The news of the Oracle’s betrayal spread quickly throughout Ile-Ife and the surrounding villages. Everyone was in shock and disbelief. How could the Oracle, who had been trusted and respected for so long, have betrayed them?
The Princess was furious. She had been betrayed by the man she had trusted and loved. She vowed to get her revenge.
The Princess began to plan her revenge. She knew that the Oracle had a weakness: his love for her. She decided to use this to her advantage.
The Princess sent out invitations to all the villages in the area, inviting them to a grand feast in her honor. She knew that the Oracle would not be able to resist the temptation of seeing her again.
When the day of the feast arrived, the Oracle arrived with a large entourage. The Princess welcomed him warmly, but her eyes were cold and calculating.
The feast was a grand affair, with delicious food and plenty of entertainment. But the Princess had something else planned.
When the feast was over, the Princess asked the Oracle to stay behind. She told him that she had something to show him.
The Princess led the Oracle to a secret room in her palace. Inside, she had set up a magical mirror. The Oracle was astonished.
The Princess told the Oracle that the mirror was a magical portal to the spirit world. She said that if he looked into the mirror, he would be able to see the truth of his betrayal.
The Oracle was terrified, but he could not resist the temptation. He looked into the mirror and saw the truth of his betrayal. He was filled with shame and regret.
The Princess smiled. She had her revenge. The Oracle had been punished for his betrayal.
The Princess had her revenge, but she still felt a deep sadness. She had loved the Oracle, and she had been betrayed. She knew that she would never be able to trust him again.
The Oracle left Ile-Ife, never to return. The Princess was left with a broken heart and a lesson learned. Betrayal was a bitter pill to swallow, and she would never forget it.
