Dike woke up to find himself lying inside his mother's shrine. He was too weak to rise and so Nneoma said to her son " My love, lay still until you regain your strength " but Dike rose to his feet at once " Mother, what has happened to Onwem? Mother!
"Calm down my son, the king has made his decision"
Dike ran out of the shrine and made for the king's palace. He was running and panting, in his voice he was calling on his love "Onwem, I can't loose you, I can't stay alive and watch them execute you"
The king and the officials are in the palace when Dike struggled in, with the guards trying to restrain him. He was shouting on top of his voice.
"Leave him alone" the king ordered the guards and turned to face Dike. ' what do you want, has the power I bestowed on you not enough that you would intrude the privacy of me and my officials?"
Dike kneels in tears "please your Highness, spare the innocent girl. I was acting on my own. She gave me no advise. Please, I will leave this kingdom with her and never return, please set her free"
The officials sighed in disagreement. The king hit his hand on his seat as his face trembled in rage. "You set my enemy free and now you seek for mercy? Go and find the king of Icho whom you sent into exile out of mercy and bring me his head and I will let your woman go"
Dike stood up, bowed before the king and uttered "I will do as you have commanded but am I allowed to see Onwem's face again before I embark on this journey?
The king signalled the guards to take Dike to the dungeon where Onwem was locked up.
On sighting Dike, Onwem sprang up and gave him a tight hug, with tears in her eyes she begged him " please take me out of here. I have been starving, my people must be worried, please Dike, don't leave me here"
Tears filled Dike's eyes as he cuddled her close. "Hold yourself Onwem. I have to embark on a journey now. But I will be back for you"
"What journey? She asked in tears.
You don't need to know about it but you should trust me" he replied and tried to leave in heartbreak but her voice stopped him.
" you want to go after the king of Icho and kill him for Our king, but I put it to you that my life does not worth another person's life. Dike my heart, if you find him, promise me you will not kill him but bring him to Abiam alive. Promise me"
Dike turned to look at her. "I don't know what to promise you but all I know is that you can't die now. I will do every possible thing to save you"
Dike leaves at once as Onwem squats and cry silently.
While outside Dike sees the princess dressed in her war cloth.
"Dike, I will go with you" take me with you to find this king you sent away"
The princess's beauty shone like the setting sun. Her hair cleverly packed to reveal her beauty. Dike thought (This is the opportunity to pay back her father for what he has put Onwem through. I'm alone now but with this princess in my palms, her father the king will be my puppet)
"Come my princess, I will take you with me"
The princess smiled and they mounted their horses and rode off after Dike's brief discussion with a palace guard.
The king of Abiam is obviously happy as they merry inside the palace. The palace guard that discussed with Dike approached the king and bowed before him, giving him a letter.
"Who sent this?" The king asked.
"It is from Dike. He said I should deliver it to you before he rode off with the princess"
The palace guard replied.
The king was shocked as he shouted "with who?"
He opened the letter and reads "If you wishes to see your precious princess again, your highness, you must release Onwem and send her and her people to Icho kingdom with five thousand foot soldiers to answer to my command. Failure to do this and you will never see your daughter again"
The king shouts on top of his voice as the officials stood in shock.
