Talios-Chapter 68: Unrelated
Jyn walked discreetly round the shelves looking for a certain book, green, with the Aman family insignia just three centimeters below the usual spot. After finding it he pushed it in revealing a dark passage, he activated his light crystal for illumination as he could barely see a thing, it would be sad if he stumbled upon an ancient skull of some scholar, although that should be impossible since this ’sacred’ chamber was in frequent use, but its never too much to play safe. After climbing down the stairs he found a brightly lit chamber, the ’legendary chamber’ as the Young Master would call it, a library, only a bit smaller than the one outside, it was now time to ’conquer’ this turf. He didn’t have much time, whilst ’conquering’ this current turf he had to be on the look out. This was the Aman Manor. It was already a grave sin that he wasn’t at his duty post, he might be a valet to the young master but he wouldn’t be spared.
He had snuck out of the Aman Manor’s annual festival. It was an occasion for joy and a means to share goodwill, but everyone knew it was just a medium for the Aman family to showcase their wealth and reinforce their dominance. Typical of an aristocratic family, typical of the Regional lords. Although this time around the young masters were now of age for their ’journey’.
It’s been three days already, and with the celebrations going on, Jyn now had the opportunity he’d been after, the opportunity to storm the ’sacred library’ not that he cared for it’s sacredness, just that Lynn wouldn’t stop rumbling about how ’sacred’ it was, to him it was just a chamber filled with books he had to get his hands on.
Jyn Rechiro, fourth kitten of the Rechiro couple, servants in charge of the kitchen. His father was the master chef and his mother was a scullery maid. They had met under the ’sauce fountain’ of young Mr Rechiro at the time, luckily it had been prepared the night before and had already cooled off. ’Sauce fountain’ as it was called by Mr Rechiro, was actually a bizarre incident . Mr Rechiro had been coming out of the kitchen with his bowl of sauce and bumped into her at the hallway leading to the outer courtyard, it spilled allover like a real fountain, the beautiful doe had just been brought into the manor and was being shown around. Watching the young buck before her seriously kowtowing in apology, she could not help but find it cute and thus their journey began.
Years later young Jyn was ’born’, he was the most beautiful kitten, he had sparking eyes_going by what his parents says that is. He did have fiery eyes though but as time went on he became confused, everyone had their own opinion on what his eyes looked like, today it’s sparkles, tomorrow it’s fierce at the same time it’s doe-eyed or its liquid. The heck it’s my eyes for crying out loud. Or maybe he was confused for nothing. At the end of the day it didn’t matter, he was still a Bronzed Tier and even if he caught the eye of some prestigious maiden he was just going to end up as a possession and nothing more. Not that he was considering all that though.
After the birth of their kits, The Rechiros worked their butts off for their sons to become footmen of the younger masters
"at the very least they’d get a decent status" they thought.
Their efforts did pay off, it was more than they had expected, their 2nd and 3rd sons had become footmen for the main branch of The Amans. Jyn on the other hand had caught the eye of Lord Aman and was appointed valet to the first young master. That in itself was unheard of.
Being a valet was a big thing in itself, their son was a smart kit, he loved reading, he kept at himself most of the time, but how had he become a valet? Maybe Being the fourth generation chief cook of the Aman Manor had its own flavors. But then when has it ever happened that a Bronze Tier 3 classed Bunny becomes a valet for a Silver Tier 3 Upper Master, that was fishy. But then their son had earned his position uprightly, clearing the tests he had to, but then he shouldn’t have even qualified to participate. Having their other sons work as footmen for the main branch would at least secure their future. But of course their first son was going to inherit the position of his father as chief cook as his father did his father, the position of chief cook had always belonged to their family, it’d been so for the past four generations, it was a legacy they intended to keep.
Jyn was three when he began ’learning’ along side the young master, his form of ’education’ was rather ’special’. He was a valet in training and had to be equipped for the service of the young master, he was to always be at his side.
Amongst the lively atmosphere and the buzzing crackers, and melodies and the beautiful choreography in the Aman Manor, a young buck, snuck back to the side of a certain individual. This individual was seated with a scroll in hand and was having a few sips of calm herbs tea. With a glimpse one could tell that he wasn’t an ordinary fellow he’d be an important figure at the very least, even he’s clothings spelled prodigality. He was a real prodigy a young one at that.
If one looked closely one would noticed that the young buck that had just emerged, had a particular charm to his eyes.
"Are you back?"
"Hmm" The young buck replied without any noticeable expression on his cute face. It was Jyn.
"How far have you gone?"
"I’m done"
"Pfft..." The young important figure was non other than the first young master of the Aman Manor heir to the estate. He couldn’t help but spill out his drink. This valet of his was a rare demon, a crazy fellow, it was enough that he was swift at foot, but did he have to be swift in books? He was the young master, was he not suppose to be the scholar, why did he always have to lose to this humble bragger.
"Comport yourself sir, you don’t want the young doe having a bad impression of you" the heck was wrong with this young master of his, every other young master would comport themselves in front of the Does, but his had to be so unreliable, after all the effort they had put into this, today was the D-day for crying out loud.
It was just a few books he had read, was there a need to be so shocked that he’d spill his drink? The heck..
Knowing the situation, Lynn composed himself and reverted back to his elegant disposition one befitting of an heir. As much as he didn’t want to admit it, that crazy fellow was right, nothing had to go wrong today. But he couldn’t help but feel stifle within, that clown might not think much of it but he knew just how many books were in that library, to have cleared them all with the time he took , even that monster at the academy would flee in fright, it seemed this clown of his was getting more monstrous as time passed. And what the heck did his valet mean by leaving an impression on the doe, it’s not like he cared what she thought, why did it make it seem like he was about to visit his future in-laws and had to leave a good impression. As much as today was D-day he wasn’t going for an introduction, at least not a marriage introduction, at least non that he knew of. But he had pressing matters to attend to right away, this freak of his can wait.
The young Miss of the Zeth Manor was finally here, she had the Angora bloodline. Those with the Angora bloodline were ravishing beauties, even the behemoths of the Golden tier couldn’t resist their alluring beauty. The Zeth Manor was a Silver Tier 3 lower classed family a Chinchilla breed, although it is rumored that an ancestor of theirs was an Angora breed resulting in the appearance of the Angora bloodline within their clan. So every born offspring with the Angora bloodline were regarded as a priceless jewel and were carried as such. She had their clans First Elder with her.

Back at the tower..
"What should I do now? " Lyn asked
Jyn rolled his eyes intensively but unnoticed.
The hell is wrong with this guy, how should I know, you’re the one with the scroll dammit.
"I think you should start with the formalities" Jyn responded all the same
"You’re going to have to be more specific ’young man’"
