Sometimes humbling yourself before another person is not a bad thing, especially when your sanity, family, and all those who depend and relay on your actions to survive and have a better tomorrow. Look to you for answers. The people of Manzini kingdom depended on king Sbanisezwe to humble himself and make things right for them and their kingdom. But not only that, Sbanisezwe owes it to his son to make things right.
He is the parent after all and he was supposed to reprimand his son when he did wrong, encourage him when he did right, and help him back on the right path when he went astray. But our dearest lion king of Manzini could not bear the thought of bowing down to a child because he was taught that children obey their elders and do as they are told by them.
The king and queen of Bakoena went into the guest-chamber to join their guests. They got in and settled on the couch opposite them. “Welcome to my kingdom once again, I would like to introduce you to my queen Mabotle.” Lerumo introduced his wife to the guests. “Greetings to you all and welcome to our humble kingdom.” The queen Mabotle greeted them with a warm smile.“Greetings my queen, I am queen Nkanyezi, my prince Ntsikayomuzi and my king Sbanisezwe Zulu. We are from Manzini kingdom based in South Africa.” The queen of Manzini introduced everyone. “A pleasure to meet you all.” Queen Mabotle said. “To what do we owe the pleasure of being visited by royals of such a far kingdom?” Lerumo asked them but he kept his eyes
At the field Tokelo, Lebo and Thabiso got out of the car and dragged Ntsika out as well. The way he was chilled it was like nothing was happening, he even had a smile on his face and that seemed to piss the three off. They dragged him to the middle of the field. “Now that there are no people defending you, show me what you have got,” Thabiso told Ntsika, he smirked then chuckled shaking his head.“Easy now, you might hurt yourself.” Tokelo was so angry with Ntsika, his cool and calm attitude did not help at all. This boy was asking for death! “Boy, you don’t know who we are so, stop while you at it,” Tokelo warned. “And do not forget that you are talking to your elders here Zulu boy.” Lebo teased with a smirk of
Tokelo and Lebo were seating on haystacks on the field that were reserved for the cows and horses to eat but they made them their temporary couches to sit and enjoy watching the fight before them. At sometime Ntsika managed to get up from the ground, he was determined to show the Sotho prince what he was made of. Thabiso on the other side was chilled looking at Ntsika with his hawk eyes, watching his every move like hawk watching a fish inside the water waiting for just the right time to strike.Ntsika moved quickly towards Thabiso and threw a punch. But since Thabiso had a speed of a cheetah he was quick to dodge the punch that left Ntsika spinning a few times before he stopped. He did not wait for him to recover he threw his own punch at Ntsika, one so powerful as Thabiso now
The three guys took Ntsika back to the palace and called the palace doctor to check on him. King Letsi saw them but he did not say a word and continued with what he was doing. The parents were still locked up but they were taken care of, they were given water to bathe, a change of clothes, and food. The next day everyone got ready to go to the river as instructed by the chief priest.People were dressed in nice traditional attires as they were told that this was definitely the last day of the coronation. All those who did not know Mapula could not wait to finally meet her, Kwezi was also dressed in her traditional attire as per the ways of her people and she also could not wait to see her friend. Thabiso was dressed in a suit with his royal blanket over on one shoulder.
The celebrations went on until sunset, some guests left and some remained. They were to leave at sunrise, Mapula and Kwezi shared a room as they wanted to catch up. The king of Bakoena got the message that the other kings wanted to meet with him and he set up a meeting for sunrise after the morning feast. He wondered what they could possibly want but his queen convinced him that it could only be about business nothing more.Everyone retired to their sleeping chambers early as they were tired by the events of the day. At sunrise, the king woke up and did his daily hygiene routine. He wanted to be early at the morning feast as he was the host, so he wanted his guest to feel welcomed at his palace. They went to the dining room for their morning feast and it was just the kings and p
In the guest-chamber, the Manzini royal family was pushed into a corner worried about what they could have done now to cause the girl to look at them that way. The king was mostly irritated about the fact that a mere child just spoke to him like she is talking to one of her mates. Ntsika on the other side could not wait to hear what Mpande had to say.Queen mother Mabotle has a big heart and was now feeling sorry for the Manzini royals but she knew better than to say anything. She knew that she could not stand against the rain queen and her word was final. So, as her mother, she was just there to support her daughter but not to stand against her or question her. Unless she was asked.
Two days after the meeting with the Manzini royals, king Sbanisezwe brought all that the queen requested, the ones for her father and for her. Then they went to BaTloung kingdom and gave the elephants as well as the prince’s robe and cover. Today is Mapula and Thabiso’s wedding. Kwezi spent the night with Mapula in a hotel in the capital.The wedding was to take place at the capital then off to Bakoena for the bride’s traditional send-off by her parents then to her new home in BaTloung. “I am so nervous and I have this feeling like something is going to happen but I can’t put my finger on it,” Mapula told Kwezi and she rolled her eyes. “Of course, something is going to happen, you are getting married,” Kwezi said making her shake h
At the venue the guests were already seated waiting for the groom to come in, Thabiso was sweating outside and Lesego was trying to calm him down before going inside. King Letsi noticed that his son was not coming in and he left after telling his queen that he was going to look for him. He went outside to the parking lot saw him standing with Lesego and he went to them.“We must now wait for the bride and the groom?” he asked as soon as he got to them. “I am coming father; I just need a moment,” Thabiso told his father. “For what?” asked king Letsi. “Just some time to pull myself together,” he told him and king Letsi raised his eyebrow looking at him. “He is scared,” Lesego told the king and he chuckled. “I know h
