One Picture And One Story Week #47

Since none of you wants to tell me the truth about the time of birth, our sons have to go on a battle, it is the only way to known the eldest, at this point, I am not in a position to deny you rights as my son, I am certain that you are all sons but as for the throne I can never play favouritism because it is only for the eldest, I chose to stand in-between.

One craziest thing is that these two are not twins, but have the same body structure, have the same resemblance to their father that no one could deny their inheritance, some even mistook one name for the other because of a high level of similarity, only the mother knew them well.

Another craziest thing is that these two were born on the same day from different mothers, what a coincidence!! unfortunately, no one knows the time because while King Dele was in the palace sorting out some cases the messenger from the two queens arrived at the same time with the message of the birth of a son, this is the first time this has happened in this great kingdom, the king astrologer and wise men could not explain this, this seems to alter science facts, even the king couldn't explain this.

King Dele's polygamous relationship is a result of his first wife's inability to give him a son, he loved her dearly but had to go by the customs and traditions of the land (if the queen doesn't give birth to a son after 7 years of marriage the king must take in another woman) and the advice of his father in other for his generation not to be cut off.

What King Dele took for granted has come into play(a contention for the throne), this incident has never happened in history, with this resulting incident the elders set another custom in the kingdom which was that if a twin is born or if there is a coincidental birth of boys in the kingdom of a polygamous king, then there has to be a contention for the throne, a wrestling to compare strength, because it is certain that they eldest would win.

Every event has a challenge and this one poses a great challenge, these two boys have been so friendly right from infancy and despite their mother's strife to make each one of them superior to the other, they remain clung to each other especially now that they have become men fully responsible and capable of acting in place of their father if eventually his transits.

The question here is, who is the eldest, do you think these two will fight, if they fight who will win? I will bring this story close to completion in the next entry and remain active🍷, I want this suspense to persist. Entries from @dwings, @hahdie and @wakeupkitty would be fun reading
