He cleared his throat "That I mentioned the Minister of Finance's crime does not meant my lack of contempt for you, I saved you know to use you later. Do you know what that meant?" Rews asked the other five Chiefs who did nothing but stare in utmost hatred.
"What? Why are you giving me that callous look? I asked you a question and a moral rule says 'Talk when you're being talked to" he said again and they sighed.
"Why, what's your reason?" The Minister for Transport asked as he adjusted his stance.
"Good! I kept you for future use. I mean I salted out you crimes to be reported whenever I need something from his Majesty" he said and scoffed aloud.
They all cringed when they say some of the palace guards walking in their direction. Of which were often used in arresting anyone alleged for probing. They were related at the moment when they walked past them and then outside the gate.
"The King didn't trust you, he sent them to my house when I told him there more secrets to unravel and that I might not live to say then with the way you people look at me. He sent them to protect me" he said while laughing and walked away.
"What's going to happen with The Minister of Finance?" one of them asked.
"Nothing less, he would be dethroned!" Minister for Security said and walked away.
"He's smart! I never thought we were going into a trap when he pretended to be generous. He got our trust not knowing everything about was was his priority. I rememvered I told him the King allocated funds, capable of building five medical to Gry Town but I built two. That's part of what he purposed to use in future" Minister of Health said and they all rushed to the exit gate when they saw the guards preparing the Kings way to his record room. They predicted he was going to record what had happened and it's innovator.

"Hey! I suggest we kill him. Virtually everyone of us will be under the King's wrath if you are all outed" one of the Governors said in the private board meeting they were having.
"He's right. All Governors who worked under the Minister of Finance were casted into jail with him. Which means when you're reported as well (He said, pointing to his Chief. Who was the Minister Of Education) I, as well as my three subordinates will be jailed too" another Governor said.
"Well, you're right. But presently the King doesn't trust us. He fell for his pranks and gave him thirty soldiers, royal soldiers who can call for more once there is a fight. The King favours him presently so I think we should just wait"
"What if he attacked first?" a Governor asked in a rude way which involves cutting into a Chief's speech and quickly made a noticeable bow.
"Forgive me Master, I don't want to be jailed" he said, whimpering.
"Haven't you heard?" the Minister for Academy asked and they all chorused 'What'
"He's about to contest in the coming election and again, they chorued 'What'
"I heard the rumors and I think he's got the people's heart. Especially in the town he lives. He had lowered their tax and payed it in full. He had built a building for the homeless, gave out food and gave loans to farmers. The people brought his reports and now, the King is placing him higher than all his subjects" he said and sipped a cup of wine and broke it when he quaffed all it content.
"He's a... I can't see the word to qualify him. He's spent too much since he came in town and I think he's looking forward to gain more"
"How?" a minister asked.
"He revealed the Hajire's crime because he wanted his post. That's why he planned to contest. The King will give his full support, am sure about that. And if he would continue Hajire's investments, I don't think he'll makeup to the national treasure. He's going to fail" Huga said.
"I don't think so!" Kaderly exclaimed. "Recently the King ordererd us to remit 50% of all our allocated fund. What do you think he want to achieve with that. The only failed enterprise is the national purse which also requires more funding to grow again. Once Rews steps into power, he will be given much to begin with. And with such mind, I mean the mind with which he got us roped; he's not going to contest. There isn't going to be an election either. He will be ordained by the King himself" Xerti said and limped.
Date... Rews was placed on the dais and announced as the emerging Minister of Finance. He also compelled the Chief in to a saying which goes thus.
"A tyrant has emerged. He will lift the slanted flag of Bur Burry. He will restructure it shaped and renew it's glory. The Chief and Governors have decided to give in to his tenure and support him with everything we have, we have vowed to always remit funds for the development of this nation. To make him the Chief of Chiefs. We hope his Majesty says yes to this idea" the Minister of Agriculture who was threatened this time around with his inability to produce good farm produce and having decieved the King by getting it from oversea was asked to recite the script. Unknown to the other Chiefs and Governors, they all were statled as they lift up their eyes in expectancy. Hoping the King decline. But looking at the masses, chanting Yes!!! The King gave his Yes and hence, Rews rose to power and was rechristened and became the Chief of Chiefs, The Great Rews.
