Onishi was sick because of the cold that entered his body through the night, and the illegitimate prince was laid on a table in a smoky room and was been attended to by a grim-looking man with an overgrown beard.Several eyes feasted on the naked prince and whispering voices boomed louder in the small room. "You are lucky I didn't let the wolves out, otherwise, you would have ended their meal by now.""Let him keep pulling his luck and he will be dead in a few days.""Please let me go. Am going crazy here."Jade entered the room, peered around, then smirked at the sight of the prince on the table as she walked closer and let out, "you are free to go whenever you want. But let me advise you that you won't make it out of this island alive.""Please help me to ascend my father's throne, and I promised you wealth beyond your dream.""Aren't you no longer recruiting mercenaries for the foreigners?""No. All the men recruited so far are only loyal to me, and not to the foreigners. I decide
Onishi walked in the forest for a long time, arrived at the seashore and gazed over the vast area of water that spread as far as his eyes can see.Glancing right and left, and seeing no speedboat around, he was lost on the way forward and sat at the riverside in a forlorn state. "How did my abductor leave this island?" He asked himself, picked up some small riverbed stones and subconsciously hurled them into the ocean before him. Swimming out of this place is insane, yet Onishi would have contemplated the idea if only he had a map or knew the precise place he is. But as it is, he is as blind as a bat, and it would be the greatest of all foolery to swim blindly inside this murky-colour, turbulent ocean.Nevertheless, the prince knew he can't give up. Not now, nor ever. As long as he breathed, he had vowed to fight for what truly belonged to him. It was the suspicious waves of the sea that first caught the deep-in-thought prince, and his eyes were fixed on the moving object that see
It started with some deadly smell emitting from the two extreme rooms belonging to the lady of services inside Johji Inn, and the arrival of heat due to the scorching sun made the smell unbearable and demand immediate intervention."What is smelling from these two rooms, and where are the occupants?" Sheila who was summoned from her section of the managerial quarters asked the ladies loitering around the long and wide hallway."The occupants have not been seen since yesterday, and we do not know what caused this horrible smell.""Break down the doors. We need to find out the cause-, she paused, pointed at one of the open mouth ladies and let out, " go and confirm from the mafia at the gate if the two ladies left this inn.""This door needs the attention of well-muscles males and not for us. I suggest you asked the managers to break it."Sheila turned and glared at the lady who dare object to her order, glanced at the hardwood door, then at the fragile-arms ladies, nodded her head, and
The worst feeling on earth is to be betrayed by loved ones, and only a strong man can forgive such deception. Zuma wasn't excluded, he was as sour as an injured mule when he walked into Andrea's section of the palace to demand the presence of his lover.After thorough checking for concealed weapons, he was admitted into Andrea's quarters, allowed to seat at the lounge in front of her room, and a glass of locally made wine was offered to wetted his throat until his betrothed arrived.The sad-looking mafia was deaf to the romantic song booming from Andrea's room, and his mind was turbulence over the woman whom he had trusted with his love."Trust is earned, not given. Did you trust her?" His subconscious screamed out, and he immediately sighed at his hypocrisy."Of course, I don't trust her. I had kept a lot of secrets from her as well."Nevertheless, the wound from the disloyalty was still fresh when a pretty-looking lady in well-adorned clothing stepped through the dark curtain, wal
We are what they eatBanjo was through with his daily task, took a hot shower and stepped out of the palace's large gate.Due to the rain that had been drizzling since morning, the gaunt-looking mafia was dressed in a sweater with a hood and hopped over puddles of water that fell from the sky.All around him were filled with fog, and he walked for a while, peered into the unseen distance, and then halted. After looking wearily for a while, he knelt on one leg, and a pistol immediately materialized in his hand.A second. Two seconds. Three seconds.The mafia remained immobile with ears raised and eyes darting and he was about to pull the trigger when someone announced from the haze. "Hey, Banjo. We are from the merchants. Lower your gun." "Why hidden under the fog if you are not here for evil purposes? Stepped out now." "Two overly dressed guards stepped out of the trees where they had been hidden, and their physical appearance became noticeable as they wobble closer to Banjo.Apa
After Onishi near death escape, he was seen dancing and singing a lullaby to the crying baby, while the rest of the dwellers were busy playing a chess game and cracking jokes. Their laughter sounded louder than the sound of the rain beating on the roofing sheets, and the merriment on their faces is so contagious to the extent that the grimly-looking prince temporarily forget his initial anxiety, and laugh along with the rest of the gang. "I suggest that Jade should stay here with us forever. Her quips are the reason for the recent amusement in this place." "Aye. She is fun to be with, and there is never a dull moment in her presence." Jade stood up from the floor, patted the back of the laughing men, turned around and walked towards Onishi. "I want you to call Priest and confirm his movement." "Huh! Did you think I will be cooperative towards you guys?" "No. I don't expect you to be agreeable, but I believe we can cajole you to be." "Damn you, Jade. I won't help you to dig my gr
A white-painted mini-truck drove through a lonely deserted road and the two lights from the headlamps of the truck showed brightly in the darkness that covered the earth because of the absence of stars and moon.The two occupants inside the truck were silent, and a hood covered the head of a lady among the pair. "Are you sure you are up to this?" "I have no choice. I am happy that I have a chance to defend my life and not be hurled into the palace cell." "You deserve what is coming to you. Nevertheless, I can stop myself from feeling sorry for you." "You suppose to be happy. After all, am saving your lover from harm's way." Zuma nodded his head, swerve left to avoid a pothole that was filled with erosion water, then changed the truck gear and accelerate faster. In replacement of Mandy, Shiela was made to dress as a royal maid, handed a small revolver and ordered to disguise herself as the culprit. "It's a suicidal mission." "I agreed. Yet I feel exhilarated instead of getting s
Twenty-two men in black uniforms paddled through the creek at the rear of the palace, and it was the disturbance of the night insects that makes the tight-lipped men curse out. "The mosquitoes here were bigger than houseflies and they can devour the flesh of a baby before daybreak.""Let them be. We are the ones invading their lair."Dressed in sweaters, hoods and socks. Yet the mosquitoes with their six thin, needle-like mouthparts, pierced the clothing and the flesh of their victims, find their blood vessels and suck their blood with their stylets. "Ouch!"One among the men raised his hand, targeted a mosquito that just perched on his nose, and then descended with calculated speed on the tiny insect.WHACK"Ahh! I can't imagine that I just slap myself, and the mosquito even congratulates me for being a merry fool after.""My problem is not the mosquitoes, but how we planned to pull this enormous task through. Am scared of sneaking into the palace cell, being aware of what lies ahe
