[Hosts, the System of another Host, naly this woman, wants to oath of loyalty in exchange for helping rid her Host of your pet’s influence].
Idan had not even had ti to think about this question, as Arabel beat him to it.
"No, we won’t! Not that fox," she said decisively.
Arabel did not utter these words through the Soul Force or through a ntal link, so that everyone who was in the living room at that mont could hear them.
Even Coco, who was playing with Felicia’s hair, stopped doing it and looked at her mistress.
Hailey was startled by Arabel’s unexpected statent and also looked at her, but did not interfere, but simply watched. She herself was excited by the new information and was thinking about how to raise the rank of her bloodline as quickly as possible.
"Because she’s a woman?" Idan had already guessed why Arabel was adamantly opposed to this proposal.
By now, they already had one follower and three subordinates whose systems had sworn allegiance. However, as it turned out, all the hosts of these systems were girls. Arabel could accept it, but she was totally against Felicia.
Arabel didn’t answer, but Idan could tell from her expression that she wasn’t going to change her mind.
Idan, in turn, realized that if they took Felicia under their wing, they would be able to effortlessly get a lot of useful information from her, including, possibly, information about outsiders.
In addition, they will gain additional strength. After all, Felicia was the leader of her own guild, and if they took her into their ranks, wouldn’t that an that they would already have an entire guild under their command?
Although Felicia was extrely useful, Idan did not want to quarrel with Arabel and convince her to accept Felicia. At the sa ti, he was unwilling to just let go of a potential ally or future enemy.
Idan, in particular, did not see any problem in the current situation. It wasn’t their fault that Felicia was in the wrong place and attracted Coco’s attention.
There was no reason for them to help her if they couldn’t benefit from it in any way. It was Felicia’s problem, not theirs.
"System, what would you suggest in this situation?" Before making a decision, Idan preferred to hear the opinion of their system.
Arabel was surprised to hear Idan’s question. She was aware of Felicia’s importance and usefulness, and she was ready for Idan to at least try to convince her. But to her surprise, Idan didn’t even try.
[This system suggests two scenarios], the system replied.
"And what do you suggest?" asked Arabel.
[The first suggestion of this system is to accept the Oath of Loyalty from this Host’s system and strengthen its bloodline so that it doesn’t affect it so much. As a result, you will get a subordinate.]
[The second suggestion is to ask your pet to take this Host as his subordinate. Once a master-subordinate relationship is established between your pet and the Host of another system, the current influence of the bloodline between them will disappear.]
The first offer of the system was rejected imdiately, as Arabel refused to consider it.
However, the second proposal was unexpected for both of them—neither Idan nor Arabel had expected it.
"Should Coco take Felicia as her subordinate?" asked Idan, looking at the little fox in disbelief.
"Not a subordinate, Dan, but a maid," Arabel understood the system’s suggestion in her own way. The prospect of Felicia becoming a little fox cub’s maid seed more appealing to Arabel than the possibility of becoming their subordinate.
Coco was absolutely loyal to them, and they were sure that she would not betray them.
Idan didn’t know what to say. In both cases, the result was the sa: Felicia would still be their subordinate, the only difference was whose direct subordinate she would be.
"Wait a minute, we’re missing sothing," Idan exclaid. "Can Coco take on subordinates?"
This sudden question brought Arabel out of her reverie, and she looked at the little fox in surprise.
[Yes, Host, your pet can indeed have subordinates. At this rank, she can take three, and she has already acquired two of them.]
"How? What? Does Coco already have two subordinates? When did she make it?" — Arabel was amazed.
Idan was also very surprised. However, his thoughts imdiately returned to the two snow foxes he had t at the approach to the city of Rumbus.
"System, are these the two snow foxes?" he asked, wanting to test his guess.
[Yes, Host, that’s them].
"Snow foxes?" asked Arabel.
Idan briefly described what he had encountered on the outskirts of Rumbus City, how he had saved two snow foxes and a silver-ranked snow wolf at Coco’s request.
"I didn’t think Coco would take these two Foxes as her subordinates..." muttered Idan. "And where are they?"
"Coco," he called, and then asked: "Did you subdue those two Foxes that we saved earlier? Where are they?"
"Woo-woo-woo," Coco imdiately began to squeak and smile when she learned that the master had solved one of her secrets.
"They are far away; they are far away. In the North, in the North," a little girl’s voice could be heard in Idan’s head as he used a ntal link with Coco.
"So she left them in the North..." Idan nodded, realizing that the snow foxes would be better off there. However, he also worried that they might die. Finding out that these foxes had beco subordinates of Coco, their pet, imdiately changed his attitude towards them.
[Host, be prepared for unexpected changes to the Host of another System when she becos your pet’s subordinate.] the System suddenly warned.
"What do you an?" wondered Idan.
[She is the Host of the System, not just an ordinary being. She has her own System, and after she becos your pet’s subordinate, her System will be reconfigured. Exactly what features it will acquire depends on the System itself.]
"Hmm..." Idan was lost in thought.
Arabel wasn’t too worried about it. She was fine with Felicia not becoming their direct subordinate.
After digesting the information, he received and making a decision, Idan turned his gaze to Coco.
"Coco, do you want a maid?" he asked, and upon hearing his question, Coco’s eyes shone, and she vigorously nodded her heads.
Of course, Coco really wanted a maid.
"Good, good, — Idan smiled.
"Then subdue her," he pointed at the unconscious Felicia.
Hearing Idan’s words, Coco froze, her eyes wide open. Since Idan said it out loud, Hailey also heard his suggestion and widened her eyes in shock.
