《Kindred》Chapter 36 – Reading Miss’s Mind…
Advertisement
"Listen well, Latifa. As a personal maid of a noble miss, you always need to know what your master wants. Even before she says it."
I'm currently receiving a lesson on maid duties from Teddy.
I shall not be distracted by Teddy's shining bald head.
Therefore, I nod at him seriously.
"That's why I'm giving you a lesson right now." He says slowly
Hmm? What does he mean by that?
I tilt my head.
"Recall what Prince Si said earlier."
Just as Teddy said, I recall Prince Si's words.
Mei Mei, how about a dinner? Just the two of us?
"Did you recall?" Teddy asks.
"Awu." Yes. I answer him.
"No matter what, your Miss can't go on her own without her personal maid, right?"
Eh? Eeehhhh? Is that so???
Doesn't that mean I failed as a maid?!
"A personal servant must always be by his master's side. He can leave only if master gives the order. But Miss Meira would never give you the order to leave her side. That's what I figured after seeing the interaction between the two of you. Therefore, I, as Prince Si's personal servant, suggested something that would make you want to leave Miss's side." He says slowly.
Huh? What is he talking about?
Why would Miss want to give me what I want?
"You don't seem to understand."
"Didn't Miss Meira present you today with many items that she wanted you to have?" He asks me.
Yes, that's right.
Clothes, jewels, food.
Miss wanted to buy something for me the whole day.
"However, you refused each and every one of them. That's when she saw your face full of expectations when I suggested that I will teach you, she had to allow you to go. She wanted you to have something, but you didn't want anything. Therefore, she decided to let you go with me. Because you wanted to."

Hm? I don't understand...
"I determined that your miss won't order you to leave. Unless you want to leave her side on your own. Therefore, I suggested something that would tickle your interest and make you want to leave Miss Meira's side, leaving Prince Si and Miss Meira alone." Teddy explains.
"All in order to please my master. That is the duty of the personal servant." He adds.
I see!
Because of my interest in being a great maid like Sophia, Prince Si got what he wanted!
What a blunder!
I left Miss with that stealing, annoying, smug lord!
"If you want to be a great servant, you will need to learn everything about your miss first." Teddy says.
"Awuu?" Learn everything?
Teddy nods.
"Everything. Her likes and dislikes, her habits, her favourite color, her favorite smell, the length of her steps when she's in a bad mood."
Eh? What?
Putting her likes and dislikes aside.
The length of her steps when she's in a bad mood?
Wouldn't it better to just read her-
"Right. You basically need to read her mind. That's how you become a great maid." He says slowly.
But, that's not possible!
Reading Miss's mind... Becoming a Martial Saint would be easier!
"Although there are techniques which allow you to read minds of other people, these are very rare. The people in the whole world who have this technique can be counted on your fingers."
Then, it's impossible after all!
"However, by cultivating, one can perceive the changes in the aura around people more precisely." Teddy explains.
"Awuu?!" Really?!
"Latifa, you want to become a great maid like Lady Sophia, right?"
"Awu! Awu!" I answer while nodding.
"Do you know Lady Sophia's cultivation level?" Teddy asks me.
I shake my head.
I don't know Sophia's cultivation level.
She never talks about cultivation.
"Lady Sophia is Mid Martial Sage cultivator!" Teddy says with admiration.
Mid Martial Sage?!
How- No it's Sophia after all...
Huh? But...
Isn't the Quas Emperor the only cultivator in the entire Empire with Mid or higher Martial Sage cultivation?
... How cool!
As expected of Sophia!

Shift (Ben 10+DCU Fanfiction)
Omnitrix+ DCU, what's not to like? The main character will not be Ben Tennyson, rather someone from our world who gains the Omnitrix Hello! This fanfiction Shift is what I wanted to do for an homage to what I thought were underrated pieces of media, Ben 10 and some DCU characters. However, I would be remiss if I didn’t add context to two of the major works that inspired Shift, Dial, and A Practical Guide to Evil. Dial is another ben 10 fanfiction, however that story takes place in the MCU, and with an adult that is already a grown-up at the beginning of the story. Dial, by my own accounts, is more superficially Like shift, even though the Omnitrix is a central device in both. My protagonist starts out around 18 years old, so is less serious and can build relationships with some of the junior justice league members, and then later on in the story meet the Justice League officially. The tone will be more light-hearted at the beginning of the story as teenagers are known to use sarcasm and jokes at each other’s expense. Furthermore, in Dial, the protagonist has a well-developed knowledge of the MCU which he uses to have knowledge on events and characters, that the character in Shift will not have. While the MC will have some knowledge of people's abilities, lesser-known characters and people's real identities will be not included as much, but the MC of Shift will have some knowledge. APGTE's influence is deeper than Dials'. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter are an example of that, a place for light-hearted jokes and worldbuilding that's not pure exposition, but I also want to incorporate narrative stories to Shift (heroes win more than lose, providence, etc) on a lighthearted scale. While the heroes of Shift will have to work to win against villains, the MC of Shift will be allowed limited precognition, through narratives tropes and archetypes as a trade-off of less knowledge of the DCU. For example, a villain a hero faces might monologue, but the MC will not instinctively know how to counter every villain they encounter. I also wanted to bring in more realism than usual superhero stories, ie: the MC cannot just walk and have a meeting with Batman or Superman, he would have to “work his way up” in terms of credibility and whatnot. The Aliens that show up in Shift I tried to make different than the ones in Dial, just to share the love for lesser-known characters. And to make it fairer for the villains of the DCU, the main character will not wantonly use if gain at all an Alien X or a ben 10 form of Kryptonians, just so the characters have to work a little bit for victory. I urge anyone reading to consider checking out both APGTE and Dial as they are both amazing works, and I hope you enjoy them. The beginning of how the MC enters the DCU will not be as important as him actually existing in that universe, so that is why a ton of time is not spent on that part of the story. Chapters will be around 2.5 thousand words and come out around every weekday.
