After some time, on the imperial dungeons.

“…….”

“…….”

I sat aspect by aspect with Argention, staring into the bars.

In spite of everything, I couldn’t refuse Catalina’s provide of consideration.

It was a little bit awkward at first, however it didn’t final lengthy.

There was no time to consider anything because the interrogation started.

“For what goal did you break into the palace? Inform me the reality!”

“…….Keut”

“Depend Molzigat. As a nobleman of the Empire, you could have an obligation to defend it, don’t you understand that what you could have accomplished is tantamount to treason?”

“…….”

Depend Molzigat pursed his lips.

“What the hell, speak!”

The inquisitor slapped Depend Molzigat in frustration.

It was a timid slap as if he was afraid one thing may go fallacious and he turns again right into a demon.

Depend Molzigat’s head snapped again up and he checked out me.

‘What is that this?’

Acquainted phrases got here to thoughts.

【Your pet desires to speak with you, would you want to make use of the ability 〈Talk with a tamed pet〉?】

“Huh?”

I exclaimed, too shocked to suppress my voice.

As if ready, the interrogator turned to me.

“Duchess of Palesdon, have you ever observed something uncommon?”

“N, no.”

Shaking my head, I averted my gaze from Depend Molzigat.

‘Oh. No approach. After all not.’

However.

【Your pet desires to speak with you, would you want to make use of the ability 〈Talk with a tamed pet〉?】

The notification popped up once more.

And after I might not look away, I might really feel Depend Molzigat’s keen eyes on my face.

‘What. Now?’

Everybody, be it a canine or a cow, is making a fuss about wanting to make use of communication abilities.

‘I believed this ability was just for Calix.’

Felix had already used it, besides, I hadn’t imagined Depend Molzigat would use it.

And contemplating he talks trash about me.

‘A conscience, a thoughts, and all the pieces else a human ought to have. He has none of it.’

Maybe he was higher suited to be a demon than a human.

And but I need to talk with Depend Molzigat.

I felt a little bit sorry for myself.

【Talent 〈Talk with a tamed pet〉 can be activated!】

Finally I used the ability.

‘I’ve to do that to finish the search.’

I glared at Depend Molzigat.

Depend Molzigat’s eyes had been pleading.

Depend Molzigat was astonished.

Depend Molzigat’s eyes full of tears.

‘I can’t consider you’re so pleased to be put in a jail that nobody can escape from.’

He has utterly gone out of his thoughts.

Immediately, Depend Molzigat collapsed, his eyes rolling again in his head.

“Depend Molzigat?”

The inquisitor gasped and stepped again.

Then he turned to me.

“Duchess of Palesdon. What ought to I do in such a case?”

“Let me check out him first.”

“Thanks. I’ll step apart in order to not disturb your ladyship.”

The inquisitor stepped out of the cage at a faster tempo than standard.

“It’s possible you’ll take so long as you would like, ma’am, to have a look at him.”

“Sure, I perceive.”

The inquisitor appeared grateful to be a little bit additional away from Depend Molzigat.

‘As he needs to be.’

As he rose to depart, I felt Argention’s gaze on me.

“I’ll go in with you.”

“Huh? You don’t must, I’m effective.”

“I’m not effective, and also you by no means know what may occur.”

Then Argention walked over and stepped into the cage first.

“Argention!”

“He doesn’t look harmful, I believe you possibly can are available in.”

Not solely that, however he appeared contained in the cage and cleared a path for me to enter.

‘What the hell?’

His demeanor is totally completely different from the primary time I transmigrated.

I glanced at him questioningly.

“What’s fallacious with you? Why are you doing one thing you’ve by no means accomplished earlier than?”

“……I’ve been having loads of desires currently.”

“Goals? What are they about?”

Argention pursed his lips.

He was hesitating to talk.

“In case you don’t need to speak, you don’t must. I didn’t imply to pry.”

“No, it’s not that…… I maintain seeing you crying in my desires, and it seems to be like…….”

However I didn’t hear Argention’s reply in full.

“Ugh!”

Depend Molzigat groaned and twisted his physique.

