The Return of General Williams 315. The Installation
The Duke paused his goodwill message and looked at the big screen like the others. The film began when the elders, especially Elder Kefas, claimed that the building belonged to their brother.Such a claim did not go down well with the citizens because they were aware that they were sworn enemies."Your brother indeed," some murmured.It also showed how a fearful-looking woman was crawling and begging for her husband's corpse. "Hey!" They screamed when the building collapsed and someone screamed.They continued watching, and one of the Duchesses, who had been silent, spoke to her husband, "They did not even bother to take him to the hospital.""You are right. They are asking for his corpse because they are aware that they killed him," another person added."Can you imagine that? They were just waiting for him to die," another duchess said."And after his precious stone.""Hey!" The audience screamed when Elder Kefas and others admitted that they were praying for the Duke to die.Befor

The question raised uproar among the youths who cheered up at once and shouted simultaneously, "Me."Just like a magic wand, the hall was electrified and the dignitaries were happy."It is good to know that all of you can. The first two people to get here will have the Mic," he stated.Despite the number that he mentioned, the youths walked briskly to the stage. In a jiffy, there were ten of them on the stage."Ha!" I want only two," he looked at their happy faces and stated.Then, he faced the excited audience and asked, "How do I drum the excess out?""By balloting," some shouted.The old man could imagine how they would feel if they were evicted and he intervened, "Permit all of them to perform.""Wow!" The ten youths shouted and appreciated him one after the other, "Thank you, Your Grace.""Thank you, Our Great Duke."He waved at them by way of response and they faced the host."Now, let us see you perform."At that point, Fabian was thrilled and wished to get back to the stage an

He said many things and concluded with, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, a new Mount Olive. It is a Dukedom that will surpass other Dukedoms in Canterbury."The other Dukes grinned at his boastful remarks and said, "Don't be too sure."He laughed softly and continued. "After ...""He is laughing like Oliver," one of the Dukes pointed out."Not just that. The voice sounds like his," another Duke responded."After we close, the dignitaries, my fellow Dukes, and elders will join me at my palace for lunch," the old man continued and confused them all the more."His palace? Where is it?" One of the eight elders asked his fellow Duke."The palace of course. Oliver's house.""Is it that dilapidated house?""Yes. Is it not better than going to Harry's house?""That killer? I wouldn't have gone ""You got it," the other admitted.The old man looked at the audience and said, "The others will have their lunch in this hall. I hope you are not offended?"He paused and waited for their reac

At Laura Dickson-Williams' Bedroom“I will goad him into a fight and leave this marriage based on domestic violence. I don't understand why he will not accept my proposal to end the marriage,” the twenty-one-year-old Laura resolved.She woke up and sadly remembered that she had scores to settle with her poor, twenty-five-year-old husband, Tim Williams. “We are no more in the same league. I want to marry a real man and not a penniless and classless man,” she said to herself and angrily got up from her bed. “How can I meet a real man if I continue to be the wife of a scumbag?” she cursed. Likewise, she threw her duvet off her and tried to get out of bed but halted when the door opened. She glared at Tim who walked in to check on her. “It's time for work, Laura,” he informed her. “So, you know work but you can't get one for yourself? You wretched pauper," she glared at him and yelled. Tim smiled softly and gave his regular response, “I will work when the time comes.” His lais

The Broadcast — At The House After the security team and Laura left for the hospital, Tim dabbed his swollen eyes, shrugged his shoulders, and began to eat. He was about to leave the dining table when he saw the news on the television: (Laura Dickson-Williams was beaten up by her lazy husband, Tim Williams, for getting a job for him and she suffered a miscarriage.) “Oh! When did I beat her?” He exclaimed and ran his hand through his head which was spinning already. Likewise, he stared vacantly in amazement. Now, he reminisced about his past. Since he escaped from his jealous superior, Gen. Sydney McDonald who wanted to kill him because he defeated their enemies during the last war, he had been hiding. His higher-ups thought that he was dead and promoted his jealous superior to the rank of a General. In addition to that, he became the Chairman of the Auxiliary Armory PLC and Laura's boss. Now, the publicity had aroused their curiosity. “Does she hate me this much? Has she forg

