With everything in play and in line with their plans, it was now the time for them to execute and do it to the best of their ability. Dorothy, being the heart of the King’s mission, she knew that she was a step ahead. Indeed, Jessica’s guess was not a guess after all! She never seemed disturbed by the news told to her by Jessica because, she heard someone tell her earlier. One morning after the King had left for his expeditions, Dorothy demanded for the Captain’s presence in her private chambers. Upon the Captain’s arrival into the palace, there happened what could never have been thought of even to the off springs to come. With the King’s absence, there was no much movement in the palace. They had the perfect time to be together without much suspicion and eyes on them. Their greeting alone was a sign of not only two people that longed to be together but, also for those in deep love! Dorothy, being an offspring of the royal blood was not to have an affair or be in any relationship wi
Upon her arrival into the chambers, Dorothy was shocked by Jessica’s visit. Dorothy asked her of where she was and why she had visited even without notice. Although it was weird for Dorothy to question her visit, Jessica claimed to be checking on her. It was her duty as the chief maiden to check and make sure the Princess was okay. Due to the little span of time between the Captain’s departure and Jessica’s arrival, the Princess was sure of one thing. Jessica and Joseph must have met somewhere along the way. This was no good news to her bearing in mind the many secrets that needed to keep secret. Though Jessica was so close to her, she was not at a position to know about her relationship with the Captain or the mission. Without any further waste of time, Dorothy came up with a way to lower the heat in the room. ”I believe you have come across the Captain on his way out as you were coming?” asked Dorothy. “Yes my princess. I have met him just after the stairway. He has told me that,
Lampa Kingdom was still under tension and preparation in wait of this fateful event. King Kang’ethe and his wife Jacinta were the most troubled. They could not stop to blame themselves for having no heir to the throne, if not the gods. They were certain that it was the main reason why King Martin threatened to attack. If wishes were horses, they could have an heir to the throne for; they could have given an ear to the council members to adopt. King Kang’ethe, back in the days got married to Jacinta while still in power. After their marriage, he realized the pleasure of being in love. He loved Jacinta so much that he never dreamt of a life without her. It was during this time that he decided every man had the right to love and the people were at liberty to fall in love. A year later, they were blessed with a beautiful daughter and heir to the throne. Lampa being the only Kingdom where the people had the right to love, this brought a lot of tension in the other Kingdoms. After a while
In between the last day of battle and this day that he was summoned by the King, he took his time to consult the Princess of the way forward. He was cautious enough to avoid being spotted or raise suspicion. The reasons he gave the King were those they had discussed with his lover. This shifted the blame from his side to the battalion as a whole. Finally, they concluded that, something better needed to be done for next time. “Captain, tell me, what happened out there at the battle field such that I had to withdraw the warriors. Is this Captainship becoming a burden to you, or, what is it that made you lose to Lampa for God’s sake. Enlighten me Captain,” asked the King. “My lord, it’s not that the Captainship is a burden to me but, the Lampa warriors were quite prepared for us and some new warriors were not well prepared. We did not have enough time to have them be the best my King,” said the Captain. “So Captain, you are telling me that the warriors were not well prepared. Since whe
Without waste of anymore second, she came up with her own theory to get Joseph off the hook. In this theory, she made sure to implicate Mwithali to get him off their backs completely. This meant that Mwithali had to die no matter the cost. He was becoming a stump on their way to success. Although she had this figured out, she could not tell it directly to the King. It could either get her and Joseph exposed, else it could sound staged or vague. She had to do it in such a way not to raise an alarm. She also needed to make sure that Joseph knew of her plan. Their talk and accusations towards Mwithali needed to match; else, it could mean disaster. This approach to the King needed to use facts such that, he was supposed to convince himself of Joseph’s innocence. This therefore meant that, Dorothy had to use a trusted warrior to deliver an encrypted message to the Captain. He was to inform the Captain of her plan. After she did this, she was now free to open up to the King and tell of thi
“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
