In the deepest darkest pits of his hateful heart the Chief of Justice made a slight smirk towards the challenger and he then permitted him to play the video evidence, Jacob paused analyzing the decision to a point the whole court room witnessed his moment of lapse and could only wonder what tripped him from his high horse. The lawyer picked himself up and played the video evidence, while the minister could only laugh in shock and disbelief took all reason from his mind as he sat down hopelessly. The video clearly showed that the minister and a few other colleagues were at a fast food restaurant with school girls whose identities were blurred out except that of young Legae Thute, who was seen to have intimate physical contact with the man. Voices of the murmur began to grow loud in the court house and in that moment the judge did not silence the court or blink for a single instant with his gaze set like a lighthouse on the lawyer, Jacob spoke "Your honor as you can see heee..." was cut short by a thundering command from the judge's seat "SILENCE!!!" and everyone was silent in the court room. Romeo took a glass of water and he slowly drank it, in all that time his gaze did not leave its mark casting a weighty shadow on the lawyer who dared to dream of toppling him. Fear permeated from within the skin of the man who stood below the one who sat above, the tension only served to worsen the ministers anxiety. His fuse burnt up and the man let out a dying cry, "Enough! i.... have had enough of these games and torture you've concocted, I'll tell you what kind of man i am.....i can't help it....i...i know its wrong but i really cant help myself, and i hate myself for it all. I could not outlive the shadow of my wife's betrayal and now i live out my days chasing that scent of pure love. Every time i looked at them i saw her face, the face of the person i gave everything to and it destroyed me, that's why i fled. I really am sorry Legae and every one else that i have hurt" A heartfelt cry that left the old man sobbing and great sorrow could be felt from his breaking shoulders, but in all that the judge still kept his gaze on the lawyer. He hit the wooden hammer with all his force and might declaring the end of a marathon for the notorious Minister of Tourism also known as the tender touch, and the wooden hammer broke off.
Rose observed the whole fiasco and marveled at the theatrics displayed by the chief of justice and she smiled, just before he left Romeo stole a glance of Rose who smiled at all that was happening and for a moment he seemed to have stopped for a while as his were thoughts totally eclipsed by the sight of his high school crush. In his eyes her beauty was without comprehension and he Romeo had always seen her as his Juliet but could never seem to grasp the door to her heart. Jacob caught this sight of a chink in the amor and just as he thought maybe it could be, he felt the killing intent coming from the Chief of Justice who read him like a book as he left the court room. The judge rushed to leave the High court building to escape the wrath of his family, he stopped at Masa Square to eat lunch and then thought as he made a call, "Hey, we should meet at Masa Square if you are interested in working with me, i am waiting right now." he ends the call immediately. Then he remembered there was a cockroach he needs to deal with and so he made another call, "Hey Nicholas i need a favor catching a rat in the city, are you available?" and the male voice on the other end responded "Off cause i am coming, i am not missing a meeting of the terror square." Romeo chuckled at the response and added "Noo! no we are not meeting, it will only be me and you. "Ten this evening, don't be late." Romeo concluded the call as he saw Rose walking into the plaza. "You really have to start being honest with yourself Romeo, just admit you 'have any friends to play with and maybe ill consider it." She emphasized but this is not what Romeo is yearning for and so he flashes a gentle smile to her. As she sat from across him her perfume diffused into his nose and he kept his eyes on hers, the deep coffee brown of his stared into the vast sky blue of hers. The embers of Golden Brow could be heard from the restaurant across making it a rare magical moment for the man, "What?" Rose inquired as he noticed him to be starring more than usual, and that snapped him back to reality as he announced to her "lets get down to business."
He sighed before questioning the woman, "Rose what are your ties to the king, i cant seem to put my finger on why he would overly exert his influence just to make sure he knows each and every move you make." and such words were the triggers of her trauma. Romeo could see it clear as day, the pain deeply engraved in her soul as her eyes trembled looking down as she sat in silence, Rose then muttered under her breath, "You really dug up everything on me! Trust me some things are better off just buried away, that man is not human....he only looks like one but he is.....he is a creature of inexplicable malevolence." but the man stood there unshaken by her warning and his conviction persuaded her to speak about their dark past. "Everything begins when i start grade 8 at the community Junior Secondary School in my home town, back then i only aspired to be a top student completely ignorant to the dark shades of this world we live in. I was very early for school that day and all eighth graders had no designated classes yet and so i waited at the school hall, that is when i saw him for the very first time. A senior playing football in the school hall, and when they finished he came straight up to me and asked for my name" at this point the cringe was killing Romeo but this was the poison he asked for. Rose saw the towering senior who was drenched of his own sweat asking for her name and it was the aroma of his fragrance that spoke first in her chest as it gathered throughout her lungs and she simply could not forget as she gave her name, "Rose! that's my name" but the boy straight up walked away from her after that and not a single word was heard from him ever again that is until. Two weeks later, he started showing up to her class during lunch time and in all that time he wouldn't speak to her. At first it was weird for Rose who had no idea who that guy is but then another guy started showing up to her class and flirting all over her, the anger was visibly growing on the boy's face and still no one knew why he was there. It was on a certain day two weeks after the other boy started showing up, the senior beat him black and blue till he could only be hospitalized and then he was suspended for twenty one days. Rose was not safe from the theories and opinions of onlookers, she was labeled as a slut and yet she was innocent in all this.
