“IF I choose plague, will I become something more? I refer to as if I will become a servant or a slave? Because if you think about it, Gebre Meskal, you’re supposedly “spy” is giving me the hardest choice ever!”
“Lij Telemakos,” continued Gebre Meskal calmly, “this court remains in session. I have asked you to suggest a sentence for this criminal. Have you given it?”“I have. I—” Telemakos said, and clenched his fists. He hated Anako, but he did not want to be like Anako. “I have not. Plague take him! Send him into exile outside Aksum. Give him a choice: Afar or exile. Salt or plague. Maybe he will be lucky.”
*@!#%
Anako stood up and considered this, thinking of which option will favor him more. He must be wise, since this can change his life or kill his life. He is ready to ask questions....
Please, have mercy.
Anako cleared his throat and asked: “IF I choose plague, will I become something more? I refer to as if I will become a servant or a slave? Because if you think about it, Gebre Meskal, you’re supposedly “spy” is giving me the hardest choice ever!”
“And one last thing, Telemakos and I will be at first class seeing your execution since you DISGUST me.
Anako started complaining, insulting, and cursing Gebre Maskal and Telemakos. Of course, this led him nowhere, and Gebre Maskal finally said: “ For insulting me and dear Telemakos, I will have YOU executed. Besides, now that we know that Telemakos went through a lot just to discover your identity, I think you deserve it. Another thing is that you brought shame to this country and lied to me all this time pretending to be good.”
Anako finally came to his senses and started begging for mercy. But it was too late, the decision was already made. There was no turning back.
“And one last thing,” said Gebre Maskal “Telemakos and I will be at first class seeing your execution since you DISGUST me.” Said that, Telemakos realized that at least he didn’t do the evil part and he isn’t the bad guy. So he went on, he saw the execution, but, he forgot quickly and focused more on his dad now that he speaks more. He had the life he always dreamed of. THE END
