In addition to the Guild members already represented, Essora and Milena were in the living room, quietly watching what was happening. In order not to attract too much attention to herself, Milena put on a cloak that hid her entire body. She stood in the corner of the living room, away from everyone, and watched Arabel and Idan closely. It was hard to understand what she was thinking at that moment. Arslan occasionally cast a worried glance in her direction, which, of course, did not go unnoticed by Irene. "Felicia, you can also take the title of Duchess like the others," Arabel said, ignoring her antics. "Hehe, thank you, Queen," she said. "Then I want the title of Fox Duchess." "Well, have it your way, from now on you will be known as the Fox Duchess," Arabel nodded. "Felicia," — Idan took the floor. "You will continue to lead your Red Fox Guild, but from now on it will become part of the Kingdom, so start adjusting your Guild to the interests of the Kingdom." "Hmm... good," — Felicia agreed. Although she didn’t like what was happening, she knew she had no choice. Her fate was already connected to these two through their scary little fox cub. Arabel introduced the fifth official member of the Guild, Essora Grandia. "Essora, like Esma and the older sisters, are not from our world or even from Junonia. She came from a completely different world called Chronomaria, a world that was once invaded by creatures of Darkness," Arabel said. "Like the inhabitants of our world, Essora was abducted by these creatures and served them until Idan and I rescued her. Now she has agreed to join our Guild, becoming a full member," Arabel added, talking about Essora’s past. "However, unlike the others, Essora will not be in charge of any particular department. She will have a special and unique position as a Time Keeper," Arabel concluded. "Time Keeper?" said Yulaya in surprise, voicing the question that had arisen among all those present. "Essora has an amazing ability—affinity to a very rare element, the element of Time," Arabel announced, causing everyone to be amazed. Even Sierra was very surprised and stared at Essora, trying to make out this quiet girl with short black hair. "With a special artifact, Essora can create an area and manipulate time inside it, slowing it down, stopping it, and speeding it up," Arabel continued, revealing the secret of Essora’s power. "If you need her help, you can contact her, and after paying a certain amount, you can use her services," Arabel concluded. Arabel did not hide it and spoke in detail about Essora’s abilities, emphasizing her importance to the Guild. No one was left indifferent. Everyone realized how valuable this ability was, and now they saw the humble Essora as a truly valuable asset. "At the moment, there are several other members in the Guild besides the five of you, but their responsibilities have not yet been determined," Arabel informed and then proceeded to explain the rest of the Guild’s structure. "As mentioned, the King and Queen are followed by the Dukes and Duchesses, the heads of the Guild departments. Each department will have its own separate units. The heads of these units will carry the titles of Marquises and Marchionesses. The Marquesses and Marchionesses will be directly subordinate to the Dukes and Duchesses." "Currently, the Guild does not have suitable candidates for these positions, so the search for suitable people will be entrusted to the heads of departments," Arabel said. "If you have suitable candidates for these roles, feel free to introduce them to us." "Each squad will consist of several groups, and they will be led by captains who will bear the titles of Counts and Countesses. The captains will be followed by the vice captains, who will receive the titles of Viscounts and Viscountesses. The rest of the group will have the title of Knights Everyone thought about what they had heard, finding such a distribution of ranks in the Guild a little strange, but quite acceptable. "However, it’s worth noting that these Guild titles only apply to Awakened Ones and those who follow other paths of cultivation," Idan clarified. "Besides, the Guild needs regular employees to function properly," — Idan announced, and everyone nodded in agreement. After all, the Guild could not exist without these simple workers. "Ordinary employees will have the titles of Stewards and Stewardess. Their heads are Head Stewards and Head Stewardesses, and their leaders will receive the titles of Barons and Baronesses," Idan said. As Guild leaders, Idan and Arabel had unlimited power. Each department head was required to report only to them, and in their absence, to Esma. They received a lot of questions, and they tried to give answers to all of them. However, there were some that they couldn’t find a solution to. They understood that the Guild’s structure was still only an initial version, and they did not rule out the possibility of its changes in the future. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝕟𝕖𝕥 "If anyone has any suggestions for improving the Guild’s structure, feel free to discuss them with us," Arabel said at the end. After completing the discussion of the Guild structure, Idan and Arabel identified the main goal facing the "Kingdom" — to uncover the secrets of Disasters and survive. And the first task they set for the Guild was to prepare for the Third Disaster. "There is very little time left before the Third Disaster — less than a month. During this time, we need to do everything possible to be as prepared as possible," Idan said. "And the main step on this path will be to recruit the Awakened and mortals to create the first wave of Beast Tamers," with these words, he pulled out the first volume of the Manual to the Path of the Beast Tamer. As in Limbo, Idan explained in detail what is needed to make this path of cultivation accessible to more people. Those who did not yet know about the existence of such a Manual were amazed and excited. Leo was especially thrilled to realize that Arabel had not lied when she said she could help his brother and mother embark on the path of perfection. "We have very little time before the disaster begins, and to do all this, we need your help," Idan addressed Irene, Arslan and Yulaya. "Our Guild wants to join forces with yours to spread the Manual of the Path of the Beast Tamer." Yulaya, as the leader of the Flower Gardens Guild, was very excited, but before agreeing, she glanced at Irene, who was smiling at her brother. "You know, Idan," Irene said. "After what happened back then in the Stone family’s territory and the day before yesterday, I thought deeply and made a decision." "If you and Arabel don’t mind, then I, as the leader of the Queens Guild, am ready to merge my Guild with yours, becoming part of the Kingdom, like the Red Fox Guild."
