The Royals: A Kings Heart

Chapter 65

SIBONELO'S POV_

I got in my car, tracing on my phone where Petunia lived. Using her surname, I already got a hit because her father was registered in my family payroll for car service. I drove to the address as fast as possible. It took only 10 minutes to get to her house. I knocked on the front door. Petu opened, still dressed in a warm gown and slippers.

Petu: "Prince Sibonelo." Her expression filled with surprise and confusion.

Sibo: "Hi Petu. Please grab your things, we need to get going."

Petu: "No, Prince Sibonelo. I'm not going back to your home-"

Sibo: "PETUNIA."

Petu: "No. The only reason I told Mnqobi about the protest is because I couldn't get hold of Amahle or Thembisa. Since you guys are close to the future King now, I told him. I don't want anything from him."

Sibo: "I don't care about what you and Mnqobi are going through to be honest. The only reason I'm here is because you need to be safe. I'm not sure about you either going there to save your father from this stupid decision or the people he's pissing off coming to his house and hurting you. Anything is possible, now get your things or I'm carrying you out in that gown." She quickly turned around rushing to her room. Why do women make things difficult for no reason? She came back in a tracksuit and a small travel bag, locking her home. We got in the car.

Sibo: "I'm taking you to Khaya's place, at least your friend is there and it's secure."

Petu: "Actually, I'd rather go to my sister's house. I need to be with my family." I know she was running away from Mnqobi because he obviously has easy access to Khaya's apartment.

Sibo: "Enter the address on the screen then." She typed her sister's address in and I started the car, driving off.

Petu: "What's going to happen to my father?"

Sibo: "Probably die." She started crying immediately. "But Petu, you do know conspiring against the throne is illegal."

Petu: "He's the only parent I have left in the world."

Sibo: "He sure as hell isn't moving like he is." I made a turn onto the freeway.

Petu: "I should've just kept quiet."

Sibo: "And be implicated in the charges as well. Like I said, he's pissing off the wrong people. Look, you're a smart girl Petunia. But people make very stupid choices in life to their own detriment. What you did, was a smart decision. Even apart from that, you know it was right."

Petu: "How will I look my sister in the eye knowing I had our father killed? How will I keep living?"

Sibo: "If you didn't overhear his conversation, and the same thing that is about to happen, happened. Would you still feel it's your fault? The end result doesn't change. The only thing you changed, was your safety. Even if we didn't know, the army is there to protect. If you're going against the law, you will be punished. You didn't make the law." I turned into Oceanview, an area built for middle upper class citizens. "What does your sister do?"

Petu: "She's a housewife."

Sibo: "So she married rich. That's lovely."

Petu: "She loves her husband."

Sibo: "I didn't say she doesn't. I said it's lovely. No one should aspire for lower class all in the name of love."

Petu: "Not everything is about money Prince Sibonelo. It may make things comfortable but without basic natural needs such as love, trust and respect, it means absolutely nothing. You'd find that alot of people with the statement you gave are actually living miserable lives and have no source of joy without opening their wallet."
