Cleopatra drag him from the door.. She look back, when she notice no one was watching, she turn back to face him..
"Are you crazy,how can you insinuate such a thing?Cleopatra retorted
Raphael doesn't know what to believe, what if what his instincts tells him was true, is she really sleeping with the prince, she has heard about her detriments from the other guards, some claimed they had slept with her...
"But you were...
"I was what? Cleopatra jump in
Raphael sigh, he doesn't have any proof so there was no need jumping to conclusions...
"'never mind"He said shabbily
"I hope you dont go around spreading this rumour like the virus that you are.. "Cleopatra retorted
"I may be many things Cleo, but am not a gossip, i say what am sure of"He replied with a bit of anger in his tone, then he walk away thinking of the possibility of his thoughts..
Cleopatra inhaled deeply..
"That was a close one"She muttered to herself

*******************
"Odumodu the tiger, The one no one can trample on"Chief Mayo said as Odumodu joined him in the vip bar...
Odumodu sat on a chair opposite him
"This hotel of yours have really grown bigger than what we imagined"Chief Mayo said
Odumodu chulkled"And it will continue to grow no Matter what the haters will say"
"To great heights"Chief Mayo said raising his glass of wine
"Mayo, whose side are you on? Odumodu ask
"What do you mean?Mayo said after he gulp down the wine
"Aren't you the one who told me that if Carlos eventually becomes king, we will be doomed,you said we need to start making our own plans"
"But Carlos didn't become the king, his son did"
"You and i know it is Carlos who is rulling"Odumodu said
"Well, we can still make our own plans"Chief Mayo said impetuously
"I can see you made yours by giving out your daughter to his son"Odumodu blared out
"Odumodu, giving out my daughter for marriage doesn't have anything to do with our plans.. "Mayo said in defence
"I see, so what are plans exactly?Odumodu ask curiously
Mayo grin"I plan on becoming the chairman of the elite club"
"Carlos has always be the chairman"
"That is because no one has dared to challenge him"
"The bourgeoisie from all the elite groups has always supported him, your votes can never beat his"Odumodu said
"That is why he will always be richer than us, dont you have any ambition Odumodu?
"I do but....
"carlos and Buzo will take everything the late king left away right under our nose, for example, how did you Buzo became the prime minister?Mayo ask
"You were there, the people chorus his name"
Mayo gigled"What people, those useless elders that are against the king or the lazy youths that were bribed?
"He volunteer...
"And exactly why did he volunteered?Mayo ask
When no answer came from Odumodu, he continued
"because he knows he will surely become the prime minister"he added
ODUMODU nodded to the possibility of it
"Now is the time we need to start making our move"
"Competing with Carlos over chairmanship of the elite club, thats is going too far.. "
"Dont be a fool Odumodu, you have grown soft, you are no longer the powerful man i use to know, where do you think the late king companies has gone to..?
"His son"
"Which son, the dead one! Mayo said then he gritted his teeth, those companies are under Carlos name now"
"Carlos cant possibly do that without telling us, we have shares in those companies,we are shareholders just the way he is,he will only be inviting trouble if he does that, and trust me am willing to give him double"
"Spoken like the Odumodu i use to know, that trouble you just said, you better start putting it to practice because he has done it"
"He wouldn't dare... "

*******************
Francis breathe heavily as he sit on the floor..
"And there goes the last one"Levi said as he drop the last block
Francis look at the blocks and then at the distance they pass just to get the blocks here, though the distance wasn't really much but to him, been his first time of doing such a hard labour, it was a long distance...
Levi sat beside him..
"So what now"Francis ask curiously
"I dont know, we just wait for Zed to come.... Or probably the prima"Levi replied
Francis gritted his teeth, the thought of the princess invades his head, he try to wave the thought away but it was stuck there, stuck in his head....
"The world you came from, what are the people like? Levu ask curiously
"Like me... "Francis replied shabbily
"You mean lazy like you.. "Levi said jokingly
"Am not lazy, i just carried tons of blocks"
Levi chuckled"How many did you carry, ten or nine, you almost collapsed if i hadn't took that one from you"
Francis felt a bit embarrassed"I was hungry and sweaty and really tasty of water... "
levi wink at him...
Francis grin"The people there are good"Francis added
"Are there kings there? Levi ask
Francis nodded,then the thought of his father dying creep into his head, he was almost at the verge of crying.. "There are good kings there and good princes"He added as he force a smile in his face
"Are there slave hunters? Levi ask
"No, slave hunting has been long abolished there"
"So what were you back there in your world?
Francis sniff,will he believe him if he said he was a prince... "I was just a simple person trying to make a living"
"dead or alive parent? Levi ask
Francis wipe his eyes with the back of his wrist to stop the tear that was about to fall from his eyes..
"Dead... "he said faintly
"Mine too"Levi said wishing his father was dead, but what difference does ut make, his father abandoned them, he was dead to him..
"But am not feeling sad anymore, i have learn to survive without them and i suggest you do the same"Levi added
Francis if he is ever going to forget that, he lost his entire family in a day, those men will surely pay, no matter the barriers he face in his journey,he knew for a fact, he will survive all hurdles and life threatening disasters and he will make those chiefs pay ten times his suffering, his fathers, brother and mother even if that is the last thing he do on earth...
Levu sigh as a bell ring..
"What is the bell for? Francis ask curiously
"You mean you dont know what it means when a bell is ring in a slave camp? Levi ask
Francis shook his head
"It means your greatest wish has been fulfilled.. "Levi replied as he stood up
"My greatest wish, which is...?
"Its time to eat"
Francis immediately stood up, he watch as slaves began to troop out to another arena...
"Lets go eat before someone else dies"Levi said as he begin to walk away following the trail of the rest slaves
"Are you referring to me? Francis ask as he rush after him...
Levi wink"I was talking to the hungry one.. "
"Who turns out to be me"Francis said
Levi shrugged"You said it not me"..
They both gigled...
They walk into the arena, the slaves who has gotten there first formed three lines...
Levi joined the third line and Francis stood behind him
"I think the lady in the other line serves faster"Levi said
"So you want me to go there?
"Yas, you know just in case i dont get mine on time, we can eat yours..."Levi said
"And when yours come?
Levi grin"I eat it alone.. "
"Fair bargain.... "

******************
The guards immediately stood as they got to the threshold of the temple, the king bow his head and went in...
"What troubles the great Dafuda? Dasari the priestess said as she serve water from a pot made of dry wood with a calabash..
"Priestess i need to know what the gods think about the forthcoming war"king Dafuda said
"What can you possibly understand from what the gods think? Dasari said
King Dafuda snort as the heat of the fire begin go affect him"I want go know if the gods supports my decision"
"Your decision to go to war?
"Yes Dasari"
"I will listen to my son if i were you"Dasari said
King Dafuda wonder how she knew then it struck him, she was a priestess, a representative of ogini...
"Jafar has threw sand in our faces, if it is war he wants, war he shall get"King Dafuda blared out
"So i have to know,does the gods support me or not? He added anxiously
"I only speak what the gods says to me"Dasari said
"Then consult them, isn't that the reason am here"
The gods are not men that can be consulted because some king is in need of answers"Dasari said
"Am the reason why the people still worship the gods, without me there will be no gods, so you will shut up and.....
"If i were you i will choose my words carefully,you are standing in the temple of ogini, even kings are not exempted from his fierce anger"Dasari said cutting him short
"Knowing if the gods are on my side is not a big thing to ask, is it? King Dafuda said
"I shall do as you have said not because you have said it but because you seek from the gods before rushing into actions...."
"Go home now great king, you dont want to be here when the gods show their faces"
King Dafuda grunts, then he turn around and left...

********************
Claude pace around her room, she wonder why Rick wasn't picking his calls, this was the fifteenth time she was calling him but he wasn't picking, she wonder if he is alright or could it be her father's thugs have caught him, no they couldn't have, if the have, her father would have throw the news in her face..
She call the number again, it was the same, he didn't pick.. She was fed up and scared at the same time..

The knock came again, then she furiously open the door...
"What! She blared at the maid knocking
"Am sorry princess, someone is looking for you"
"Who?
"He refused to tell us his identity, he just said he wants to see you"
"Are you nuts, someone came to see me and he refuse to give his identity and you let him in"
"Sorry princess, i can tell the guards to send him away if that is what you wish.. "
"Yes that is what i wish,send whoever that nobody is away. "
"Yes princess"The maid said and turn to walk away..
Claude thought of who the person might be, she was curious...
"Wait... "She said and the maid turn to face her..
"Where is he? She ask
"Outside princess"
She exhales, still debating on the fact if she should gi or not....
She follows the maid outside, there she saw a young man with a face cap that almost covered his face, he has an awful beards, he was wearing a faded jean and a white T-shirt....

FRANCIS watch with enthusiasm as she smile and give the slaves snacks..
"I thought what she is doing is forbidden"Levi said
"You mean giving food to the slaves?ZED interjects and folded his hands
"Yes, how can she be doing that with so much excitement irrespective of who she is?Levi said
"Nobody question what she does except her brothers"Zed replied
"Brothers.. How many princes? Levi cut in curiously
"Two,The older brother was sent as an envoy to king Jafar..."Zed said
"She have a good heart"Francis muttered with a smile wide in his cheeks
"Yes, she is the only good one among them"Zed said
"King Jafar, you mean the king in the east"Levi said as he remenbers what his mothet had told him about the king
"Who is king Jafar? Francis ask as he focus his eyes on them
"He is more ruthless than any king you have seen, he is bad news"Zed said
Francis wink, since he got here all he has seem were ruthless people so he wasn't surprised if another is added to the list..
He turn back his focus to the princess...his heart began to beat rapidly as she begin to come to their direction..
She was followed by three other girls whi Francis thought may be her maids.
She was beautiful, her skin was glistening with a sensual sweat, the beads in her well designed gown shone light that fits her complexion,if the gods are real, then this beauty coming his way was certainly their masterpiece..
She had a kind of understated beauty, her light skin was completely flawless, maybe helping people like him to relax and the be happy is the reason her skin glowed so much,his heart melted when she wave her long black hair that plunged over her shoulders ...
He felt the pounding beats of hus heart as she came closer to him, she had a honey sweet lips that were lilac soft and can drive any guy crazy, her slender eyebrows and velvety eyelashes move as het cheeks curve to her beautiful smile,she had a dainty nose and a shiny halo white teeth...
"Hi.... "She said to him
Right there Francis knew he was in love, she had a soothing voice that rendered him speechless, She took the donough from the basket her maid was holding and stretch out her hand to him..
He couldn't move, he was speechless, he just stood staring at her like a fool...
He realised how stupid he was when Levi hit him in the head...
He felt abash, how could he be staring at her like that, she wonder what she will think of him, she must be thinking he is stupid, a stupid slave...
"Oh... Am sorry"He said shabbily as he colleted the donough from her..
"For what exactly?She ask with a smile..
Francis grin as her maids chulkled...
"For.... ,i. Mean.... "he stammered
"Its nothing princess"Levi cut in...
Princess Katherine gaze at him, she pick another donough and handed it over to Levi, whi received it with a feeling of gratitude...
"Thank you princess"Levi said
She did same with Zed who bow in thanking her..
Francis couldn't control himself, his heartbeat keep pounding....what was wrong with him,it doesn't seem like this was the first time he was seeing a girl, a beautiful girl.. But this girl has make an impression on him, he need to let go of this thoughts...
The princess glance at him but he look away avoiding her eyes...
He felt relieved when she walked away...
"Seems like someone is in love"Levi said jokingly..
Francis shrugs as if they weren't referring to him..
"I saw the way you were looking at her"Levi said
"Me...! Francis replied a bit abashed..
"You aren't the first person to look at her in such manner"Zed interjects
"Whooh, stop there guys, i dont know what you guys are saying,what manner did i look at her? He ask extremely embarrassed at himself...
"It was more like you lost your senses when she was giving you that donough... "Levi said
Francis chulkled"I didn't, my thoughts were somewhere else"Francis said in defence not really sure if what he said was stupid
"I guess your thoughts were filled with how she becomes your girlfriend.. "Levi said
"Seriously!Francis blared out
"I will advise you to wave such thoughts from your head, the last person whi dared to befriend her, his fingers were chopped off..."Zed interjects
Francis grunts"First of all, i dont have such thoughts, secondly why are you telling me about the last person who tried to befriend her"
"It will serve as a reminder just in case....
"Just in case what? Francis jump in
"Just in case, you know.... "Zed stammered
"Nothing of such is going to happen"Francis said when he knew what Zed was trying to drive out..
"Good, because it will be really sad to lose a friend"Levi interjects
"Or the friends fingers, probably with his head"Zed added
Francis inhale deeply, he wasn't in love, he cant be in love, this was the first time he was seeing her, love dont happen like that.. He just admire her, nothing more, nothing less.. Just admire...

