Chapter 4 - The Ex and the cat

PROVINCE;NARUKU

CITY;REMBO

RESIDENCE; GLORIOUS PEACOCK ESTATE

On an ornate throne filled with precious stones and crystals sat a woman,a very very beautiful woman.The throne was ardoned in such a way that it seemed to absorb and emit light, it's jewels were arranged chaotically with order to resemble an open peacock tail feathers.The majestic chair only seemed to complement the beauty who sat on it .

Elena Skyrixt is the name of that very beautiful woman.In a place where nobility embodied peak in every aspect, she and a select few women numbering less than a dozen were the standard for beauty in the whole empire and beyond .With long wavy silver hair,sea blue eyes and small blood red lips on a small egg shaped head ,a body with curves on the right places that was clothed on silver and blue gown.

"Lady Marquis,we are experiencing phenomenal growth in all aspects both internal and external trade, better governance and overall growth of our area of influence.The trade expansion to neighboring countries especially warring states has led metriotic growth in profits, our fleets in the ocean have not only expanded but in size but are well protected by specially trained warriors for the clan ." Finished the man who bore the same silver hair and blue eyes as the woman.

"Elijah, please stop patronizing me , not now." Lady Elena Skyrixt spoke with a sharp edge in her voice."Fine cousin,we are doing well,too well for my taste,we not only have economic power as the leading trading clan in the kingdom and outside through trading, our army and navy is growing too powerful , the kingdom and it's clans are watching us closely." spoke Elijah Skyrixt viscount and personal advisor to lady Elena Skyrixt marquis of Nakuru province and clan head to the Radiant peacock. Silence reigned as she seemed to be in thought.Ever so slowly the lady marquis took an apple and took a bite,a scene of temptation, clearly not concerned by the report from her cousin (advisor). "Elijah, what does that saying go uummhh survival for the...?" "Fittest, survival for the fittest, cousin, what does that have to do with the state of our clan ?" "Elijah you are a genius administrator but at best a competent politician, survival is not for the fittest but for the most adaptable, that's what we do, our clan is not for the fit but the adaptable, not only to the kingdom but beyond.its all about usefulness,we are not the only tools that can be used, and it doesn't matter if we are, all that matters is we survive and thrive by any means necessary."

Just then footsteps were heard followed by shouts"Mother! mother! I was...!! Greetings uncle."The boy hardly three was about to go into a rant only to be stopped by the presence of his stern uncle.With a beautiful face hair and eyes like his mother,he had the face of a charmer and heartbreaker." "Ohh little Dorminic Skyrixt, you are here so you Finished your assignment, chores and homework and the project I assigned for you to..." "Elijah please not now, Dorminic?" " Ahh! yes ! sorry mom ahhh! Lady marquis!" "Dorm!!!"a withering look from his mother shut him up." I finished all my assignments and wanted to see if I could visit my sister..." "Yes you can,I will go ahead and bring her to you at the garden,go wait for me there,ok?" ""Yes ma'am, all go ahead, uncle." Then as quickly as he came,he was gone bringing silence just as he took it."He's a brilliant boy but also a hair head, lady marquis,if you excuse me ,I believe we will continue this conversation some other time."with that Viscount Elijah Skyrixt excused himself leaving the marquis Elena Skyrixt seated on her throne.

"Oh Damian Octavian,if I can't have you, then my daughter will have your son, I'll make sure of it!" words spoken only to her self for the pain of a love that was lost.

Not long after an attendant came with guards, all bowing to the throne,"my Lady marquis, you are schedule to visit the garden with your children,then visit your ailing husband marquis Peter Petrov at his residence at Peterborough city, later you have a meeting with ambassadors from the three nations alliance," "home, territory and power, short-term goals,then Damian and David Octavian long time goals,hhhhmmmm,then let's go,"

RESIDENCE: TIGER KING ESTATE

(David Octavian/general POV)

Life is good, especially when you're parents are loaded aristocrats , servant at everybeck and call , being spoiled by parents who adore you and most importantly, you died a poor bastard in your last life and never experienced luxury of any kind even if it's pre- industrial revolution era kind of luxury then life is really good.l wake up eat(suckle), get teased by my parents (dad still a white dude, not a dream,huh, let's try tomorrow) shit,cry to be taken exploring, sleep, repeat, not forgetting no work, life is really really good.

Everything is good but there's a slightly problem,a feline problem.I don't hate cats not at all, I love them, had one at my grandma's place that I played with when I was younger in my past life, was called Tom and it was more than a pet , was sad when it passed,so I thought I would get along with this one but no ,we don't get along.The cat sees me as the pet (yes am a baby, can barely move but pride,u know) it threw a ball for me to fetch... fetch!!! ,gave me it's leftovers, it pets my head, my head like a pet!!! I think I'll cook it and eat it if I could, moving on.

People in this world or the same world I was in but in the past, I don't know, are strong like really strong ,I saw a servant casual lift a big rock in the garden and I started thinking that maybe just maybe this is a world where people have powers , I mean a guy could dream, I lose nothing by trying and I've got all the time in the world (me being a baby for the foreseeable future)

So system... status window... Shazam...3X2(9Y2)4A...(alot of fiction nonsense later)

So no non! huh! .... brain shutting down,low baby stamina... need sustenance (milk) solve problem tomorrow (am not procrastinating,no not at all)

(Next day)

what's my advantage?,am conscious in mind, not like other babies,so my advantage is the mind , meditation...low baby stamina... need milk and sleep...(am still not procrastinating)

(Next day)

Meditation, clear mind, harmonize my breath with my heartbeat, something about opening a mind palace, smack!!! open my eyes see the damn cat ... inner peace...hhhmmmm huuuuuu.. inner peace... smack!!!! Ignore it do not be reduced to animalistic instincts smack!!! Inner peace smack!!! It's eyes, they are laughing and smiling at me... hhhhmmmm huuuuuu smack!!!...innereds pieces!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!! You stupid stiiiiuuupid cat utantambua (u will know me today)

"Damian look the baby is playing with Bast they are going to be close,I can feel it look at how he's hugging him, I think David likes cats , don't you?" Spoke Lady Dutchess Clare seeing her child 'playing' with the resident feline.

'die bast...d!! die!!

"So he's not trying to kill the feline!!??"

"DAMIAN OCTAVIAN!!! YOU!!!?"

(Next day)

Meditation...( fight cat)

(One month)

It works I think, after a month of struggling and cat fights, I was able to achieve true meditation, clear my mind, and reach the realm of selflessness, one with body.It was surreal, indescribable, just like you are high ,then rainbows of colors then darkness.Darkness my old friend before all this , now it's the key, the silence suffocating but to me it brings peace, clarity and calm.One moment darkness then a shift,a feeling,an annoyance, dodge..., again that annoyance dodge...l open my eyes look at the cat still in the act of lifting its paw , not believing,(I look at you, you look at me)am also confused, so that's my reincarnation gift, super sense, I think,cat sense, ultra instinct...

Hahahaha!! Can't touch this!! smack!!! ....

You st*$#$*@+&_*#$_$*"!!;!?;;:???? cat Aaaaaahhhhhh!!!!
