Bab 53: Stinky boys
The Banquet came to a close; the guests were shown to the exit with a few trinkets. The host; old madam Kai, the honoured guest; Kai Zephyra and the young master; Au Fuji stood and watched the guest leave. The servants in the background felt — down to the last one, that their young miss has become official.
"Our young miss has finally become officially a Kai." Excitedly a young servant girl announced while helping clear away the dishes. Another nearby pouted her lips, thinking to herself about what had occurred a few hours prior. During the banquet, she did not miss those parents and young heirs who kept eying their young miss. She could not help but grumble, "En, now we have to look out for those stinky boys." around her were several exclamations. Embarrassed by this, the little servant bowed her head, hoping she would not be punished for saying such a thing, but another servant girl feeling just as disgruntled spoke up next. "You are right, those stinky boys might try luring her away."
"En."
"En, true."
"Yes, you are right."
Many others agreed while diligently doing their work, even doing it slightly faster. It is good the young miss has been accepted, yes, but the Banquet made her stand out too much. What if she is taken away?
What will they do?
She is such a thoughtful little master, after all. It is rare to find such a master. They may be greedy but in this world, they as servants wish to only live comfortably serving a master that would not mistreat them. "We have to speak to the young miss about those stinky boys!"
"Yes, we should tell her how those stinky boys actually are."
"En, mothers-in-law are also women that are hard to please."
"It would be-" a middle-aged servant became horrified suddenly. She had only been serving the Kai family for five months, but before that, she had served a decent family. The eldest daughter had been trying to avoid marriage, but a servant mentioned the boy in detail. The eldest girl fell in love, forgetting about abandoning the marriage. The middle-aged servant remembered how the eldest girl had starved herself, refused to go out if her parents insisted on her marrying so young at the tender age of thirty but after those words... She suddenly agreed after inquiring. Quickly the middle age servant stated to prevent these servants from saying anything. "Wait! If we mention them, it might draw her interest."
They continued grumbling, but the alone servant asked tentatively. "Then what shall we do?" Her eyes were quite wide and innocent, her face was also heart-shaped, making her even more lovely. Her thick black silky strands were secured in the common bun. The older servants turned their gaze on the fourteen-year-old girl. Beauty is both a good and bad thing, but the young master is still young so they did not bother with her, while the relative widely known as the 'beautiful' male is cold in nature except with the young miss. Even if she wants to use her beauty, she will die and not even know who exactly killed her.
The servants will never accept at this point another upsetting the stable balance.
"Remind the young miss of our young master."
The servants became puzzled by this. Remind the young miss, Kai, they thought. The young miss would mention many things about the young master Au every other day, so they would know she will never forget about him. Like so, a servant did not hesitate to mention this fact.
"The young miss Kai will never forget young master Au." Soon after another spoke up,
"He calls every day already." The others nodded. By now all the dishes had been cleared and packed to wash. The other servants entered and exited saying a few words, listening or nodding. They to had their own opinions but kept silent about it in case they cause the other servants to turn on them because they had misspoken.
"Yes, the secondary warehouse has also been filled with many things from both the young master and old madam." This was spoken by an old servant who had been around during the time of the old patriarch. In fact, before he died the Kai family had been in decline. A lot of servants were either dismissed or had asked to be released. Besides the Quai servants named for their loyalty and service, there was also the Gau, Suka and Dian servants who are not as widely known but their services are recognised by the two young masters; Young master Au and the new young miss Kai.
She had been recognised by the young miss Kai and asked her name, rank and family situation. Like that, her daughters and grandchildren had a home. Her name was given as the Suka family name and will be representing those by her side. Immediately she had twenty-five servants under her, making her nervous but also feel useful. Once her piece was said servant Suka left from among the servants pausing only when she had heard the sentence.
"En, it is good to see that the once cold young master is showing a bit of emotion."
Servant Suka had been there when the Au original wife had been pregnant with the young master. The couple looked as though they were in love. Barely able to be separated from each other.
Servant Suka bowed her head and shook it, feeling a deep sadness.
"There is also the beautiful relative. What of him?"
The servants present had various feelings for this beautiful relative.
"There has been word that the old madam will pair them off. He will be her secondary husband." the surrounding area became silent. Suddenly a servant girl spoke up. She was a bit confused about asking. "Secondary? Isn't that something that had been used only-" a few recovered before others, one of the other servant girls who served the young miss Kai cut her off with an irritated look speaking over her. "Our young miss is powerful. One male can not be enough for her," how can a servant who does not know about their young miss even know anything.
"No! I have heard that the Kai main branch has a brother, and he has children."
"True, some guests had whispered about it."
"Oh that, I have also heard he had broken from the main branch by marrying in. His children are not Kai."

Note:
Just to inform everyone the 'beautiful' relative is actually the male on the cover. I personally... As of now, see him as my favourite male.
He will not have much time until our little Ra is around 10-12. Since I also have to expand on other characters and work on World building.
*Next 2-3 chapters will be next time skip also the book will become much more interesting.*
