Maow.
"Miaow…?"
From the first moment Clixie laid her eyes on the red cat, she knew what had happened. The organic cat's ears drooped as the spiritual cat flew over.
Maow.
"Miaow…"
Maow maow.
Miaow…
Alexandria nodded in satisfaction after seeing that Clixie didn't intend to challenge her superiority. The spiritual cat turned around and returned to Gloriana's shoulder.
Ves happened to observe this interaction. He had hoped that Alexandria would get along with Clixie since they were both cats. He even wished that his wife no longer ignored Clixie's fear of being replaced by a 'better' cat.
Sadly, despite her beautiful new cat collar, the only feline that Gloriana was paying attention to was another part of herself!
"Come here, Clixie." He coaxed.
"Miaow."
As Ves held Clixie in his arms, he nuzzled his face against her head. The Rubarthan Sentinel Cat relaxed and basked in his affection.
"Gloriana."
"Yes?"
"I understand you're happy about Alexandria, but don't forget about Clixie. Can you see how much she yearns for your attention? She's family, Gloriana. There is no reason why you can't love multiple pets at once. Each of them are worthy of our attention just like each of our future children deserves an equal amount of love."
His wife drew her gaze away from her beautiful new companion spirit and looked down at Clixie.
"Miaow."
"What's up with this new collar? You made it, right? You should have consulted me. I could have made this collar a lot more fashionable!"
Ves wanted to palm his face. "You're only finding out about this now? I already gave her this collar a while ago!"
"Oh."
"Look, if you're serious about raising a good family, then you need to act as a responsible parent. Clixie might not be able to provide as much utility as Alexandria, but that should never be a requirement to determine whether a family member is worthy of your attention. Now can you please act compassionately for once and make up for neglecting her distress? You hurt her quite a bit, you know."
His wife finally showed remorse. Her expression softened as she moved closer in order to take Clixie from his hands.
"Oh, I'm sorry, girl." Gloriana kissed the top of her first cat. "I've been a bit too distracted lately. Can you forgive me, Clixie?"
"Miaow~"
Ves smiled once he saw that Gloriana finally deigned to spend some time with Clixie. He just hoped that it would last.
Alexandria didn't look too pleased that Gloriana directed her attention away from her majesty.
Maow!
The new companion spirit arrogantly huffed before entering her human partner's mind.
The next day, Ves and Gloriana came together in the design lab again in order to get ready to realize the Bulwark Project.
"Meow?"
"Miaow miaow."
Maow.
Mrow.
Meanwhile, Alexandria already started her quest to gain the allegiance of other cats. She imperiously approached Lucky and lifted her chin.
Maow.
"Meow?"
Maow maow.
"Meow!"
"Maow!"
Lucky jumped at Alexandria and quickly taught her a lesson! The new companion spirit stood no chance against a seasoned fighter and killer.
MAOW! MAOW!
Mrow.
"Miaow."
Of course, Blinky and Clixie looked pleased that Alexandria was forced to press down her head in front of Lucky.
"Ves! Your cat is bullying Alexandria again!"
"Your cat was asking for a fight. Did you really think she could act like a queen when she can't even beat up anyone?"
"Stop gaslighting my beautiful cat!"