It was after the passing of twenty one days that Rose found a secret letter under her desk, "I am sorry Rose! from Dominic" and she knew from reading it that it was from her mysterious stalker, he came to her class that afternoon and they had lunch together finally having a normal conversation. Talking led them to dating and so for a time they were happy, even taking leisure in adult activities, but this would be their folly. Everything changed when Rose fell pregnant, "what do you mean you haven't had your period in two months?" Dominic questioned his beloved. "It means I'm pregnant Dominic!" she answered him but Dominic stared silently holding back his tears, Rose assumed he was overjoyed and shocked but Dominic simply left her there in the school corridor. Rose did not know what to do or who to tell but then realized if she was going to keep it she needed the approval of an elder. Her aunt at first was not thrilled but reminiscing about her own marriage that had not bour any fruit she decided to support Rose in her decision but the counselled her regarding Dominic, "Don't lose hope in him yet, he is only a high school student so it will take him a bit longer to accept the consequences of this choice." Then after a while Dominic suddenly came back, he was different. His face was full of joy and yet he was full of mystery and darkness. Dominic did not say much about his family until then, "I want you to come over to my father's house before you go into labour, He wants to meet you." Rose couldn't be happier seeing that she had the support of two families. Rose was in shock upon seeing that Dominic was not only related to the royal family but he was a direct heir, the first son of the king. The king did not meet her until late, she was brought deep into the mountain and there she saw a small mud hut, "Man may venture far and wide but without their roots all dreams wilt and all roads lead back to emptiness, i am happy that i can see the mother of my grandson before i passed." A strange man spoke standing near the hut, Rose noticed how the servants bowed in reverence thus understood that was the current King 'Tau Khama' and immediately she bowed her head but the man stopped her. "Come closer my child, my eyes are not as good as they were decades ago" as she got closer she beholden the man who had singlehandedly ended the Bantu war's leading to an era of peace in the southern African part of the continent. His eyes were completely white and covered with slash marks, but he could clearly see where she stood and who she was. "My son very lucky to have stumbled upon you, your radiance is like that of a burning charcoal, beautiful and brilliant all at once. I have brought you to ask if you are interested in taking our family name, its unceremonious for royals to be born under a different name." Rose was a child and nothing could make a girl her age happier than becoming the crown princess and her answer was straight forward but her fate was already set by another. The mountain grew dangerously cold for her and so the King invited her into his hut.
This hut was like a temple, reeking of blood and rotting flash which triggered the pregnant girl. The old man seeing her struggle to take breaths took up a herb he was hanging to dry and gave it to her, Rose suddenly felt her lungs open up and the disgusting smell finally gone. In that moment her eyes began to open up and she saw that the hut was bigger and it had suddenly become darker but in the darkness stood figures of men who cast shadows darker than night, her heart jumped at this and she wondered if the herb was a drug and the old man answered as if reading her thoughts, "Its not a drug, it is a lynophem leaf. I don't wanna bore you with details but we need you to deliver the prince of promise here in this hut." Rose attempted to run away but the hut suddenly had no exit with darkness spanning deeper than any light could go. "Lay on your back!" the old man used his authority to force her down, Rose was greatly afraid upon seeing herself moved by a mysterious force. In that moment the figures in darkness began to cut up her womb with dark talons and her cries were ear recking as she pleaded in pain, there the king pulled out a healthy baby boy with pale white skin and silver straight hair, the old man was happy but then he noticed that the woman was still in labour and she then delivered a healthy baby girl and all who were there stared in astonishment as the king held up the two children. The girl was also an albino having similar features to her brother, Rose was tired and losing consciousness due to blood loss. She heard the king speak, "The king of promise and the princess royal born to our house today shall lift up the house of Bechuanaland from a kingdom to an empire, he shall truly be a monarch of unparallel power and his sister at his side will be a source of great support." and Rose lost all sense. Rose came to sense seeing an IV drip set up on her right and the scriblings of a nurse woke her ears, "My children!, where are my children?" the teenage mother cried out, the nurse left all her papers and rushed to keep the girl calm as she explained "Please Miss Kylie calm down, your son is under surveillance but everything is fine." The nurse didn't say anything about her daughter which worried the girl. "Where is my daughter?" she commanded the nurse and in that moment a spark of authority took charge of the nurse temporarily causing her to divulge all information. "Your daughter is under intensive care, ever since she got here her readings have been unsatisfactory. The head doctors fear she will not live to see the end of the day." Rose fell into despair for a short second but commanded the nurse to take her to see her daughter, but the nurse was not under her spell anymore and responded "We cant let you go anywhere Rose, you yourself are in a worser condition than your daughter. We ran tests on you and we don't think you will ever be a mother again moreover the loss of blood caused a severe stroke to your heart, if you see the condition of your daughter you might die before her." Rose cried and pleaded the nurse "If my daughter dies without a name i will never forgive you!" and so the nurse took her there. Seeing the baby stripped into multiple needles and tubes broke her heart but she held on to her strength that she may name her. She held the hand of her daughter and named her "Isabella Mhiriya Kylie is your name, my precious daughter." She held on to her until the very last breath, and Rose did not cry over her loss. She had long lost the will to cry, "From then i never made contact with the royal family, they were quiet until yesterday." Rose explained the Chief of Justice.
