Anatse greeted them and entered a large hall called Shakallo, where only the most secret people could enter. It was a kind of model building that resembled a museum. It was spacious and airy, with some elaborate decorations and a large carpet covering the entire length of the hall. There were piles of tumtums of silk thrown on the carpet, and they were wearing royal attire.

Five people were sitting in the men's hall, one old woman, the Mai Babban Daki who was an old woman, at least 76 years old, her eyes were bright, she was wearing a kaybba, holding a tissue in her hand and carrying a charbi, then the Waziri, Wambai, Makama and the Sarkin Dawaki, then he saw two other senior men who looked like the Mai Babban Daki who came in and sat down too, the boy fell in front of him and met these people who, after the king, were the most important people in the palace, he knew what was going on, he came out to the middle of the room and found the Mai Babban Daki outside and said to him "Gwaggo, where did you send your akari?" She shook her head before slowly wiping her tears away and saying, "Your father has appointed you as the eldest son of King Kabeer." She quickly looked at the others in the room who were watching him and said, "Oh," the eldest of them, Makama, said, "Have all your brothers arrived? The King arrived at four o'clock in his prime." He was completely calm and composed, and said, "Prince Halilu, Ibrahima, they are here, Munir just called me, their plane landed in Abuja, and Umaru, their plane has just left Lagos, and so on..." There was a moment of silence, and then all the people in the room said, "What about Prince Riyad?" Adan slowly lowered his head and said, "I can't find him anymore." The lady in the big room said, "I've never seen a poor boy like Riyad. Today he is in Egypt, tomorrow he is in Cyprus, tomorrow he is in Oman, tomorrow he is in Zanzibar, tomorrow he is in China or Iceland. Oh, I'm Shatu. He is in France today. Check his number. What about Dan Buri? If you don't have his number, go to the Fulani and answer." In a soft voice, Dan Buri (Kabeer) said, "You fool, you don't know how to make a full moon, if only one day he would not leave her, and even his Fulani mother doesn't know where he is, because she doesn't even call him, I don't know what's wrong with Riyad. He would rather travel the world than stay where his umbilical cord was cut. He grew up not knowing…..." The king of Wambai's hand shook and said, "Enough." He calmed down a bit and said, "Now, for his sake, we will not delay doing what is right for the king. I know that wherever he is in the world, he will see the news of his father's death, so we will see him. Now, get up and go." He slowly got up and walked out, leaving a small gap between him and the others after he left.

One of the people in the hall said in anger, "Gwaggo, I've told this time without number to Mai Ma Taba, he should call Riyad to order, among the King's sons, there is no one as intelligent as Riyad, he never sat down to learn anything about our customs, now what will the people see is just the information" everyone in the room was looking at him except the one next to him called Usmanu said "no, Yaya Riyad, he is a calm boy, we all know his business takes him to these countries and Mai Ma Taba agreed with that and gave him the go ahead since he saw the boy has a passion for business, Riyad is a very good boy, we all know that" he said with a heavy heart "you are talking until you get to me, answer Usmanu" that the son called Hambali, they would start an argument The Queen of the room said "shup! Hambali Usmanu, do you know that your brother is dead? Are you trying to fight for his son?" They all fell silent and did not speak further...
