King Tunji The Tyrant and Kola's guard code of honor...chapter two

King Tunji laid in his king-sized mattress made with the finest animal skin in the entire village, with his wife beside him stroking his bald head gently and him smiling satisfactorily.

"Did you see his face, when I told him I was going to have his wife if he made me call on him for too long again?", King Tunji asked proud of the way his words sounded in his eyes.

"Of course i did", Queen Simisola said smiling, she was the second wife of the King, his first had passed away from an unnatural illness. He had had to pick a new wife, his first choice, Damilola, had reject him consistently, and so he had had to settle for the next best thing. Simisola once was Damilola's closest friend, before she became the King's wife which was the cause of the rift in their friendship. Damilola had already been betrothed to the commander, but still the King would not care enough to look at someone else, so Simisola pulled every move she had in her book, she even went as far as entering the palace to seduce the King, which she succeeded in doing. Ever since that day, she was always known as Obinrin agabagebe.

"Do you think he will do as I command?", the king asked worried that he had pushed too far this time. 

"My king, you shouldn't worry, I have known Kola from childhood, he will never go against the wishes of the King and he would not want to be the one to sully his family's name by doing so." she said happy at the thought of Damilola in great anguish and pain, having to choose between her people and her husband. 

"What about Damilola?", the king asked once again

"What about her?", she asked with a frown on her face, she hated that the King still wanted Damilola as his wife.

"She is a violent woman", he said concerned about the way she would take it. 

"Damilola is just all bark and no bite, she often boasts of her lineage like it was a gold mine when it's nothing special to begin with, it is about time to put her in her place." Simisola said calming turning her husband's face to hers, so they could have eye contact.

"Don't tell me you are not man enough to handle her, my king?",

"What do you mean by that?, I am more than capable to take what I want, when I want to or haven't I been doing that all this time?", the king yelled furiously. 

"Calm down my darling, I know you are strong, that is why I side with you one hundred percent, besides every strong man deserves a strong woman too." she said trying to soothe him.

The king calmed down on hearing her words of praise, "But I still worry, will the people not rebel against my orders this time around, because I will be executing their beloved hero of the Kingdom ".

"My king, you are the hero of this Kingdom, Kola is just an ordinary man and if anyone chooses to go against you, they also choose to go against the kingdom, you may as well execute them on the spot", Simisola said and continued stroking his head.

"I see", the king said drifting off to sleep like a child in his mother's arms, Simisola sat grinning widely, she had gotten her way once again.
