozi roared.

Mbhali shook her head slightly. Not this time. she mouthed.

"Both of them?" Kofi whispered. "Wouldn't Zakhele be the only one who needs to be married?"

"No! I will not! That's not that!" She shouted.
