《The White Cat Is His Majesty's Lover》Chapter 2
Advertisement
Wan Chen is known for his indifference and ice like face. His expression never waver and as calm as a lake. However, at this moment, it felt like a little peeble was thrown at the calm lake that it creates ripple, just like what his heart feels now.
Slowly, its head turn on his sight and open its eyes. There, his dark pitch orbs met the cat's bluish gray eyes.
That contact made his whole body stiffened. Although he already met other people's eyes, it only happened for a seconds because no one can stand staring his dark pitch except for his deceased parents and his grandfather. Other than them, no one dared but now, this cat . . . . He shook his head. That's an animal so it's probably an exemption.
But still, it's odd to see someone staring at his eyes directly and it also seems like the cat isn't afraid of him. Because he can't see fear lingering on its bluish gray, instead, its starting to spark and watered like its pleading on him.
That thought made him stiffened even more. That's also a first.
It needs help. He thought and look at it again. It looks like in real pain because of its silent hiss. The breathing is uneven while blood continue to stream on its body.
He sigh. He don't know what to do because he's not use to this. He doesn't care about anyone aside from his one and only family— he stilled. Right. He doesn't care so why is he not moving and leaving this cat infront of him? And in addition, he's really thinking how to help it which is very unusual.
He slightly shook his head upon realizing the thing that he's doing. He stood up once again and is ready to leave but the cat starts to meowing again like it's asking for help making his body stiffened again.
His eyes settled at the poor thing and once again, their eyes met. But this time, as he kept on staring at its pitiful state and pleading eyes, the young boy on his past whom he buried into the deepest inside of his soul starts to awaken. That young boy who has a soft heart for adorable things and that includes little animals such as cats especially because its giving him an eye that couldn't make anyone resist its cuteness.
And because his old past self is now completely awakened, it has been hypnotized by the thing on the ground. In the end, he found himself removing his black suit and using both of his gloved hands, he carefully took the wounded cat and made it nestled on his suit.
He opened the passenger's seat and gently put it on the chair. He heave a sigh once again because once the cat meowed at him again, he already know that he has been tamed— for the very first time aside from his special ones.
When he finally settled himself inside the driver's seat and was about to drive fast, the cat meowed again which made his usual fast maneuvering slow down.
He's careful in driving the car now so the bumps came from the bumpy road won't hurt his cat.
Yep. Now he's definitely admitting that the cat would be his.
...
inside the Wan Mansion, the old granpa is currently on his favorite wide garden. He's sitting on his favorite chair while waiting for his beloved grandchild to arrive.
After a couple of minutes, he heard someone's approaching but instead of looking back to see it, he continue to stare at the sky like no one sat beside him.

"Grandpa," a male voice called him but still, he didn't move.
"Grandpa, I am here to encourage you again to make my title back again. You see, I am your eldest grandchild so I have the rights to claim my title as the heir for the company. I maybe acted spoiled back then but I changed. I want to take over and I'll make sure to not disappoint you—"
"That's what you always said back then," He cut his grandchild off. Wan Nim is his eldest grandchild came from his eldest son— Wan Man. But because both of them spent all their years wasting wealth and irresponsible, he had no choice but to give all the responsibilities to his second son, Wan Wei. Fortunately, he didn't gave him any disappointment and he succeed to remain the Wan Empire Entertainment to the top of all top. Additionally, when his other grandchild— Wan Chen seated as the President, their popularity and rates increase even more until now so he's really happy that he didn't regret passing the original Heir from his eldest to his second.
Now that the eldest wants to have back what's its supposed to have, he won't allow it. Judging from what they've been doing in their life, they definitely don't deserve all his wealth!
"Grandpa—"
"Leave," He said once again.
Wan Nim grit his teeth in so much anger but he choose to shut his mouth instead. He stood up and slightly bow to the old man who doesn't seem to acknowledge his existing. In the end, he leave the Wan Mansion in so much grieve.
While walking towards his car outside, his forehead crease a little when a black sports car showed up. He definitely know that the owner of the car is Wan Chen but what made him curious is seeing how slow if its movement which is not his cousin's way. And even if his assistant— Mo Jun is the one who's driving, he wouldn't drive in so slow like this.
Out of curiosity, he waited outside his car to see who's driving. The car just stop in in the middle and as fast like a lightning, butlers and maid showed up on the sides to greet Wan Chen.
That sight made his mood worsen again. Although the butlers and maid acknowledge him, he can feel the special treatment from Wan Chen. And it made him tsked but still waited.
The door opened by the butler and he saw his cousin out from the black car that made him grit his teeth once again. He is becoming livid even just seeing his posture. The way he move felt like he is the King and he's just nothing.
