Chereads / The Kalahari Kingdom / Chapter 4 - Retaining her throne

Chapter 4 - Retaining her throne

SCENE: EIGHTEEN

THE DOWNFALL OF THE KING

King Richard never knew that his right

hand man Simon was working with King

Nareen. King Nareen Never trusted

Richard so he asked Simon to keep an

eye on what is happening in the Eagles

kingdom

King Nareen: what's up? Has your king

managed to carry on with his task?

Simon: Truly speaking. You're being

deceived.

King Nareen: People know what I'm

capable of so they wouldn't dare deceive

me.

Simon: You are Deceived by King Richard

of course.

King Nareen: I knew I shouldn't trust

him, what has he done this time?

Simon: Something serious, he lied to you

about his use of the Kalahari kingdom

for cocoa farms, not mentioning to you

that he is planning to open a diamond

mine!

King Nareen: you mean there's diamond

in that kingdom. Why would he lie to

me. For what exactly, I've worked with

him for more than 30 years but our

relationship means nothing to him. He

only comes to me when in need of

something.

Simon: That's how he is. he cares for no

one but himself, he thinks this world

revolves around his head. He doesn't

have any respect for me and my family. I

even have to beg him whenever its

payment time.

King Nareen: how much does he pay

you? I mean by this time you're

supposed to be fully independent when

it comes to money.

Simon: $30000, weird right. Everytime I

ask for more he threatens me and talks

about how useless I am.

King Nareen: Well I surely can triple that.

Do you mind fully working with me? I

mean you don't deserve being treated

like trash and on my side I'll treat you

right Simon, you're intelligent and I'm

sure you can be of a greater use to me,

forget about King Richards his days are

numbers after all.

Simon: What do you mean "His days are

numbered"?

King Nareen: no one messes with me

and gets away with it Simon, I'll kill him

and take over his kingdom. Simon:

what about Prince Jaden?

King Nareen: you mean that weak spoilt

brat?

Simon: ohh, yeah I wouldn't decline, that

boy is intimidated by the riches of his

father.

King Nareen: All of that will be over by

the end of this week. Watch and see

what I'm capable of.

SCENE: NINETEEN KARMA!

Sunday morning, King Richard is shot

dead. Well It's said that our action

catches up with us in some way, what

you do today shall affect your future,

and what you do to others will surely

come back to you without any doubt.

The laws of the universe work in

mysterious ways, we live by today not

knowing of tomorrow. Do to others what

you would love them to do to you!

Prince Jaden: My father is dead

Shaniqua. I don't even know who shot

him, he had many enemies and I'm

afraid they might come for me.

Shaniqua: (worried) I wanted him to pay

for his sins, but not by death. What's

going to happen now?

Prince Jaden: I'll have to take over now.

(Simon showed up)

Simon: well you should just forget of

taking over Jaden, for this kingdom

doesn't belong to you anymore.

Prince Jaden: what do you mean by

that?

Simon: your father was owing One of the

Asian kingdoms a lot of money that he

wouldn't even pay in 10 years time so

they're taking over.

Prince Jaden: that sounds like a lie, my

father never played when it came to

money he wouldn't be in unmanageable

debts!

Simon: remember your father never had

the military equipment, he borrowed the

Asian ones.

(King Nareen showed up)

King Nareen: yep this Kingdom belongs

to me. I want you out of here by the end

of this week.

Prince Jaden: I'm going nowhere. This is

my home, where do you want me to go

when you're kicking me out of my

home?

King Nareen: well boy It's not my

problem that your father never taught

you how to take responsibility.

Shaniqua: what about us now? Are we

odd to go back?

King Nareen: I think so, after all that

kingdom of yours is useless, and I've

heard it has never stopped raining since

you left. You people might bring me a

bunch of bad luck so I think you should

leave.

(Shaniqua was extremely happy. She got

in the Cell chambers and told his people

about the return to their village, they

were all happy. Except for Amber, she

never wanted to be ruled by Shaniqua,

she knew deep inside that there's

nothing she can do about that now. The

next morning everyone was all ready to

leave. But before that Shaniqua wanted

to talk to Prince Jaden first)

Shaniqua: (sad) now tell me what's your

plan? I mean what are you going to do.

Prince Jaden: Well Shaniqua I think I'll

move to the united states.

Shaniqua: I want you to come with me!

Prince Jaden: What? I'm no longer a

prince Shaniqua and I don't wanna be a

burden to you. Again your people will

never accept me.

Shaniqua: I never fell in love with the

Prince I fell in love with the true you, and

I've told you that my people are of unity,

they'll forgive you, I mean your fathers

deeds. I want you to be the king of my

kingdom.

Prince Jaden: Did I just hear you talk

about love?

Shaniqua: (laughing) well I'll never

repeat what I've said.

Prince Jaden: Yes I accept going with

you, let me take my things and we'll be

all gone.

SCENE: TWENTY

THE RETURN

(Everyone was all ready to return to

their homes, when they go there the

land was wet, but after a few days the

rain was all gone. And everything got

back to normal)

Gaddafi: So we are going to be ruled by a

foreigner?

Shaniqua: Gaddafi, a foreigner is better

than a deceiver, you never cared for our

people. You don't have the privilege of

ruling them. I forgive you Gaddafi, but

for now please return to your girlfriend

Amber.

(That moment Gaddafi felt like it's the

end of the world as he knew deep inside

that he still loves Shaniqua. And now the

trust is all broken even if he tells her it

will all seem like a joke. The fact is never

make conclusions with mixed feelings

and desires are only desires when it

comes to love, being true to yourself is

something you should always bear in

mind. As for Amber her selfishness led

her to death, she never coped knowing

that her dreams will never come to pass,

it is said that she died of a heart attack.

From there Jaden and Shaniqua ruled

the kingdom together. They opened the

Diamond mine and because even richer,

they spent their money on improving the

education of the villagers and the

economy, soon enough the Kalahari

Kingdom was turned in to a city and

people lived happily ever after.)
