Mum:my dad which is your grand dad is a wonderful herbalist he is a wonderful man and down to earth he save alot of people in d village, in one word he is a good herbalist but he have one enemy which was his elder brother
his Elder brother is also a herbalist but a very bad one everyone in d village is afraid of him, those that patronises him are those evil like him, he didn’t have alot of customers because of his evil ways, he love seeing people suffer,whereby my dad will try to provide for them this is the reason why he dislike my dad.he sees him as a blockage
One day the king of d village summoned both of them he told them he want to choose his royal herbalist,they will have to take a test and who ever win will be his royal herbalist . The winner will be cornonated and will be given the royal herbalist book which will make him thrice powerful. They took the test and my dad won .my dad elder brother was furious and left the palace angrily to my dad house it was my mum that was around and he killed her as a pay back to his younger brother.
My dad later found out that it was his elder brother that killed his wife and he report to the king.My dad elder brother was summoned they had a huge misunderstanding on this at the palace before he was banished from the village for what he did.
On the coronation day everything was going as planed until my dad saw someone that looks like his elder brother he follow the person and see clearly that it was his elder brother which was banished from the village two months ago.
My dad ask him what he wanted he said he want the royal herbalist book which was given to my dad as a gift.
my dad didn’t allow him which lead to a fight between them in d palace, in the process my dad elder brother was turned to a stone by my dad because he is thrice powerful.since then there was peace in the village
Mom: I hope u gain something from that
Me:of course mum
Bimbola:Alot
