THE ROYAL GHOST

( CHAPTERS 8)

●Insert 8●

[The king and his family arrived at Leakwe's home]

Lucifer: Wait, is this the right place? I thought we were going to a funeral?

Uncle Lwazi: The chief of this city sent us this address. I assume it's correct.

Kentse: Look, it says 'Welcome Home Leakwe'! This must be the party.

King khutse: What is the meaning of this? I thought Leakwe's sister had passed away?

(People were now all looking at the royal family )

Thandeka: (approaching them) The royal family! What a wonderful surprise! You should have told us you were coming to celebrate with us. I would have made sure to reserve a VIP space for you.

Leakwe: (running to them) Oh, my king! What a wonderful surprise!

King Khutse: I thought you said your sister died.

Thandeka: Sister?

Leakwe: Yes. See, my mom here lied and told me that my sister died so that I would come home, right, Mother(side-eying her)

Thandeka: (confused) Yes...

King Khutse: So, no dead sister?

Thandeka: (laughing) No, my king. Her sister is very much alive.

Lucifer: Let's leave, we were here for a funeral, not a party.

Kentse: Granny, we're already here. Let's just join the party.

Lucifer: This is not what we came for. We're not even wearing proper outfits.

Uncle Lwazi: Come on, we're not that bad. Black is beautiful.

Thandeka: Please, your majesty, do stay.

Kentse: Leakwe, can you show me the bathroom?

Leakwe: Just go inside, you'll find Mmamoruti. Ask her to show you.

Kentse: No, silly! I want you to show me.

Thandeka: Leakwe, show the princess the bathroom, Don't keep her waiting before she pees herself.

Leakwe: (sighing) Fine.

Kentse: Thanks, Leakwe! Lead the way!

[Leakwe walks ahead, with Kentse following close behind]

Lucifer: (to Uncle Lwazi) This is ridiculous. We're a royal family, for crying out loud! We shouldn't be treated like this.

Thandeka: Don't worry, your majesty. I will arrange a suitable VIP space for you.

King Khutse: Well, we are already here. We might as well join.

Lucifer: We are royal people. We don't attend this kind of party.

King Khutse: But you were willing to come to a funeral for this kind of people. Stop being ridiculous.

Uncle Lwazi(referring to Thandeka):Mam, we will wait for you to organize a space for us.

Thandeka: Oh, thank you, sir. I'll bring chairs in the meantime.

●KENTSE ●

Kentse: Your house is nice.

Leakwe: Thank you.

Kentse: I know you really ran away and lied to the king about what happened that night.

Leakwe: No, mom lied to me, saying my sister died.

Kentse: Okay, then show me your sister.

Leakwe: What?