AKPATU

Desmond groan as he pace around in his room, who the hell does the princess think she is, he was in charge, he is the king, how could she treat him like that, he kick the chair in the room, just then a knock came on the door, he quickly open and drag Cleopatra inside, he lock the door and push her in the bed, then he began to pull off his clothes, he was angry,angry at the fact the princess shows no respect for him, angry at the fact he was finally realizing he is beginning to fall in love with her, how can she reject him, he needed to fuse his anger on someone and fucking this stupid maid was the only way to let go...
"Am going to bang you so hard that you wont be able to forget me in a hurry, he pulled off his trousers...
She smile and begin to lick her fingers in a seductive way as she sees his bulge in his pant, she begin to remove her clothes until it was just her bra and her pant, then she began to rub the tip of her breast with her fingers and that made him more hard, she untie the hook making him have a clearer sight...
She moan when he jump on her, he pulled off her oant almost torning it apart in the process, she moan when he dip one finger in her, and then make it two..
Her breathe was heavy, she moan heavily when he started thrusting her hard with his fingers..
She took hold of his bulge...
He took out his fingers,pinned her down with one hand and dip the fingers in her mouth..
He remove his fingers and kiss her forcibly, his tongue tingling in her mouth, her legs drew his pant down realeasing his hard d**k...
Her legs wrapped tightly around him and his d**k was pinned between them his shaft pressed firmly into her swollen clit.
He began to thrust back and forth over it to keep it stimulated and she moaned into his mouth. She broke the kiss just enough to whisper, “Now—put it in me now!”
He moved back, lined himself up to her dripping wet vagina and pushed forward. She exhaled in relief with a hushed ‘YESSSSSSS’ as his d**k slid into home base. She had her arms around his back and smiled bright as she looked into his eyes. A few hairs were running down her face; he brushed them behind her ear with one hand and traced her jaw line to her chin before kissing her again. Their bodies rocked together slowly to make sure the bed didn’t make any ‘obvious sounds’ that would arouse people's attention..
He kissed his way down to her breast to take a nipple in his mouth while gently massaging her other breast with his hand. In doing so, his d**k backed out of her until just two or three inches were left inside of her. He was making short strokes in and out while licking and sucking on her nipples. In this new position and as luck would have it, he found her G spot! He could feel the head of his dick rubbing against it with each short stroke. Her legs shot out to each side of him; putting her in a full split on her back. She was quickly going into ecstasy and was biting her lower lip in attempt to stifle her high-pitched squeals and moans. Her incredibly tight vagina began to clamp down tighter on him and he could feel pulsing on the top side of his rock solid d**k. He knew she was having an orgasm and that brought on his own. He quickly pushed in as deep as he could go and blasted her cervix with cum from point-blank range. She screamed at the sensation like a mouse being attacked by a cat before she grabbed the stuffed pillow next to her, jammed it into her face and finished her orgasmic scream into it.
He begin to breathe heavily as he fell on her..
"Did you enjoy that your majesty?She ask
He didn't reply, instead he stood up...."You should get and get out before i come out from the bathroom, and remember, if i hear of this from anyone, your head and whoever person that finds out will go for it... "He said and went inside the bathroom..
Cleopatra just smile, then she stood up and dress, she was feeling excited, she opened the door, went outside and close the door back, then she lean her back on the door...as she continue smiling to herself..
"What are you doing here Cleo?
Shock ran through her as she saw Raphael standing there....
"Oh my God, are you sleeping with the king?

Francis spit blood from his mouth again,he grimace in pains,he wasn't really if he has lost a teeth,his tooth really hurts.....
Francis just keep staring at him not showing any concern for his question...
Francis thought that whoever he is, he was nothing but a bastard.
"How tell you show such insolence in front of the prince"The guard blared out and hit him again..
Francis staggered at the second blow but he didn't fall, he became furious and was inclined to hit him back, been a prince doesn't give him the right to trample on people whenever he chooses....
He regained the balance, then he began to fold his fist..
"My prince.."
Francis grunts when he saw the guy who have given them the job og carrying blocks running towards them..
"My prince, please have mercy on him, he is new here"The boy said
"I know"the prince said not removing his gaze from Francis who reciprocated the look..
"What are you still doing here, get out"The boy shouted at Francis..
Francis was infuriated, he wonder what kind of a prince he is....
"Are you deaf, get out"The boy shouted again..
Francis at the boy on the floor whose look was telling him not to leave..
"But.....
"Go"The boy said and push him...
Levi hold Francis from behind and drag him away...
"Forgive him my prince, be rest assured he will be punished for saying foul words to the great prince"The boy said
The prince smile, a taunting wicked smile that disappeared within seconds....
"Teach KA-RU the code of conduct"The prince said, then he walk away with the guard..
The boy took a deep breath,he lift the boy on the floor up and took him out to a corner...
"Have you any idea what you have done? Levi blared out..
Francis didn't reply, he rushed back to where the boy was taken to..
"Seriously...! Levi muttered then he ran after him
"Is he ok"Francis ask when he got to where the boy is
"What kind of stunt did you think you pulled here? Zed the boy who had ask them to carry the block ask
"He was dying"Francis said in defence
"If i havent showed up, your head would have been hanging at the palace gate,that is prince Vuga, he is the most cruel and ruthless prince, you are very lucky he was in happy mood"
Francis scoffs"You call that a happy mood, that is wickedness"
The boy on the floor began go cough profusely, Francis rush to his side
"We need to help him"Francis said
"Haven't you learnt any lesson from what just happened"Levi interjects
Zed shook his head"There is nothing we can do for him"
"Come on, am sure you have a position here, you can get help for him with your position"Francis said
Zed chulkled"Is that what you think, am a slave like you, the prima just favours me, the day i fall out of favour,i become a working slave again"
Francis felt pity for the boy in the floor, for a moment he thought Zed can help him, now he knows he was like them.. Slaves
"He isn't the first slave to die in the line of duty, many have fallen before him"Zed said
"So you just leave them to die, they are humans, being a slave doesn't make them lesser.. "Francis retorted
"Say that to the king and kiss your sorry life goodbye"Zed said
Now Francis actually understood what Levi meant when he said the devil lives in the king, but not only him, he lives in everyone here...
The boy on the floor began to gasp for breath, he began to choke,he placed his hands on Francis as he fight for his life, but his breathe was fading, his skin was burning, he couldn't take it, then he finally let go and gave up the ghost...
Tears began to drop from Francis eyes, he close the boys eyes..even though he didn't know the boy, he felt sorry for him and it shattered his heart that he couldn't save him...
"We must sound the bell, another has fallen"Zed said

She knows for a fact that wherever she goes now, those idiots will follow

Desmond felt embarrassed...
Jacob smile as Claude walk pass him..
"Hope we wil get to talk alot sometimes"Jacob said but she didn't reply, didn't turn around, she just walk straight....

EPISODE 25

MOGULA

Francis could hear the rapid beating of his heart as they were brought before king Dafuda..Francis wonder what the kingvwant with them, he sigh as he put the thoughts away,he was a slave and now the demon's property, the hall was empty now, Francis wonder if those men sitting on the floor were the elders or whatever they are call here...
Francis eyes met the kings eyes, He turn his gaze away from him and fuse it on the boy standing beside him, he was sure the boy was probably his age, he was young though his face seem rugged, a sword was hung on the side of his leather trousers, Francis wonder who he is, was he the kings son...
Francis turn his gaze from him and focus on the guards standing behind the king, they were dark in complexion with muscles burging out from every part of their body, their body built and physique was beyond everything from his imagination, they were more than bouncers, their face seem rugged and wicked....
"So slaves what are your names?
Francis took a deep breath when he heard king Dafudas question..., he stare at Levi who returned the look, from Levi expression he can tell that he was still angry but really he had no choice, though it wasn't intentional but he was a bit glad he made that decision..
His heart begin to pound when he realise the kings question was still hanging...
"Am Francis......"He said shabbily, fear grip him when he saw the dark stare from the boy he thought may be the kings son, he thought he had said something bad then he realise he just did a stupid thing, how could he not address him the way it supposed to be...
"Great king"he added calously..
He scoff as he the king grin.....
He look at Levi who was awfully quiet, he wonder if he was going to answer the king question...
"he is Levi"Francis said with shaking mouth..
"Is your friend dumb? King Dafuda ask
"I can speak Great king"Levi replied
"Good, because i dont keep dumb people in my court"King Dafuda said
Francis exhales as he caught Levi slightly gazing at him
"A KA-RU, where are you from KA-RU?King Dafuda ask
Francis was lost in thoughts on what to say to him, he cant say he is a prince, who will believe that....
"Am from the other side of the world great king"He answer with shaking mouth not really sure if the answer was stupid
"The other side of the world!, Do people really live there?
"Yes great king"Francis replied shabbily
"I thought beyond the river was nothing but sand"King Dafuda said
"Same is believed there Great king"Francis said
"I see,so how did you get here? He ask
Francis sigh as the memory of his father dying and gun men pursuring him and his brother began to creep into his head, he grunts as he remenbers how he jumped into the river..
"Is a long story great king"he replied
"One that cannot be told"The king said
Francis nodded praying the king doesn't persist with his questions
The king gritted then he turn his gaze to Levi..
"What about you? He ask
"Levi grunts"Am from the Ghazi tribe great king
"The Ghazi tribe suvives, i thought they were all killed by the Lord in the capital "The king said
"A few suvived great king"
"And i believe you are one of the few"
Levi nodded
The king reclined his back on the throne, he snap his finger, a guard rang a bell and a boy came in..
Francis wonder who the boy is..
"Follow him, he will tell you what to do"The king said..
Francis and Levi did as he has said, they followed the boy through a corner then they came into an open space, the place was totally different place, Francis wonder if they were still in the palace, he look around and some boys who he thought might be slaves digging holes, he wonder if that is what they will be doing, the boy led them to a pile of blocks...
"You will move those blocks to that end"The boy said
Francis was filled with Shock as he look at the blocks, he couldn't count, they were too much...
"This is much, how do we move everything?Francis ask anxiously
The boy chulkled"How do you think the others did it? He ask back
"We cant possibly do this, its too much, moreover we haven't even eaten anything, we are starving"Francis said
"You better start getting use to it, this is the easiest work around here"The boy said
"Are you kidding me? Francis said shock at his statement
The boy grin"The prima is coming for inspection this evening so i suggest you start working now"
"Prima, what is a prima...? Francis ask anxiously
"Or who? Levi added
"You will find out soon enough"The boy said,then he left
"Seriously Levi, this blocks are too much and the distance...
"Are you that lazy? Levi ask
"what!

