Chereads / THE MASKED DEVIL / Chapter 8 - Day Two

Chapter 8 - Day Two

One day just passed away,it remain some few hours left for the king to be dethroned. He knelt down and placed his head on the throne once again and prayed to his father that his one more days on the throne must not be a waste. The chiefs and elders marched into the palace with George on his luxurious suit attire. The king stood up immediately before they walked in. The king stood up and shouted

" what's it again ? , my day is still pending so why are you all here?"

Before the king could finish expressing his anger, they all bowed down to him and pleaded for forgiveness. When the king heard their cries, he felt so relieved and confused.

"What's the matter, why are y all here?" He asked

"My king, we never knew that the devil exist no more, you can now stay on the throne for your generations " they replied and remained in their pleading position.

"There should surely be a reason why you all came to me"he sits majestically on the throne and crossed his legs.

"Yes my Lord" ,elder Joseph brought his son out for him to explain what happened on his way to Eastender.

As Philip heard all their conversation about George peaceful journey in his room, his eyes became red to the extent that his anger led him to hit the table vas that was placed on his table with his bare hand. He walked down to their presence and said to them

"I'm sure the devil was not on duty last night, just make sure you don't step out of your house this night if You love your life. The devil ain't as dumb as you all are. Just because of he didn't show up yesterday doesn't mean he's dead . I'm warning you all because of the love I have for you. Watch before taking decision and know who you're dealing with. That's all I'm here to say."

He walked back to his room and shut his door closed with anger. They all looked lost for few seconds because of what Philip said. One of the elders ignored Philip words and said. Let him come, I'm sure he was afraid last night because of we were all awake last night. My Lord, the people are outside to ask for forgiveness, they want you to remain on the throne. The king walked outside to confirm if it was a joke or not. He looked down and saw the whole villagers bowing and pleading for forgiveness. They all kept shouting and echoing their voices , saying

" long live the king,long live the king....".

The king never thought nor dreamth that such miraculous moment can happen in this kind of situation. He felt so happy and relieved. The princess came out smiling. He walked towards his father and begged for what the said the other day. Everyone was filled with joy as the king decided throw a party in the palace for everyone in Eastender. This glorious moment made the queen hug and kiss the king king with all her lips,heart, body, soul and spirit. She said to the king

"I never knew I married a descendant of king Solomon. Today would forever be the happiest day of my life. Assuming you were being dethroned, I would have been so ashamed of myself cause I've been imagining myself living behind a raggy neighbor. And because of this my king, I owe you one this night."

"What do you mean by you owe me one?" He asked

"Let's wait and see my king".

The king got confused at that moment.

( I think the king is living in the world of confusion because he's always confused about one thing on the other.")
