Starting off I think it’s a great book to read. I mean the overall details my guess is that when the cat dies the houses, and the village will be hit with bad luck and attacks from other villages. Just an over particular guess. The Conquest of Rebu is a quest for kingdom over the village after it meets the cat’s owner and after doing trials for the cat. And my feeling is how the effect of the cat’s death will be a terrible incident like a war or a fortune of loss of some sort. and the slavery of Amuba and Jethro is a local and a worker who is now being slaved for “Misfortune”. People were enthusiastic that they have been enslaved and kept under watch. The people. are back to their same normal lives living with no fear. Jethro will be freed after time, and once the cat dies the servitude will end.
