Chapter 13: A key piece

- Kitty! - He called her but she didn't listen to him because of the noise, although she turned around feeling someone watching her.

Finally, Puss could contact those blue eyes similar to the sapphire, her eyes widened in surprise when they met with Puss's eyes.

She didn't bother to look around, she just wanted to have her Royal Guard, she ran to him without even thinking about it and he did the same. Puss received her in his arms when she launched herself, held her from the waist with both hands, both turning. When they stopped, Kitty placed her hands on his cheeks, the emotion didn't speak because they couldn't believe it after so long trying to find each other.

- Puss ... - he said softly - Tell me this isn't a lie...

- No, it's not - he assured her - I missed you so much Kitty ...

- Me too - he said with a wide smile.

Puss and Kitty was so happy that they didn't even wait to kiss passionately. The female cat caressed the back of his neck with her soft paws. When separated for air. Puss continued to give small kisses making a travel of her neck causing a tickle to his girlfriend.

He missed doing that to her and having Kitty so close, Puss was enjoying her company.

- I've been looking for you for weeks, I was about to go to the palace to hear about you - Kitty told him, in the last few days she had raised it several times.

- You really would have risked to see me? - Puss asked between happy and annoyed, that is, it showed that she really loved him and it made him happy. But Puss didn't want anything to happen to her because of him.

- Of course! - she answered looking at him as if it was obvious. Although he raised an eyebrow - I know, I know! I just would have done it to know how you were ... - she added and he continued to look at her strangely - Puss I didn't even do it! Only because you asked me!

The orange cat laughed lightly - I don't blame you anyway - he reassured her - I looked for you a lot, I didn't know what had happened to you after what happened in the tavern.

-Again... Do you have so little faith in me? - she asked falsely hurt.

He shook his head - Obviously I trusted you and your skills, only it's very dangerous, they tripled security everywhere - he explained - Although that doesn't matter now, at this moment I care about you - he said hugging her again . They stayed that way for a while.

-How are things over there? - Kitty asked.

-Insufferable - he replied - Let me tell you the details in a more private place ...

- If it's so ... - she said playfully - I know the ideal place!

Kitty took her boyfriend's hand and dragged him out of there, they ran through several rooms even once they almost fell down to avoid hitting a group of friends ...

- That was close - Puss said without stopping laughing. He needed this.

- Uhh. On the other side! - Kitty said a little hasty, he didn't know the reason until he saw his friend with Claire sitting at a table sharing a dinner.

Both slipped for the change of direction they had to do, in addition to fighting to regain their balance. They hoped not to have attracted attention because they happened to take a few cats who complained.

-Sorry! - Puss apologized.

The female cat walked again and went up the stairs, they entered through some rooms to go to a balcony.

- Uff - said exhausted Kitty leaning on the wall - It was close.

-Yes - Puss agreed equally exhausted trying to recover air - I think we should soon tell him our thing, don't you think?

-I agree with you but let's wait a little longer - she said. The orange cat gave her a small kiss caressing her cheek.

-I liked the place you chose - he said looking into her eyes.

-It's not the big deal but at least we can chat without interruptions - she said.

Where they were, the balcony was just in front giving a view of the small garden of the secret place although it was dark there were fireflies swarming around, giving a beautiful touch to the environment.

- It's nice, here there are few beautiful sectors and more with such nice company - he said and Kitty looked at him tenderly.

- Did I say I love you or not? - she asked and Puss again approached her to kiss her affectionately.

- Yes - he answered - I love you too.

They were sharing a good time, didn't pay attention to the details about the days they were separated, just wanted to make up for lost time. There were times when they were silent enjoying each other's company.

A few minutes later Kitty was sitting on the balcony railing facing the garden and Puss to be able to catch up with her and be able to hold her from behind, he climbed into a box looking towards the same place as her.

- There were days when I felt scared ... - the orange cat said after several minutes of silence.

-Why? - she asked.

- As the measures they took here had hardened, every day they took someone to jail ... And I had no news from you but luckily it wasn't like that.

-Yes, things were complicated over there too, but they'll need more than one guard to put a finger on me - she said determined.

He loved the way his girlfriend reacted to such situations. He smiled.

-And what about me? - He joked.

- Ah, that's different - she laughed - You have privileges with me - continued the joke causing him to laugh.

-Wow lucky I am - he said kissing her cheek and the female cat leaned on him, taking one of Puss's hands to caress the back.

