Nevertheless, his presence reawakened the compensation saga. The elders who had been peeping out from their houses to know what would befall the Duke were happy to see him. They crawled out of their hideouts to meet him but the agile soldiers would not allow them.

Richard was right when he said his wife likes celebrations. They got to the civic center and she was attracted to the work.

“Wow! I can be of help,” she volunteered.

The event planner was pleased and obliged, “I will be most grateful.”

Richard smiled inwardly and took a seat while she became busy. The event planner had never had it so good before because she was a fast learner and very creative.

While he was resting, he turned on his device to catch up with the latest news. His eyes widened in astonishment as though they would fall out of their sockets when he saw Gerald.

“What is going on?” He asked himself and looked at the speaker again.

“How can he suddenly turn against the man who allowed him to work for him?” He wonde

    The Duke's wife was not happy with her silence and felt slighted. She glared at her and Richard noticed it. To ascertain whether she meant to look down upon her or not, she repeated her order.“You must give me a seamless job. Is that clear to you?”Now, her eyes were on Empress but she was too occupied to notice her. Besides, she felt that she was not part of the team, and responding to such instructions could be misinterpreted by the event planner. Those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad (Proverb).Many workers answered her respectfully,y which should have sufficed,d but she wished to get more from the only person who would land her in big trouble.Now, she walked closer to her, faced her, and pointed out, “Hey! Are you deaf? I'm talking to you.”The petite-looking Empress was as feeble as her looks. She was scared to hear her voice and the hateful look in her eyes was scarring. She quickly took a step towards her husband and she went after her.“How dare you walk

    At The AcademyThe distraught Commandant was still resting in his car when his phone rang. He had ignored many calls but the Head of State's ringing tone was unique. Despite the reversal of the posting, his heart skipped a beat when he heard it and jolted.“Oh, my God!” He exclaimed.All the same, he comported himself and picked up the call, “Good afternoon, Your Excellency,” he greeted him.“Good afternoon, Innocent. I would appreciate it if you would join us at the table tennis court today. Is it convenient for you?”'He is so unpredictable,' he thought before he responded, “It is convenient for me, Your Excellency.”“It is all right. I will be happy if your wife can come with you.”“It is okay. I will come with her. Thank you for inviting us.”“You are welcome. See you later,” he said and cut the call.“Huh! Was I fretting for nothing?” He asked himself and got out of the car.He shut the door with the comportment of a Colonel and walked into his house.“Ha!” His wife exclaimed whe

    At The Palace After George and Tim calmed the old man down, he stood aside and watched Jerry and Collins as they removed their things from the bus. When they attempted to take them to the parlor, he stopped them.“Don't over labor yourselves. We will soon go to the hotel with them,” he advised them.The confused Sergeants stopped in their tracks and Tim looked at George. He understood the look and decided to break the news to him.“Kindly come with me, Dad. I want to show you something,” he requested.He looked at him worriedly but complied. They hardly took a step when Francis appeared and welcomed them one after the other.The old man was confused. He looked at him and asked, “What are you doing here, Francis?”Instead of responding, he looked into his eyes and smiled. George moved and he followed him.“What is he doing here, Son?” He asked desperately as they walked on.“We will soon find out,” he answered him and climbed the staircase.He followed him quietly until they got to th

    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

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    At The Table Tennis CourtGeorge was full of joy and all over Tim like an over-pampered baby. Tim could feel it when they were having their lunch. At 4:40 PM, they left for the table tennis court. They saw the attendants arranging the place. Tim parked and called Kay."We are around, Your Excellency," he informed him after he picked up the call."It's all right. I am waiting for His Excellency," he responded, and his eyes widened in astonishment."It's okay," he said and ended the call.He looked at George and saw his shock."Are you scared?" He asked him."Ha! I thought we were playing with only the Second in Command.""I thought so as well. I never knew he informed the Head of State. Just be yourself. Okay?" He breathed freely and answered, "I will."Shortly after, the team arrived and parked accordingly. Tim and George got out of their vehicle and walked to them. George saluted them accordingly and they returned the salute while Tim looked on.'This is not what I planned,' he said

    "I can hold it for you, Boss," Nathaniel volunteered to hold the gift he bought for George."Never mind," he said and got out of the car.He walked back to the foyer with great expectations. To his chagrin, he was not there. He swallowed hard and walked into the parlor.'He is still angry with me,' he said when he did not see him in the parlor."Take this to George," he ordered Nathaniel who was waiting for him to dismiss him."Okay, Boss," he said and collected the stuff.He walked to George's room while Tim headed to the kitchen. Sheldon, who was washing the dishes, paused and welcomed him."Has George eaten?" He asked him afterward.No, Boss.""Why?""He said he will let me know when he will eat," he explained."I see," he said and walked out.Nathaniel should have been out of George's room so that he could ask him questions about him. When he did not see him, he walked to his room.Nevertheless, when Nathaniel knocked on George's door, he thought that the knock was from Tim. He c

    "I'm visiting the graveyard, Nathaniel," Tim informed the officer."I got it, Boss," he answered him."What kind of handgun do you have?""The hand cannon, Boss," he faced him and answered."It's okay, Boss," he said."Are you with the cleaning materials?" He asked him."We will hire from the workers," he answered him and drove on.Shortly after, he was at the gate of the cemetery. Meanwhile, Sheldon was confused about what to do about the breakfast. They had hardly eaten their food last night before the arguments that made them abandon it. He felt bad while trashing the food."Don't they like it?" He asked himself.After mulling over the incident, he shrugged and said, "I will prepare the breakfast all the same."Not quite long, George and his team members returned. The training gave him some relief but when he did not see Tim at the foyer, he felt bad. His feelings grew from bad to worse when he did not see his car."This is serious. So, he has gone to see her?"