**********************
Dad, i cant marry that girl"Desmond said as he collect the glass of drink from the house keeper and gulp it down
"What girl, the chief's daughter?Carlos ask
"Yes dad, she is so rude, she have no respect for me"
Carlos laugh
"Dad, this isnt funny, am serious.. "
"What do you expect, she is a princess, she was brought up like that but you are the king, you can handle her"
"I have tried that, she isn't the type that summits"
"Then show her who you are, act like the king, let her know you are the head and her owner"
Desmond exhales as he thought about what his father has just said, he is the king, he won't allow that tramp to disrespect him, he will put her exactly where she belongs....
"So when are precisely are you planning to wed the chief's daughter... "
Desmond sniffs,he hasn't really thought about that, all he keeps thinking about was Claude..
God he need to stop thinking about her, he cant be falling for her, he cant be, he doesn't fall for women, never have he and never will he...

********************
Francis grimace as he lift the block, this was the first time he was doing this kind of job,he wonder why his life turn out to be like that, with shaking hands, he carried the block as he walk to the other end...,
He look at Levi, his wasn't shaking as his was, he wonder what Levi must have been through, he remenbers what the king had said earlier that Ghazi tribe was destroyed by the Lord in the capital, the Lord in the capital must be evil,Levi must have been through alot as such a young age, sometimes he feels their fate were intertwined....
"Dont you get tired?Francis ask
"Not in this land, tiredness will get you killed here"Levi said
"So what, i just kill myself with work"
"Since you came here, haven't you learn anything? Levi ask
"You mean except carrying blocks"Francis replied jokingly
He waited for his reply but when he gave none, he continue..
"You are still angry at me, aren't you?
Levi inhale as he drop the block"If we keep talking we will never finish this work.. "
"Am sorry, i didn't mean to...
"I understand"Levi cut in
"You needed someone to be here with you, i would have probably done the same thing"
Francis felt relieved, at least he understands..
"So what or who is a prima? He ask curiously
"A prima is the head of labour"
Francis scoffs"Is there a head for that?
"There is a head for everything here"
"So he just comes and inspect the works?
"More like that"
Just then Francis saw a slave fell down, the block he was holding fell from his hand and broke as his gaze focus on the boy..
"What have you done? Levi ask
Not listening to him, Francis quickly rushed to the boys side..
"This boy will put us in trouble"Levi muttered as he took a deep breath.. He quickly drop the block carefully,then he ran after him..
Francis immediately hold the boy who was breathing heavily, other slaves begin to gather round them...
The boy gasp for breathe...
"He is dying, we need to get him to the hospital"Francis blared out..
"Hospital, we have healers not hospitals"Levi interjects
"Then let's take him to a healer"
"Are you crazy, healers dont tends to slaves"Levi said
"Slaves are also humans"
"They are not humans here, we are animals, when one gets sick, he is thrown out"Levi said
Just then the slaves that gathered round the boy began to run to their various place of work, Francis wonder why they were running, then he saw the boy that was standing beside the king, the boy he thought to be the kings son, he was walking towards them with a guard besides him...
"Francis, i think we should leave"Levi said
Francis stare at the boy on the floor, he was gasping and coughing heavily..
"I cant leave like this"Francis said
"Are you crazy, do you know who is coming our way"
"Whoever he is, i really dont care, this boy needs medical care"
"You are not a healer, just because you are a KA-RU doesn't make you one"
"Am not a KA-RU, am just Francis.... "
"I wont be in this madness with you"Levi said as he stood uo and started to walk away..
Francis felt pity for the boy as the boy grap his hand..
"Please dont leave me"The boy said with shaking mouth..
He cough again, this time blood came out from his mouth..
Fear grip him as he realise the boy and the guard was close to him.....
"You will be fine"Francis said to the boy on the floor
"What are you doing slave? The boy ask when he got to where Francis is
For a guard to follow him, Francis knew he must be a very important person if not the prince, he was wearing earrings on his right ears..
"He need help, he is dying"Francis said not knowing where he got the courage from, maybe because he is a prince himself..
the guard that followed the boy immediately stood the sick boy up,then he punch him on the face...
"Are you crazy"Francis blared impetuously..
He quickly realise what he just said...
"I i... "
Before he could finish his sentence, a punch landed on his face that sent him straight to the ground, his eyesight was blur, he try to stand up, just then he realise he was bleeding, he spit the blood from his mouth, then he stood up.....
Levi who was watching from a distance was confused on if he should go to his rescue or not....
"you are dead Francis"He muttered
"Do you know who i am?The boy with the guard ask
Francis didn't reply, he just stood glaring at him with rage in his eyes.....