- You still haven't finished telling about how things are in the palace - Kitty said.

- Uff... we have more shift than usual, it's exhausting - he replied - I want to go from there, sometimes I don't even tolerate one more day being inside.

-Why do I get the impression that this princess is involved? - Kitty asked remembering the time the princess was talking to him with other intentions.

-You are right, it overwhelms me whenever she can and that I have told her repeatedly to keep her distance - he said.

-It's strange ... - she said thoughtfully.

-Why? - he asked.

-If she overwhelms you so much, it's because she wants something. What will it be?

- No idea, maybe she's just crazy - Puss said and his girlfriend laughed heartily.

- Can I ask you something? - Kitty said.

- Whatever you want - he told her.

- You were in love with that princess? - asked the black cat taking him by surprise and staying in silence. Kitty turned her face to look at him – Don't worry, I just want to know, I always had that doubt and imagine that your life was different before you knew me. I mean emotionally.

Of course, there was no doubt, it was the opposite before knowing her.

-Yes, I was or I thought so - he answered - Joey scolded me all the time telling me that it wasn't even worth having feelings for her, because she didn't want me ... It was nothing worse than being in love with an illusion...

- So like that? - she asked without taking his eyes off, she turned her whole body to face her boyfriend and took her hands affectionately, she could feel the sadness that had caused him.

The sadness she had seen several times in their meetings.

-Yes, she never loved me, just used me - he told her - But that time I accompanied her on a tour, I suffered a lot ... I was excited, it would be an opportunity to relate better to her and something could grow. That helped me to open my eyes ... then you came ... of course it was a little complicated because before that, I had run into you and you stirred my thoughts - Kitty smiled at that - When I decided to avoid her, she noticed the distancing.

-Oh, of course, after hurting yourself and realizing that you were ignoring her, she takes notice of you - she said.

- Something similar was what Joey told me - said Puss.

-And he is right, she is very used to everyone being at her mercy, for that reason she reacts in that way, regardless of whether she hurt you, didn't even know how to prizes you, more like you are - she added a little annoyed, she hated that kind of people who despised the rest.

-Thank you for those words - the cat said leaving a kiss on her forehead.

-It's ... I don't like it when they're like this with the rest. Before we started our thing ... I could see that something was happening to you, every time we had a "casual" meeting, your look was duller ... - she said - But. How often does she bother you?

- She comes up to me sometimes, I ignore her and although I told to leave me alone but she doesn't do it, I don't know what she wants - she answered.

- Or what she is looking for - suggested Kitty thoughtfully.

- Even… she suspects that I have someone - he said a little worried. She was alarmed to hear this.

- Puss ... be careful with her ... she shouldn't plot anything good if she is looking for you persistently - she said.

- Calm down, I'll have it - he assured and the female cat hugged him and her head resting on his chest.

-If something happens to you, I told you I won't answer for my actions - she said.

-Kitty...

-I'm sorry, I can't leave something like this lightly - she defended herself - If she was able to use you, now she looks for you and suspects you are in a relationship –said Kitty - And the last thing is true ...

Puss just watched her, it felt good that someone like her should worry about him that way. He remembered the words of the prince's friend of the tour had told him "The one who has the least can give you more", now he found her right. Kitty doesn't have great things materially speaking and he didn't care. It has never been of interest to Puss; as Dulcinea offered indirectly, power, money, etc. Superficial things but emotionally speaking Kitty gave him something more valuable.

- Do you know you have a big heart? - Puss said taking his girlfriend for surprise, because he changing the subject, Kitty looked at him with curiosity - Thank you for your concern, for everything you have given me - he said - But lose care about Dulcinea, if she plans something, I will be careful - Puss assured her while she was lost in his eyes.

-Hey, don't take away your merit… You were the one who let me go on more than one occasion and it's because you have a big heart in there - she said- You are fair and have noble feelings that is why you are the most beautiful thing that has crossed in my life, more valuable than all those luxuries they have in that palace.

They both approached, Kitty leaned her forehead against him. Although she was still bothering what she had find out about Dulcinea, she didn't like the suspicion the Princess had about Puss.

Surprisingly the orange cat took her in his arms to lower her from the railing of the balcony, instinctively Kitty held of Puss's neck almost hanging, just leaning with one foot on the ground, because her boyfriend took her to the side, in this way he had Kitty fully in his arms and came over to kiss her.

