Chapter 7

I woke up so did Vandy, we got fresh and walked out of my room, we went straight to the dining hall because the nightly rendezvous had depleted our energy and we both were very hungry. As we walked I saw Vandy walking with her thighs wide, I looked at her she smiled shyly and said she is too sore down there I chuckled. The dining hall was empty I yelled is anybody there, I heard footsteps and the same beautiful girl I saw yesterday entered the hall. The girl bowed, I asked her name she said my king I am called Shiny the daughter of Pota, I said ok shiny where were my wives, Shiny replied they wait for you and the Queen Vandy in the kitchen my king. I asked her to take us there and Vandy and I followed her in the kitchen, the girls laughed at the way Vandy walked and Vandy turned beet red, I said don't laugh at Vandy soon they will be walking the same way they all laughed louder, sometime them girls could be incorrigible. As we seated ourselves, the girls started whispering to Vandy and had fun at Vandy's expense, soon they were engaged in friendly banter and I saw two more topless young females who were busy serving our Breakfast, after breakfast of some herbal tea, bread and some sweet syrup. I told the girls that they would never address me as their King and I prefer us to be on first name basis to which they all nodded their heads in agreement. I headed to the throne hall and my wives followed. In the hall, I saw kiddo the tigress, silky the lioness and baby the bear had taken their places on both sides of the throne. The entire populace of the city present in the hall they must be around 200 people prostrated on the floor before me, I asked them to get up they all got up as I and the wives sat on the thrones my pets growled their greetings I patted their heads and they sat back in their positions by the throne.

I stood up and addressed the people, I said, my people from now on you are not bow in front of me or the Queens because the respect does not come with the title, it comes by deeds which I have yet to do. If you people of "Samaru" want to show your respect then show it through your deeds, work hard, return the city to its former glory, and bring prosperity to the lands. I know it is an uphill task but together we would do it. I called Pota forward and said Pota I want you to make arrangements for shelter for each of my pets, Pota signaled a man and asked to do the bidding, I then asked Pota to give me a young man who is worthy of my trust and who would be always at my back and call. Pota called a man forward and presented him to me Pota said my king I give you my son Zora, you can depend on him. I called Zora forward and asked Zora that how many carts the city had Zora answered that they had some twenty carts but no animal to pull them I ordered Zora to select fifteen sturdy carts and forty strong men armed and meet me at the entrance in an hour, Zora said your wish my command my king and left. I called for Nita; she stood up and said yes Manu. I told her that I am going to strip down the boat of everything that is important or of any use. Nita said it was a wise decision, I smiled, I told Nita that while I am gone, she was to prepare a list of names of every single person living in this city and their credentials and for this Pota is at your disposal, Nita replied it will be done Manu. I asked Pota to get my mare Widny saddled, Pota signaled another man to come forward and introduced him, Pota said that the man was called Kato my king. He managed the horses for the city until the last one died and from now on, he would look after Windy my king, I nodded. I asked Sue to accompany me on this tour as she would be bringing all the girls stuff from the boat, Vini protested and said Manu, Sue was needed more here, she would offer better security with gun. I saw merit in her point but then I turned the question on her that who would she suggest that I take her with me? All the girls looked at each other and Vini said Nita would go with you, I countered her that Nita is equally good with guns then why Nita? I should have known when to keep my bloody mouth shut, the looks I got from them made me want to bury myself somewhere them girls never reach. I surrendered and a big smile flashed on Nita's face, so we decided that Nita would accompany me. I had a strong feeling that these nymphs of my mine had conspired something against me however, the convoy was ready then Pota said he has a suggestion to make would the king kindly listen, I nodded, Pota said that it would be unwise if Queen Nita goes alone without a female assistant to which I agreed. Pota suggested that his youngest daughter Shiny would be the most able assistant to Queen Nita; Shiny was already in service of the palace. I remembered that delectable and voluptuous female. I agreed to the suggestion, I left the throne room and went to my room, once in my room I started to wear my weapons and after I was through, I went down and there Nita was waiting for me along with Shiny. I saw Windy all decked up in shining saddle and the men with shining swords and spears, they looked stout but I knew they were under nourished. I mounted Windy and she became frisky, I patted her neck to calm her down she relaxed under my touch, Nita and Shiny climbed one of the carts. I rode up to the column of the guards and in came my pets Silky, Kiddo, Misty and Baby, two on both sides I ordered Misty and Baby to remain behind to guard my wives they both sniveled and grunted but went up to the stairs of the palace. I called Pota, he came forward I told him to guard the city in my absence. I left the city as per my watch we reached the boat in three hours, it was almost 12 noon, the carts were lined up, the people was amazed to see the boat as they had never seen this big one before all they had seen was small fishing boats in the river behind the city. I ordered Zora to place ten guards around the boats, my pets stood guard by the side of the rock and Windy tied to a tree nearby. We all climbed the rock to get to the lower deck, I took two men to the wheel room and took out the tools from the drawers and cabinet, I selected some sets of spanners, ranch, and then climbed at the roof of the wheelhouse. I instructed the two men by showing them how to dismantle the solar panels, the men were intelligent and they soon got the hang of the things, they started dismantling the solar panels. I then got down to the wheelhouse and switched off the solar power supply to the boat, and went to the engine room below and started the generator but cut out the power supply to the boat except to the deepfreeze in the pantry. I went to my cabin, brought out two fishing rods and got the bait from the kitchen then I called two men to accompany me to the lagoon. The men followed me and when they came to my intentions, they spooked out, I asked the reason they told me since the bad times came the wise men said the lagoon is poisoned and devil lives in it. I got pissed, I ordered them to abide by me or face my wrath, I told them to catch as many fish they can I also demonstrated them how to use the modern fishing rods. I left them catching fish and called for two more men from the boat, when they came I asked them to pluck as many coconuts from the trees they can their reaction was the same as the earlier ones. I had to show them my anger to get them working, satisfied I returned to the deck and saw Nita and Shiny busy packing the girls stuff in the bags I told Nita to clean up my cabin last she nodded. I took Zora to the Pantry and asked him to supervise that everything was loaded in a cart except the deepfreeze, Zora was surprised to see so much food at one place. I called two men, gave them screwdrivers and instructed them how to unscrew the lights, and asked them to unscrew every light on the boat and collect them at one place the men understood and started the work.
