Aniya, who had refused the king's proposal of marriage, was kept under his surveillance in the palace. The people of Larinto suffered greatly under the king's ill-advised decisions. The kingdom, once strong and prosperous, was now falling apart. However, what the king and his loyal subjects failed to realise was that it was Ajike who had raised Larinto to its former glory. He was the one who had made it strong and powerful. And now, with his death, the kingdom was once again falling into ruin.

Ajike faced his fate with courage and grace, just like his ancestors before him. He was a true prince, loyal to the end. Meanwhile, his son, who had been separated from his mother and raised by maids in the palace, grew up spoiled and blinded by the king's lies.

The tragedy of Ajike's fate brought sadness to the kingdom, and his legacy lived on in the hearts of the people. The once young and handsome prince, who had almost been killed by his mother, Queen Adesewa, for not marrying the woman of her choice, now faced the ultimate betrayal from the king he had considered a friend.

The people of Larinto will always remember Ajike and the sacrifices he made for his kingdom. In the end, Ajike's unwavering loyalty to the king led to his tragic downfall. Nevertheless, his legacy will forever live on in the hearts of the people of Larinto.
