Arrogant

" do you guys want to sleep or go on another battle . We could go hunting after all we out of meat. " the menacing voice of Sizwe was heard making everyone go silent .

The night passed by they countinue ,this time they didn't encounter any problems .

The more they moved forward the colder it got . Day 4 finally arrived they could see , buildings from afar. Only few hours left for them to arrive at the borders .The place that separated both continents . West and East .

They arrived in 2 hours , some guards were shivering ,since they had on lighter clothes as their temperature were high at this time .

Snow was all over the tree ,When they arrived they found many guards there and the crown prince waiting for them .

They dismount their horses ,as they look at the crown prince ,who watched them with a slight tense expression.

To be honest they truly thought they'll die by now .They should have meet with that monster that they fear ,plus obviously the weather was colder. Didn't they say they were used to hotter weathers?

" you must be king Sizwe " crown prince Raymond smiled as he went towards Sizwe who just got off the horse .

" you are ...". Sizwe looked at Raymond with a blank expression ,which Raymond took as a disrespect.

" crown prince of This kingdom . "

" ooh ,show us to your father " Sizwe didn't even spare him another glance ,he didn't even bother bowing to him .

Raymond clenched his fist as he smiled lightly trying to control his anger .

" yes follow me to his Majesty " .

They all walked towards the castle .What Sizwe realise about their buildings was that they were build in a completely different style from theirs .

The castle looked majestic ,they walked in after they announced their arrival there .

The king ,king Charles along with his queen ,queen Marley were sitting in their chairs .Two concubines on the king's side . Since their people don't practice two or more wives policy . Sizwe and the rest thought those must be the children of the king.

They were only five of them , the guards stayed outside .

" your majesty " Sizwe's deep voice said as they all stand up without bowing at him ,after all no mountain bow to another mountain . If king Charles wants respect let him earn it .

King Charles cancelled his hatred well as he nudged his two concubines to bow . Those concubines couldn't help giggling as they watched those 5 giant men stood there. You couldn't deny their beauty as they all looked young. None above 30 years old .

Sizwe lead them as his eyes frowned a little. He didn't like this attention and those seductive glances that those two throw their way .

" food is ready your grace " an announcement came as they walked to another look that still look extravaganza as that one .

.Plates made of diamond were pilled in line ,forks and knifes . Everything was sparkling with diamonds, silver and gold.

Food came in as they sat down ,Stewed pork ,cornbread , biscuits,hardtack , salted beef,turkey and pheasant.

They were served some wines and punch, along with some fruits .

The food did smell fragrant, but they were slightly different from the food they ate .For example ,they didn't eat pork at all . In their tribe pork was forbidden.

" we all know,you came here in order to obtain peace between the two tribes, we have many kingdoms . Mine stands for all the kingdoms ." King Charles took a sip as he continued " all 20 kingdoms will arrive tomorrow. We will have to offer something to secure peace " .

" something like what ? "

" Maybe a marriage alliance, we will hear tomorrow about other kings' opinion."

Sizwe frowned , he didn't like how everything was processing at all . Marriage alliance? how ? what ? .

All five of them didn't like them.

" Most of us are already married " Aziz interject,as he frowned looking at this king . Who did they want to offer marriage to ? .

" everyone of you are married? don't you know it's good to have multiple women " he laughed at his own joke as if it was the funniest.

Making all of them cringe at him .

They didn't find the joke funny at all .

" Oh ,it's forbidden in our side. but mwami yangu is still unmarried " Falaji's voice was heard as his lazy gaze scanned everyone in the room.

5 of them turned to him .He just watched at the red wine . As his lazy eyes watched everyone of the royal family .

" what's mwam...mwaami ya ..whatever " as they watched Falaji ,the king disturbed them .

" my king,that's how we address our kings sizwe " they all bowed towards Sizwe .

Which was an eye sore in King Charles' eyes . considering the fact that they didn't bow to him .

" aren't each one of you King of your lands? " . The queen couldn't help but ask .

" it's different ,we are leaders in our tribes ,which is different to being a king. Being a king means you rule over all of us " . Baraka replied.

King Charles' eyes shone in amazement. He imagined rulling over everyone. That must be good .

' no wonder he's so arrogant .'
