The Love Of A King (bxb)

Chapter 8

🔱Armand🔱

Taizan feels the tug in his heart. What Sunni was telling him is beyond his line of knowledge. He knows that some of his people are in fact poor and cannot make for themselves but not being in their shoes makes him think that the feeling is nothing that anyone cannot handle. On the other hand, he is furious of how such commoners could implies him in such a way. He is a king, he have more things to do rather than just worried about the people poverty. It is something that he cannot fix unless the person responsible fix it first.

Taizan look at Sunni straight in the eyes. He try to calm himself down cause god knows if Sunni have not catch his attention, then he would long be slaying his sword through the boy skinny body. He is sure it's worth it when he can get rid of such traitor.

"So, you're saying that I am a king that cannot provide to his people? That I cannot be a king that fulfil the people's hunger?!"

The whole room lit in tense. The maid who stands with Sunni jolted in surprise when Taizan voice his anger. Sunni on the other hand try to think of the right word to fix his statement. He should've just shut it down and drown in frustration rather than make the king look at him like how a tiger chase it's prey. So, he kneel down to the floor and beg for forgiveness. He look down to the ground and his head down.

"Your highness, I did not mean such thing. You ask about the people's life and that is what I have given you. I did not mean to offend you sire. I am truly sorry for my word. Please forgive me." Sunni pleaded for his life for he knew it's the only thing he is capable of doing. He doesn't have anything to guarantee the king but his life so begging is the only option for him to spare his life in front of the king and maybe people who have the intention of killing him in the future.

"Arise." When Taizan calm down, he ordered Sunni to stand. Taizan look at the plate and back at Sunni. He had enough for the day. After a treacherous day, all he wanted to do is read a book and later went to bed.

"You are all dismissed." He said with a heavy defeat.

Sunni quickly clean the table as he doesn't want to let out any voice anymore for he might offend the king again. So, he shut his mouth and walk out of the room with the maids. He stroll down to the kitchen and wash the dishes on the floor.

Sunni heart beats a thousand miles when the realization that he almost got himself in trouble hit him. He swear that his smart and incompetent brain will kill him anytime soon. How could he say such thing to a king he did not know. Maybe the desperate need within him to help the orphanage force him to voice his complain. Maybe the tiredness that consume his body with fears had push him to the limit where he just had to voice his consciousness.

But overall, Sunni regret it. He regret saying things that could hurt the king's feeling and of course he regretted that he did not complain more if Taizan is just going to spare him apart.

"Sunni why are you washing the dishes?" Darius appear from his side.

"Eh?"

"You're the king's cook now, you should not be doing such things. Come on give it here." Darius proceed to take away the plate but not before Sunni stop him.

"I'm just washing it Darius, its fine. I'm a cook not a noble.Washing the dishes won't hurt me any other way."

Darius stare at the lean man in front of him and wonder about the true kindness he possess. He never have met any person with such down to earth morals. It makes hi. wonder what kind of world his been living with that kind of values because Darius know for sure, you cannot live in the kingdom being that everyone have their own trick up their sleeves. So what Sunni have inside of him is something not that anyone can truly stay true to.
