章 2: Life in Yunkai schemes, pigs and friends

twelve years have passed since my rebirth as a resident of the quote on quote the greatest of the slaver cities the yellow city of Yunkai south and North of it's no doubt much more beautiful sister if anything Yunkai is that one middle child trying to get their mothers attention but is mostly all talk

That is not to say it didn't have beauty its buildings were made of a yellow brick that almost made the city glow and gave an impression of absolute perfection this was true mostly in the Wellthy parts of Yunkai where I visited occasionally due to my father's work in this current life of mine. He worked directly under a wealthy merchant who dealt with bed slaves as well as some goods from other cities like silk, alcohol and medical herbs, and even more slaves.

I had met him once of course under some circumstances and tried to act as politely as possible

He was a large man with a double chin and thick lips large yellow teeth and greasy sausage fingers his appearance was most definitely a sign of all the good meals he has eaten.

other than the obvious Ghiscari features of

Dark amber skin and medium length Wry hair he shaped into two horns

a famous hairstyle among the Ghiscari people he had as well as the Touka the artier of the wealthy and powerful. soon I will be wearing it and have bastards like him kissing my feet begging for scraps

, of course, he didn't care much for me but his two children twin one boy one girl and I hit it off pretty well and soon we became friends.

This sort of helped my father in his position at work rising him a few ranks due to his boss's children's unnatural attraction to his son.

This may have had something to do with my influence and natural charm after all I wasn't that much older than I am now in my old life probably a five-year difference.

we were fine before but after his promotions, we were able to afford a house close to the Richer sections of Yunkai this is, of course, better for me since not only do I get to stay away from the less comfortable and unsavory parts of the city but I get more exposure to the merchants and I get to learn their trade and practice my abilities to manipulate people's minds and emotion's. I found out a few things about this power

first I can't manipulate anyone who has a stronger mental fortitude than my own so people like the faceless men, Varys, and maybe Tyrion and little finger??

But I don't have to worry about them ....yet

in the meantime, I must be ready for Danny and her Dragons and Unsullied speaking of which I better get my plans set in motion to take over this fat freaks company.

I've tried a couple of times to take control of him directly but he is a difficult one

or maybe I just suck anyway my plans mostly depend on his children who just so happen to be good friends of mine.

We finally arrive At the House of Dzadro his Dokhar the wealthy merchant my father works for. ( at least till my plans are in motion)

It's as extravagant as always even tho nothing compared to the pyramids it is still a beauty made of the usual Yellow brick of Yunkai and built similarly to old Roman temples what set it apart from many others in the city was that the bricks themselves looked as if they were carved from gold and if the sun was in the right place it shined brightly and beautifully. soon it would be mine

As we got out of the transport I stretched my stiff arms I had spent the whole night practicing the sword skills I had learned a few things from Dzodro (fat Bosses eldest son)

of course, I had gotten the fighting experience of many great fighters in the world engraved in me and it helped me grow in fame just a little nothing spectacular tho I still have to practice to I should have asked for strength to back up the fighting experience.

My father walked up to me before approaching the great Brown doors with a nervous look on his face.

He was a thin man but the worry made him look more sickly he try to hide it by covering themselves

Father: "Now listen Dinak I will be meeting with the master for an important talk with extremely influential trading companies from Astapor, lys, and even Bravos, and if all goes well we will be able to have a

partnership so I expect you to behave yourself okay and also try to keep the master's children from getting angered with you.

He always said this to me whenever we would visit but this time he was filled with an incredible amount of fear.

I don't blame him not many companies from the slave cities can make a partnership with A Bravos Merchant since they don't usually specialize in the Slave trade. But if they were able to secure this deal they would increase their reputation throughout Yunkai and the other slave cities this would even be beneficial to me so I couldn't have done them fail.

my best bet would be to use his nervousness to my advantage and manipulate his emotional and mental state into something more charismatic.

I usually tried to manipulate my father a few years back to try to get him to take me on a trip to the fighting pits I never used it on him since I didn't like the feeling of using him much after he was usually so kind and manipulating him didn't feel right but if it were that piece of the crap boss of his I would be more than delighted to control him, but he is a difficult people like him need to be flustered for me to get a grip on them.

We part ways in the corridor as he will be going to the meeting room and me to greet my "buddies" I look back to see him with a spring in his step and a walk that radiated confidence without being too prideful. This might work but I might need to find the other merchants just in case they are most likely going to be like Dzadro ( fat boss) who has had many years of experience with discussion and this sort of thing they would be the difficult best hope for me was to have them in a weakened mental state.

I finally arrive At Dzodro's room standing in front of his massive brown wooden doors as I am about to knock on the door I am sent flying by a massive amount of force I look back to my attacker and notice it's Dora Dzodro's sister and she looked angry.

Dora: Ohh so you decided to visit Dzodro first huh and completely forget about me huh!!

flustered Dinak tried to respond as calmly as possible

" No no no no nothing like that at all I just uhhm" wanted to uhhm he couldn't find the right words.

Dora: you WANTED WHAT?? TO COMPLETELY PRETEND I DIDN'T EXCITED!!

