Chapter 9: Secrets
Several days have passed and Puss and Kitty's relationship was going well and "normal", of course, if circumstances allowed it, so it's known that their situation was more peculiar.
That morning Kitty left early and had something in mind, she was a little naughty but she really wanted to do it even if she had a task to do. She was headed to the upper area scuttling with agility, the usual with the difference that Kitty wanted to surprise him.
In that the female cat thought ... What was the probability of falling in love with someone who was "socially" wrong? Was not it easier to look at someone from her circle or from her neighborhood?
- It would be less exciting - said a little voice in her head.
What's more, Kitty was already there, in danger, normal in her life.
The female cat went up to the upper part of a house to look for him, she hoped to catch him doing a round in the square, although now with the work of bodyguards it was less probable but she had the hope, wanted to see him.
-Okay, I'll go no problems - Puss said when they asked him to make a round of his partner since he was sick and that position was free and needed support.
-We have not worked together for a long time, have we? - said his friend.
-Exactly, I prefer this before being next to Dulcinea - he complained.
- I thought I would never hear from your mouth - joked the golden cat. The Royal Guard glared at him - I'm sorry, I had to say it.
- Very funny - he said - I'm talking seriously.
-Look, I know you were delighted and excited about her and Dulcinea perceived it, she abused with your feelings and it is understandable that you did not see it - he reflected - It is good you realized that she only wanted to use you to promote her goals.
- Sure, but why me? It's not that I'm a good candidate - said the orange cat.
-But ascending in that way and rising rank was adding points and being a good candidate - he concluded.
-I'm not interested, I don't want to be anyone's toy- Puss snapped, as you know, he had a very bad time and didn't plan to go through that again.
-I'm glad you noticed, - said his friend - We were losing you Puss. You were like a bundle with legs.
-Thank you? - He said ironically.
- I'm sorry, again - he said laughing - Are we going to work? - he asked. Puss nodded and they went with their squadron to make the famous rounds.
-What the hell was she doing there?
When Puss saw her, he had to check again to make sure he wasn't wrong. And yes ... Kitty was there!
She smiled at him from the height and winked playfully at him. He shook his head in a funny way. This to be with someone who likes danger ...
In the end, he returned the smile, in any case he was glad to see her. She is so beautiful that his day improved with seeing her.
She gestured with her hand for Puss to follow her as he watched her go.
-Hey Joey, cover me a few seconds? I think I saw something - he said.
- Go, there's no problem - he replied.
Once they met, Puss said - It's not that I don't want to see you, but don't you think you're risking a lot coming here?
-Nah, remember that I do it all the time even without you noticing - she said disinterested.
-And you couldn't wait for the night ... - Puss said.
- No- she said with a wide smile - Also, I wanted to surprise you so it's not so routine.
The Royal Guard embraced his beloved cat in a tight way. -You surprised me - he said affectionately. She settled her face on his shoulder. She felt so comfortable that the rest did not care ...
- How I would like to be together without any problem - he lamented.
-I would like the same ... But you know, the danger gives a touch- she said positively.
- It's true - he agreed.
- It happens to us to go through this - she said in a joking tone.
- Yes, it is also true but it is your fault - he accused.
-My fault? - she asked.
- Your eyes captured me, I could even say that you cast a spell on me - he said - I still remember our first fight in the caravan of royalty, although I still didn't know it was you - he said.
-Ha! Sure it's my fault - she said falsely hurt - But you let yourself be cajoled first and it was easier to catch you with the look than with a hand-to-hand fight - she said.
- Not so much - Puss said not taking care of what he said.
-You are challenging me? - she asked.
- No ... how do you think that? - he pretended, smiling playfully. Kitty narrowed her eyes.
- As if you were a saint! - she accused.
-Hey! But I still have my merits! - He defended himself.
-Mmm- she said thoughtfully and concluded - You let me go about three times ...
Touché
Puss looked at her surprised, he did not expect it, he smiled at the challenge -I mean, did you prefer the opposite? - he asked insinuatingly.
- No ... but you said you had your merits but I do not see them - she challenged mischievously.
So with that ... it was time to take out the secret weapon. In one of his meetings Puss had caught the weak point ...
Puss cornered her surprisingly leaving her trapped between the wall and whispered in her ear - Repeat it - he said.
