But I am only sixteen, your Highness.
Shut up and get out of here. Go to your room at once!
Yes your Highness.
These little things. Just because I sleep with them, they think they have mouth to talk back at me. Nonsense!
If not that man must do what he has to do. Is Mola my fourth child not way older than you.
I will catch you another day!
Dada, is the council of elders ready?
Yes your Highness, they are seated and waiting.
Alright.
(The royalty moves into the chamber of councils).
We salute your Highness!!
Thank you my council.
Your Highness, we have made donations to your account, a good sum, actually in dollars. To help saturate the embarrassment we have caused you this period.
Please be patient with us. It will soon be over. You know it’s for the greater good of our highest course.
I am not perplexed my council. Thank you for the donations, meanwhile.
What are those strange noises I am hearing outside? Send them away. I hate to hear those voices!!
Haa! No, your Highness. They are members of the South who have come to sympathize with you.
We need them to take good words home for us, so you can get more friends from the other side.
Oh, that’s right. Show them pictures of the tattered building I have been banished to.
Yes, we have done that your highness; they are already weeping on your behalf.
Where is Vuda? I need to take a vacation out of this dungeon called country. Book my flight and make all necessary arrangements.
Haa! Your Highness, you will have to manage our madness for now. We can’t put you at the risk of traveling.
That thing called corona is still wreaking havoc! The virus is not ready to calm down yet.
You will stay with us, your highness. We will get a very nice place for you here.
Hmmm, ok. May the gods break the neck of that coronavirus, for preventing us from accessing normal human life.
Amen!!!
Call the press, let me address the strangers from the South.
My fellow Citizens, thank you for sympathizing with me. Be rest assured that I will continue to do the good works I have been chosen to do. Yes, it may not go down well with some persons, but we must liberate the north!
We have all it takes to get people out of poverty, why is the poverty rate highest here?
Why are the children not in school? Oh, it’s ok to ask parents to send their children to school, but it’s not ok to ask government to build that school.
Children and teenagers are forced into marriages they are not ready for. Fellow Citizens, this practice must stop!
The Southerners shout Yea!!!!!!!! May your reign continue to speak truth!!!
The End.
What are your stakes in these matters?
