“What is your name warrior?” the Princess asked.
“My name is Judas your highness,” he replied.
“Do you know the reason you are hear?” asked Dorothy?
No my Princess. I do not know why I was summoned,” Judas said.
“Are you familiar with what happens to those warriors who mess around with the King’s maidens?”
“Yes I am very much aware my Princess but, what does that have to do with me?”
“Well, I was hoping you could tell me about it.”
“Sorry to question you my Princess but, why should I tell you about it?”
“Well, as funny as that is, it has come to my attention that, you have been messing around with a King’s maiden.”
“Forgive me my Princess but that is not true. I know not about this maiden you talk about.”
“Assuming that were
After all was over and they were dismissed, Dorothy sent for Jessica in her chambers. Upon arrival, she thanked her so much for what she had done and praised her for being a good soldier and guardian of the throne.Jessica on the other hand did not buy that. She was now certain that, the Princess and the Captain were lovers and that is why Dorothy had to thank her. She was now after hearing it directly from Dorothy’s mouth.“Thank you for your acknowledgements and compliment my princess. I am honored to be at your service,” responded Jessica.“It’s okay Jessica. I have realized that you are not only best at serving me but also serving the people of Kamu and the crown as well,” added Dorothy.“For that, I am grateful my princess but, there is this question I have wanted to ask you for quite some time now.” Jessica continued.“What question Jessica? You are free to as
One week was not that much time. It elapsed and the day for the execution of Mwithali and his minions had come. From the dungeons, they were taken as the people gathered into the arena in wait for yet another historic event. In Kamu, only such things and those like them would make the cut into the books of history. To those still with humanity in their souls, this was never a source of exhilaration. It was true that Mwithali and these warriors had made a mistake but they did not deserve to die.No man had the right to take away another man’s life but, would you say such to King Martin, you could easily find your name next to Mwithali’s as an example to others. Most of the people did not like such events. They left them hurt and less of their loved ones. For Martin and those of his kind, this was a sign of true leadership and the duty of a true King. Whenever such executions had to be done, it was only the ordinal people that suffered and not those of the roy
This got her even more confused and therefore, she had serious homework to do. She had to find out why the maiden girl was immune to her great powers. At the back of her mind though, she had a clue of what could be causing it but it was hard for her to come to speed with the fact.There was once a rumor that, there lived people that were immune to such powers and the like. The why she could not come to speed with it was the how they were born. Those that had such abilities could only be born of a witch and a wizard of the highest order. She could not dare to imagine that Martha could be one of those. After all, she had the suspicion that Jessica might be her mother and there was no chance for her to be a witch. With all this information, she had quit a task to accomplish in piecing it all together and to make sense of it.As far as she was concerned, Jessica could never be a witch and, even if she was, there was no way that her husband could have been a wizard of the h
King Martin was following everything to the last detail because he did not want any stone unturned before the next attack. This close attention to the progress of his mission unveiled another discovery. People in the Kingdom had started to die mysteriously without any probable cause.This was not something to assume or joke about. Having been a member of the Kamu society since childhood, he definitely knew what that meant. The witches were back in action again and this time he had no clue whatsoever of what they could be after and why.Their biggest problem and dilemma was that, the witches were back and there was nobody in existence that could counter their powers. The Princess’s linage was the most powerful of witches in the land. Martin was sure that this finished with the death of his grandmother. Once this power was associated with a family, it was said to be in the blood of the off springs.This meant that this power was in their bl
The wizard continued saying that he was not told of a specific thing that should be changed but, it had to do with plummeting of the evil deeds that they were doing. Upon hearing this, the King and those around were shocked of the news.Although Martin got shocked as well, he could not fall for it that easily. This wizard had to prove that he was not the one behind this epidemic he talked about and more so, the deaths of people already happening in the land. He was thrown to the dungeon as a remedy in case things got worse. Martin could not risk letting him go.After the Princess heard of what the wizard had said, she went to visit him in the dungeon to inquire more about it. After they met, the wizard commented and said that he knew she would go to see him. This got the Princess confused and in wonder of why the wizard had to make such a comment.“Do not be afraid your highness. There is nothing to cause worry. It’s not that the go
At Lampa Kingdom, King Kang’ethe heard news of what was happening at Kamu. One thing he knew for sure was with what was happening at Kamu, Martin could not plan another assail any time soon. Above this, Kang’ethe could not thank the gods enough. He had believe that, it was by so doing that Martin could finally stop the hostilities and love peace.King Martin gave what the wizard had told him a thought and decided to do the honorable thing. He wanted the wizard to see that he was doing as the gods wanted. He also wanted a way to fool King Kang’ethe to giving him the throne without much of a fight. He also thought that by soon doing that the gods would not attack the land.This was because, according to his theory, the gods only hated wars and blood of the people having to be poured in the name of peace. This time he was for deceit. This was not war and the people did not have to die for his plan to work just the way he wanted it to. After all, pe
As Jessica and the wizard parted ways, the Princess was busy taking the part of the brother in ruling the Kingdom in preps for what she had planned for herself. If all went well, she was to be the rightful ruler of both Kamu and Lampa. In her mind though, she was disturbed by the thought of what the wizard had told her about knowing her more than just being a witch and her love for Joseph.She also needed answers from the wizard but this had to wait for a while until she was acquainted with the throne and giving the orders. This is not because she was not familiar with all this but because she wanted to know and do more so that the people of Kamu could get used to her rule. As far as she was concerned, she was to be the next ruler of the two Kingdoms as one.King Martin, the Captain and the warriors who left for the peace talks to Lampa were almost there. As they walked, the Captain and the King were talking. Mostly, the Captain was so much in need to know of the wizar
Martha, one of the maidens and Jessica’s daughter noticed something about her mother too. She seemed troubled ever since the wizard had arrived at the Kingdom. She also knew that it was not something about the Kingdom or the Princess but something more personal.Martha knew that her mother had met the wizard some days earlier. She knew her behavior must be related to what she was told by the wizard. This gave reason for Martha to ask the many questions she had for her mother. Ever since she was a child, her mother used to tell her that her father died in the war with Lampa.She believed that until then. This is because, every time she asked about her father, her mother would have the same kind of sentiment. Although she was not sure what the wizard had told her mother, she had a clue that it had to do with her father or their family.After all, this was the best time for them to have a talk with no hurry for only the Princess was left in the throne and she