Kitty pretended that it didn't affect her and she was going to talk but she was speechless when the orange cat began to run around her neck tickling her temptingly.
-I ... it was a joke - she said with difficulty for the tickle and tried to ignore it and Kitty struggled to get away from him. - If not ... not for you - she said in a difficult way - I wouldn't be here ... You saved me ...
That's what he wanted to hear.
- Very well - said Puss with a triumphant smile.
Suddenly the Royal Guard heard the voice of Joey looking for him - Go away - he said goodbye to her with a light kiss. Kitty nodded and went to hide climbing up a house to the top. She decided to follow him without Puss seeing her.
As soon as she saw that real cat, Kitty glared at her. She insinuated herself to him in a brazen way and you could see in the distance that something was looking for. She was a false one. The princess so easy and nasty ...
Kitty never thought she was ever jealous and as that white cat approached her boyfriend more and more, something inside boiled. It was as if she was a threat. The irony is that the princess asked for explanations to her Guard, not even she did it and this comes with her "real right" to prevail.
Damn daughter of...
She decided that it was better to leave before she committed some madness, totally she trusted Puss.
Kitty was in her area, near where the old man who visited the place lived. She had work to do and was to enter the house and check the passageway to freedom. The moment she was in front of the big house, it was not a big problem to be worried about the guards since they were not watching her, in fact she was betting that she did not even know that place existed. In theory, they did not notice that there is a missing key.
It took her a while to open it for the time she supposed, but she succeeded. Upon entering Kitty could notice that everything was full of dust and cobwebs, was completely dark could barely see.
She supposed that she would meet a scenario like this so she brought a torch, which she lit. As she went she discovered different rooms and rooms, it was a large plant and it looked like a labyrinth, it was expected that the place was especially complicated to find that basement, it was definitely the exit of the kingdom.
As she entered, she would mark with her knife the area where she had passed so as not to get lost and to know that this sector had already covered it. After walking several meters, she was struck by a peculiar door that was locked with a padlock, she thought it might be that way, so she put the torch to light the lock and began to try to wrestle it open with the help of her knife. After several minutes of struggle, she finally succeeded.
To her surprise, what Kitty found was a pile of papers on top of a desk, in that room there were weapons and strange suits. What was all this?
With the torch she illuminated the desk and glanced to see what was in these papers. She could see that it was papers and a kind of logs of the nobles, the elite of the Tuxedos, where her grandfather had worked ... Everything they did and used was there but something did not agree with her. Why did the kingdom keep all of them? These things instead of getting rid of them?
Unwittingly wanting the answer came when he found a letter hidden in one of those last books, which had a more recent date. The female cat opened the letter finding an elegant script and she read.
"Bad things are about to happen and I leave this only endorsement in this place, since they will be one of the few things that the kingdom can't eliminate.
Our King had his days numbered, he was very sick and he had to make the quick decision on the successor in the only two heirs to the throne.
I was hoping that Princess Amelia would keep the crown, she was in love and paired with one of our companions who had a good family, and their union could ensure the succession and the King esteemed him very much. The princess is very good and fair, she made good decisions and very mature at her age. Quite the opposite of his brother the Prince who always abused his power. He also sought since he was very influenced by his uncle leading the thought of the search for the purity of the kingdom
, that is to say, nothing to mix with the commoners and less to relate with mixed lineages and you had more layers of colors, it was stupidity and discrimination where you looked.
I don't know how he did it or what truculence he put in, but he prevented the union of the two from materializing ... Our companion disappeared and curiously that night our King got worse ... everything happened so fast that we thought he was involved in his father's health ... taking him to the death…
The next morning was all crazy, he proclaimed himself King taking power, the next we found it meaningless but he threw his sister out of the kingdom leaving her with nothing, hopefully a horse to go. She was as devastated as the death of her father, the disappearance of her beloved, and that her own brother cast her away as if she were a vagabond. Some of our elite took the decision that a group escaped without being seen, to take care of Princess Amelia, more than bad is our task and we could not leave it that way either.
Little by little, this is dissolving and dark times will come. We don't have anything insured and they have not told us anything, but it is already certain that we will stop being servants of the kingdom. All for the search of a good lineage.
Tonight some of us will escape with our family ... this decision was made as a group and unfortunately we can't all go, as we would like. I wish you the best of luck and we will value your courage to stay here.