Claire and Joey were enjoying their evening after lunch, they were talking in the tavern.

- I'm glad to know we already have all the carts ready - said the golden cat.

- Me too and it was a huge effort - she said - We only need the food, medication and the date of escape.

- How many people will escape? - he asked.

- One hundred ... according to the list - she replied remembering.

- We are a lot ... what a pity that not everyone can leave with us - said Joey - Hopefully we can help them soon, when we are outside. What do you think?

- Now that you mention it - Claire said - I couldn't tell you, but Kitty found a letter in the house of the passage, talks about how things were before this King took the throne. It was very different, the most important thing is he wasn't the heir to the throne, it was his sister, the princess Amelia, and she was the legitimate one to ascend...

Joey was shocked, because what he had just heard and continued to listen to his girlfriend - We believe that if we find out about the princess. We can find a way to recover her own and we can rescue the rest and improve things in this kingdom. She was the complete opposite of what this shoddy King is.

- Awesome! - He said very happy, it was very good news - Whatever we need ... I will do everything possible to achieve it!

- Unfortunately it's the only thing we have, don't know anything else - said Claire distressed.

- My love, it's great, it's true that it's not much, but it's a start - he encouraged her - I'll take care of investigating in the palace, maybe there I'll be lucky I can even ask for help from Puss.

- But…

- Yes, we'll be careful - Joey put forward - If we manage to overthrow this king ... it would be great - he said very enthusiastically.

- Of course… if we get this information when we get out of here and we'll have the sign of where to leave - she said and he nodded in agreement.

- Well ... I'll leave you at home - said Joey - I have to take shift soon.

- You wouldn't have come, I could hope to see you tomorrow or when you could, it isn't necessary you sacrifice your time of rest - Claire told him sadly.

- You know that it isn't a problem for me to see you and to get home safely - he said kindly - I will be calm if it's so.

The golden-toned cat used another type of cloak to camouflage himself, took the hand of his girlfriend to guide her. They had to be careful because there were guards everywhere thanks to recent events and Joey knew the areas they patrolled.

Once he left Claire at home, they talked a couple of things before saying goodbye her girlfriend. Joey was motivated for the new information about Princess Amelia, she was the key and if they found out more could improve the lives of many. He had that goal in mind, an idea where he could look, Joey knew that there are records in the palace and what better hiding than a library. That would need Puss's help to cover him.

He entered the barracks and was surprised to find his friend sitting who was drinking hot milk.

- Wow, I thought you'd be in the tavern - Joey said - Hi Puss.

- Hello Joey - he greeted him - From there I come, I arrived twenty minutes ago or so.

- You'll notice that you did well - he insinuated to see him so happy.

Puss sometimes forgot that his friend was very perceptive, also knew him as if it were his brother.

- I had a good time today. Just that - he said simply.

- Yes, I believe you - Joey said ironically.

- Fuck you - Puss said knowing that he was bothering him to extract more information.

- Ok, I leave you in peace then - said in a joking tone - But it's true I need your help and it has to be now - said determined.

- What did I miss? - He asked curious.

Joey searched for the right words to summarize his plan.

- I need to find information about the royal family and their records - he answered and Puss was surprised to hear the sudden plan.

- What do you want? Explain yourself better - asked the interested.

- What happens is Claire told me that the King has a sister, Princess Amelia who is the true heir to the throne but you see that it didn't happen - he said - If we have enough evidence we can help the kingdom ... It is the key!

Of course, Puss knew about this because Kitty had already mentioned it to him and unfortunately, he hadn't been able to investigate much since he was more concerned about looking for Kitty, he was also the new measures, he couldn't investigate alone and couldn't tell Joey, he would ask where he got that information.

- I think it's a great idea - he supported - But where do you intend to look for that?

- I have a notion where to start - answered Joey - According to what I understand those records have always existed but being information that doesn't suit the King, they hid it and I think it may be in the palace library, there is a winery that doesn't is allowed to enter.

- Yes, it's likely to be there - he said thoughtfully.

- We only need that for now - said Joey - But it has to be today in the night shift, because from here to when we'll have to wait to coincide again.

- Let's do it - said the orange cat equally determined.

The Royal Guards were prepared to enter their round, it was beneficial that they could walk together doing the surveillance without suspecting anything. Obviously, they didn't immediately go to the library. First, they walked through the garden and the early morning was very cold noticing the winter. Then they went to the first floor of the palace, the place was completely silent only his footsteps were heard.

