Zam sat at his throne, looking down at Wemmbu. "SO- Zam, Pr-PrinceZam.. I suppose you received my message, and...?" Wemmbu said nervously.
"mhm. Yes, I have. I did what you asked me to." Zam replied, and Wemmbu sighed upon hearing this, quickly looking back up at Zam. "And I assume you have payment, right?" Zam asked him.
"Oh, yeah! Of course I do." Wemmbu thought for a while. "Y'know Zam.. Youve been really good to me..." Wemmbu nervously spat out, slowly making his way to Zam's throne. "You're just such a great friend..." Wemmbu said to him, smiling with confidence. He knew Zam liked it when he complimented him.
"Aw you- You dont mean that.." Zam replied, a light pink hue flushing his face. "No Zam, I do. You're just amazing, y'know?" Wemmbu said, lifting one leg to place his knee on the empty right side of his throne, brushing his hair away, tucking a strand behind his ear and cupping his face. "You've done a lot of things for me... I just feel like there's a better way to pay you back."
Zam giggled, placing his arms behind and onto Wemmbu's neck. "Oh really now, huh?" Zam smiled. "mhm. You've always been great to me, Zam. My perfect king. You're just amazing." Wemmbu kept on going on and on about Zam being great, seeing how much more red he became.
Truthfully, Wemmbu was only doing this because he didn't actually have payment. He promised Zam 3 stacks of netherite blocks, but he only has like.. a stack of netherite ingots. Embarrassing himself to the guards who were probably listening from outside was better than dying to Zam after not paying him enough netherite.
This was probably the next best option.
