Knighted Again – Ch.17 | KT OLLA

ZADEQUE was a kid that his father didn’t know he had. Yet from the day he found him and claimed him, he began to pitch him against his brother.

The kid was born to him from an affair the king had with a woman. It was when he desperately sought for a boy from his queen.

The secret love didn’t last a time when the woman fled. She fled when she realized she was pregnant. For the queen haunted her to death.

Zadeque’s mother went hidden through her pregnancy. But she died at her delivery when she gave birth to her baby boy.

So the baby’s grandmother took him and nursed him. He hid him till she would die.

Therefore the first son of the king lived hidden from the kingdom’s awareness. And in the meantime the palace had a boy. He was Maqwela.

Now when Zadeque’s grandma was about to die, she sent a letter to the king that he’d got a son. As she wouldn’t fear death, let alone the king.

This way, an unknown prince showed up in a palace way too obsessed with crown prince-hood. Then Chaka-Hulu pitched the fight between the two sons he’d got.

But then again, Zadeque cared so less about the throne. He just wanted to meet his father and live with him.

He also craved the outside world.

Yes, the new prince wanted to live free. Whatever the identity he got, he just only wanted freedom.

Still the opposite was what happened to the young kid. The king never showed him to the public. He kept his identity secret in all Cape Islands.

Prince Zadeque was given access to everything Chaka-Hulu. He was bestowed the rights accorded an heir, yet he wasn’t publicly revealed as one.

And Maqwela only met the public, not him.

Now Maqwela had been raised with the purpose of taking his father’s place when the king passed on. As he’d been Chaka-Hulu’s only son.

But when his brother appeared, the young lad didn’t think to save his place from the new boy. He was just glad he found company.

Even so, when the father pitched the clamour for his throne, Maqwela went from playing soft to playing hard, and then he’d go forth and back several times.

This was because Zadeque, too, was fighting fierce. And then, he’d relent, feeling really bad.

Then he’d pick up again, chasing him. And on and off he went in that struggle.

So, the two princes wrestled hard then played soft. They battled themselves then came together to cry.

They grew that way till they became men.

Knighted Again – Ch.13 | KT OLLA

MAQWELA caught the smile on Nile’s face as he turned back to him. He knew why the boy smiled, yet he liked him more. Those were some things of innocence that he missed. The king liked people who wouldn’t cower when he used power. Unlike how he’d tremble as a boy when his late father abused the right. Yes, he liked folks who still retained their peace as they grew. Like those cute youngsters listening to him. So the monarch resumed, but he preferred to go the earnest way. ‘Now like I said earlier, that nobody enters here except Maqwela passes them – you must also know that nobody hears the things I’ll be speaking now unless we tell them! ‘Now I know you’re smart enough to know what I said – and what I left unsaid!’ The duo braced up and gestured with a nod. They knew the weight of that sentence and were ready to keep the monarch’s secret. They knew they were about to hear a blast. And so they braced up for it. Right then the middle-aged heaved a deep breath, crossed his arms over his ch...

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 9 | KT OLLA

ABISHUM wasn’t done speaking. So she picked up on the matter as things were bound to change. She spoke: ‘See, it was a bedroom cry for Aleph. But not until the day things were shoved in her face… ‘And that day she gave up on hoping! ‘Well, what Aleph thought was the reason why Beth couldn’t marry, was different from what it was with people. ‘She used to think it was because there was no man in her house to ask the daughter from. As is our customary practice in Israel.  ‘But when a drunken man shoved it in her face one night, it hurt her too much what people say. ‘“No one will marry your daughter, woman! Why will anyone do? When death hides in her bosom like it hid in yours. Or why did your husband die? ‘“Look, if you don’t know it – your family is cursed! You only have one child in a nation of plenty. ‘“God has prospered Israel with many children like the sea sand. But what do your family bear? Only one! ‘“So, who will want your cursed daughter for his son to love? You really don’t...

Wanted Here – Ch.23 | KT OLLA

BEAKERS broke and crashed on the ground. So the splinters went littering the laboratory. Still the one who caused the damage only stood and watched… And then she walked out of the place without looking back. It was as if the 28-year-old didn’t cared a moment. But she cared too much she cried a bucket. June Martinez had stepped in her laboratory right behind her home. It was a facility sitting on an acre of land that equally hosted their large villa. The property was both home and office to the brilliant couple. They had their villa furnished with everything comfort. Then they got two labs built into a structure behind it. With only a glass partition in-between. Carl did his work in one part of the structure, while June used the other part as her laboratory. Now it’d been quite a while June had wanted to return to her lab. She once only talked about getting back and wouldn’t dare to step a foot in the lab. Then months passed and she made more progress. She got to put on her coat to retu...