In the spur-of-the-moment, Laura, her parents, and the Human Rights Activists ran out of the house and met her astounded security men. The pressmen were still hiding their heads and could not explain how the soldiers left. “What is the matter? I heard gunshots,” Laura asked curiously and looked at the military helicopter that had taken off. “They shot him,” a pressman raised his head and answered. “Oh, my God! I am unaware that they would arrive so soon and pick him up,” Laura boasted. Now, the pressmen were getting up one after the other and had to give an account of what they did not witness, even if it meant cooking up stories. “They have killed him. The Head of State has zero tolerance for domestic violence.” “Yes. Violence against women, especially pregnant women, angers him,” a reporter confirmed. “It serves him right,” her father pointed out and his befuddled wife lurched forward and castigated him, “Oh, dear! He died a painful and shameful death.” “Yes. Our daughter g

“You don't deserve it but I would rather not be like you. There will be no difference between us if I cause your children and wife to mourn. On this note, I reduce your punishment to compulsory retirement. You will get all your entitlements.”“Wonderful!”“Excellent!” “This is godly.”“I don't know if I can forgive a known enemy like this.”The soldiers complimented Tim's judgment one after the other. Likewise, Gen. McDonald was most grateful and he dried the tears that had formed in his eyes while everyone focused on him. Although he was seventeen years older than Tim he was aware that his promotion had nothing to do with age but merit.“You are a worthy comrade, Gen. Williams and you surpass me in wisdom. For sparing me, I owe you my life. I'm ready to support you any time you need me,” he appreciated Tim and promised.The house clapped for him and immediately, he faced the Head of State and appreciated him, “Thank you, for this chance, Your Excellency.”He faced the entire house a

“That is good. Kindly go on,” the Head of State requested when he paused and he continued. “The enemies were no match for us and we chased after them. To my joy and Gen. McDonald's annoyance, none of them escaped. Although he showed delight, I never knew it was fake. Meanwhile, I and the other soldiers concentrated on reviving our wounded colleagues. Some were badly injured and died on the spot.”“So sad!” Gen. Hill exclaimed and Tim continued.“At that point, we had run out of drugs and needed to get the victims back to the city. On the road, I requested that we stop so that I could get some marine animals and ocean plants to revitalize our men. Gen. McDonald followed me and I did not suspect anything until he shot at me and I fell into the ocean.”“Oh, my goodness! Did you suffer all these just to save your country and fellow soldiers?”“Yes, Your Excellency.”“That is true patriotism,” Gen. Hill stated and requested, “Kindly go on.”“No. We will stop here today. He needs rest. Th

Harry felt that he must nip the problem in the bud and called Tim again. The Dukes who must obey, began to file out of their seats. At that point, Tim's phone rang again and he decided to answer the caller before the Dukes would get to the podium.He brought out his phone quickly from his cross bag and looked at the caller.“Is he insane? Why is he calling me?” He asked himself angrily.To stop him from disturbing him again, he resolved to pick up the call and put things right.“Hello. How may I assist you?” He asked him.“Hello, Officer. Kindly inform the Head of State that things are going wrong in Mount Olive. You can come over and see things for yourself.”“What is going wrong if I may ask?”“The Minister wishes to install a fake Duke. You have to come over and stop …”“You are the fake Duke,” he interrupted him and declared.Before he could express his shock, Tim cut the call and focused on the installation. Meanwhile, to get a proper view of the podium, Richard got out of the b

