Part 7
The upcoming festival in the fae worlds is something Kitty is excited to attended and this is a change the others notice as usual, and many faes pay attention to Kitty thanks to her boss, Kitty would frown at this festival and hideaway. No, today, she´s happy and ready to show her new skills.
The Queen of faes is looking for a guard for her newest daughter. Between only herself and her most intrusive thoughts, Kitty knows the kid was not her real child. The Queen had her son, a prince with her fair hair and cruel eyes and many who were present in the birth of this cruel prince can testify how the pregnancy was a miracle in itself.
Among her most intrusives thoughts, Kitty ponders if this kid is not some poor kid a fae stole for the Queen. “In that case, what're the qualities a fae looks in a baby to give to a Queen?” she asks to herself and those questions are painting a not so flatter image of the faes.
She decides to focus on her training. The prince is sweating as according to Kitty, she needs to do well in this festival, if she is passable enough then yes, the prince is free, if not...
The prince is regretting all his choices at the same time is putting faith in his skils. Fae Kurt look at him with total disdain and always shows his fangs, the ones hide in the corner of his lips as if to give him a silent warning. Whatever the warning is, and the prince does not need the details here, the prince is sure of two things 1) the older fae hates him 2) faes can eat humans and this one can do this any minute.
“Katzchen, a really good move” Kurt compliment Kitty and indeed it was. Faes don´t lie. They can´t. “Not sure if it's good enough for the festival, but, you´d not need to win, just to impress” she nods and is pleased he can´t hear her at this distance because she can complain a little and safely without worrying for repercussion.
She comes towards her boss, again lack of better word here, and flashes a smile ignoring the prince who is not comfortable to be the third wheel and how is easy for him to be ignored(ironically, this is the very same feeling that leads him to the witch in the first place)
“The festival...Kurt, will you be there? To watch me?”
“Of course, I always watch you”
Ok. Not creepy. The prince thought and is now seeing the advantage of being completely ignored. The prince has some ideas in regards to the older fae´s intention with the younger one and honestly, the prince couldn´t care either way for any of them.
“She should get a new sword” the prince speaks as recalling something. “This sword is too old and has some marks here and it can be a problem in the festival” and this gets her attention.
“I can lead one of my swords to her”
“No need” Kitty speaks noticing Kurt´s peering stare. “I can get a new sword” and all the preparations are being discussed now. Kurt peering through her very soul as he asks. “who could lead you a sword?”
And this is an excellent question that she has no answer. Did she...No, of course not, it was a slip of her tongue. “I could get a new sword. The smith here has more swords than fingers”
Kurt narrow his eyes. “I´d not like his swords...do you dislike mine?”
“No, I just ...want to be a bit more independent”
“I see. Well, is not your life who is on the stake, but the prince, so, is your decision, Katzchen” Kurt speaks and now the prince is urging Kitty to accept the deal. And in the end, Kitty accepted without any protest as Kurt went to one of his residences and deliver a fine sword to Kitty.
He pulls her closer with his tail and whispers in her ear. “This blade has killed liars in the past, Katzchen, it will be a good match for you” and kissed her forehead as he watches her expression. Why is Kitty frighten now?
