I made it back to the apartment, and my lovely little tigers all got back into their spots, and I could smell dinner around the apartment. Freya was done putting the plates and serving them onto plates. Stacy had gotten herself up, and Freya looked at me as she finished up.
"The Baroness is still sleeping in the bedroom while Ingrid, I believe, had to leave. She told me to tell you that she has an important meeting and took all her extra time to come here. I told her that I would tell you but that I thought it might not be a smart decision on her part." Freya finished, and I nodded.
Ingrid had brought a lot to the table, and I wasn't about to get picky. I would punish her a little next time she was in my hands. I smirked at the thought, but my mind went back to the meeting tonight. I didn't like it, but it was necessary. I sighed and turned to sit down at the table to eat.
I ate in silence as I thought about things. I didn't like the meeting tonight, but I was confident in my ability to defend myself. I doubted that they would know that I was a B ranker. As long as they sent anything C rank or less, I would be the dominant force in the meeting if they were a B ranker then I would be able to retreat. I took more food into my mouth as I didn't even contemplate if an A ranker showed up.
I have never seen an A ranker before, I believe, but I at least knew that I was considered a B ranker The memories that I took from other souls were A rankers, and they were incomprehensible. They were so strong and fought in the air that it was hard to understand what I was remembering. I tried not to think about things that I didn't understand since dwelling on those memories eventually would give me a headache.
There was also the fact that I needed to decide what to use in the system since I leveled up. It was a pain, but I leaned back as I realized I had finished my food already. It was a surprise that I had without even thinking about it. There were times in my past life that this happened, and it didn't happen often. I found myself at a crossroads again, and I felt like I made a decision every day while staying in the empire.
Then I realized what I felt like every day. I was a gambler with lowering odds of rolling a seven at the casino. Each roll, I decreased the odds of rolling another seven. Each day I rolled it, I felt like I could roll the next day, landing another seven. But eventually, I would roll a different number.
It might be different from that, but I also felt stagnant here. I felt like I got almost everything I could from here, and with the incompetent Sherry to work with, I didn't know if this would be useful. I felt the front legs of my chair tip into the air, and I brought myself back down. I stood, and I looked at Freya and Stacy, who were watching me.
I turned without a word towards the bedroom to see Hillary lying there resting but not asleep. I could see it with the way she had one eye open, and I smirked as I saw the new slave boy resting as well in the corner. Kitty cutely meowed up at me, and I squatted and opened the unlocked caged petting her. She leaned into my hand, enjoying the simple pleasures that now dictated her life.
"Go out and get some food from Stacy or Freya. I will play with you later when I have a chance, Kitty," I told her reassuringly.
"Nyah!" Kitty replied, and I stood looking down at the boy I was going to train. My eyes narrowed, and I knew I would have to do something with him soon. I couldn't put it off, but I was lacking in time, and If I was going to do it right, I needed to start.
I nodded to myself and said, "I will be with you soon. Don't worry; first," I finished, and I turned to Hillary. I stroked her red hair, and I leaned forward just in front of her face. "I know you are awake," I told her, and I kissed her cheek, making her fully awake. "Did you enjoy yourself?" I asked her.
