The man sat on his throne as he welcomed all guests and his sons, but then his countenance didn't feel right. He kept looking at the other gate leading into the throne room and the King's palace. As the guest entered, they greeted him but he paid any attention. He then thought,

‘Have they caught this high official yet? Why can't I mind link the guards? And I don't even know how Barb is doing. ’

But there was no one to answer him, he was about getting up and see him when they heard a car entering the premise so without even seeing it, he knew there was someone else coming.

And since he was expecting his children so he sat back down. The people saw the way he was restless but none was bold enough to ask him what his problem was.

A few minutes later and the anticipated guest entered the throne room with his head high and a lady following closely behind him. They saw who it was and the guests started whispering to each other in wonder.

One of them told the other,

Who would have thought that the prodigal would also come.

Because he had being trying all he could to impress his parents. Which has landed him here mute and broken. ”

The king looked at his wife and she looked back at him then the Queen held her hands and said,

“You both might have gotten it wrong, all that we had being doing is to make him strong and smart independent on anyone. Which includes even his parents, we had given him so much love that we had made him weak unknowingly. So we decided to do everything in our power to make him strong again. ”

But then she shook his head and said,

“I don't believe you, you know being the king would make him strong but you are about to take that responsibility from him, why is that?”

The queen smiled and shook her head then shook her head and said,

“It is so he can compete for what is his and be the strongest even before he takes the throne. If he fights for it and earns it through hard work, he would cherish what he had gained through it. ”
