The Birth of Rekiya: Princess of peace is now an adult. 

Rekiya was thirteen today. She was finally going to have the privilege her sister Rekima had been enjoying since she clocked thirteen two years ago. Today, she was going to attend the festive court too.

Everytime they gathered to celebrate the Crown Prince or any of the Princes, the King, the Queen, or anything that needed to be celebrated, only Rekima would attend while Rekiya would stay at home because she was not of age and no man should look at her yet. Finally, she was going to witness what her mother and her sister had been enjoying every time they dressed in their most beautiful dresses to attend the festive court.

Her turn had finally come.

"Mother why are you the one dressing me?"

Ruki didn't answer Rekiya, telling the maids to stay off anytime they wanted to assist her. She had been the one who combed Rekiya's hair, styled her hair, and even made her dress. She styled Rekiya's hair in a way no one would guess how long her hair was. Using the veil would be suspicious if she was the only one covering her hair.

Ruki stared at Rekiya's bossom. She matured too fast. Her chest had swollen so quickly that she thought of how to pack the breasts for her that no one would guess how huge they've grown in her dress. Ruki had thought of this day where Rekiya would be announced as an adult, and the only thing that kept coming to her mind was how she was going to make Rekiya unnoticed in the room. How she was going to make her walk in and won't be sighted by these greedy old men, married young scholars, but set of newly young men of Akugba who had not been married.

As much as Ruki thought of it, It was hard, because Rekiya had grown into a beautiful Lady. Her skin had become fairer, and her baby girl looked so gorgeous in any dress, not to talk of making her up as a woman. There was no way she could stop these men from staring at her. She had to be present, just like Rekima.

That very day, she received many gifts from men and from fathers who showed interest in her daughter for their sons. The whole thing was strange to Ruki when she first witnessed the first ladies being shown to the men as adults. From the Gabatha kingdom where she came, men can show interest and send their parents' gifts, but at the end, the woman chooses who she wants, and so much in love with.

While she tightened Rekiya's underwear, Ruki couldn't thank the King enough for insisting that Rekiya served the Prince for the time being. Now that she was to be introduced as a girl who had come of age, no man would be able to approach her for she was going to be serving the Prince until it is time for her to marry or the King changes his mind or replace her with someone else.

"Mother why are you pressing my chest like that?"

"I am pressing it for if a man ever touches it before you are married I will know."

"Really!" Rekiya believed it. "How would you know?"

"Don't ask me." Ruki tightened Rekiya's upper material before letting her last dress fall freely down to her toes. The last dress was covering every part of her body that even an inch of her neck was not visible. Not a hint of how her shape looked was revealed in the dress. Even her chest was lost in it. It was a long and big dress. Ruki made it extra oversized, and designed the front of the dress with all manner of beautiful flowers that anyone could admire and lose focus to admire any other thing.

Rekima from where she was laughed so hard. She wondered why their mother had dressed Rekiya this way. She had wanted their mother to dress Rekiya in a way people would see how beautiful her shape was, for she had told her friends her younger sister was the most beautiful person in the palace. But with this type of dressing, how would her friends come to believe her?

"Mother, Rekima makes fun of me."

"Don't mind her." Ruki finally responded since she had been dressing Rekiya. "You should have laughed during her time rather than hugging her up and down. You see how she has repay you."

Rekima didn't stop laughing. "Mother, will she be able to breathe like this? Mother Heat."

"Why did you say that?" Rekiya tackled Rekima. "I can breathe. See mother. I'm not even feeling the heat Rekima is talking about. I'm so beautiful in the dress. Thank you mother."

This time, the maids and Rekima laughed so hard. Many had to go outside so as not to be caught. They couldn't believe Rekiya wasn't getting it. Rekima was stylishly pleading for her clothes to be reduced, and getting her something lighter instead.

Ruki almost had a tear in her eye. She hugged her daughter, Rekiya for appreciating the love she poured into the clothes. They were all beautiful, but they might not have revealed her shape.

If not because Rekiya had met the Crown Prince when she was eight, this would have been her first time meeting him and the other princes. It was the law that none of them could have access to the Crown Prince, see him, talk to him, talkless of being friends with him. No one was allowed to touch him if he didn't give them the consent, and even his siblings would bow when greeting him.

"Men of Akugba Kingdom!" The right hand man of the King shouted. He was always happier than ever when his voice came up louder than normal. He was there when the young Lady before him was brought, and now he couldn't believe his eyes. Labi shouted once again. "Young Scholars of Akugba Kingdom in the house! Distinguish men of Akugba Kingdom in the house! We have come to see another set of young ladies who have come of age. My people, first to be introduced among these women today is our second Princess of Akugba Kingdom!" Labi paused, bringing his voice even higher. "Coming in, is the Princess of peace! One and only Princess Rekiya!"
