Miguel entered his room and noticed that the bull was on the other side. He wanted to strike it on its nose since he was sure that the bull would become afraid and concede. However, he knew the only way he could achieve this was to walk closer to the bull.

He took off his sandals and quietly tiptoed towards where the bull was while holding his sword in his hand. The bull finally noticed him just as he got in front of it.

Without wasting any time, he attacked the bull's nose with his sword, injuring it severely and causing it to bleed. Rather than cower as he had expected, the bull attacked him and in the process pierced his left hand with one of its horns.

Miguel was sent flying and hit his back painfully on a tree. The sword fell from his right hand but he got up and picked it up again. His left hand was seriously bleeding and his body was in a lot of pain but that was the least of his problems as the bleeding bull charged towards him in a bid to finish him off.

    Elsa got ready for her eighth game and waited for the sound of the gong along with the other contestants. Soon enough, the gong sounded and the eldest council member began speaking."You are all welcome once again to the eighth day of the Ulundi contest. Today's game is going to test your reflexes and your resilience. It is called, 'the booby traps'. This game is probably the simplest you have played so far.A part of the forest has been specifically prepared for this game. Follow the white arrow and it will lead you to the location Once you are all there, you will be given further instructions on what to do."As they all followed the arrow into the forest, Elsa looked at her thigh which had not fully healed. Being a hunter herself, she knew a lot about traps so she hoped that the booby traps' weren't dangerous or anything as she could not afford to sustain more injuries.When they finally got to the location, they all stopped and waited for the eldest council member to continue speak

    Miguel on the other hand was thinking that if he could beat Dawson and ring the bell before him, he would move up to the third position. They both started walking quickly into the forest and tried to get ahead of each other but they were feeling really weak and occasionally had to stop and rest for a while.Back at the capital, Eric Jett looked at his son and wished that he would hurry. If he could beat Dawson and quickly get to the tree, he would end up as the winner because Elsa and Caden had already been caught in booby traps.Dawson and Miguel finally got closer to where the bell was. From where they stood, they could both see Elsa and Caden trying to free themselves from their traps. Dawson realized that since he was in second position if he could be the first to ring the bell, he would finally beat Caden and rise to the first position.With this realization, he ran with all his might, leaving Miguel struggling behind. However, just as he got close to Elsa and Caden, Elsa finally

    The moment he heard the sound of the gong, Caden quickly got onto his rope and began moving. He stretched his two arms apart and suspended them in the air. Seeing this, Dawson also got onto his rope, whereas, Elsa and Miguel stood watching the both of them. Caden's body shook but he struggled to balance himself as he took one step at a time. Dawson tried to do the same thing but after taking a few steps, he lost his balance and fell. He screamed as he plunged down and fortunately ended up inside the river.Elsa looked at Caden and wondered why he was so good. From the look of things, she would never be able to beat him. As Becky watched Elsa on the screen, she felt that Elsa had decided to sit this game out and she couldn't blame her.After what Elsa suffered the last time she was in a river, any right-thinking person in her shoes would also be afraid to take such a risk. Even if Elsa was going to lose because of that, it was better for her to be alive than dead.Dawson struggled and

    As Elsa watched Caden moving with his hands, she suddenly had an idea. She quickly got on the rope but rather than move with her legs, she wrapped her hands around the rope. When she also began dangling from the rope like Caden, she lifted her body and wrapped her legs around the rope. The sun shone directly on her face as she was facing the sky. She wanted to close her eyes but she felt was too risky. She needed to look at the ropes as she moved with her hands to avoid any accidents so she bore through it.Becky's heart was in her mouth as she watched Elsa. She squeezed her hands so hard that her nails dug into the skin on her palms. Jesse's mother who sat beside her slowly tapped her back to help her remain calm as she seemed to be shaking.Jesse's mother had spared no effort in trying to win Becky over. She kept bringing food for Becky and each time, Becky politely declined her offer as she clearly knew her intentions. Even Gavin Blake knew that his wife was up to no good but that

    Riley finally arrived at Khumalo. She knew Becky couldn't walk properly so she didn't expect that she would be at the viewing centre. She went directly to the hut Becky shared with Elsa close to the entrance of the forest.When she got there, however, she realized that Becky was not at home. It was at that moment that she realized that Becky must have decided to watch her daughter's performance in the Ulundi contest.She quickly made her way to the viewing center and true enough, saw Becky in the company of Gavin Blake and his wife. She quickly came down from her horse and walked over to her. Becky was surprised when she saw her as she knew that all the Rulers would be at the capital and it was only normal for their queens to also be there.The surprise on Becky's face quickly disappeared and she turned her attention back to the screen. Riley tapped her back and said "I need to speak with you privately"Becky ignored her but this only infuriated her because she was used to receiving

  • THE CURSED PRINCESS   THE GUAMPE TREE

    When the last Ulundi game was revealed to the viewers, there were different reactions from them. Becky immediately began crying tears of joy as she was now sure that Elsa would come back as a Ruler. Gavin Blake congratulated her immediately. Being a second Ruler was something that most men could never accomplish, no matter how hard they tried. But Elsa did it. She made them proud. When she first went there, she was disadvantaged and looked down upon by everyone but now she had earned everyone's trust and respect. Their lives were surely going to change when she came back as a Ruler.Jesse's mother stared at Becky and her husband with a dumbfounded expression on her face. Even though she now had faith in Elsa that she would succeed, they had not even begun the game yet. Why were Becky and her husband celebrating as if the game was over? They were clearly getting ahead of themselves.She hoped that their expectations would not be shattered as she also stood to gain if Elsa succeeded. S

