Chapter 301

Father paused to take a much needed deep breathe before he proceeded, " will you like that for our kingdom? will it be better to take precautions for something we don't know if we need precautions for?".

Have I told you all how much I love my father?

How awesome I think he is?

Father might not know this, but he's doing me a great favour by supporting the idea of a mutual meeting.

" High king is right. We can't continue cowering in fear while others laugh and trample on us. We can't continue being afraid of things we don't know anything about when we've not tried them out. 

Cowering is for fools, and Ugali is far from being fools. 

I know we're taking a risk by allowing the enemies into our territory, but the the risk will be worth it of we're seen as being brave.

I say we send out those letters to them", he nods at Father.

" I support Elder Lik, his words are true", 

" I support Elder Lik"

" Let's send those letters out to them"

I inwardly smiled at the supports from the other elders.

Elder Francis, Tank and Habu although not happy with the decision still gave their consents when asked.

I guess they've decided to join the winning team up avoid being taken as traitors.

"It's decided then", Father smiled, "I will have my messengers set out with the letters, they need to be delivered before dusk today as the meeting will start in three days time" father informed them.

Three days time?

That seems more like an eternity to me than mere three days, but I will wait because it's said the patient dog eats yeh fattest bone.

I will have to ensure three more days of sleepless nights before I can be able to sleep in their embrace like how it was back at the academy.

I can't wait for our return back there since that's the only place we can Stay together without anyone raising a brow at us.

The elders looks to be in a meeting of their own, with their head bent as they each whispered to themselves.

"Are they planning on overthrowing me?", I asked Kwofo who have been too damn silent ever since the meeting began.

"Trust me Buch, no one wants to take your position, it's enough trouble trying to be a prince, trying to please everyone around them. I will say no one wants such trouble", Kwofo shivers as of the mere thought of being a prince scares him. 

"Don't lie, I know you want to be a prince just like I, it doesn't hurt to admit to your fantasies", I winked at him.

" I said I don't want! carry your burden alone and stop looking for someone to share it with you", he glared at me.

Before I can retort, a throat was cleared,

"My King" Elder Lik bows, "you told us about the request, but you never did tell us exactly what he will be discussed in the meeting, and all those stuffs".