    At Tim's House After he rebuffed George and covered his duvet over his head, he felt good. He expected that he would knock on the door again but he did not. After waiting for a while, he perceived that he had returned to his room and was disappointed."I have angered him," he said and got up.He was disturbed and asked himself, "What do I do?" He picked up his phone to call him but changed his mind."He won't pick up the call. There is no need," he said to himself and dropped the idea.He turned on the television, just to keep him busy. The war film reminded him of Brig. Witherspoon and the threat from the South Coast. He pouted and picked up Gen. Hanklin's phone."Stupid country. They will learn their lesson the hard way," he said and swiped the phone.He saw a few new messages and tapped the older ones. He smiled when he saw Ambrose's suicide note to him. He was pleased to know that he had not spoken with him after he recovered."He has truly repented and loyal to Canterbury," he

    Nevertheless, she succeeded in pulling her away from her father but she tried to resist her and continued to hit her husband. Suddenly, her husband pushed her and she landed on Laura."Ouch!" She screamed.At that point, Pa Dickson was favored. He got up quickly and descended on his wife. He punched her face several times while she kept shouting. Laura, who was under her, was in pain and shouting as well. "Get up from me, Mom," she shouted but her mother could not.Rather, her husband kept punching her face. When he was satisfied, he let go of her and cursed, "Stupid woman. I will teach a lesson that you will never forget."Laura pushed her mother aside and got up angrily."So, this is your plan? The two of you wished to kill me," she said, walked back to her room, and locked the door.Although Madeline was weak, she would not let her husband off the hook. As he was trying to sit back on the couch, she mustered energy. Like a wounded lion, she leaped up from the floor and swooped su

    At The Complex Laura got up and walked to the door like a bulldog. The Corporal and warden gave way for her or she would have pounced on them. With that, she increased her offenses, and Jerry cashed in and whipped her legs with the horsewhip."Repeat after me, Miss Dickson. Say I will not disturb the peace of the complex again," he requested while flogging her."I will never disturb .... Hey!" She stopped and shrieked in pain.Jerry continued to flog her, and she continued to cry and repeat after him."Run for your life before I kill you. Silly girl," he shouted at her and she obeyed. George was happy to see her running out of the cell like a little mouse frightened out of the Queen's chair.She continued running towards the reception when Jerry joined George in the car and he turned on his ignition."Good job, Sergeant," he said and drove off.Nevertheless, she got to the lobby, and the new security team was surprised to see her running like a thief."What! What are you doing here?

    He would have called Cpl. Simpson, who was on night duty, to release her, but it would not give him the satisfaction he wanted. Shortly after, he stormed out of his room, got the car keys from the hangar, and walked to the garage. His car alerted Collins and Jerry the moment he turned on his ignition. They walked out of the boys quarters and focused on him."We are going to the complex. Hop in if you are ready," he informed them.They were troubled and did not want to keep him longer than necessary. Jerry was on his khaki pants and camouflage shirt. Collins was putting on the same shirts upon knickers and was not comfortable with it."I will change to trousers," he said and walked away.Jerry got into the front seat, looked at George's sad face, and inquired, "I hope there's no problem?""The boss said we should release that wrench in the guard room.""Ha! You can ask the Corporal to release her," he advised him."I would have done that not until I lay my hands on her, and she would r

    He furrowed his brow when he saw her in the kitchen preparing her dinner."Why doesn't she live in a big house and have security guards and a cook like Laura? At least a cook," he thought."Something should be done about it," he concluded.After he left the parlor, George sat on the couch to wait for him. At that point, he got a message from his father. He relaxed and punched on it. A wide smile covered his face while he was reading through it."She will never stay without trouble," he said when he read that Laura was arrested that morning.In the end, he said, "She would soon be working to finance bills that she incurred out of stupidity."At that point, Tim joined him and they walked to the dining table."How was your meeting with the Major General?" "It went well. Empress has grown lean," he pointed out and George was lost."What has Empress got to do with your meeting?" He asked him at once."Oh! I didn't inform you. The meeting was because of them. She fought with her instructor

    To extricate herself, she answered at once, "No, Sir.""Then what happened? Don't keep me here longer than I wish," Dale thundered, and she was fear-stricken. "I apologize, Boss. I agreed with her and watched her walk to her husband. When she was sitting with him in the car, I called Mrs Bentley and showed her the two. She was surprised to see them discussing freely. When she returned, Mrs. Bentley did not bother to verify whether it was true or false."She stopped and looked at Richard who had killing intentions on his face. Tim was relishing the story and hated it when she stopped. He hit his hand on the table angrily and shouted at her, "Then what happened?"Although, they were not familiar with Tim's identity they believed that he was an important person to Dale.Instantly, she continued, "She gave her a knife hand strike. Before she could defend herself, she struck her with her shinbone and they began to fight."They focused on Empress who was still looking down. They compared
