Kattar- Chapter 2.
#3 of Kattar
Chapter 2.
As usual the palace was easy enough to get into, not many guards, and he was known enough to not be asked by anyone. Unlike any other house in Katter, the palace was made out of two rooms, each one with a giant tree in the middle, and a few hills, it was also rumored to have a third underground room, where the treasure was kept, but no one Nuri knew ever seen it, and Nuri himself didn't care much.
The first room was the guest room and the only room that Kattarian other then the king were allowed to see, the floor was covered with giant pillows, the trees was decorated with yellow leaves and other ornaments, the floor hills were covered in soft grass and flowers, the walls on the other hand were completely empty.
A sigh, Nuri hated this, such a waste of a night; he could be working right now... He closed his eyes, took a deep breathe and made his way towards the king, that was sitting on the giant tree. He claimed the tree without any problem, carefully not scratching it; the king was in view, a giant white cat, with short ears, that were said to be fake. Nuri could hardly care what the king as done to him self to feel better, he was not one to be around the palace all day and chat with other nobles, but a private person that kept to himself, the only time he came here was on the royal court night, when the law forced him to.
He came close to the king, and to saw respect and honor, he put his tail on his own shoulder, twisting it around his arm as much as he could, the king nodded to him, with a look that made Nuri sure the king had no idea who he was. Still, he gave the king the blessing all the others did, "I'm honored to be in your shining light my king", the king had a very bored look on his face, and he nodded again, dismissing Nuri to talk with the other cats in the room.
Nuri claimed down the tree, and looked around the room that was filled with people he knew, or should have. He finally found who he was looking for; a small orange cat was sitting on one of the grassy hills, he got close to her, on the way he put his tail on his shoulder again.
"Mother, it's been awhile"
"Really? I didn't notice"
"Cold as ever I see" he smiled at her.
A large Kattarian turned to look at him; it was Jiro, his mother current mate, they were tougher for a few months now, and like most Kattarian relationships it would soon to end.
"Jiro" Nuri nodded to the black-grey cat, "nice seeing you again".
The male nodded at to him and turned back to the other cat he was talking to before.
Sadly for Nuri, most of his better friends were from the rich classes than the nobility class and didn't need to show up for an event like this. He thought many times about abandoning his title and joining the rich class, he certainly had the money for it, but he figured being a noble helped him sell his works.
He looked at the sky from the roof window; the moon was already in the middle of it. "Good" he thought soon I can get out of here and go join my friends. He turned to his mother to tell her something, but she was already talking with Jiro and his friends. "Oh well, it wasn't important anyway", he licked his paw in the show of boredom.
The moon was soon to disappear from the roof window, which means the event will end, Nuri was bored out of his mind, in those five hours that already passed, he did completely nothing, he met a few of his distanced friends, and ate a few snacks. He finally went to sit on one of the grass hills and look at the people around him, in his mind he looked for possible mates.
It was long since he was with someone, ever since he started his three months work he was too busy to think about anything else, but now that he was done and the money was safely in his hill, his mind started wondering about the topic again, maybe it is time to meet a new guy, he looked at the crowed yet again, he knew the important who the more important cats are, and knew they wouldn't even look at him. He did have an advantage though; he was considered very good looking, with his green brown eyes and muscle tones.
The moon disappeared in the window, well, no luck tonight, he got up the hill and started to stretch to show respect to the king, after all, if he didn't it would seen he was not comfortable, he put his tail on his shoulder again as he passed the tree, and existed the hall with all the other nobles. Once outside he came back to his habit of sighing, and relished a long one, just as he thought he can finally get home, a guard bumped into him.
He was shocked, "how dare a simple guard get in his way", the guard quickly understood what he as done by Nuri's ceremonial clothes; he put his tail on his shoulder and looked directly on the ground. Nuri was tired, and didn't feel like yelling at the guard, he did give him a very long look that showed only anger, sighed and walked away.
When he got away he remembered the guards black eyes that were so stubborn not to look at him, he started shacking his head to get rid of the weird thought and began the long way home.