He shook his head negatively and said, “I don't know him.”Meanwhile, Cassie was monitoring them, and when he saw Cpl. Simpson assumed that he was aware of what he was doing and relied on his judgment.He signaled to him to ask if they were set and he nodded. Cassie was pleased and continued, “His Excellency, the Head of State represented by the Minister of Culture, the President of the Auxiliary Armory PLC, the Senior Police Officer among us, ladies and gentlemen, kindly stand up and honor the Duke as we usher him in.”Before the bewildered audience could protest, the Minister and President were already standing. They stood up, too, and looked on.The host faced the police band and signaled them to give them soft music and they complied.At the entrance door, the eight Dukes were distraught with the disorganized situation and wished that they would be allowed to leave. Meanwhile, the elders could not decide what to do, especially with the presence of the soldiers around them.“Usher

"Thank you for bringing them, Valentine,” Richard appreciated him after the greetings.“It is my pleasure, Major,” he responded.“Thank you, Supervisor, for bringing your brother-in-law,” Tim teased him with a smirk. He smiled shyly and Tim continued, “You have not told us how you changed the rules of the strict University of Ghent within a few hours.”Valentine laughed aloud and tried to explain, “It was …”He stopped when he saw the Minister of Culture's entourage. Tim smiled broadly and waited for him to alight from his vehicle.“Good morning, Lt. Col. Swanson,” Richard and the other soldiers saluted him.He returned the salute and gave Tim a nod. He smiled at him and instructed, “Ask your secretary to get the hard copy of the program from the event planner.”“I got it, Boss,” he said and informed his secretary.The secretary moved at once. He got into the hall and walked to the event planner who was standing with his workers in the foyer.“Good morning, Event planner. I'm Cassie

The speaker picked offense and scolded him, “Watch your tongue. How dare you insult me. Have you hosted one before?”“Of course. Do you think that I am a village man like you,”A foul mouth deserves a slap. Unexpectedly, the last speaker got two slaps on his cheeks."Hey!" He shrieked in pain and pounced on the enemy.“Stop,” the other youths shouted and tried to separate the fight.They should not have bothered because the soldiers were all over the place. They whipped them mercilessly and shouted, “Go home. All of you." Unfortunately, all of them were whipped, and the innocent ones felt bad. They began to run and rub their backs at the same time. Saturday At The Mining Field Valentine could not ask for any other life from his present one. He was so occupied with so many responsibilities that he hardly had time for himself, and he loved it so. They woke up and had their breakfast as usual.“We are set, Supervisor,” Fabian and Tyler walked up to him and announced.Valentine was be

While the others were interested in the news, Tim was interested in the couples. He admired their outfits and was pleased with their wives.“Their wives are beautiful,” he pointed out and continued to admire them.'So, I would have been the only person without a wife if I was there?' He asked himself and remembered Stephanie.He imagined her face and looked at the Head of State's wife and the other women. “My wife will be as beautiful as they are,” he assured himself.Now, the story of the Head of State and the stranded Lt. Col. Ben Smirnoff was over and they continued with their meal. After the meal, Tim hurriedly left for his room and began to think of life with Stephanie. He smiled and connected to her phone. “Wow!” He exclaimed when he saw her resting on the couch and watching the television.She was putting on her skimpy nightwear which exposed her straight and smooth legs. He kept admiring her with a sheepish smile.At a point, she adjusted and rested her two legs on the cent

At The Table Tennis Court The Second in Command was not just obedient to the Head of State. He was a good person who would ensure that the right things were done. When he got the Head of State's invitation to come with his wife, he concluded that he wished to unwind after a hectic day.“I have not played table tennis for long,” his wife complained.“That won't be a problem. We can bench you from the onset, and you will be watching us,” he teased her, and she revolted.“Who will you bench? Me? Never.”Kay laughed and advised her, “Then sit up.”“I will,” she took his advice and dressed up.They arrived and met Dale, the Commandant, and their wives. After the salutations, Kay observed that the three women were putting on a tank top paired with a skirt and asked them, “Did you plan to dress like this?” The women laughed lavishly and answered one after the other.“No, we didn't, Your Excellency,” Dale's wife answered him.“It was a coincidence, Your Excellency,” the Commandant's wife