KINGS
BOOK 1 EPISODE 23


He grabbed her hard from behind slamming them both against the bed. The moment he had touched her, he knew that she was his and he would not be letting her go. He pinned her between himself and the bed. She was trembling and he could smell her fear. He did not like her being afraid of him. He was meant to protect her. But he understood that until she accepted him as her master, her fear of him would help control her.
He began whispering soft words of assurance in her ear. Ever so softly he pulled her long flowing hair from her nape. Still murmuring softly he bent down and pulled the scent of her neck through his nostrils. With small soft strokes of his tongue he lapped gently at her neck. He started suckling on her tender skin leaving possessive red welts along her neck, collar bone, and fragile jaw.
Suddenly a blinding pain wracked his ribs as she struck him with her elbow. He doubled over as she whipped away from him. His arm jerked out and grabbed her arm. She tried to twist from him but fell. She landed on her back and immediately sprang into a sitting position. He snarled his displeasure at her attempts to escape him. He glared down at her angling his head he emitted a low and menacing rumble from deep in his chest. She started scooting backwards away from him like a crab, afraid to turn her back towards him.
As she moved he stared at her face for the first time. She was stunning. She had a heart shaped face with full red lips that were shaped for kissing and sucking a man's d**k . Yes, sucking his c**k. Her dark blue eyes that were almost too big for her face, were fringed with dark eyelashes. Her eyebrows were dark blond, several shades darker than her hair. Most of the soft waiving locks cascaded down her back while some spilled over her shoulder and curled around her breast. His gaze slid from her face to her breast. As though they had a mind of their own he could see them swell. They were small like her, but they would be enough for him to enjoy. The nipples hardened and he could see them through her dress. Dark red like berries, begging him to suckle them. He felt his c**k go rock hard and before he could stop it a low growl of rolled from him. This time in pleasure.
"My family will come for me." Samantha blared out... Her voice matched her appearance, soft and delicate. He had no doubt that her family would come for her. In all his travels over the years he had never scented one such as her. She must be very rare.
"Are you an idiot, your family gave you to me as a collateral until they pay me the huge money they owe me.. But guess they aren't going to pay.. You are my property now"Carlos replied as he chuckled
"Let them come. It will not matter." he added as He stepped towards her. The sooner she accepted that she was his, the better. He wondered if she already had a male somewhere. If she did, he would enjoy killing him.
Fierce possessiveness rolled through him. Something of his thoughts must have passed over his face because she gave a startled cry. She lunged from her back onto her knees and tried to spring into a run. He lunged forward and grabbed her ankle's. He pulled her legs back towards him. Dragging her face down onto the soft grass. Using his body to keep her down he slowly moved up over her back.
He shifted enough above her so he could rip her dress from her leaving only her sweet ass encased in lacy white panties. He began touching her and stroking her every inch from her heels up to the back of her neck and back down again. His tongue swirled tracing imaginary symbols along her velvet skin. She quivered and tried to move away from him and the sensations he was creating in her young body.
"Let me go and I will not tell." She tried to bargain with him when her struggles did not gain her release but seemed to excite him even more.
"Shh, I wish to taste you." She started to struggle harder causing him to bite into her soft slim thigh until she stilled. She had struggled longer than most would have and he had been forced to break her skin. The smell of her blood so close to her sex was sending him into a sexual frenzy. He did want not hurt her, but she must learn not to deny him.
He started speaking to her in a low melodic voice. Trying to calm her he moved slow and gentle. His body was screaming for him to take her hard and fast. But, his mind was warning him of how soft and delicate she was how easy he could hurt her young womb.
Her scent swirled around him reminding him of how rare she was. Her family must have treated her as the most special of all creatures. But, they had left her unprotected. Something he would never do. She would be his, he would never let her from his site. The only way she would be away from his site was if she had to take a piss. Hell, he didn't mind watching his woman piss, on second thought he could think of no reason for her to be away from his side.
He pushed her legs wide enough apart to allow his mouth to lick at the satin crotch of her small lace panties. A low growl of approval escaped him as he scented her innocence. He could feel her tremble as his tongue warmed her through her panties. Her small body tensed trying to override the pleasurable sensation.
Her breast began to swell and feel heavy. She could not seem to stop herself fro grinding her tender nipples into the dirt. She heard a noise that sounded like an animal in need. It stunned her to realize the sound was coming from her. She groaned with humiliation at the though that she had no control over her body.
His tongue began to lap at her growing wetness through her panties. One hand held tightly to her slim thigh while the fingers of his other hand began to press rhythmically into her tight pu**y. She could feel her blood pulse in between her legs. With every heartbeat his fingers would push her panties slightly into her warm wet pu**y.
He removed his fingers from her dripping panties and she let out a low keeling noise. His fingers started tracing the edge of her panties. She could not stop herself from lifting her bottom in the air to give him better access. She could not help but submit to the pleasures that he was forcing on her. Laying on her stomach thrusting her ass in the air she trembled with anticipation.
Her scent of arousal and submissive movements through him into a frenzy and he grabbed her hips jerking them back higher into the air. His canines lengthened and he buried his face in her ass and chewed through her panties to get to her tiny puckered hole. Suckling and nipping at her tiny rose bud he began to thrust his tongue deep inside her sweet little pucker while hand moved to stroke her pu**y. His thumb dipped into her tight little channel while his fingers surrounded her little pleasure bud pressing them in matching rhythm to his tongue.
She could not believe what he was doing. No one in her young life had ever touched her this way. Tears of pleasure and embarrassment streaked her face as she could not stop herself from enjoy his fingers on her clit and his tongue in her bottom. She felt him shift slightly. Fearing that he meant to stop she grabbed both her ass cheeks and stretched them as far apart as she could and pressed her ass back against his mouth. She heard him chuckle his delight at her movements and could not help but contain the sudden blush at how happy this made her.
Her thighs began to tremble and a knot began to form low in her belly and her lower back. She wasn't expecting the sudden surge of complete pleasure but suddenly her hands flew from her body and grabbed the bedsheet as she screamed and writhed on his tongue Gasping and shuddering.
"We are not done yet little one." His voice seemed to come from his chest and she couldn't help but press her back against his chest while she purred.
Gently yet forcibly he rolled her onto her back. His claws extended and he tore away the remaining shreds of her lace panties. Positioning himself between her thighs, he knelt there and stared at her naked beauty.
Her body was still limp with her previous orgasm, she offered no resistance as he positioned her as he wanted her.
Slipping his left arm under her butt cheeks he lifted her up where only her shoulders and head rested on the grass. He ran his right hand between her breast, up stroking her neck and collarbone, and then down again pressing hard as he traveled past her ribs onto her stomach. He pressed harder just under her belly-button and she felt her womb jump. Her body already recognizing its master. He smiled as he stoked her and let loose a shear growl of pleasure when he felt her tiny womb jump at his touch.
He slowly lowered her down on the ground and low between her thighs. Using his large hands he splayed her thighs wide while stretching her pussy lips tightly almost painfully apart. Her delicate little clit stood unprotect and bare to his visual examination.
"Don't." She tried to cover herself but a warning growl from him scarred her enough to lay back and be still for him. He bent his head down low and blew across her little clit watching her body jump at the sudden sensation.
At first she felt him touch her exposed clit only with his lips. It was so soft and subtle she sighed. He began to pull her clit into his warm wet mouth with long drawn suckling motions. His wet tongue began to dip into her little cunny and swirl her growing juices out and suck them off her little pleasure button. Her head began to thrash and her skin felt like it was on fire. His fingers released her pu**y lips and began to stroke her. He raised up licking her scent off his mouth as he watched her through heavy lids.
She moaned and moved as his fingers pressed and stroked her. She couldn't believe what was happening. She tried to get control of herself and close her legs. A shout of anger erupted from him and his fingers became painful.
"I told you, do not deny what is mine." She struggled to understand his words as his fingers pressed hard into her forcing both pain and pleasure upon her young body. Suddenly without mercy, he pressed hard into her clit. The pressure caused and instant orgasm to roll through her. Unlike the one before though, this one was painful and caused her whole body to clench. She looked up at him with tears in her eyes, innocent and confused.
"I will have what is mine." He pushed his c**k just barely into the small opening of her virgin opening.
"You can take it with pain, or with pleasure, but either way you will take it." With these words he shoved his huge c**k deep into her virgin cunt. She screamed and bucked at the pain.
He shouted his uncontrollable joy when he ripped through her maidenhead. The realization that no one had ever had her before or would ever have her but him caused his c**k to grow and jump in her tight cunny.
"Tell me, who owns you?" He fisted her hair as he jerked back into her. She felt her pussy lips dimple back into her dry pussy as he forced his c**k back into her abused little cunny. She began to cry and whimper as he slammed into her cervix. He jerked her hair again and pulled from her only to ram back into her again.
"Tell me, who owns you?" He snarled again.
"You...you do." She gasped as she pushed at his hips trying to ease some of her pain.
Just as suddenly as he had taken her with force he began moving on her with gentleness. He slowed his thrusts and began stroking her clit with his fingers. He bent his head down and began suckling her nipples.
A shudder raced up her back as he began to arouse her. She felt the wetness grow between her legs with every thrust. Where his c**k had felt too big and had hurt before, now she began to arch up towards his thrust, craving the full feeling. His warm mouth sucked and nipped at her breast. He licked his way up to her throat.
She wrapped her arms around him trying to hold him to her as she felt her pleasure grow. He started rocking her back and forth with each thrust. Her breathing became labored and black dots swam around her head. Through a pleasure filled haze she lifted her head to see where the two of them were joined. The sight of his c**k sinking into her warm inviting pussy was the most erotic sight she had ever witnessed.
Unable to control the beast in himself anymore he bit into her neck holding her beneath him so his body could fill her with his life giving seed. She felt his teeth sink into her neck but instead of pain she could feel only pleasure. Her body began to prepare itself for the best orgasm of its young life as she began to beg him to finish her off.
She felt him release her neck as he threw his head back and roared up to the sky. Her body exploded as her pu**y clamped down on his c**k milking him as his hot seed bathed her womb.
Slowly their breathing began to turn back to normal.
The realization of what just occurred hit her and she began to weep. Slowly their breathing began to turn back to normal. The realization of what just occurred hit her and she began to weep.
"I will be good to you if keep making enjoy myself like this"
"You are no good to anyone but yourself"She blared out
"I own you, and dont think you can escape from me"He said, peg her on the cheek,pick up his things and left her
She wept bitterly as she curse her parents for ruining her life.....

EPISODE 10
THE STORY CONTINUES

The students watched as luke's body was rushed to the emergency room. The Ambulance sped away In a full speed.
"Are you sure he is gonna make it? Noah asked Leonard.
" I doubt it". Leonard said.
"But what could have happened to him? Noah asked curiously.
"He must have hit his head hard on the wall". Leonard said.
Or someone most have done it". Noah interjects.
"What do you mean by that? Leonard asked curiously.
"I don't know, I just had this feeling someone must have his head against that wall.
Why do you think so? Leonard asked.
The day we met he told me something about some people, he said they were going to punish him for his mistakes for the end of his school lives.
"That doesn't make any sense what people was he talking about?
"I don't know, it didn't make any sense to me either, he even said something about the school been a jungle.
"Jungle! Leonard exclaimed. The school doesn't seem like a jungle ". He added.
"He must have gotten into a fight with some people, some really bad people ". Noah muttered.


*********** ***********
" WHAT do you mean by you thought he was dead". Nataniel yelled out.
"I thought he was dead, I was scared that is why I ran off. Riddick replied with a trembling voice.
"Why did you hit his head against that wall anyway ". Frederick asked as he adjusted himself in the seat.
"You know what he did to me, my girlfriend left because of him, I hate him ". Riddick said furiously.
"Nat", we need to tell the club, the club needs to help me, if that boy wakes up and tell the truth my school days are over.
We are not involving the club in these, we will handle it ourselves. Nataniel blarred out.
"So what are we going to do without the club? Spencer said.
"He is dead" Nataniel said furiously.
A threat to one is a threat to all" he added.


************* ***********
NOAH watched as the lab room was locked by the school security.
"Noah, it seems there will be no quiet place to study ". Leonard blarred out.
"This isn't fair". Noah said in a low tone.
"What isn't fair, locking the lab forever?
"What happened to luke wasn't fair, he was gentle, the way I saw him that day he didn't like one that could hurt a fly to make someone put a big hole in his head like that.
You speak as if you know him very well.
I may not know him too well but I know he wouldn't harm anyone, I pray he lives so he could say who had tried to kill him.


*********** **********
Mrs Lemuel took up the TV remote from the table and changed the TV channel, she watched the screen as she saw a mother holding her twin babies.
She gave way to tears immediately, she wondered where her daughter was, it's been sixteen years since they gave her away, she wanted to find her daughter alive or dead, she needed to see her, see how she has grown, how she has been all these years. All their effort to find her all end up fruitless, she was inclined to find the woman in charge of the orphanage that handle her baby, but all effort to find her lead them no where, she wasn't ready to give up, she will find her and she will in turn tell her where her daughter is, who might have adopted her daughter.
Leonard doesn't know he had a twin sister, they weren't sure how to tell him that he had a twin sister but she was taken to the orphanage because they couldn't cater for her.
More uncontrollable tears dripped from her eyes she wanted to see her daughter even if it's the last thing she does.


********** **********
What is his situation? The school principal, Mrs Catherine asked as the school doctor enter her office.
His situation is critica, i doubt if he will survives if he stays here, we need to transfer him to a proper hospital.
How could this have happened". Mrs Catherine sobered. Is there any idea to what happened? She asked.
It doesn't seems like he did it himself, someone must have pushed him hard against the wall, I fear he may have a concussion that will lead to excessive brain damage.
Alright call the Ambulance, move him to proper hospital, I will inform his parents. "Mrs Catherine said.
This issue should be investigated thoroughly, whoever that crazy student is, he should be caught for carrying out such an inhuman act.
That is the more reason we need that boy to survive to tell us who did it..... He must survive for our sake and the school.


************ **********
Wherever Noah goes, the talk about luke was there, the talk was everywhere.
He sigh as he collected two cream soda from the canteen woman, he move to where Leonard is and offered him one.
"Thank you". Leonard said as he collected it.
Noah sat in a chair opposite him.
"Who are you suspecting? Leonard asked.
'No-one' Noah replied.
"I know you are, you've been acting weird and you only does that when something is moving in that big head of yours "Leonard said jokingly.
"So tell me, who is it". He added.
Noah looked around, everyone was busy saying their own opinion about the issue.
"i think is nataniel". Noah said in a low tone.
Leonard giggled "stop, Nat might be a bully he is not capable of doing such a hideous thing.
"what if it is him ".
It can't be him, he has never done anything like that since I arrived in this school.
Noah whisper at Leonard as he saw Nathaniel and his friends passing, then he saw him the guy that he had hit mistakenly, the guy was in a haste, he is walking with him.
"I know that guy". Noah muttered.
"What guy? Leonard asked looking back.
"The one at the back with blue canvas ". Noah describe.
Oh! That is Riddick, Leonard said.
"Is he your suspect too". Leonard added.
Noah chuckled at his comment "Nop, he is not ". Just that I met him earlier today, we mistakenly hit, he was really in a haste.
"You've met so many people lately, tell me, who else have you met.
They frown as they heard Nathaniel's voice, he was pursuring some group of guys from their seats, the guys stood up and left. Nathaniel and his friends laugh hysterically as they sat on the chair.
"I detest him". Noah blarred out.
"Everyone does ".Leonard said as he sip his cream soda.
"I wonder why they fear him so much ". Noah said curious to know the reason people were afraid of him.
"He is said to belong to this alleged club called blood club, they said he holds a position in the club, but it's just nonsense, such club doesn't exist anywhere it's just a belief people wanted to be true, it's just a story to scare people off him.
"What if the club does exist? Noah asked curiously.
Leonard chuckled, he sipped his cream soda again, if such club exist the school would have found out and eradicate it.

