Only Just A Beginning/Pt 3.

A couple miles away from medina sidonia you can see a huge castle and Inside of that huge castle, inside a study room you can see a handsome middle aged chocolate skinned man with with a diamond shaped face with a well groomed beard and dark brown eyes, long dark brown braided back hair that looks black, 6'2 in height with a luxurious red and gold attire on, and a lean muscular well fit body with a pissed look on his face.

(Alfonso emiliano de seville's POV)

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*

"FUUUUCK." Said alfonso screaming at the top of his lungs, banging on his desk with incredible questionable strength.

"Your excellency please be at ease." Said a fat old man with a luxurious attire on, sweat pouring down his face from his forehead while occasionally glancing at the other nobles in the room

Alfonso's face turned even en more ugly than it already was and said loudly with rage and spit flying from his mouth "HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED BE AT EASE WHEN THE DUKE OF MEDINA SIDONIA IS IN AN ALLIANCE WITH THE CROWN TO TAKE AWAY MY COUNTY THAT MY FAMILY HAS HELD FOR GENERATIONS AND EVEN PRECEEDS THIS DAMNED EMPIRE AND I EVEN OFFERED HIM MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER AND NOW I CAN'T EVEN FIND HER."

The room was silent for a moment, only for commotion to be heard outside the study.

"WHAT NO…" Said Alfonso loudly, only to be cut off.

*Boom*

A young man barged into the study with ragged breathing and said stutteringly "Y…yo…your…ex…exc…excellency."

"Spit it out before I ripped your urethra tube out and make you." Said alfonso with obvious anger on his face that that needed to be vented.

"Their has been sudden large uproars happening all over andalusia with the peasant folks your excellency." Said the young man with his head bowed, clear panic not being hidden on his face.

The nobles suddenly started a uproar in the room with some insisting that count seville to just forfeit his county and others insisting that he make a run for it with his wealth and others insisting he try to sway the peasants to his side to build a stronger army.

*BAM*

"SILENCE." Said alfonso loudly, making the room go completely quiet.

Alfonso looked back at the young man and asked "Do you find anything else that you believe could have caused this uproar with the peasants."

"Yes your excellency, someone has been spreading word of the food shortage and escalating conflict amongst the peasants to tip them in their favor and have them do their bidding." Said the young man with a serious face which made the nobles behind him start whispering about how preposterous and disgusting it was to pull such a dirty move on those with no power.

Alfonso rubbed his beard for a moment and thought with rage on the brink of exploding within his eyes "Damn dukedom of medina sidonia."

(Juan Manuel's POV)

"Your grace we have did as you've ordered." Said a unkempt ugly looking man with dirty clothes and cracked yellowed teeth, a couple of dirty men and woman behind him all prostrating on the floor with their heads bowed.

I looked down at them calmly for a moment from my throne and thought "Is this how my ancestors were living back then but again I never looked at my family tree so I shouldn't make assumptions."

"Good, excellent work it was discreet but not discreet enough but that shouldn't be a problem." I said calmly while signaling sebastian to give them their reward.

Sebastian bowed and went over to the peasants and handed each of them a small bag full of 100 gold coins each.

The peasants took the bags and opened it at the same time and was shocked and bowed their heads again in unison and said loudly at the same time "THANK YOU, YOUR GRACE FOR YOUR GENEROSITY MAY THE LORD GUIDE YOU AND BRING YOU HAPPINESS."

I waved my hand at them for them to get up and snickered under my breath while thinking "If that's even possible in this death filled century."

"Thank you for your kind words you all may return home now, use this money wisely to make yourselves someone respected." I said calmly, looked at each and every one of them in their eyes that had tears streaming down their faces which made me glad on the inside that I didn't become a peasant in this century otherwise I would have been executed by now and probably wouldn't get another chance at life considering I got forced into this alternate earth in the 16th century.

The peasants all stood up and bowed again and started following sebastian who was leading the way out.

I stood up from the throne and stretched a little and started heading out of the hall, intending to get some fresh air since I've been preoccupied in this world since I've arrived.

I left the hall and started heading down the long luxerious hallway full of paintings and antiques while looking down out the window at the garden and paused from seeing my one and only beloved new estranged wife or sister who was holding a black umbrella in a luxerious black, red and gold dress with ornaments in her hair.

"I guess siblings do think alike." I thought calmly while continuing on my way to the garden.

(Catalina's POV)

Catalina sniffed the red flower again while thinking calmly "This is definitely the one."

Catalina calmly put the flower into her basket and started cutting some other ones with scissors in her hand and putting them into her basket while saying "Good evening your grace."

"Good evening, but what are you doing out here without a servant." I asked calmly while crouching down next to her.

Catalina looked at me who was next to her and said calmly "Your grace I have hands and feet."

"I can see that, but that doesn't explain your safety to me." I said calmly, looking her straight into her eyes.

"He's so annoying" Thought catalina while cutting more flowers with the scissors in her hand.

(Juan Manuel's POV)

I picked one of the red flowers and thought while secretly putting it into my storage "Is she using this for a bath"

"Status" I thought calmly while glancing at catalina's face that showed no emotion.

[DING!]

I looked over my status and chuckled at the little change and mentally tapped on the name of the plant and looked at the other screen that appeared.

[Abrus precatorius: Abrus precatorius, commonly known as rosary pea or jubar, has various medicinal uses in traditional medicine, including treating conditions like fever, cough, and cold. It's also used for a wide range of ailments, including dysentery, diarrhea, and wounds, as well as a tonic, aphrodisiac, and laxative. However, it's important to note that all parts of the plant are toxic, particularly the seeds, which contain the highly poisonous abrin]

"Stop staring at me." Said catalina's voice of nowhere.

I made my status window disappear and said calmly "What."

"I said to stop staring at me." Said catalina again with a sigh while getting up and dusting her dress off.

I stood back up from my crouching position and said calmly "I can stare at my wife if I want too, I'm appreciating beauty."

Catalina looked up at me and said calmly while taking her leave towards the castle "Your disgusting."

"Is she mentally well in the head" I thought while glancing at her basket that was full of poisonous plants.

"How so." I asked calmly while walking steadily beside her.

Catalina paused and looked back up at me again and said calmly with a sigh "You know your grace you have a tendacy to bed a lot of women and throw them away."

I chuckled at her obvious lie and said while walking up behind her retreating figure and grabbing her by the neck and tilting her head back to meet my eyes "And you know what my little wife, you did those things because you are jealous."

Catalina stared up at me into my eyes and said calmly with quivering lips "Not at all your grace I d…"

Suddenly I leaned down and kissed her on the lips with my tongue slipping into her mouth and started swirling it around hers, exsploring every inch of her mouth.

(Sebastian's POV)

"Seems like his grace and the lady are back on good terms again" Thought sebastian with a smile, looking down at me assaulting my wife in the garden from the castle window.

(Juan Manuel's POV)

I touched my bottom lip with my fingers and looked at it and seen blood and started chuckling while saying to catalina who was walking away fastly "You will be seeing more of me so he prepared my little disobedient wife."

"I hope you die during your take over of seville." Said catalina calmly, not knowing her face was red from embarrassment.

I smirked, watching her disappear from sight and ran my hand through my hair while looking up at the sky and thinking "Now, it's time to began the grand massacre to secure my survival in this world by taking over all of andalusia and becoming a absolute monarchy which would not be easy since I would need a very strong military and that is where the peasants come in to back me up since their most definitely important to me since they can offer resources, labor, military power and more."

"Yes this is only just a beginning." I said calmly with a smile while leaving towards the castle, my hair blowing in the wind.

…

THE END…
