"Everyone can we please just let Zanele explain? It's kind of important."
As I tried to mediate, the members of my harem expressed their displeasure. But they eventually relented and stayed quiet. It was during times like this that I felt the authority of my position. It wasn't grand like being tyrannical and all that. It was much simpler.
A king whom no one listened to was no king. Fantasy stories often had a trope. You could spot a false leader by how others treated him as a puppet or a fool. And that could only be done one way. For someone to receive a post with no power.
The worst way to disrespect someone was to ignore them. And to leaders who were supposed to be the ones calling the shots, it was like denying who they were. The girls all once said that I was the head of the family. And they showed me this resolve.
