ZADEQUE was a kid that his father didn’t know he had. Yet from the day he found him and claimed him, he began to pitch him against his brother.
The kid was born to him from an affair the king had with a woman. It was when he desperately sought for a boy from his queen.
The secret love didn’t last a time when the woman fled. She fled when she realized she was pregnant. For the queen haunted her to death.
Zadeque’s mother went hidden through her pregnancy. But she died at her delivery when she gave birth to her baby boy.
So the baby’s grandmother took him and nursed him. He hid him till she would die.
Therefore the first son of the king lived hidden from the kingdom’s awareness. And in the meantime the palace had a boy. He was Maqwela.
Now when Zadeque’s grandma was about to die, she sent a letter to the king that he’d got a son. As she wouldn’t fear death, let alone the king.
This way, an unknown prince showed up in a palace way too obsessed with crown prince-hood. Then Chaka-Hulu pitched the fight between the two sons he’d got.
But then again, Zadeque cared so less about the throne. He just wanted to meet his father and live with him.
He also craved the outside world.
Yes, the new prince wanted to live free. Whatever the identity he got, he just only wanted freedom.
Still the opposite was what happened to the young kid. The king never showed him to the public. He kept his identity secret in all Cape Islands.
Prince Zadeque was given access to everything Chaka-Hulu. He was bestowed the rights accorded an heir, yet he wasn’t publicly revealed as one.
And Maqwela only met the public, not him.
Now Maqwela had been raised with the purpose of taking his father’s place when the king passed on. As he’d been Chaka-Hulu’s only son.
But when his brother appeared, the young lad didn’t think to save his place from the new boy. He was just glad he found company.
Even so, when the father pitched the clamour for his throne, Maqwela went from playing soft to playing hard, and then he’d go forth and back several times.
This was because Zadeque, too, was fighting fierce. And then, he’d relent, feeling really bad.
Then he’d pick up again, chasing him. And on and off he went in that struggle.
So, the two princes wrestled hard then played soft. They battled themselves then came together to cry.
They grew that way till they became men.
