The seer anticipated the King's arrival each day to conduct the purification rituals, yet Igwe III from the Amazu Accent Kingdom failed to appear.
Enraged by his disregard for her healing powers, she placed a curse on the King for his mockery.
She cautioned Elder Agu to exclude her from any future matters concerning the King, before leaving in sorrow.
Eight days later, the monarch of Umuazu Accent Kingdom passed away, joining his ancestors.
His death stirred a commotion throughout the entire community and its surroundings.
While the elders convened to arrange the King's burial, disagreements prevented them from reaching a unanimous decision.
Elder Agu accused Nze Okoro (Mma’s father) of contributing to the King's demise by inviting a Catholic priest for healing, sparking a conflict among the elders who supported Nze Okoro.
Following the funeral, the Onuowu assumed control over the community affairs as the prime minister, in anticipation of the next King's coronation.
Adanne sought Nze Okoro to discuss his impending coronation.
Adanne suggested that Nze Okoro should first reconcile his family by bringing back his daughter Mma and grandchild.
She reminded him of his profound knowledge of the kingdom's customs, particularly regarding children born outside marriage, who are integrated into the mother’s family.
Nze Okoro was silent, regretful of his decision to support his wife in ostracizing their only daughter.
Adanne pointed out that Mma’s situation could turn into a blessing if her child is a boy, ensuring a successor for Nze Okoro’s future kingship.
Adanne, expressing her concern as his only sister, urged him to contact their cousin in the city who might know Mma’s whereabouts.
Nze Okoro acknowledged her advice, mentioning that the Reverend Father gave him similar counsel to reunite with his daughter.
Immediately, he phoned his cousin in the city, though their conversation yielded no positive leads on Mma’s whereabouts.
They expanded their search to the neighboring communities in hopes of finding her.
Nze Okoro was tormented by sleepless nights, pondering the fate of his daughter and whether she would ever forgive him and her mother.
