Lerumo and his sons got to the palace and there was no sign of guards or maidens except the ones they came with. There was also no sign of Lethabo, the palace looked abandoned and the paint on the walls was chipped making the palace look like it has been abandoned centuries ago. Lerumo asked the guards and maidens he was with to go and call everyone that used to work at the palace.
Tokelo and Lebo went door to door delivering food parcels to the people and the people were happy to have heir king back and were grateful for the food they received. Lerumo was busy in his study talking to suppliers, builders, and the pharmaceutical company. He was asking them to start work the following day as his people could not wait long for services.
While everyone was asleep Ntsika was finalizing his plan, he went to the guard who was on night duty just outside the palace door, looking distraught and of course the caring guard had to ask what was bothering the prince. He told the guard that his friend the one he came with to the palace was is trying to take his betrothed from him, he told the guard that he heard him confess his love for her and now he doesn’t know what to do.“But my prince, that is not allowed in this kingdom, it is an abomination!” the guard was shocked that someone could do something like that, these things were frowned upon in the kingdom. “I know but he is my friend and I brought him here to support me when I introduce the princess to the king and queen, now this.” Ntsika
At BaTlakwana kingdom the preparations for the king’s funeral were underway. Neighboring kingdoms were informed, even though most of them were not interested in attending the funeral because of the kind of person king Papi was. Tsietsi went back to the palace the following morning and has been helping with the preparations, he felt that his eyes were heavy and that he had a bit of a headache. He went to his chamber and took a nap. While napping he had a dream where he saw his mother, he was happy to see her. ‘Mother, I am so happy to see you, why have you not visited me all this while?’ he was teary-eyed not believing that he was seeing his mother, this woman died when he was only nine years old. ‘I have always been here son; you just could not see me.&r
BoitumeloI have been locked up in here for months now, I have not seen Thabiso since the day he locked me up. I wish I could see him, just once so that I can apologise to him for what I have done, as for Lehasa, am sure he even stopped looking for me, if he was even looking. My mother, I hope she is okay wherever she is, I know she is worried sick about me and I wish I had a way of contacting her and let her know that I am okay.I know that this is my doing, if only I had used the portion the way my mother instructed, then I would not be here now. My greed got me here and I have no one to blame but myself. Am sure that I have lost my job my now, when I ge
The lion king Sbanisezwe Zulu was now standing at the palace gates waiting for the rain queen to come so that he can attempt to stop her. He could see her from where he was standing as she was coming closer and closer to the palace, the guards and maidens have stopped working and were now looking at the angel flying towards their palace. The queen took Ntsika and they went to Mhlanga rocks where he stayed when he is not at the palace.The people left the village square to go and check on the damage done to their houses. Those who lived on the other side took shortcuts to their homes to try and get there on time to get their families to safety. Those who stayed close walked behind the rain queen weeping as they went along, witnessing the damage that was being caused
A week later at BaTlakwana, the day of the funeral has arrived, many people attended the funeral, the king’s and queens from different kingdoms came to pay their last respects to the fallen king. Lerumo and Letsi were among those present at the funeral, also Papi’s business associates were there but they didn’t come to pay their last respects but to look out for their interests.They wanted to meet with Tsietsi after the funeral to find out what will happen to the business since Papi died. Tsietsi on the other side has not been himself the whole week, he doesn’t talk to anyone and looks like someone who is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. The elders thought that he was grieving his father’s death but that was not the case.
TsietsiAfter the funeral I went to Cape Town, South Africa, I booked myself into the Southern Sun hotel at the CBD. Cape Town CBD is always busy but that Is not what I came here for, at the hotel, I met a guy who was staying at the same hotel, his Australian and was here for business. But it was like he was sent just for me, to shed some light on my dark world and If I didn’t know better, I would say that he was sent by my mother to help me out.He told me about his father that passed away a year ago, how he left him and his mother when he was born and how they never had a relationship but left all his businesses to him when he died, both legal and illegal ones.
