Journal of Babida - after marriage (one month later)
I came back to the hotel suite not so long ago. I found that my wife Suzie was already sleeping, certainly tired of waiting for me in vain.
I wished I could get back home earlier but there were so many things to fix in the new administrative headquarters. I still have a lot to do even tomorrow but thank the ancestors, I have excellent assistants.
My henchmen Polo and Baba are just incredible imperial servants and I'm so proud that they were the witnesses of my marriage with the then young maiden Suzie, and now my wife.
Also, I have another very good collaborator in the person of General Dipi, the Commander of the backup troops sent by the Emperor, His Majesty Batang V.
The Superior Officer was extremely diligent in the reconstruction of the administrative edifice. He is endowed with tremendous military experience.
Certainly, we had a magic potion that we used to boost our men's power and stamina but the rigor and the management skills of General Dipi were quite impressive.
I will write a note to the Emperor, His Majesty Batang V, in which I laud him for choosing a one-of-a-kind superior officer as leader of the backup forces.
After the massive destruction perpetrated by the walking tornado on Okunde, an imperial intervention was essential for our region to get back on track.
Alone with all of our means destroyed, we would have had bigger issues in restoring the village. We were expecting the Emperor, His Majesty Batang V, to send us great support and he did.
The new imperial soldiers under the command of General Dipi are doing an amazing job. So far I am extremely pleased with their performance.
We were able to raise in twenty-one days a new and robust administrative headquarters. We modernized the architecture and removed the lodgings, which was the case with the former building.
Now the edifice comprises only offices and the service will be improved to respond fast to the requests for help from the victims of the calamity.
We will have to build later homes for me the Governor, and also the staff, notably the henchmen and the imperial sentinels.
Well, enough talking about work. This morning, just when I was about to leave the hotel suite for the administrative headquarters, my wife stopped me and revealed to me that she was one month pregnant.
Wow! It's unbelievable that it happened so fast. We've been married for just a few weeks and I thought it would take more time to have a baby but no, she is a fast baby-maker.
I'm thrilled but you know, it's the first time I'm going to be a father after my several past love disappointments. To be honest, I was a bit troubled by my wife's announcement this morning.
But of course, I was all smiling in front of her. I didn't want to send her the wrong message.
Anyway, believe me, I'm really happy about the news, though in my writing it might not sound so.
My wish is that the baby is a boy that will become my heir and hopefully Governor after me. I told my wife that we will have to visit the Witch Kaba who lives in the southern forest of Okunde.
The kid needs to be mystically protected and I am quite sure that the kingdom of pain has started to draft a plan against my descendant so angry Edimo, the god of ruin, is against me for destroying his most vicious creatures.
Ouf! I'm so hungry now. I see that my lovely wife has left some food for me on the table. I don't know yet what it is but I hope it's as delicious as the meal of yesterday.
Okunde, October 25, 502.