“Depend Molzigat!”

I leaned over to test on him, and a notification popped up.

【Your management over your tamed pet is diminishing.】

【In case your management over your pet continues to lower, taming can be forcibly terminated.】

【If the taming is forcibly terminated, you can be penalized!】

“What?

I hurriedly opened the system window to test, and certain sufficient, the taming index was dropping.

‘Why did this all of the sudden occur to my taming index?’

I believed for a second.

It’s a little bit of a déjà vu scenario, though the circumstances had been very completely different in some ways.

The system has at all times been on my aspect, and it has served me effectively.

Even when it did behave unusually at occasions.

‘It threatened me as soon as, however when Argention sliced it up, it acquired even higher, however then it went unusual once more after I met Felix.’

It was prefer it was contaminated with a recurring virus.

At that second, it hit me like a lightning bolt.

‘What if somebody was actually tampering with the system all alongside?’

In the event that they take management of the system, they might give me unusual quests or give me bizarre penalties.

‘Then my life is ruined!’

I can’t lose management over Depend Molzigat.

‘The ability I’ve now will not be sufficient.’

If I had been stronger than the intruder, I wouldn’t be taken benefit of within the first place.

‘However it wasn’t taken away utterly, so they need to not be overwhelmingly stronger than me.’

So at this level, it was a scenario that might be resolved if I had been just a bit stronger.

Fortunately, I wasn’t utterly out of choices.

I fulfilled the hidden situation of 〈Taming 5 creatures that nobody has tamed〉 and acquired to degree up a trait.

‘Now’s the time to degree up.’

I checked the notification I’d been pushing aside.

【You may degree up the expertise 〈Beast Tamer, tame any creature〉. Do you need to degree it up?】

“Sure!

【Leveling up…… You’ve gotten efficiently leveled up!】

【Present rank: A】

【You’ll obtain 50 Destiny Power as a level-up reward】.

‘Unusual, the level-up rewards are low as of late?’

It used to reward a brand new ability and a state of affairs, however now it’s simply Destiny Power.

However the very subsequent second, a brand new notification popped up.

【Achievement!】

【A Talent has reached degree A for the primary time!】

【Talent Robust Management Over the Tamed Pet has been created!】

【Your fame is starting to unfold throughout the continent!】

【Some sealed magic energy is launched】.

As if somebody heard my mumblings, my rewards rained down.

‘This can be a bit embarrassing. I suppose that’s why I’ve to hearken to the tip earlier than I say something.’

After which my ability was triggered.

【Robust Management Over the Tamed Pet is triggered!】

【Possession rights to tamed pet restored!】

As I anticipated, I leveled up and the scenario was resolved.

‘Alright, that ought to do it.’

I smiled and was about to show off the notification.

However then a brand new notification popped up.

【Your management over Depend Molzigat has elevated】.

【You’ve gotten reached the restrict of your dominance, it doesn’t apply!】

‘The place have I seen this earlier than?’

Then a quantity popped up above Depend Molzigat’s head.

‘101%?’

It was the identical scenario as when my father’s favorability score had reached the restrict.

‘My elevated management over Depend Molzigat can be ineffective to me. Ugh, I hate that.’

I needed to disclaim actuality.

However within the meantime, the system dutifully notified me.

【Achievement earned!】

【You’ve gotten reached the restrict of dominance!】

【Sooner or later, you’ll know all the pieces about Depend Molzigat!】

【Depend Molzigat’s affiliation adjustments to yours】.

【Your affect additionally extends to Depend Molzigat’s entourage】.

‘Affiliation adjustments?’

I requested, studying the notification cursorily.

‘Does that imply I’ll be capable to discover out extra concerning the shadows?’

The system had a plan.

‘I used to be relying on you……!’

I shortly shifted my stance and checked the system window.

【Depend Molzigat

Nonetheless, I used to be unable to get any details about the shadows.

‘What the hell, there’s nothing.’

I used to be about to clear the system window when the phrases “- Standing: Reworking right into a Demon” flashed up.

‘What?’

Half-heartedly, I pressed it—