"I have seen the way you look at me"He said moving closer to her, he roan his hand around her collar bone..
She shivered and moan at the soft touch of his fingers..
He immediately pushed her on the bed, then he locked the door...
"Your highness "She said shabbily..
"Dont worry, i will be gentle"he said pulling off his clothes until he strip down to just his singlet and white shorts..
He lean down to her,he lifted her face to him and he kissed her...
His lips felt good in her mouth, this was what she wanted, she kissed him back immediately..
They roved their tongues in each others mouth, she felt the growing bulge in his shorts, she smile at him as she began to attentively open his fly, she pulled his boxers down and his raging d**k was ready, he was huge, more huge then the men she has ever been with..
He took his shirt off and she admired his chest and abs,then he let her take his d**k in her hand..
She look at his d**k for a few seconds studying it, she stroke it a few times gingerly and brought her face up close...
He smile at her as she look up at him and smile, her eyes shinning bright...
Slowly she closed the distance until the head of his d**k rested on her lips, she kept her lips closed and move Her mouth side to side...
He moan as she rub his d**k on her lips like it was a large obscene lipstick..
She pulled back to look at his raging boner again, she thought of how he could still be hard.. So hard
She stroked it a few more letting him moan at each strokes she gives him, then she gave the very tip a gentle kiss which sent a raging sensation all over his body...
He could see the trace of her lipstick on the tip of his d**k and he was in agonizing heaven...
She struck her tongue out and lick the underside, she kiss the head a few more times before finally opening her mouth and taking in the head...
He moan in utmost pleasure as he ran his fingers through her hair..
She gag when she took more of him in her mouth and siliva flowed from her mouth..
She backed off and stroke his shaft a few times as she recover her breathe,she suck him back in past her lips and began to bob up and down as much as she could, after 20 to 30 seconds of bobbing, she pushed down a little further and hold herself there for several seconds..
He moan as she went down harder and further, when she was just half way down he felt his d**k touch the back of her throat and she came up coughing..
He felt his orgasm building up inside him, he figured out it would be rude to just blast a load in her mouth but wbo cares, he was the king...
A fierce sensation through him as she take him back into her mouth, her head bobbed up and down his shaft, she was holding on to his waist using just her lips and tongue on his engorged d**k..
A ring of her lipstick formed around his d**k at the point she couldn't go past and the vision was too much to bear...
His balls flexed and his orgasm struck hard, he tried to hold it but the sensation was too much, he moan loudly as his body began to react to the movement of his orgasm fighting hard to be released....
He continued moaning then finally he released the big load in her mouth...
The first blast was a direct hit to the back of her throat and was never to be seen again as she gulp down everything...
She pulled back instinctively and the second blast splattered all over her lips and chin....
"Where did you learn how to do that? He ask as he gasp for breathe...
She smiled"Its nothing your highness
He put his clothes back on, as she hurriedly rushed into the bathroom to wash her face, she dried her face with his towel,then she came out..
"Whatever happened here should be buried here, this never happened, understand?he said

Throughout the journey all Pious keeps thinking about was how to get revenge, he didn't even give his father a proper burial,he will justice to those men who had destroyed his life even if its the last he does,he will do it with the last drop of his blood...
"We are here"Zuru said as the gateman open the gate..
He park in a corner, then they came down from the car...
Pious look round the house, the last time he came here, the house was not as beautiful as this, the house was a mansion...
"Welcome home Pious"Zuru said
Pious shrugs, "Nice house you got here uncle"
"Evidence of hard work"Zuru replied as they went inside the house ...

Elder Utero sniff at the aroma of the food,he smile at his wife as he opened the food, his wife Anita pour water from a jug into the cup for her husband....
He ate one spoonful of the food....
"Delicious"He said
Anita laughs then she sat opposite him
"My husband, i dont think fighting with the king is a good thing oo"
"Am not fighting with anybody, am simply telling the right thing, since Iroko has betrayed all of us, its left for us the elders to do the right thing"
"My husband,everyone in this town knows who chief Carlos is, he is not someone to mess around with"
"Carlos is messing around with our tradition.."Elder Utero said
"Because he has money doesn't give him the right to trample on the tradition that has been existing since the age of our forefathers "he added
"My husband, i still advice you drop this fight"
"I am not afraid of Carlos, he can have his money but i have my pride"He said and drink water
"Am afraid oo"Anita said, just then their son John entered the house

John owns a boutique, though a small boutique but there was competition and others with the same business trade with him seems to be more successful than him..sometimes he wishes his business grew bigger than it already is but there was no money to do that..
"Father you cant believe it, i havent sold one thing for the past one week"John lamented
"My son is okay, your day is coming, just be patience, oneday God will establish you"Elder Utero said
"John as long as we can eat, we are not complaining ...."Anita said
John lean his back on the chair as he thought about his life...

*********************
Desmond was filled with rage as he sits on a chair in the garden, how dare those elders insult him, he will deal with them, he will teach them a lesson they will never forget...
Cleopatra enters with a glass of drink, she thought she could have another chance of becoming close to the king since the previous prince has shown no interest in her, this one might, she wonder what could have happen to the previous prince, could Raphael be right, could they have killed them...
She put the thoughts away as she approach him, she drop the glass on the table and look at the king seductively...
"Anything else i can do for you my king? She ask with a smile on her face...
Desmond didn't reply but signalled her with his hand to leave, there was more in his head than having conversations with maids...
Cleopatra nodded, she turn to walk away, she stood for a while, she look at him but he wasn't looking at her, it was more like something was bothering him, she was inclined to ask but the expression on his face tells her not to dare...
She look at him, then she turn and walk away.....

********************
"My baby"Raphael said from behind her
"Haven't i warned you never to touch me again"Cleopatra blared out..
"Baby, i have told you to stop saying this kind of things, look i really love you very much"Raphael said
Cleopatra laughs"Just look at me very well"She said turning around"Do i look like someone who is still in your class"
Raphael wonder what she meant by that, because from the way he sees it, she is still a maid which makes her his class...
"My love, we shouldn't be talking about class,we....
"Heyyy, hold it there"Cleopatra interjects
"This should be the last time you will ever show your ugly black face in front of me"She added furiously, she hissed and walk away..
Raphael just stood looking at her, he sniff, he love her, and it hurts him he still does, maybe she is right, there is ni future for them..
"I really pity you"Rahael said from behind him
Raphael turn around to face her, he hissed when he saw her...
"You keep approaching her and she keeps turning you down, and to crown it all, she insults you, dont you ever get tired"Rachael said
Raphael fold his hand"And what business of yours is that?
"Is not my concern oo, am just advising you to have some sense"
"I will not take insults from you"Raphael said
"Is not an insult, leave her alone, dont make her to keep insulting you"
"If she insult me, did she insult you... That is how you people will be pokenosing in what that isnt your concern, gossipers"Raphael said and left her
"Look at this one that am trying to help"Rahael said after him..
She chuckled and walk away..

*******************
Francis was tired, he felt relieved when Azog ordered them to rest, he wonder where they were going, they were in the middle of no where, him,the boy and one other boy sat under a tree, even if he wanted to escape, there was no way of escape until he is release from this chains....
"What is your name? Francis ask as he realised he has been talking with him all the way without even knowing his name..
"Am Leviticus but you can call me Levi, most people prefer to call me that"The boy said
Francis nodded"So what do you think they will do with us? Francis ask anxiously
"What they do with slaves"Levi said
"I pray he doesn't sell me to the lord"The boy sitting with them said
Francis was surprised, what Lord where they talkong,is it the Almighty Lord that the missionaries preach about..
"What Lord is that? Francis ask curiously
"Lord Kubali, he is the king in the capital, but he prefers been called Lord"Levi said
"I hears he uses boys as sacrifice to Ogini to grant him long life"The boy sitting with them said
Fear began to engulf Francis, all his life he hasn't seen or heard about where humans are used for sacrifice, where exactly is he.....

*********************
Pious grunts as he stared at the book in front of him, rage filled his eyes, the thought of his father, mother and brother been dead filled his head, he tried to wave the thought but it keeps persisting and so was the rage, the anger, the hunger for revenge.....
Shock swept through him as Zuru entered the room without knocking...
Zuru drew closer and look at the book in front of him..
"I see you know your enemies by their names"Zuru said
Pious look at the book, he has written the names of the chiefs on it...
"They will go down one by one"Pious said
Zuru tap him on the shoulders "I promise you,i will fight with you to the end,but you need your rest now, you have a journey ahead of you"
"Must i embark on this journey?Pious ask
"You need the skills, you need to be the business tycoon the whole of Akpatu will bow for, you need to invest the money, you need to go to the white man land"
"But uncle, before i become a successful business tycoon, it will take time,and time is a virtue i dont have"
"Time is everything, if you want our plans to work, besides it wont take more than a year, you already have the skills, you just need to enhance them"
Pious thought of what his uncle has said, he knew his uncle was right, for him to win, he needs to do exactly as his father has said....

*********************
Anita sang songs of praise as she sweep the house,just then three broad chested men with guns pushed the door open...
Fear run through her spines..
"Where is your husband?One of them said
"My husband is not here"Anita said with shaking mouth..
One immediately entered their room, there he saw Elder Utero sleeping on the bed, they quickly stood him up, it took some seconds before elder Utero realised what was going on, he tried go release himself from his grip but his grip was firm on him..
"Leave my husband alone.."Anita shouted
She hold their hand, one grew annoyed and hit her head hard with one end of the gun..
Anita immediately fell on the floor and went unconscious...
"Anita"Elder Utero shouted...but his shout couldn't be hear by anyone as he was immediately carried into the backseat of the car and they zoomed off speedily......

