Europe / Medina Sidonia: January 7th: 1557.
It's been a week since I was reincarnated as juan manuel de guzman y habsburg and since then I have been mainly adapting to this new century and my current identity and most definitely looking over the current situation of house medina sidonia and I must tell you that it is looking very bad, not only has someone been draining my money and resources I've come to discover that the former owner was actually killed in his sleep by poison and I've discovered this from sebastian who found a cloth with black stains and dry blood on it, on the floor by my bed and I also during this past week have sent a army of 500 men out of 5,000 men now let me clarify why that is it's because I need my manpower in case my dukedom has a war with the unknown force at play even if it costs me the trust of the crown.
(Juan Manuel's POV)
"This is sad." I said with a sigh while looking around the huge room that is full of a huge pile of gold coins and antiques which could have been fuller but I'm not picky.
I went over to the huge pile and crouched down and put my hand on it and made it disappear while looking at a little screen on the right side of my face.
[Money: 566,732,577]
"Just sad." I said with a sigh while standing back up and the reason why I am saying this is because from the former owner's memories he had a vast amount of wealth estimated at 888,653,765 which is crazy but is true it is a wealth accumulated through the former dukes of medina sidonia who didn't play about their money and I certainly don't neither considering this is my life now.
"Your grace." Said sebastians voice out of nowhere.
I looked behind myself and seen sebastian with his head bowed and said calmly "What is it."
"There has been news that his majesty was very displeased with the amount of reinforcements you've sent a week ago." Said sebastian calmly with his head still bowed.
I stared down at sebastian for a moment and said calmly while looking back up at all the expensive antiques in the room and said calmly "Let him be displeased, would he like to order me to lick his royal ass clean for him next to please him next."
The room was silent for a moment, only hearing both me and sebastians breathing.
"Your grace there has also been a lot of movement coming from count pedro lately." Said sebastian while glancing up at me a little to see my face expression that wasn't surprised in the slightest from the news.
"Call all the nobles and advisors, it's time to end all of this." I said calmly with a sigh while taking my leave and signalling for sebastian to get the task done quickly, obviously sighing from only just arriving in this body a week about and already having to deal with all this political bullshit.
(Clara's POV)
"Ugh....w....wha...what happened." Said clara stutteringly while waking up, only to immediately see she was in chains inside a prison with a stinging pain coming from the side of her face.
Clara's eyes widened in shock and screamed at the top of her lungs with anger "LET ME OUT RIGHT NOW, DO YOU KNOW WHO MY FATH...."
Clara suddenly paused while taking a deep breath to calm herself down from hearing something or someone tapping something against the ground and steadily making their way towards the cell that she was in.
"Hohoho, foolish little girl, no one is going to come here just to rescue you." Said a very old stern woman's voice with a distincve spanish accent.
Clara looked up and seen a beautiful old white woman around 5'0 in height with grey well maintained hair, a diamond shaped aged face, and dark brown eyes standing outside the cell with a wooden cane.
"Who are you." Asked clara with a pissed look on her face.
"That my little naive girl is none if your business but overall little one, your a prisoner now and will transported overseas to become a slave." Said the very old woman with a grandmotherly smile on her face.
The old woman glanced at nothing and said with squinted eyes "Is everything prepared."
"Yes madame dolores." Said a young womans voice, coming out from the shadows, revealing a beautiful woman in a revealing dress that displayed her not so average chest in the slightest.
"Good." Said madame dolores with a nod while pulling out some keys and unlocking the cell door and made her way over to clara steadily.
Clara's eyes widened from the sudden turn of events and screamed at the top of her lungs "DON'T COME NEAR ME YOU OLD BITCH."
"Now, now a noble woman such as yourself shouldn't be speaking in sight a vile way." Said madame dolores with a grandmotherly smile on her face while stopping in front of clara who was backing away.
Clara breathed hardly like she was having a panic attack and screamed "DON'T COME NEAR M..."
*BOOOM*
*SPLAT*
Clara's face hit the floor, only hearing ringing sounds and seeing the blood at the tip of madame dolores's cane and thought as her consciousness slipped away "How did I end up here again, oh right the...ca...carriage was attacked."
(FLASHBACK: A week ago)
"Where you successful." Asked a man's voice.
Clara smiled widely and said "Yes diego I've succeeded now that I've successfully diverted his grace's attention to thinking someone under him was planning a coup on him, we can successfully transport the money and resources to my father."
Diego smiled and moved to sit next to her and said while leaning in close to her face and said while kissing her on the lips gently "I love you."
Clara smiled and kissed him back and said "I love you t..."
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
"WHAT." Said clara loudly with a pissed face.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*
"IF YOU KNOCK ONE MORE FUCKING TI...." Said clara loudly while opening the door, only to pause from seeing a child.
Clara blinked a couple times and asked "What are you doing all the way out here little girl."
Suddenly the little girl started running away.
"WAIT, STOP." Said clara loudly, getting off of the carriage to run after the girl.
Only for her vision to suddenly go black and her body go limp, not ever going to know if the child was ok or not.

THE END...
