Chapter 48 - Attack The Cat! (2) (1/2)

”Husky, since you're the one in charge while I'm out, give me your report.”

”Yes, My Prince!” Boss Husky came forward and reported his finding. ”My Prince, we all behaved nicely when you left. We also happen to find a tunnel that will fit us all to infiltrate the cat daycare on the other side!”

”There is a cat daycare on the other side?” Alpheus was a tad surprised because none of the dogs told him about it yesterday. ”How come you guys weren't telling me about this yesterday?”

”Because the tunnel was not open yesterday, My Prince! Of course, we can't invade. I don't want to burden you with the thought, My Prince!” Boss Husky said. ”Apparently, Grand Overseer Eunjung Noona cleaned the daycare yesterday, but she only finished halfway because she got tired and wanted to have a drink with her friends. THat's why the tunnel is still open.”

”So it's not supposed to open at all?” Alpheus asked.

”No, Prince! This is the first time we can see the open tunnel!” Boss Husky answered.

”Hm… I forgive you for withholding information now, but you must tell me this cat daycare on the other side.”

”My Prince! I've only known this from a stray cat that came to the dog daycare when the grand overseer of the daycare, Eunjung Noona, is too busy streaming BTS - Dynamite for the whole day in her office. The stray cat said a cat daycare on the other side was ruled with a matriarchal system. The queen is a female sphinx cat called Meowpatra, and there is the female grand advisor, and also as the right-hand woman of the queen, her name is Neferkitty.”

”Meowpatra and Neferkitty ruled the cat daycare in harmony, but the other cats must give them their offering every week. Such offering is like… dead mouse, dead bird, or anything dead.”

”But they said the cat daycare is more crowded than in the dog daycare. We only have 10 dogs here, while cat daycare probably has twice or even three times the number!”

Alpheus nodded as he listened to the explanation. He wasn't surprised by a kingdom ruled by a lady. Few kingdoms in his world were ruled by queens, and they were equally strong.

In fact, even Eclipse Kingdom was ruled by a female alpha wolf, Alpheus' great grandmother, at some point.

So he didn't want to take it lightly. He still wanted to expand his domain, but he didn't want to be harsh on this approach.

”Hmm… I don't want to attack a domain without scouting the situation first. Let's try to negotiate with the cats, send an envoy and tell them to bow under my rule, or their land will be desecrated to the ground,” Alpheus said. He looked at the 10 dogs who lined up in front of him.

Obviously, he could just send Boss Husky because he was the strongest out of the bunch, but Boss Husky didn't have the sophisticated envoy-look in him.

So he checked the other dogs, walking from the left side to the right until he stopped at the last dog in front of him.

It was a female white-golden brown toy spaniel dog. She was around the size of Alpheus as Pomeranian, but she was actually younger!

She was mostly silent yesterday, so Alpheus wanted to inquire more, ”What's your name?”