-I think it's time - said Joey and his friend nodded in agreement.

They went carelessly to the library, this was giant, had many high shelves that contained large amounts of books of all kinds and different languages.

-It's huge - Puss said in astonishment, in his case he had never been there, the opposite of Joey since he had investigated the key of the house of the passage he knew a little more about the palace and its secrets.

- Same thing I said the first time I came - said Joey - Let's hurry up, I don't know where that door is.

- It seems to you if I look for this side and you for the other - Puss proposed.

-Yes, let's go - he said.

Their search wasn't so long since they found the entrance hidden in a corner, it was behind a shelf only had a few centimeters between the door and the furniture. Puss with a little difficulty opened the lock of the cellar and saw that it slid open.

- I'll cover the entrance in case someone comes - said the orange cat.

-Good idea - he said - Anything if they come ... the key word will be "winter" - he added entering with a lamp that he took out of there and lit at that moment. Puss went to his place.

Joey illuminated the area and could notice that there were several furniture with a kind of folder. As expected, they were covered in dust.

He decided to take out a pair and left it on a dusty table to start reading. It was about recent information, or better said, about the births of the King's daughters and the death of their queen.

He was reading many things, incident, birthdays, field trips. Then he noticed a certain pattern of order between the events in the folder, so he left the one that didn't help him in its place and looked for others.

- "The ancestors of King Antonio" well ... I think I went far back - talked to Joey himself and started leafing through - Or maybe not ... I think something help for us! It's the family tree! - He exclaimed happily. There was a couple of texts where it spoke about the origin and his bloodline. You could see King Antonio paired with his Queen and the offspring they had. He read a little more and ... Bingo!

- Son of King Sebastian who had two sons… The newly appointed and current King Antonio and his sister Amelia ... - read the golden cat cheer - At least, it's confirmed there was that princess, now we only need a paragraph that confirms her right to the throne ...

He searched through other folders, it took him several minutes until he found something that caught his attention.

- The exploits of King Sebastian and his legacy - Joey read.

Puss was a little nervous about this situation because if they were caught in these wanderings about they were investigating the King's family, both would be fried and accused of treason. Although ... he had to admit that he was still excited about this, maybe that's what Kitty felt when she did her activities. He couldn't help but smile at the memory.

- Oh Puss, what are you doing on these sides? - asked one of his companions.

- Hello - he greeted cordially - I was giving several laps and I stopped for a while to rest, then go up to the next floor. And what about you?

- Well, they sent me to take care of the entrance - he answered.

- Good luck with that, now that it's winter, it's very cold outside - said the orange cat.

- Yes, it's true - he agreed - Hey is it true what they say? - He asked a little hesitantly.

- About what? - He said surprised.

- That you and the Princess Dulcinea are in something? - he asked.

This disturbed Puss he didn't expect such gossip.

- Where did you get that? - he asked puzzled.

- I heard it, one of the servants said it - he answered - And it has been commented there.

- I can't believe it - Puss said equally puzzled.

- But it is true? - His partner asked - Because if it's like that, be careful ...

- Of course it's not true! - He said a little angrily - I don't know where they got that, the only closeness I have to the Princess is friendship!

- Well - said surprised - It seemed true, the maid who said it was somewhat exalted.

- Let me guess, was one of the closest to the princess - he said pissed.

- Yes, it was her - he confirmed.

Puss rolled his eyes. Who more than Dulcinea could have divulged such a thing? To what end? Not the remote idea.

- Well Puss, I have to go - he said - I'm glad that it's a lie, don't get bitter and ignore those gossips.

- Thanks - he replied - And goodbye, you have a good shift.

His companion left the place, waited for him to get out of sight and exhaled frustrated, he wasn't going to let such a gossip ruin the night.

- Joey, there are no Moors on the coast - he said almost in a whisper and his friend came out.

- Uff, I got very nervous, when I heard winter - he said - I also heard the rest of the conversation ...

- Don't care, she says what she wants, it's her word against mine and there's no evidence - he said with a cold head.

- She's crazy - said Joey shaking his head - Reminds me of an ex.

Puss had to contain the laughter when remembering; it was as if it were yesterday.

- That doesn't matter anymore - he said when recomposing his composure - How did you go? – Puss asked.

- Excellent - said with a smile - I'll tell you the details in the barracks.