"Bastard . . . ." He whispered but the next thing happened shock all of them. Instead of leaving after giving the keys to the butler, he strode his way to the other side of the car and open the other door. Wan Chen lean down as if he's getting something inside and he's really is!
Their jaws almost drop when they saw his coat on his arms. He put it around like there's something inside it and when they heard a cat's voice inside, their soul felt like it left their body.
The way he carried his coat gently and how his hand that still wearing his black glove caress the cat's head felt like the one who's standing infront of everyone is not his cousin— which is not!
He never seen his cousin showed its gentle side— if he really has— to anyone. He knows that Wan Chen only cared for the company and to their grandfather but seeing him actually carrying a cat baffled them.

"Prepare the medicine kit." His menacing voice made them out of reverie and the maids immediately move.
"W-What medicine kit? Are you hurt, Master?" The Head Butler asks but Wan Chen just look at him and glance at the cat on his arms. The Butler understand but it means and called a maid.
"Come here! Take this cat to inside and cure—"
"No need."
Everyone stilled again. They are confuse by what he said and all of them has one thought, 'What do you mean by no need?'
The King notice their gazes so he speak once again before leaving,
"I'll be the one to take care of it."
"!!!"
"M-Master—"
"Butler Lin, bring the medicine kit to my room." After he said those words, he went inside the mansion leaving them bewildered.
All of them has one thought again, 'How did that cat made the King softens?!'
Everyone who saw the cat on the King's arms felt too much bewilderness to the point that it looks like they've seen a ghost. Their body went solid rock that they forgot to take a bow and greet their Master when it passed through them.
Wan Chen doesn't seem to mind though. He continue to walk upstairs without even going straight to the garden where his grandfather's waiting for him.
By the time that he's in the middle of the staircase, the cat made a hissing sound again indicating that its in pain so his steps go fast until he reach his room.
Meanwhile, even if the Head Butler is still confuse by his Master, he followed him inside the room while holding the medicine kit. But again, after he saw what Wan Chen do for the next second, he became a statue standing still on the doorway.
The black Queen-sized bed on the center of the room which they clean everyday because their Master wants to change the bedsheets every other day— that's why its neat and looking very fresh— and he just abruptly put his blood-stained coat on the carpeted floor and let the cat nestled on the sheets.
". . . ." He really wants to say anything but left awed. Other than making his bed neat, he never wanted anyone to sit or lurking around so when someone cleaned, their movements must be fast as lightning.
But looking how the cat simply lay down on the bed, the Head Butler didn't know what to say anymore so he just settle the matter first.
"Bring it over," He ordered and the latter went straight. As he starts to pick up the cotton and some ointment, Head Butler speaks, "Do you want me to take over, Young Master?"
He shook his head, "Buy some cat food and bring it here."
"Cat food . . ." He realize upon looking at the wounded cat, "How about you? Do you want to take dinner too?"
He just nod and signaled the Butler to leave. When they are alone already, he starts putting the coated cotton on the wound on its left leg. He was still wearing his gloves as he silently mending the cat who keep on hissing in pain.
"Meow!" The cat groaned and flinch at him. He stop for a while and look at his pet. When their eyes meet again and he saw the pain on its eyes, he lean down his head and gently blow comforting breathe and continue putting the medicine.
Probably because of his warm breathe and his soft movements, the cat went in silence but its fluffy tail wiggle slowly.
This was the scene that the Butler and the two maids who was about to go inside. The one is holding a tray of food for the Master's dinner and as much as she wants to let the tray go out of shock, she doesn't have the coutage to do so or else, she'll be fired immediately. The other one is holding a box contains the cat's food and other stuffs that it needed. Just like the first one, she felt like her knees wobble.
This is definitely not their Master!
The Head Butler who was shock too but recovered immediately. He was fast to adjust the sudden changes but he'll admit that it baffle him too. Who knows that this cat is the only way for them to see this side of Wan Chen?
He never softens to anyone or anything. But seeing the scene happened, he silently thank the Gods for making the things that seemed impossible to possible.
Wan Chen stop from what he is doing and his expression turn into stern. His cold eyes held at the three person on his doorstep. When the three felt that stare, they starts to move and put the things that they brought on the round glass table on the side.
Head Butler signaled the two which left in a swift movement. Even if they wanted to watch him, they rather leave than staying and feeling its menacing stare.
He was about to say something but his words left on his mouth when he saw how the bandage was originally wrapped normally but when the cat meowed softly, like a gentleman, he untangled it again and made the end tied like a little cute ribbon.
That sight made his eyes shaken but he chose to clear his throat and brought the cat's food inside a small bowl and handed it to Wan Chen. He also prepare warm milk to another bowl but both of them went in confusion when they saw the cat didn't move.
It was just staring at the food and its tail stop wriggling.