Dinka: No no no the lady I simply wanted to get the simple mundane problems before devoting my undivided attention to you my lady

Dora did not seem impressed at all and calmly walked up to him slowly but even in a fit of unjustified rage she still walked with grace for a girl born into such a wealthy merchant family in Yunkai she always liked doing things herself even going as far as to try cook for herself and learned to fight. She hated lies and could tell well when people were telling lies around her most of the time, she was amazing at almost everything she did including her lessons in noble etiquette and business.

Although she was known for having over-the-top reactions when something she didn't like or something unexpected happened.

She knelt looking at Dinak with her large brown eyes raised her hand and placed it on his head gently looked him in the eye with a light smile and gently said

"You should have come up with something else to say, what if I was mad at you? also you need to come up with different excuses no girl is going to believe that.

Dinka confused by her change in attitude sure he said in a low voice.

Dora got up and offered Dinak her hand with a faint smile on her thin lips she had long Wry hair that she tied in a ponytail which was unusual

for Rich Ghiscari others would have styled it in the old manner with wax like her father but she didn't her and Dinak would always make fun of the styles together. he took her hand getting up.

Dora had always liked playing jokes on people especially him and Dzodro who was standing by his door with an unimpressed look on his face.

"How boooooring just kiss already and be done with it," he said with a lazy expression on his face as always.

Dora laughed at her brother's response

" that is an interesting thought but sorry Dinak I have my eyes set on another"

Dinka" that's okay I got my eyes set on someone else as well.

Dzodro sighed and only turned back to his room muttering about how boring we where

he turned back slightly and asked "so you coming in or what?

We walk through his large wooden doors into his room.

Dzodro loved all sorts of bizarre objects that his father brought back for him on trips they were all over his room each from a different location from here in Yunkai to the Dothraki grasslands, the simmer island the free cities, and evenWesteros.

Dzodro was a collector and he never let anything that interested him go people knew this and even started rumors of him keeping humans that interested him underneath the estate.

Dinka had asked him about the stories but he didn't answer with a clear answer at least.

Dzodro sat in a throne-like chair Embroidered with gold and jewels and the Harpy of Yunkai at the top. unlike his sister he had his hair in the style of the old Ghiscari way he had it styled in wax to look like horns just like his father but also Made it spike out backward Dinak and Dzora used to make fun of him for it but he never reacted with anger but rather boredom " your jokes are too common and simple he would say.

He dressed in fine red silks with the symbol of a golden Harpy at the front. Just like his sister he practiced Combat, etiquette, and Business and excelled in all categories, and to make it worse the over archiver never seemed to put any effort into it at all.

The was a silencer as he sat on his throne until he looked up and directed his gaze to Dinak and spoke

Dzodro: hey do you guys wanna be part of the Wise Masters?

DinakDinka and Dora looked at him with a bit of confusion but interest.

why do you ask? Dinak said interested in where this was going.

Dzora looked at her brother with an investigative look and gave a wide grin

my oh my, she said with a chuckle so you decided to do it huh?

Dinak looked at her slightly surprised not knowing what was going on

Dzodro was quiet for a time and said our father plans to become one of the Wise Masters of Yunkai and with the position of power I wonder what he will do

Dinak thought for a while and said well that's something but you asked us if we wanted to be Wise masters what did you mean?

Dzodro replied again after some time what I mean is let's have my father become a wise Master and kill him. That way either I or Dzora can take up his position and while we are at it you Dinak will rise in a company supported by Us and eventually become a wise Master as well.

Dinak looked at him carefully trying to understand what was going on he then asked but you're going to have to kill your father doesn't that make you feel strange in any way?

Dinak did want the fat bastard dead but his very children wanted his death what a strange opportunity.

This Time Dzora replied

It may be strange but honestly, Yunkai would be a better place with him gone, or rather Yunkai would be doomed if he becomes a wise Master.

What do you mean Dinak had to herd many rumors about The fat Bosses shady exploits from the merchants he had interacted with like how he bought a small business and supplied weapons to slaves that he kept as his soldiers I had thought this to be normal in a city that made a profit of slavery but to think he used his slaves to destroy his opposition in secret and was responsible for the death of two of the Wise masters a few years back and put much of the blame on a large rival of his and he was responsible for many more deeds to think his children confessed them to be true.

Dinak looked at Dzora and Dzodro still puzzled about a few things.

He pondered but asked, at last, he does all these things but it's simply business in Yunkai and it's business that benefits you not to mention you can't be fighting for the freedom of slaves you guys have never once blinked at them being sent off to the market so why do you want to kill your father.

Dzodro looked at Dinak for some time then stood up from his chair turning to one of his largest collections a Bronze monkey twice his size.

He started speaking in a whisper that got louder That man only cares about himself giving Us these gifts as a way to fake our bonds trying to use our interests to keep us from rebelling from acting against him so we can continue this horrible bloodline of his

honestly, why he doesn't dispose of use I wonder why doesn't he kill use like he brutality did our mother!!!

Dzodro looked back away from his Bronze ape to Dinak with eyes filled with absolute rage this was the first time Dinak had seen his usually bored and disinterested friend show the slightest hint of devotion.

Dinak only thought to himself "I wanted to get rid of the fat pig myself but with their help, things should be much easier I'll listen to their plan first tho maybe it might be fun
