Chapter 43
WIth a gagged Cat-kin and my two ladies, we were down the road for hours looking out for any pressures. It was weird that no one was following up on the Cat-kin or anything. Maybe she worked alone or maybe no one knew what she did? I wasn't sure but we were entering deeper into the Empire. It shouldn't be too long I thought as we walked down the road.
We were quiet as a merchant train started to slowly creep up behind us as we walked the road. Not long after we say grain in wagons heading the same direction. More and more traffic passed or were in vision as we walked. Many looked at the Cat-kin tied behind me and promptly ignored the situation. No one wanted to bother and simply minded their own business. 'This was refreshing' I thought simply wishing back in my previous incarnation that this was more prevalent. I even had a backup fund for lawyers and stuff with bribes for those with too open of mouths. You see something you shouldn't keep your fucking mouth shut. In a modern society that should be more prevalent but mentally unstable people think that they should be 'Good Samaritans' then I have to hire someone to snuff and innocent.
This cost me money and made my profile come up needlessly. It was a hassle and not a major problem for major crime syndicate back in the previous incarnation. It took an assassination of corrupt officials surprising me to finally take me out. I laughed at that while walking down the road only to receive some stares for laughing at nothing. I was a little stuck thinking of the past. I was doing this more lately as I was now on the 'Straight and Narrow' I almost laughed out loud again as we were reaching the city walls. The talking was limited and my extra baggage would probably get a second look from the city guards.
We finally reached the Border City of the Empire. The Name I completely forget and couldn't care I will stay only a couple of days maybe pick up a quest and register in the Slave Masters Guild. I still had problems with the Kingdoms Guild but I should be fine in other countries. We were now in line with the city guards taking taxes and identities. With the tension on the borders, it was probably going to take longer. So I decided to unhook my new trendy Cat-kin Backpack and let her legs move. I never searched her I realized and started to pat down and check before loosening any more restraints. I was not kind as I left no body part unchecked I felt some things and moved hands into clothes to remove various weapons she was hiding. Her look was even more miserable now as I unequipped many hidden weapons that I was surprised. I should have done this earlier but she couldn't move anyways with the way I tied her up.
After I finished I started to untie the backpack part and use it to create a new tie ready to bind her with so that she could move but I had control. I only needed some time to let the blood flow properly so that it didn't cause permanent injuries. She was my new Kitty I needed to take care of her.
Finally, I unbound her and put in new restraints so that blood could flow properly. I stood her up and rechecked her body again without the ropes only to find that I found everything. I was tempted to strip her and humiliate her but decided against it. I was wanting her for myself and the excitement of a new pet was making me giddy. The line continued and my new pet still gagged was moving around loosening her muscles. She will need a bath the heat will help everything.
Finally, we reached the gates to the city and I paid a gate tax or four and when the guard pointed at my new Cat-kin I looked at him with a smile.
"This little Kitty tried to stab us in the night, Such a bad Kitty is about to be punished and retrained to a good Kitty!" My excitement was getting to me I was so happy about my new procurement. The guard shivered to look at my smile and look of excitement. He looked at the Cat-kin with an expression of pity.
"Girl you messed with one of the crazy ones, Good Luck you will need it." I was a bit miffed as the Cat-Kin looked at him with pleading eyes.
"Who are you to call me crazy? Fuck it whatever I don't want to start a fight here its not worth it," I talked myself out of it in front of them. I was not crazy I was just happy with a new pet. Oh? I had a thought and I smiled and looked at her and the guard was still in hearing range. "I thought of how I am going to train you, Kitty!" I clapped now starting the training and I saw the guard look back and he looked at a person about to hang when he looked at that Cat-kin and shook his head.
I then took a moment to scratch under her chin with a smile, "You are going to love your new life, Kitty!" I exclaimed loudly and pulled her along into the city to look for an Inn. Preferably A Slave Masters Inn I heard about for traveling Slaver's It was a border city it should have one.
I asked some questions to some residents and finally, I was in the upper area of the city for those traveling through with more money called the Slaver's Inn. It was not common in the Arlin Kingdom for them to be this forthright in it but I guess the Empires guild didn't care or the person running this Inn didn't care. I paid handsomely for the Inn a training room and a Bathing room up front for at least five nights. I had a new Cat-Kin to break in and start her training. The Kitty was shivering behind me as the Slave Masters around me were all asking if I was selling such a good specimen and I kept rejecting them.
"Come on, This one looks fresh it will take time lady and you look like your traveling and are young leave this Cat-kin to the professionals to train." This large man earned my Ire calling me unprofessional with a backhand comment.
"Look Dipshit, I captured this little Kitty a day ago. She tried stabbing my little Sissy. Now you want to take my procurement? Are you fucking stupid I am so excited about my new Kitty to train. So I give you one warning and everyone in this Tavern will hear my declaration. You will fuck off and stop bothering me or I will kill you where you stand. I give you six seconds after I finish this sentence to go sit your ass down." My threat didn't seem to reach him as I sounded like a fifteen-year-old girl with a cute voice. Granted I was but that wasn't the point. I started to count slowly and he towered above me with Freya and Stacy looking at him like an Idiot. My tigers were in the room as well but no one seemed to look at them. I thought in the back of my head 'No wonder they called Phantom Tigers'. It reached one and he stood there towering over me and I barely moved as muscles twitched and a dagger left my cloak using energy and entered into his heart.
The Man fell to his knees and died. I looked at him like the trash he was. "Fucking Idiot can't tell what's good for him," I said loudly everyone in the establishment hearing and they all went back to eating making sure to keep a distance away from me.
"Look Innkeeper clean this up make us some good food and some Kitty treats for my little slave here." I dropped a good bribe and workers came out from the back. They promptly cleaned up the mess and the Inn Keeper looked at me with a smile.
"Ma'am Someone as respectable as you deserve the best service let me upgrade to our best rooms at no charge," I almost laughed as they realized I am not poor Slavemaster and people took our bags and escorted us to our rooms. I tipped a gold coin to the workers and we sort of unpacked our backpacks. I was going to resupply and get ready for the next trip in a couple of days but first I had a new slave to break in. I looked at her with a smile judging whether I should start tonight or tomorrow. I was so excited thinking about it.
The Food came in while I was contemplating with waiters from the inn placing it on a table in the room. This was the best room I guessed and I looked around before they entered with an attached bath that was being filled with magical enchantments. The other being an attached training room much like mine in my home. There were goodies I didn't have and ones that were missing but all together good. I was super happy with the arrangements. I looked to my new kitty all gagged probably starving and I contemplated with happiness.
