The Conqueror Series

THE GREAT WARRIOR 13

The king of Getu fell on his kneels immediately and covered his face with both hands. Ube approached him and stood before him with his sword dripping blood. The king of Getu raised his head to look at him and all he could say was "please" Ube was not ready to be pleased and he immediately used the big bad sword to cut off his head, picked it with his left hand and began to walk out of the throne room. When he stepped out he raised the head of the king of Getu up in the air and the soldiers of Mozo began to chant and to raise their swords in the air I'm jubilation. Before long the soldiers of Mozo having been victorious decided to go home. The remaining soldiers of Getu were enslaved and bundled home. Ube was with the head of the king of Getu.

When they reach home the soldiers remained outside and it was only Ube who entered inside the building and stood before the king of Mozo. The elders of the land were there in the palace and the king of Mozo having realised that his own people had emerged victorious decided to stand and walked up to Ube, giving him a warm embrace. Ube dipped his hand into the bag he was carrying and brought out the head of the king of Getu and king of Mozo was moved to smile. He was happy that finally the king of Getu bowed before him. He was about to say a word when Ruth stepped out wearing a royal regalia. Ube did not know if he was seeing clearly or if the person before him was a ghost. He dropped the head on the floor and looked at Ruty and then to the king. He could not understand what was really happening and he was eager to know. He looked at the king questioningly and the king began to walk back to his throne. When he got to his throne he sat back on it and Ruty sat on his legs. The elders then sat and the wizard who had made Ruty to obey the king in everything remained standing beside the king. Ube began to walk closely to where the throne was but some of the palace guards stopped him by blocking his path with their spears. Ube remained standing and then the king made Ruty to stand before he himself stood and began to talk to Ube. "I know that you are surprised of what you are seeing but you see it is not my fault that it happened this way. They gods willed it and so it happened. I want you to know and to remind yourself of the oath you took the day you were made a general. You swore to be loyal to your king even if he demanded for your head and this has been the code in Mozo. You should know that this code equally applies to what you are witnessing now. Your wife is very beautiful and I could not resist her. I had to ask of her, knowing that you are in the battle field and she would be needing a companion. I am here to look after her and she is here to remain here. You can always find yourself another wife Ube and make yourself happy again. This wife of yours has not given birth to any child before so I see no reason why my taking her should be any problem" After the king was done Ube sighed heavily and looked around, at the faces of the elders before resting his look on Ruty. "Did you want to do this? Is this what you want? Have you decided to abandon me and to stay with my king? You who motivates me, you who makes me want to do the things I do, you who makes like meaningful to me?" After he was done Ruty then began to walk up to him and when she was before him she stood and pointed at his chest and said, "Yes to all your questions Ube. I want to stay with your king and if you are as loyal as you made everyone believe then you would not deprive your king whatever she asked of you"