********************
Few minutes later they arrived in an uncompleted building, Elder Utero wondered who they were and why they have brought him there, they pushed him into the building, then into a room..
Shock swept through him as he saw the other two elders there.. Elder Abulo and Elder Ojoba tied together....
"How can you treat elders like this, dont you have no respect for your Fathers"Elder Utero yelled
The thugs didn't reply, instead they pushed him on the floor....
Elder Utero was furious, he immediately stood up..
One of the thug immediately point a gun to his head...
"I will blow your head off if you dont sit down now"The thug said in a deep voice..
Just then Chief Carlos entered...
"I knew it was you, you are the only one who will stoop so low go do this"Elder Utero said
Carlos chulkled "You are bold"
"And you should know bold men fear nothing"Elder Utero said
"I heard you three are planning to dethrone my son"Carlos said
"Your son is not our king, we have a king,his name is king Pious"Elder Utero said
Carlos chulkled"Where is your Pious now?
"He is not dead until his body is found"elder Utero said
"So you prefer the throne stays vacant until he comes back"Carlos said
"Even if he doesn't return, we will never acknowledge your son as our king"Elder Utero said...
Elder stare at the other two elders who immediately look away, he wonder why they were afraid...
"Elders, we should stand for what we believe in, dong fear because he feeds on our fear, you fear him today, you will fear him forever"Elder Utero said
"Do you know what am capable of doing? Carlos said
"Other than killing me, you can do nothing"Elder Utero retorted
Carlos snap his fingers..
Elder Utero heartbeat increases as he two guys dragging his son in...
"Father"John said
"Do you swear to bow and support my son? Carlos ask..
Elder Utero glare at him, anger flush through his eyes, the other two elders were already shaking, if Carlos have Utero son, he could probably have theirs as well...
"Over my dead body"Elder Utero blared out..
"Cut off his son's hand"Carlos ordered

"Crowning a king at the auspicious time has always be out way, right from the time of our forefathers"Iroko said
"Iroko, we are not children that you can easily deceive, we know that act has been abolished a long time ago, why use it now? Elder Ojoba said
"You dare question the gods"Iroko blared out
"We question you, not the gods"Elder Utero retorted

"So you consider yourself a god"Elder Abulo said
Iroko groan and looked away
"We have a tradition and we intend to follow it, as long as the crown prince hasn't been proven dead, we cant have a new king"Elder Ojoba said
"So whatever deal you must have had with those chiefs, you better start going back to make things right"Elders Utero added

"Its worth trying"Kahefa said
Zuru sigh"If we tell the police, we would be putting the prince at risk, this case is beyond the police"
"So what, are you just going to take matters into your own hands"Kahefa said
"My brother is the one who was brutally murdered by those men,you tell the police, they get arrested today, tomorrow they are released and everything will start over again, that isn't justice"Zuru blared out
Kahefa exhales, then she shrugged, she knew her husband was right, but what she fears is the outcome of their revenge..
"Come on lets go"Zuru said as he zip up his bag, Kahefa did same and they left the room.....
They went outside, thanked the guard who has helped them, they entered their car and zoom off...
Desmond stared from a window upstairs, his gaze follow the car until it was out of sight, he fears Zuru might turn out to be a thorn in his flesh in the future, he has told his father that Zuru shouldn't be alive, they should have killed him as they had killed his brother and nephews but his father had said Zuru would be a problem but if he turns out to be one, he will make sure he goes six feet beneath before he will dream of getting the upper hand...
"Clear all thorns from the way, that way you will succeed"He muttered

Shock ripped her spines"Your highness, any woman will jump at your offer, but i look forward to marry a man of age range"
Felix chulkled"You think am too old for you?
"Far be it from me to say that your highness"
"Then accept my proposal, i will your life a happy one, you wont have to worry over anything, i will provide anything you ask for.. "
Rachel swallow hard, this old man has no shame, how could stoop so low to woo a common maid like her, what does he think she is, a common maid who will jump at any man because he has money, she has dreams, and she doesn't intend to trample on them...
"Am sorry your highness, but i have to decline your request"She said
"Oh, am not in a hurry, go and think about it....

"I dont intend, i have done it, your marriage has been finalized and it happens in a week time"Felix said
Claude gritted her teeth"Are you that selfish, first it was Pious, now you are getting me married to the king, what is even wrong with you"
"We will discuss this no further"Felix retorted
Claude was infuriated"What do you think i am, some thrash that you can just throw off anytime you wishes, over my dead body will i get married to any king"She blared out
Felix quickly rose up and slapped her hard on her right cheek.. "I am your father, your king, your owner, you will do as i say"He said with rage in his eyes
Claude grimaced as she touch the spot she was slapped, she glared at him.... With anger flushing through her eyes...
"I will not be intimidated into doing anything by you or anyone else"She retorted, eyed him and walked away...
Felix groan.......

"That is correct"Carlos said
"Since we are friends, why dont we extend our friendship to be a family"Mayo said
Carlos chulkled "Now i understand where yoej are going to,of course, my son will like your daughter very much, i heard she is the type that can arouse any man just with her the way she moves her hips"

"Your reputation was already at stake when you collected money from me"Carlos said
"Is that all you have to say"
"Iroko, go home, i will handle this issue"
"Am not the only one whi is threatened, they seek to remove your son from the throne"Iroko blared out

"Your highness, the elders are here to see you"The guard said
Desmond dismissed the guard, he wonder why the elders have come, he look at himself one last time and walk out of the room...
It was seconds later when he arrived at the inner chamber, there he saw the elders standing glaring at him, not minding the expression on their faces, he sat on the throne and reclined his back....
He motioned for them to sit down.... But their looks said they weren't ready to sit...
"We didn't come here to sit, we have come to warn you"Elder Utero said...
"How dare you utter such word from your mouth, have you no respect for your king"Desmond yelled
"You have three days to leave this palace or we will summon the youths and kick you out ourselves... "Elder Ojoba said furiously
"Leave this palace or you will face the wrath of the gods"Elder Abulo added
"The only wrath that will fall is my wrath if you dont leave this place now"
"Whatever plans you and your father had with Iroko, it ends today, we wont warn you again"Elder Utero said....
They glare at him, then they left...

THE STORY CONTINUES

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD..... the word keep ringing in Francis head, so this was the other side of the world from the stories ,a world no one thought existed, was he really here, its still like a dream to him, he look around, it was a total different world from his, the clothes the men on the horse were wearing was a total different from thiers.... He has always wish to be here.. ,he finally got his wish.... Be careful what you wish for..
"Who are this men? he ask the boy
"That is Azog, the slave hunter, the rest are his men"
"Slave hunter"Francis muttered ,so slaves hunting still exist here, the stories were true, there is no civilization here...
"Move faster KA-RU"A voice said from behind him
Francis wink at him..
"So are we his slaves? Francis ask
The boy scoff"Why do you think you are in chains?
Francis grunts as he look at his hands, those chiefs did this to him, he have to get out from here, he has to escape, he has to go back and avenge his fathers, mother's and brother's dead....
"How do i get back to the other side of the river?Francis ask anxiously
The boy chulkled "Many have tried to leave, but they didnt live to tell the tale, there is no escape from here.. "
"I survive the river once, isn't that why am name KA-RU"
"You were named KA-RU because your interest overlap with Ogini"
"You mean the river god? Francis ask
"What interest is that? Francis added
"Ogini is a dark god, he must have seen the same darkness in you, that is the reason you survived in that water"The boy said
"That is absurd, there is no darkness in me"
"You keep telling yourself that"
Could his passion for revenge be the darkness.....

**********************
"Oh my God, you are alive"Kahefa said as they enter the hut..
"What happened?Zuru ask
"Those chiefs killed my father? Pious said as he try to stand up from the mat.. Zuru help him up..
"I thought as much, what about the queen and your brother?
Pious sniff,the thought of his brother and mother dying really hurts him.. "They are probably dead"he said as tears began to drip from his eyes..
"Am so sorry"Kahefa said hugging him
"Those men need to pay for what they did uncle"
"Yes they will pay"
"They will pay for every blood my father bleed, every tear my mother brother and i shed, every pain we went through, they will all pay for that"Pious said with rage in his eyes...
Zuru nodded
"My prince, what will you do now, you cant go back to the palace"Mr Azuk said
"He is not going back to the palace"Zuru interjects
"Those men must have all my father's assets"Pious said
"Not all"Zuru said,he scoffs, then continue"Your father knew something like this was going to happen someday, so he had some private companies in my name, just him and i know about it... "
"So what are your plans now, you can't go back to the palace, you cant stay in the village either"Kahefa said
"I cant leave without avenging my family's dead, those men need to pay, i will fight them with last drop of my blood"Pious said
Zuru sigh"You cant act irrationally now, the only way you can fight those chiefs is using their greatest weapon against them.. "
"Which is? Kahefa ask curiously
"Money and power"Zuru replied
"To defeat them, you have to act like them"Zuru added
"How would that be possible, they will know is me"Pious said
"No they wont, because they think you are dead, You have to become a new man with a different identity, with money and power, we will bring them to justice"

********************
Inspector Kess sigh as he push the files aside, he shrugged, and reclined his back on the chair....
"What a case...! Phillip muttered
"This isn't a case, its a dead end"Kess said
Philip drew nearer and sat beside him"Do you have any suspects in mind? Phillip ask
Kess exhales, the only suspect he have in mind is the chief, he must have killed the late king for the throne, but he cant prove it, until there is evidence, there is no case..
"No"He replied
"Do you? he added
"No"
"We have practically interrogate all the guards and maids, they all said the same thing, they were all at that festival... "Kess said
"What sort of festival is that, anyone in his correct senses will know this was coming, how can they leave a king unguarded, doesn't sound like a good tradition to me"Philip said
"Whoever did this, waited for the best opportunity to strike...."
"And he succeeded"Philip interjects
"Do you think they are still alive? Kess ask
"Who.. The princes and the queen?
Kess nodded
"No one have heard or see them,its more like they practically disappeared off the surface of the earth "
"Do you think the same killer did it? Kess ask
"Thats the only logical explanation for it"
"if they are alive, we need to find them"
"Finding them is no problem, the question is, where do we start from?

*********************
King Felix took a deep breath, he fears his plans will be jeopardize if he doesn't do anything, with his daughter as a queen of Akpatu kingdom, it will form a big alliance between Akpatu and his kingdom, people are envious of Akpatu because its one of the most richest and prestigious community, having an alliance with them is the dream of every minor kingdom, rulling them is his dreams..
"King Felix, So what happens now that the king is dead and his children and wife are nowhere to be found?Chieg Carlos ask
"Am shock by the sudden departure of the king, but that doesnt necessarily mean the alliance can't be formed, the marriage can still happen"Felix said
"You mean you want your daughter to marry my son, the king"
"As king, it will be a great shame if i go back without be able to accomplish what i came for, you of all people should understand that"
Carlos chulkled"The decision lies in my son's hand, he is now a king"
They watch as Desmond enter the inner chamber, he was dressed in royal attire, Carlos smile as he saw his son...
"Your majesty"He said as Desmond sit on the throne
"King Felix, Our honoured guest, i hope you are enjoying your stay under my rule"Desmond said
"Your rule will leave a great mark that will shape history"Felix said
They all chulkled
"Your majesty, King Felix here was suggesting something right before you came in"Carlos said
"You know you are now a king and as a king, you will need a wife by your side"Carlos added
Desmond chulkled"My father, always knowing the best of things"
"You know the princess was bethroded to the lost prince, but since he isn't here to take his responsibilities, we think you should fit in that position"
"You want me to marry the princess"Desmond said
"That kind of alliance will be good for your people"Carlos said
Desmond smile"Then so be it"
Desmond thought about, he remenbers the first time he saw her, he couldn't take his eyes off her, he wonder how her body will feel in his hands, his hands grabbing those soft ass of her,his fingertips caressing her....
"Then i suggest we start planning"Felix said

*********************
CLAUDE took a deep breath as she arrived at the place, she just wonder what her father was still doing in the palace, if she had her way she would have escaped, but she cant leave Rick..slowly she came down from the car, she had took her father's keys when he wasn't there, she needed to see him, to see how he was faring, she walk into the building, then gently opened the door.. The place wasn't a house at all, it was more like a place were prisoners were kept...
"Princess"Gavi said when he saw her...
"Claude sniff at the odour of the cigarettes they were smoking ....
"Where is him?Claude blared out
"You are not suppose to be here"Gavi said
"I want to see him"She said
"Your father wouldn't approve of this"Gavi said
"My father doesn't have to know"
"By that, i presume your father doesn't know you are here"Gavi said
Claude grunts"Can i just see him"
"Please"She said shabbily
"If he tries to run, i will shoot him"Gavi said
"Fine"
Gavi led het to the room, then he opened the door, shock engulf her when she saw him sitting on one edge of the room looking tatared...
"Rick"She said and ran to his side..
"Princess"Rick muttered faintly
"What have you done to him "Claude yelled
"He tried to act smart, so we taught him what we do to smart boys, since he hasn't been eating"Gavi said
"Baby look at me, am here for you"Claude said
Rick cough"Get me out of here"
"The next time he tries to run, he will be a corpse"Gavi said
Claude glared at him as the words dripped from his mouth...

