For nine extraordinary days, a kingdom lived with its dead king.
Following the death of King Oyo of Tooro, his body returned to the heart of the kingdom, where grief, tradition, royal ritual and questions about the future converged around Karuziika Palace.
Nine Days with the King takes the reader inside those final days of mourning: the waiting crowds, the vigils, the prayers, the royal household, the ancient customs and the deeply human moments surrounding a king whose life had begun in the international spotlight as the world's youngest reigning monarch.
But even as Tooro mourned, another question could no longer be avoided: what happens to a kingdom when the king at its centre is gone?
Written with the immediacy of unfolding history and the atmosphere of a cinematic drama, Book VI of After the World's Youngest King captures the extraordinary passage between death, farewell and the beginning of succession.
Nine days. One palace. One king awaiting his final journey. A kingdom preparing to let go.

About the Author
His Greatness Professor Patrick Businge is a philosopher of greatness, educator, and civilisational thinker whose work explores not success, but what endures. Writing at the intersection of ontology, moral philosophy, spiritual anthropology, and lived wisdom, his inquiry asks not how greatness is achieved, but how it is rightly formed, sustained, recognised, and transmitted across generations.
He is the founding architect of Greatness Studies, an original interdisciplinary field that establishes greatness as a condition of being grounded in human dignity, moral responsibility, and continuity beyond the individual. In this vision, greatness is not treated as performance, influence, or visibility, but as a moral and interior formation expressed through character, service, and responsibility to the future.
Central to his work is the creation of the Eternal Greatness Designations, a global moral framework that recognises individuals whose lives embody enduring virtue, humanitarian service, intellectual leadership, and civilisational contribution. These recognitions are presented through initiatives such as the World Greatness Awards and documented in the World Book of Greatness, preserving the stories of individuals whose lives uplift humanity.
Born in Uganda and shaped by a life that bridges continents, Professor Businge holds advanced doctoral degrees in education and philosophy. He is the Founder and Chancellor of Greatness University, the world's first canon-based institution dedicated to the study, formation, recognition, and preservation of greatness in human life.
He is the author of numerous philosophical works on greatness, honour, legacy, and civilisation. His multi-volume Canon of Eternal Greatness establishes a philosophical architecture for interior formation, covenant, stewardship, and civilisation-written not merely to motivate, but to endure. He is also the creator of the Grammar Series, a body of works exploring the "grammar" of human existence and development, examining the deeper structures through which consciousness, formation, greatness, honour, authority, and civilisation are understood.
Through his writing, teaching, and institutional work, Professor Businge seeks to contribute to a lasting intellectual tradition dedicated to the study and preservation of greatness for future generations.