    Eric Jett kept staring at Elsa on the screen as it was apparent that she was going to return as a second Ruler even if she failed. Across the various viewing centers in Lockwood, the viewers who were in support of Elsa began jubilating loudly because Elsa had become a second Ruler.The gong sounded again at the forest and Caden quickly began climbing the hill. Like the other two contestants, he had never climbed the Guampe tree before. Although he had been involved in so many activities while growing up, he had never bothered with the Guampe tree because he never thought that one day it would matter.When he finally stood in front of the tree, he used his fingers to touch the viscous liquid on the body of the tree. He now understood why they were all falling. He wished he could be allowed to use a weapon, he would have climbed it effortlessly but the eldest council member had clearly said that they were to use only their hands.Left with no other choice, he circled his arms around the

    Elsa stared at Eric Jett for a while. He seemed to plead with his eyes for her to accept him as her father. She turned her face back to Ruler Bentley Buthelezi and smiled before saying, "But how can that be? Is it possible for me to have a father and not be aware? As I said before, I have known only one parent all my life and that's my beloved mother, Becky. I have no idea what Eric Jett is talking about but you can ask my mother, perhaps she would know better."Caden and Dawson stood by the side watching the drama unfold. The crowd below the stage was wondering what was going on while Miguel searched around for his mother. He knew exactly what was going on atop the stage even without being there. He also knew that his mother must be going through a hard time right now, all thanks to his incompetence and his father's shameless greed. He finally found his mother sitting by a corner sulking with a tear-streaked face. He ran to her side and immediately hugged her. She cried some more a

    Gavin wiped Elsa's tears and said, "Silly girl, why would you think I would be happy when you are miserable? Does Caden know that you are carrying his child?"Elsa shook her head and said, "I just found out about it today. I haven't had the opportunity to tell him and he is in his clan which is far from here."Gavin thought for a while and said, "Take my horse and go to Caden. Tell him about this pregnancy and don't worry about things here.You don't need to marry Jesse if you are miserable about it. I will still be happy because your happiness matters a lot to me.""But if I take your horse, how will you get back home?"

She pleaded with them to leave because she wanted to go back inside.They all thanked her for her forgiveness and left but Eric Jett told himself that this was progress. He wasn't going to give up because he knew that even though Elsa had acknowledged him as her father, she still had grudges against him.He decided that he was going to keep on trying until Elsa got rid of the anger in her heart.Jesse's mother came back from the market with so many bags containing foodstuffs.

Eric Jett stared at the both of them quietly but just as Riley was about to leave he stopped her. He told her that he still regarded her as his wife and Miguel was still his son but they had all treated Elsa very badly and needed to seek her forgiveness.Riley began to cry and promise that she would do whatever Eric Jett wanted as long as he allowed her to keep her position beside him and take back their son Miguel.Elsa ran outside the viewing centre but Caden was already gone.

    Elsa stared at Gavin Blake in surprise. "Do you have another son that I am not aware of or are you talking about Jesse? Because I am very much aware that Jesse has a girlfriend."Gavin bent his head. "Jesse is single now Elsa but it's fine. I have always wanted you to be a member of my family from when you were just a little girl but I also want you to be happy.Forget about what I have just said. When you have found the man you wish to get married to, please do not hesitate to tell me. I should get going now. Take care of yourself my child and look after your mother as always."Gavin turned and walked toward his horse but Elsa felt really troubled seeing him walk away. "Hold on Gavin." She ran after him and held his hands. "I will do it, Gavin. I've known for a very long time about this desire of yours and I cannot bear to see it make you so unhappy. I will get married to Jesse and I will become your daughter-in-law. Gavin, if you ever feel troubled about anything or need my help i

    Becky thought for a while and asked Elsa, "Forget about who you love for a moment, can you see yourself getting married to Dawson?" Elsa shook her head and said, "I feel really disturbed just thinking about it." "Then, that's your answer, my child. If it makes you so uncomfortable, then I wouldn't advise you to marry him. Remember what I said to you earlier? What matters is what you really want. As long as you feel happy in your heart, I will support whatever decision you take." Elsa thanked her mother with a hug before finally retiring for the night.The following morning, Elsa got ready to meet with Bentley as was customary. When she came out of the winners' palace, she was surprised to see Zayden, the young man who was formerly her fan and now her friend. She smiled warmly at him and Zayden felt as if his heart was going to explode."Are you here to see me or someone else? I am going to the Ruler's palace for something important so I don't really have much time," Elsa said.Zayd

    Dawson breathed a sigh of relief. Elsa waited for him to go on but he kept staring at her instead so she said, "I am quite busy Dawson so you might want to hurry up. He nodded his head and said, "Elsa, I like you. The truth is that I have loved you ever since we were at the Ulundi forest but I didn't want to tell you until we got out. I wanted you to be focused and not get distracted by anything. Elsa, will you be my queen?"Elsa looked at Dawson in surprise. She could not believe that he held such feelings for her. She tried to recall if there was any time he did anything for her in the forest that may have revealed how he felt about her. She suddenly remembered how he had resuscitated her when she lost consciousness after the crabbing game.But he had done the same for Miguel too, so did that mean he loved Miguel? She smiled at him and said, "I sincerely appreciate your feelings for me Miguel. I promise that I really do but I can't marry you. To be very honest, right now my mind i