************************
The elders murmur as they enter Elder Ajugo's house, elder Ajugo was the oldest elder in the land, he often dont come go meetings because of his old age...
"This cant be possible"One of the elders said
"Our kingdom is doomed"Elder Utero said
"Elders I have heard about what happened"Elder Ajugo said
"I was even disappointed in the chief priest, how can him allow a new king to be crown when the community is in chaos, this cant be accepted "Elder Abulo said
"A new king cant be crown now"Elder Ajugo said
"Iroko said, that was the auspicious time"Elder Ojoba said
"What! The practice of crowning a king at the auspicious time has long be abolished, Iroko couldn't have use that"Elder Ajugo said
"What do you mean"Elder Utero said
"Before King Azubike died, Him and i and few elders who are no longer alive has gone to the shrine, there Iroko father told that the practice of crowning a king at the auspicious time was no longer accepted by the gods since it will result to chaos in the future... "Elder Ajugo said
"Are you saying Iroko knew this and he lied"Elder Utero said
"Iroko is the eye of the gods his father must have told him that"Elder Ajugo said
"This is unbelievable"Elder Ojoba said
"As long as the late king son is alive, another person cant be crown king"Elder Ajugo said
"Our ignorance have cause us this"Elder Utero said
"We dont even know where the princes are, they might be dead"Elder Ojoba said
"Until it is proven they are dead, we cant have a false king on the throne, we need to remove him from that throne"Elder Utero said..
The rest concurred

***********************
Iroko chulked as he collects the money
"You will get more of this if you keep supporting us"Carlos said
"Chief Chief, be rest assured you have my support anytime, the elders are ignorant, they will never find out what i did.. "
"Even if they find out, what can they do, my son is the king, his judgement can be questioned.. "
"You are right, i hope to do more business with you in the future"Iroko said
He shook hands with him and he left..
"Fool"Carlos muttered
He look around his house, he has been so busy at the palace,he wanted to see the prisoner in his house before this fool showed up to collect his balance..
He ask his guard if the prisoner was doing and he said yes, he gigled then begin to go to the room, slowly he open the door, he gave her a taunting smile.....
"Enjoying the chains?Carlos ask
"She glare at him, she try to move her hands but her both hands were chained to the wall.. "
"Carlos drew nearer to her, then he began to touch her face with his fingertips..
"Am going to enjoy every part of your body"Carlos said
She spit on his face"You will die before you lay hands on me... "Queen Edna retorted
Carlos shift aback and wipe the spit from his face.. "What did you think, that i killed your husband and two children just for the throne"He chulkled"I did it also so i can have you all for myself, your beauty have always attracted me, the kind of effect you have had on me, i have never felt it in any other woman"
He lick his lip as he stare lustfully at her leg... "Am going to so so enjoy you Edna"
"Your days are numbered, Carlos"Edna said
"Who is going to kill me, Is it your dead husband or children?
"Dont think for one second you will escape judgement,you will suffer, and die a miserable death... "Edna yelled
Carlos laugh hysterically "You are funny, i am a tiger, am untouchable, whoever that dares touch me ends up in the grave"
"Your judgement is coming, your destruction is inevitable, i will sit and watch as your skin are shred off limb by limb"Edna retorted..
"Enjoy your freedom while it lasts, my queen"He said, smile at her and left her...
"I will kill you Carlos, this is a promise"She muttered

STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT EPISODE

KINGS
BOOK 1EPISODE 16
THE STORY CONTINUES

FEW HOURS EARLIER

HER feet were shaking as she watch from a distance, fear prick her spines as she see them stabbing him without mercy,she was scared, too scared that she decided not to watch again, she quickly rushed outside, running from sight, if they see her, they might kill her too...
Her heartbeat increases, her breathe was heavy..
"They killed him, they killed the king... "Princess Claude muttered with shaking mouth...

**********************
PRESENT TIME

"OH MY GOD! Kahefa exclaimed in shock as she saw the king lifeless body reclining to the wheelchair
Some of the guards and maids broke into tears, Zuru just stood staring at his brother dead body..
"Who could have done this to a king? Kahefa ask in tears
Zuru wipe off the drop of tear that was about to fall from his eyes, he stood motionless gazing at the kings body, who could have done this to his brother was the only question that keeps ringing in his head...
Just then people began to troop into the palace, some of them instantly broke into tears upon seeing the king..while some ask how it happened but no one was replying....
Few minutes later a van arrived and the kings body was carried to the morgue...
People cry as they watch while some whisper things to one another....

********************
Princess Claude immediately lock the door after she drag her father in..
"Dad, we need to leave right now"Claude said still afraid of what she saw...
"Are you insane, you want us to leave at a time like this when the whole palace is in grief"
"You also have a palace to run, a people to rule"Claude retorted
"We are not having this discussion now"Felix said
"I know who killed the king"Claude blared out
"Who? Felix ask anxiously
"Some men"She said
"What men, and how did you know that?
Claude sigh"I was bored at the festival, so i decided to come home and sneak into the house so it wont look like am violating their custom, that was when i saw them taking turn stabbing the king... "
"Did you see their faces? Felix ask
"I couldn't see their faces clearly, it was dark"She said
"Felix grunts"You must not tell anyone about this"
"Then we should leave"Claude retorted
"We are not leaving here until our mission is accomplished, the prince will be crown king today"
"What prince? Claude interjects furiously...
She inhales and then continue"Have you seen any member of the royal family, the two princes and the queen are not here, i believe they are dead as well"
Felix realised he hasnt really see any of them, could his daughter be right..
"Dad, whoever did that to the king meant business, he killed the entire family, this was a coup"
"A change of bloodline"Felix muttered

********************
"A great tragedy has struck us"Iroko the chief priest said as made some incantation...
the chiefs and all the elders including the youths were now present at the great hall....
Iroko shook his head, he look up and look down, then continue"A great king has fallen"
"Iroko, what can be done? Chief Carlos ask
"What must be done must be done, the Ajuwa festival has been held, the coronation process must commence"Iroko said
Zuru sigh, he wonder why some people can be so mean, a king just died, but they just dont want to acknowledge that, he believes a coronation of a new king should pend until the late king is buried and put to rest....speaking of a new king, he hasnt seen the two princes and the queen anywhere, could they be dead like the king, fear begin to engulf him as he thought the worst things...
He clear his throat"Iroko,dont you think crowning a new king should pend until the late king is buried....
"You know nothing of our tradition son"Iroko interjects
"Our tradition says, after the Ajuwa festival, comes the new king, failure to do that attracts disasters... "Iroko added
Iroko was the community chief priest who comes out only on trivia matters like the kings dead, the rest of the times, he is isolated in his own world, people often think who wasn't part of them as he dont always come out of his shell....
"Where is the crown prince? Iroko ask
People look around....
"Its been rumoured that the queen and the two princes are no where to be found"Chief Ayo said
Zuru stared at him, chief Ayo was quick to say that, could the chiefs be responsible for his brother's dead...
"The auspicious time is now, if the crown prince is not here to be the king, then its the gods will that he shouldn't be king, someone else must take his place"Iroko said
"Chief priest, we should just waiy a bit for them, we can put on a search warrant for them"Zuru said
"Time is a virtue that cant be wasted, your suggestion would have be possible if the Ajuwa festival wasn't held"Iroko said
"Chief priest, giving the throne to someone else will be shifting the line of succession to another bloodline"Zuru said
"If the one the Ajuwa festival was held in honor of is not here at the auspicious time to carry out his duties then i fear the line of succession must be shift, Akpatu must have a new king, and to achieve that, the prime minister must choose a candidate"Iroko said
"You cant do this"Kahefa muttered to her husband..
Zuru took a deep breath, he fears his brothers family has been wiped out, whoever did this, this was what they want, for the line of succession to shift, since he is the prime minister, he cannot become king... He look at the chiefs who were glaring at him....
"In that case, from this instant, i cease to be the prime minister of this kingdom "he said dropping the staff of authority...
"If a prime minister abandon his duties, the people will choose a new one or one must volunteer and he must take the oath of secrecy"
"I will not be a party to this"Zuru said furiously, he grab his wife hand and left them....
The crowd watch as chief Buzo step out
"This isnt our way of doing things, a prime minister should be selected by the people and that selection takes time but the situation we are now is rather urgent, a new king must be crown.... "Iroko said
"People of Akpatu, do you take this man as your traditional prime minister? Iroko ask
It was the elders that answers, they all chorus no.. Just them the voices of the youths, they were shouting yes at the top of their voice...
"Majority carries the vote"Iroko said
Iroko turned to face him, he pick up the staff of authority"By this staff, you shall swear that you will serve the people, stand by the kings side and never to disclose any information regarding the affairs of the inner caccus"
"I swear"Chief Buzo said
"By the authority bestow on me, i pronounce you prime minister of Akpatu kingdom.....
Chief Buzo smile as he collects the staff...

**********************
His head hurts, his back ache, slowly he begin to open his eyes, at first he was still in the bush or perhaps dead, where was he, was he in the world beyond, then it became clearer to him that he was in a hut, an old rickety hut, he tried to stand up but he realise he was bandage from the chest down to his waist, he fell back on the mat as he grimace in pains, the last thing he remembers was crawling on the grasses after he was shot.. Fear grip him as he saw a shadow walking round the hut, the shadow was with a gun...

*********************
"Carlos our king"The youths echoed
"How did he get the support of the youths"Chief Mayo ask Odumodu
"I have no idea"Odumodu replied
Carlos came forward, he gigled as the crowd echoed his name
Some elders left furiously whispering to theirselves that Carlos had killed their king
"Carlos do you accept this responsibility?Iroko ask
Carlos chulkled, i am an old man, what will i be doing as a king, i think this kingship should go to my son...
Desmond Carlos son was seen walking from the crowd....
"Do you accept this responsibility?Iroko ask
"I do"Desmond said
"Do you swear by the sacred staff that you will protect your people from danger?
"I swear"
Iroko motioned for the prime minister to crown him
"By the power bestow on me, i crown you Desmond king of Akpatu kingdom "Chief Buzo said wearing the crown in his head, then he gave him the staff, Desmond sat on the throne, then the crowd hail him.....
"This is the worst coronation ceremony i have witness"King Felix said to Claude..
"Akpatu is doomed"One elder said to another...

