" Trick them?" King Shaka asked more confused.
" We will hold a feast for them, at the party, the drinks served to the forestians should be poisoned. All the cups and jars meant for the forestians, should be marked for easy identification by us. After the party, we would get rid of their bodies. After wards, we will force their wives and children to serve us. Anyone who tries to rebel, his or her death will be inevitable.
" Brilliant! Brilliant!" King Shaka said, clapping his hands together. " You're indeed wise, the rumors were true. The gods have indeed blessed you with divine wisdom." king Shaka praised.
" It is a brilliant idea, but how will you convince them to attend the feast?"king Elick asked.
" I'm aware the forest tribe doesn't trust us, we will have to convinced them that we have change. we will have to make them believe that we want peace, unity and equality amongst the tribes. King Lamech replied.
Indeed, unity and equality amongst the tribes was all the forestians craved for.
" Lamech, you should be called the 'god of wisdom.' I'm impressed. you're indeed the wisest amongst all."
" I'm flattered King Shaka. I'm a mere human, I can't compare myself to the gods." King Lemech replied.
" I will send words through my royal adviser to the forestian King. I will invite him over for dinner tonight, while we're having dinner, I will convince him to attend the feast we're planning along side every male from age ten and above in his tribe. Leave it to me, convincing people is my gift."
" More like brainwashing people into doing what you want." King Elak muttered under his breath.
" I hope you succeed, King Shaka. You have my best wishes. Leave the drinks and poisoning to me. king Elick will handle the party arrangements. We can't afford to fail."
" Rest assured, king Lamech, we won't make a mistake." king Elick said.
" I hope we're all in this together, any form of betrayal, will be punishable by death!" King Shaka spoke with his eyes fixed on Elak.
King Elak sighed. " I hope it goes as you have planned, things could south leaving you at the loosing end. I've made myself clear earlier, I'm won't partake in your madness."
" I guess it is settled then, gentle men let's have a toast." King Shaka raised his golden cup as the others did likewise.
" Let's toast to a new era. More lands, slaves, more women to f***." King Shaka chuckled wickedly.
All the Kings drank and made merry expect king Elak. He wished he could help, but going against his brothers was like signing a suicide contact. He was helpless.
Few hours later, King Lemech, Elak and Elick left king's shaka's palace. King Shaka sat on his throne his eyes were fixed on the exist door.
" I don't trust him." He whispered
" Who, milord?" Derek asked.
" The islander's King."
" king Elak?".
" Yes! I want him taken care of."
" consider it done milord."
" Send words to the forest King, tell him he has been invited to dine with the king of Sheba tonight, and Make sure you take gifts along."
" Yes milord." Derek made a slight bow before walking out of the throne room.
king Shaka raised his mouth in a smirk.
" This will be interesting." He whispered.