Semper fi "
Wow!
Kitty was surprised by what she had discovered, she was happy because she found more details about what the old man had told. She continued to check the odd thing but apparently, there was nothing else. The female cat could see that there was a nice arch with their respective arrows, which was engraved in a sector "The Elite Tuxedo", it was beautiful. She decided to take it with her to the letter.
She left the place and left the door closed. Kitty made a different mark to remember it after that she kept walking for several hours, she was already overwhelmed until it occurred to her that she was looking bad and went back to the halls and in each one of them she checked the floor stomping in some sectors to detect something abnormal, maybe a door. Until at last Kitty found it, it remained under a rug where she discovered the door, which had no padlock or anything. She came down carefully and when she reached the ground, she made a dull noise, confirming that it was the basement with the passageway; she crossed the place until she reached the end of it, encountering the rocks that blocked the exit.
So far and so close at a time but how important that Phase One of the plan was ready.
Days later the group met to review how the plans were going.
-Well, just missing the carts and determine the list of those who will escape with us - said one.
- Our assault partners have to go with us so they help with the escape if things go bad - Kitty said.
-Yes, I think the list would have it for the other week - said Claire - It is a difficult decision since many want to leave but are aware there are some who need it more.
-Well if this goes well we'll see if we can make another getaway ... -said her boyfriend, he wish everyone could leave there.
- When are Carlos and Noah arriving? - Kitty asked.
-In a while, I think - he replied.
-And what time is it? - she asked again.
-Near midnight - they replied - Why?
-I need to do something and I don't think I can stay - she responded when she saw that she was getting late to join Puss. Kitty hasn't seen him two days ago ...
-And what is? - Claire asked.
- It doesn't concern you, nosy - she accused her, always Claire knew when to suspect her - There was something pending, it's nothing. I must go - she said quickly before being asked any more questions.
- She has been acting strange for several weeks - Claire said once her friend left and she squinted.
- Maybe she has things pending, there is nothing to worry about, and besides that we can manage it alone since it isn't so complicated what we have to do - said Joey.
She just sighed.
Puss waited at the door of the tavern on the side, he was attentive to her coming. Even though they had not been long, he missed her anyway.
Since their relationship began and every time they saw each day, they became closer, everything flowed very well and every time they had to say goodbye they made time ... it was obvious, they did not want to do it. Not that they were a typical couple who could walk freely and get together whenever they wanted. Unfortunately, his times were shortened but it does not matter, it was worth it.
The one that was complicating the matter was Dulcinea, each time looking for more excuse for Puss to stay with her. He hoped she didn't suspect anything about their relationship, didn't want Kitty to come out injured by Dulcinea's whims ...
His thief who stole his heart ... He was so happy that she had crossed his path ... without her, Puss couldn't have taken the princess out of his head and heart everything he felt for her ...
However, there is one thing that had him thoughtful, hopefully it wouldn't happen but there was the possibility anyway ... What would happen if they discover their relationship with Kitty? What would happen to her? What would happen to him? He hoped they would not begin to notice his absence ...
Suddenly he felt that they were thrown over his back where they covered his eyes. He recognized that soft touch, smiled and turned to find her. He looked at her intensely.
-What's wrong with you? - Kitty immediately asked when she noticed something strange in her eyes.
-Nothing, why do you say it? - answered.
-Don't lie to me, something happens to you- she said seriously.
- Nothing of the other world, problems with the work ... every time it becomes more demanding - he answered. She knew that with "demanding" she meant a certain capricious...
Kitty came over and hugged him lovingly letting him know how much she loved and supported him.
-I appreciate a lot the sacrifice that you are doing and the risks that you run to be able to see us- she said sincerely.
-It's because you get the best reward - he said taking her chin - It's worth it - he added and kissed her tenderly.
-Come on, let's go to the roof- she said taking him by the hand as she wanted more privacy and to make the most of the time together.
- Do you remember that I mentioned you about the noble elite here? - she asked.
- Yes, in fact, if it hadn't happened, we wouldn't be living in such a bad time - he said.
-Of course, but I discovered something else, how it started ...
It should be noted that Kitty still did not tell him about the escape plan, she thought about telling him later.
-I hear you- said the interested.
