Knighted Again – Ch.6 | KT OLLA

WHEN Es & Em’s manager seemed not to get their situation, she asked at last.

‘Is there anything wrong with the parcel, Vickie? Does it come from someone you don’t like?’

The words jolted the lady back to life. She was a strong, confident woman, but that piece of harassment didn’t meet her well.

So when Vickie talked up at long last, even Nile doffed a hat for her.

‘It’s nothing that serious,’ she said. ‘I think I just discovered I don’t like purple and violet… and blue, and white!’

Both listeners turned to note the colours in the flowers.

‘But they’re very cool colours, my dear!’ Samba was amazed at Vickie’s reason.

‘That combination of colours, ma’am! I suddenly dislike them.’

Vickie’s words made the older lady stand up straight. She gazed at the stout looking queen and knew she shouldn’t pester more.

So she was less surprised when the girl said this, smiling:

‘You can dispose the thing quietly. We shouldn’t let news be talking flowers like it’s music. Or what d’ you think?’

Samba acquiesced. ‘Oh yeah, I get it.’

Vickie Williams went that whole length with the flowers and the note, but it wasn’t for her safety or health that she cared so much.

It was rather for her lifelong crush. It was for Nile that she hid things.

So that moment, their manager deferred telling them about the call.

She moved to pack the trash instead and get their van. Then Nile found his phone and something more.

‘Hey Ms George, did I by chance leave my phone with you?’

‘Yes you did, both of you. And here you go, dear.’

Samba gave them their phones and left. She’d kept their call devices.

But now as Nile sat back and turned it on, he got a text message from an unknown sender.

The message went in 3 words, Be my man—yet there was no name.

He deleted it at once as he thought his girl might misunderstand.

He never thought the birds of prey wanted this.

Sons of the Flaming Throne 2 – Ch. 20 | KT OLLA

DAVID had been reigning for about forty years already. And in those years of his reign in Israel, soldiers have stood and fallen for him. The warlord had conquered lands, conquered nations. He’d taken territories, subdued enemies. Yet as the monarch grew older and nations bowed to him, there remained no wars to fight; and so his valiant men had nothing doing. His soldiers settled in families and kept livestock. They became shepherds and keepers of vines. The great ones among them got involved in public duties and administration. Still, there were a few who didn’t change with the changing tide. And chief among them was Joab, commander of the army. No, it wasn’t that the man didn’t settle down with family or other civil matters. But Joab wasn’t quite settled enough when it came to his heart and attitude. The old man had been quite loyal to David through the long years. But ever since the time that wars were done with, he had lost his sense of purpose. Joab wasn’t all that interested in n...

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...

Sons Of The Flaming Throne – Ch.50 (Final Episode) | KT OLLA

PRINCE S’alom was beaten once; and then a second time. It was by two things that baffle the mind. For not only was he shocked that his men kept running for their lives. As they fled when they were chased past; and he wished they could stop to help. But now he was even more dazed when he saw that his father’s men left him hanging. He realized that those boys weren’t sent to kill him. Yes, the Third One knew this from the start. That if David had wanted him dead, he’d have been long dead and buried. Now it was clear that he’d been taking advantage of the just man’s goodwill. And this he knew himself. The prince faced this truth; so it knocked him off that David was still being kind. No, he’d so taken things for granted. Therefore, it happened that one of the chasers who ran past returned to find Joab when he saw the prince hanging. He told the captain what he saw and assured him the prince wasn’t dead. Now when the general saw that the boy didn’t kill him, he went all mad and furious. ‘W...
