ROYAL KISS
“Marry me please, my love?” the eighteen-year-old prince of the small village of Umueobe begged Nkem, the most beautiful girl in his village. He was a prince and she was a nobody. He wanted her to be his princess but she declined because she was only twelve. Nkem wanted to continue going to school, she wanted more education, she was never going to give in to being forced into early marriage which were the predominant fate of all the girls in the 1970s era. “The prince will have to wait until I have finished school,” that was the ultimatum from the intelligent Nkem.
Nkem’s mother, Ugomma, was furious. She wanted her daughter to forgo her education and marry the prince immediately. Ugomma had everything planned out. She was prepared to go to any length to become the woman whose daughter was married to the charming prince. This was the dream of every mother in the village, to become a royalty by marriage. She set out with her lover, Ike to convince her daughter to become the prince’s wife before he made another girl his wife.
But Nkem made the unexpected decision of her life. She ran away from home to continue her education. She saw the need for change in the village attitude to girls’ education and early marriage. Nkem was truly in love with the prince but she believed in herself and not the throne. The question is if the handsome educated prince truly loves her as he said? Will he support the dream of the woman of his dream and preserve the ROYAL KISS just for his love?
