Narda receive some women for a tea on the afternoon. One of her friend told ÒYou have a strange domestic employeeÓ and Narda says that Lothar is MandrakeÕs all hands man. While these talks, someone came through the window to talk to Lothar. Queen Ebony, unknown to Lothar, is doing things in the King Lothar tribes area. All of a sudden, they take the plane to Africa. At the airport, they asked about the Queen of E... and people told them to not say that word... Who is that Queen Ebony? Read the story to know!