*********************
He try to stand up and run but the pains were severe, he rolled from the mat into the ground as he try to pick a stick that was close to the mud sand..
"My prince, dont be scared "The person said running towards him
He was shocked when he saw him but he felt a bit relieved..... "Mr Azuk "He muttered
Mr Azuk nodded
"How? Pious ask
"I went for hunting the moment the festival came to an end, when i saw you, at first i thought you were dead, it was later i realise you were alive but barely, i gave you some medicine i made from the leaves to stop the bleeding, there was no one i could trust to treat you but Doctor Daniel, Doctor Daniel has helped me in the past before, he removed the bullet from your body and bandage you up, i didnt want to take you home since you might be in danger so i kept you here.. "
"Thank you"Pious muttered
"I need to see my uncle "
"My prince, you cannot go home, that evil man has been made king... "
"Chief Carlos?Pious ask anxiously
"How did you know? Mr Azuk ask
"The chiefs killed my father "
"I thought as much, those evil men will do anything to get what they want, they killed my wife and daughter and they escaped punishment.. "
"They wont this time,they will pay for what they did to my father "he thought about Francis, he wonder if he survive or dead...
"What about my mother, did you see her?
Azuk shook his head"No one has seen the queen, nor your brother, do you think they killed them the way they killed the king a'd tried to kill you?
Pious grunts, he was filled with rage, all he cares about now is revenge...
"You will do me a favour"Pious said
"What is it my prince?
"Find my uncle and bring him here but make sure no one sees or follow you... "

**********************
Raphael drag Cleopatra out of sight"Pack your things, the palace is no longer safe for us"Raphael said
Cleopatra remove her hand from his grip"What do you think i am, your daughter that you can order around"Cleopatra retorted
"Can you drop your ego for once and listen to me,whoever that must have killed the king must have also kill the princes and the queen mother, nobody is safe here"
"Then go ahead and run away like a scarecrow, am going nowhere"she blared out and walk away..
"Cleo"Raphael said after her...

*********************
"The kings murder is still a mystery to us inspector"Chief Carlos said
inspector Kess look round the room, he wonder the kind of tradition they practice here, how can they have a new king when the late king just died and his wife and children missing...
"This place was a crime scene, we would have gotten a clue if everything wasnt wipe out so fast... "Inspector Kess said
"This ground you are standing on is a sacred ground, a symbol of authority to the whole of this kingdom and beyond, you would make us sour it with the body and blood of a corpse"Chief Carlos said
"Am just saying....
"Your opinion doesn't matter in this situation "Desmond cut him short, "you should be looking for the killer and the missing princes and queen and not telling us how to run our kingdom"Desmond adddd
"We dont mean to offend you your majesty"Inspector Philip said
"Today is a happy day, i wont be offended by the mere talks of policemen, i am the king, i have an obligation to protect my people as you do"
Inspector Kess sigh"Thank you for your highness, investigation will commence now"
"My people and i are looking forward to expect positive results from you"Desmond said

"King Zubayi,our great great grand father"King Godfrey replied as they both gigled
"And what made him do that? Zuru ask
"He was sick, barely alive according to the story"Godfrey said
"So Brother,anyone in your choose would have probably done the same thing regardless of if its right or wrong"Zuru said

Everyone will join except the king, it is tradition that the king stays in the house"
"Unguarded?She ask
"Yes, he alone will stay home"

"It is believed that when he does that, that way he communicates with the past kings.. "
"And what do they tell him? Kahefa ask curiously

"Get me out..!,Get out now, you will be dealt with in the morning"King Godfrey said
"There will be no one to deal with me, dead men tell no tales"Carlos said as he drew closer to him

"Your highness"Cleopatra said from behind them
Pious scoffs as he saw her, Cleopatra quickly stood beside him..
"Are you enjoying the festival? Pious ask

A boy came running towards them, he breathe heavily when he got to where they are...
"My prince.. "he said with shaking mouth
"The king is in trouble.. "
"What... "Pious blared out..
Without hesitation, he quickly took off.."

Blood filled the floor, Godfrey creep in the floor as he gasp for breath, he creep to the door, he was fading, dying....
"How does it feel to be so close to death? Carlos ask
"You are not just fit to be king, after we are done with you, we will kill your sons and wife and end your bloodline....."
"What about Zuru, Zuru is his younger brother"
"Zuru is already the traditional prime minister, he cannot be king"
"Father.. "Pious scream from outside the door, he rushed towards his father who was struggling to creep outside...
"Dad"Francis called out
"It seems, God has favoured us today, our plan is going accordingly "Carlos said as the rest chulkled...
Godfrey cough out blood, the pains was too much, he reclined his back in Pious back... He try to speak but no words seems to come out, with pains he managed to utter.. "RUN"
Pious knew staying with his father will probably get them killed, his father was already at the verge of dead, he kissed his forehead, release him from his grip,then he hold Francis hand...

He thought about his brother at home, he must be feeling lonely...
"But isn't this tradition awkward?Kahefa ask

"Leaving a king unguarded like that, i dont seem it as a good tradition"Kahefa said
"Speaking of that, have you seen the queen and the princes, we are suppose to be together"Zuru said, looking around if he will caught glance of any of them..
"Am sure they are fine wherever they are"Kahefa said
Zuru nodded....

***********************
They ran as fast as thier legs can carry them, the gap between them and the thugs was closing in, they had no choice but to divert into the bush....
"Aren't we going to get mother? Francis ask in tears
"Its too late for that"Pious replied as he drag his younger brother deep into the bush, the cold was freezing, they could feel the grasses piercing thier skin... They were tired,Pious recalled what has just happened, those evil chiefs killed thier father, if he had know he would have listen to his instincts telling him to stay that something bad was going to happen...his instincts was a warning, he just didn't yield to it, he presume by now his father must be dead.. He was so filled with thoughts that he didnt realise when he hit his leg on a big wood in the ground, he immediately collasped to the ground, he grimace in pains as his leg begin to bleed, he tried to stand up but he couldn't...
Then they heard footsteps fast approaching them..
"Go"He said to Francis
"No, am not leaving you here"Francis said
"Go, one of us has to stay alive, go please"Pious said as he push him..
Francis was hesitant, but when he saw the close range they were with them....
"I love you brother"He said and ran off
Pious sigh, he tried to stand up again but it was too late, they were already there with him...
"So you think you can run very well"One of the thugs said
Pious look at the sky, it was almost dawn, their faces were visibly seen
"You murderers"He yelled
Just then they shot him.. Pious collapsed on the floor..
"Lets get the other boy"One of them said, then they started pursuring him....
They became on which way he he must have took.. There was darkness evrywere..
"He couldn't have gotten far, he must still be in the bush, its almost dawn, we will find him soon"

*********************
The festival was now coming to an end, people were beginning to troop home to use the other few hours of the night to have some sleep...
"Am glad i came, i enjoyed every part of this festival"Kahefa said
"Me too"he said as they enter the palace, they watch as maids and guards began to dispatch to their various quarters and positions
"I still havent the Queen or the princes.. "
"Come on my husband, it was a festival, you cant possibly see everyone, you will see them at dawn.. "
Zuru nodded as he follow his wife to their chamber...

******************
When it was dawn, the maids and guards began to carry out their daily duties, some of them were not satisfied with the sleep but today was a great day, it was a day where a new king will be crown..., Anita one of the maids carried her broom as she enters the inner palace, there she saw someone sitting in a wheelchair backing her, she wonder if the king slept here...
"Your majesty"She said but no reply came, she felt he was sleeping, she didn't want to disturb him but why would the king be sleeping in a wheelchair, with curious mind, she walk up to him..
"Your majesty"She muttered again, then she walk to his front,heart pounding hands shaking, she scream loudly.....

*****************
With shock Francis woke up, he cant believe he has actually fallen asleep, he has been crying, he doesn't understand how he had manage to fall asleep...he wonder what must have happened to his brother, was he dead like his father, Just then he heard footsteps....then he caught gaze of them...
"I see him"One of the thugs shouted..
Immediately Francis took off as they chased after him...
He ran as fast his legs can carry him making sure he doesn't hit anything
They were at close range, he knew for a fact he wont be able to outrun them but yet he kept running...
He stop when he ran to a cliff, fear engulfed him when he look under, he began to shake when he saw the river flowing down there...
"This is the end of the road boy"The thug said
Francis look at the river again, his inner mind was telling him to jump
"Dont even think about jumping, that is the Ogini river, you will die there and your body will never be found... "One of the thugs said
Francis scoffs, so this was the famous ogini river where people enter and disappear mysteriously...
"Just come here, we will give you an honorable dead"
Francis glare at them.."You will all pay for this"he said with rage in his eyes...
Without hesitation he jump into the river...
"Stupid boy"one of the thug muttered

Carlos chulkled"To kill a tree, you get rid of the root, Zuru is not our problem, the king and his entire family has to die"
"And how do we go about that, all our attempts to kill him has gone fruitless"Chief Mayo said
Carlos smile"Tomorrow night is Ajuwa festival, as tradition demands, a king does not participate in the festival"
"He will be in the palace"Chief Buzo interjects
"Without guards or maids, just him"
"Nobody will know if he is dead"

"Our king"Chief Mayo said as Pious walk into their midst
Pious smile faintly, "I greet you chiefs"The chiefs nodded as they ask him to sit down...
Drinks were immediately brought to him but he rejected them..
"My king, it is customary that when a person of a higher level visits yoj, you should do your utmost best to make that person feel comfortable, The drink that was serve to you was out of our kind gesture, you are a king, you deserve the best"Chief Buzo said while the rest nodded
"Am not king yet elders"Pious said
"Elders! Chief Ayo exclaimed
"We are chiefs my king, you should address us as one"Chief Ayo added
Pious chulkled"It doesn't really make any difference to me, been chief or elder, you are all my father's subjects, so i believe the same treatment should be given to us... "
The chiefs felt embarrassed...
"Spoken like the true son of your father"Chief Carlos cut in
"But i believe you dont know our traditions and customs yet"chief Carlos added
He clear his throat then continue"You see, we were all saddened by your father's condition,but his decision to make you king was a hasten one, i keep asking myself, does he know the norns of our people, being king comes with so much responsibility,are you ready to bear all those burden...?
Pious knew were the conversation was going, but he just sat and listen..
Chief Carlos sigh"Your Father was a great king in his time but he had so many lapses, being king doesn't just concern rulling a half kingdom but a full kingdom, your father in his reign favoured some people and left the people that matters,and this decision of his led to many lost opportunities, this community would have been the most wealthiest in the world if your father had listen to us.. "

"That i dont know, but as tradition demands, if a king dies, a son will continue.... "Odumodu replied

"There is nothing wrong, is just that when i have nothing to say, i look at my watch"
"Well, that is new, what other things do you do when you are bored"
She chuckled"You seriously dont want me to start counting.... "