"Why?" Wan Chen asks but after a couple of seconds on staring at the food, its head turn away like it didn't like what's infront.
When Wan Chen look at the Butler, he reluctantly explain what happened. He's not sure to what he'll say because all his life, he only took care of humans, not animals like cat.
"Maybe the cat don't want to eat?" He said in hesistance.
"What does it want, then?"
"Well. . ." His gaze unconsciously went to the other food on the table and realize something.
"It's a stray cat, Young Master. Mostly, cats that's used on living on the streets preferred to eat human's food," He explained and he just want to sigh. Another side of Wan Chen that he sees tonight. An innocent one.
"Bring it over," When he gave the tray and watch how Wan Chen just pick up a dumpling using the chopstick and abruptly shove it towards the cat's mouth, he want to slap his own face.
"Y-Young Master,"
"Hiss!" The cat also hiss in anger and turn its head away from the food.
"You don't like this too? What do you want to eat?" Wan Chen asks and he wants to say something when he pick up the meat on the soup and aim it just like what he did earlier. And for the second time around, the cat made a hissing sound and it look more annoyed.
"Young Master," He took his courage to say once again and luckily, Wan Chen looks at him.
"The cat is wounded and it can't just put eat bigger food like that. You have to make it tiny to make it eat easily," He explained. Wan Chen blink at his remarks and honestly, he resembles the young boy on the past.
His eyes softened. Ever since Ye Fei— Wan Chen's mother gave birth, he saw how this menacing King past self. He witnessed how the young boy who just wanted to play around with adorable things turned into cold and like a lifeless human being.
He sigh and look at how the King made the dumplings and meat into tiny pieces using the chopstick and the knife on the side. And this time, when he aim the chopped meat on the cat, its eyes glistened in sparks and immediately took the food and eat happily.
Its tail starts to wriggle again and its ears raise adorably.
As he was looking at it, there was a knock on the door and a maid comes in. She's holding a paper bag and handed it to him then left.
And when he saw what's inside, he realize something,
"Master, may I ask if it's a male or a female?" When he say that, Wan Chen stop from feeding it and stare down at the cat's who's currently munching the meat with dumpling.
Just then, he knew that his master don't know too. Why didn't they realize that sooner anyway?
Ah! I finally had a time but the midterm isn't finish yet! Thursday until Saturday is a hell day!
There aren't too much change, right? Wait for the next chaps and there'll be huge changes!

The Ruined Monks of Rothfield Monastery
Erin is the youngest member of the dark monks; a supernatural brotherhood whose ultimate mission is to improve the dire circumstances of poor, war-torn villages using powers unique to each member. Or so he was led to believe. Erin, like his brothers, does not age, and that is, unfortunately, the only trait he shares with them. He cannot charm or compel like Woodrow, he cannot cast illusions like Knox, he was not swift like Swithin, not powerful like Blake. He was barely an assistant to his dear brother Wilbur, with his herbology and alchemy. He was told to lie low and make himself scarce. That is what he did. The dark monks temporarily reside in abandoned monasteries scattered around the country, feeding the poor and healing the sick, nurturing the monastic lands until it was fertile enough to raise crops and rear animals. As the years passed, they would leave these reformed, repopulated, self-sustaining monasteries and venture froth to help the next settlement. Yet, after years of toiling and quiet servitude, Erin notices that people and the country itself are declining. The villagers look gaunt, the once-lush soil now barren and cracked. He begins to feel disheartened, thinking that their mission is proving futile. Still, their leader Blake is steadfast and charges onward, and lately has his eyes set on a certain monastery in a thick, thorned forest that seems to diminish, even nullify their powers. A thick forest that Erin somehow has a connection to. A thorned glade where an ethereal voice calls his name with one simple request along with a promise:Heal the land, child. Heal the land and I promise to give you sanctuary so long as you stay. I promise to nurture you as you nurture me. As Erin cultivates the land, the land, in turn, gifts all its caretakers with new, enhanced skillsets on top of their unique powers -- skills of protection, healing, and magic. Magic. Erin had long wished to see the world fill with it again. The people, regardless of common or noble blood, still believe that magic will enter this world again. Magic to bless the king like it did the Saints. Magic to dispel the miasma befouling the world. Magic to bring back the fae folk and their many forms. It is up to Erin to forge the many paths leading to a bright future; to build a prosperous paradise that welcomes all races and bloodlines, by mastering the rewards gained through agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, smithing, crafting, and fishing. Erin may also find a lifelong friendship and romance with his neighbor, Claude, if he decides to pursue him, and may even join him in the military campaign outside the monastery. The darkness still lurks outside, after all, and the mastery of his skills, along with a few good friends, may finally be enough to turn the tide in their favor. Most of all, Erin wants to keep the vow he set for himself: to protect everyone and everything he loves until his dying breath.