- Did you know that this King has a sister? - she asked.
-I had no idea - he said surprised - What's her name?
-The Princess Amelia, in theory she is still a princess ... - he answered.
-Wow, what a nice name- Puss said because he had never heard it. His girlfriend nodded in agreement and continued.
-The current King threw her out because she was going to marry one of these nobles but the brother of the year snatched everything she had decided ... To be able to stay with the throne and plant his ideals - she said - Do you know how this works about the real families? I don't think that throwing someone of their blood is one of their customs.
-Only a little for what they have told us ... the one that remains without the throne is assigned a new sector or joins in marriage with another kingdom or influential family. If something happened to the current King, and still can't determine an heir, the brother or sister takes it - he said.
-And ... won't there be another method to dethrone? I mean, what he did is racism, discrimination and those things - she added.
She had an idea in mind but it was risky, on the other hand she needed to do justice and perhaps free people from her area.
-What do you have in mind, Miss Revolutionary?
-Just thinking about possible solutions - she said with a slight smile and Puss stroked her cheek.
- I think there is a kind of court ... but I don't know how it works - he said - But hey - he added to draw attention – Don't do anything crazy ... I do not want anything to happen to you ... - he said while Kitty was lost in the orange cat's gaze.
-Don't worry, I just investigate - she responded giving him a little kiss. He smiled
-How did you know this? - He asked curious.
-I found some old things, suits, weapons and a lot of paperwork - she answered.
- How strange that they have kept those things in fact we didn't even know that there was a division like that. Do you remember what kind of papers they were? - he asked again.
-Were logbooks- she remembered.
-There is! - He said - We logbooks to take control and backup of the things we have done, can't be deleted and review it once a year - he replied - Although I doubt that review that material in years.
- There must be a reason ... - she said thoughtfully.
- Maybe ... so that this did not fall into the hands of Princess Amelia ... because the most involved is the Princess - he proposed.
- It can be, it has logic besides that they were in charge of which nobody knew of the nobles - she said.
- It's a shame that happened, - he said.
-Yes ... -concluded - We wouldn't have had any problem in being together ... my grandfather belonged to them...
-Really? You didn't tell me that ... - he accused, scowling at her.
-It was a kind of surprise- she said laughing slightly.
-It's an honor to be in front of a lineage of nobles- he said making a curtsy that was funny to Kitty. She gave him a slight, playful shove. - How nice - She continued to laugh.
Puss was amazed to see her laugh, she looked so beautiful and give him those moments of gratitude inside all the bad that she lived, it made him happy.
- It's a pity that the nobles are no longer valued in anything- she said with a trace of sadness.
-But you mean much more than that, señorina - he said, the female cat smiled tenderly and rushed to hug him intensely causing them to lose their balance.
-Thanks - Kitty told him - Without you living here would be much worse.
He kissed his forehead tenderly - You don't have to thank.
They were lying down, Puss had her hugged while Kitty settled on his chest and with her other hand took the hand of her boyfriend, caressing him tenderly.
They continued talking about other things, for example, the orange cat told about what his work was doing when he was not a bodyguard and he had a partner, Joey. Puss told her how he came to work for the Royal Guard, which had cost him to enter since he didn't have a family support. Because he is an orphan and Puss was reared in an orphanage but always wanted to help the kingdom as a child, doing justice but unfortunately was disappointed to discover the different realities of the kingdom. The resignation wasn't an option because it was his only sustenance.
After talking about other topic, Puss realized that Kitty had fallen asleep, didn't want to disturb her because she slept so placidly that she looked even more beautiful, could not stop looking at her.
Puss had not realized until that moment how unhappy he was before knowing her, that is, the money gave the Royal Guard stability and nothing else ... he did not have a motivation ... not even Dulcinea because it was only an illusion where she took off profit at your convenience. And so much that his friend told him ...
Once again Puss kissed her on his forehead with great affection.
It was difficult to assimilate how things happened, it was never in his plans to fall in love with Kitty. In addition, he didn't imagine that he would "be" with the enemy of the kingdom. For him, since he assumed it... she never was. He understood those acts because she did it based on needs, it was easy to accuse them because they lived in a quiet way while in the low area only survived day to day, as Kitty had told him in several of their meetings...
She completely changed the vision of everything, she changed his world ...
