“Acknowledged. Please confirm all existing affiliations and hostilities will cease and Wulver units will integrate into existing command structure.”

Ceitidh closed her mouth. She was about to explain how her clan, as Solamh’s original clan, had taken the heaviest casualties and was thus too weak to survive for much longer. That she had heard the Dobhar had claimed some land in Turannia and was hoping to come to an agreement.

But, well, NSLICE-00P had already calculated that additional subordinates were beneficial to her, so long as she was not expected to take over their affiliations and conflicts. Ceitidh blinked a couple of times and then looked to Uscfrea. He spoke to NSLICE-00P through their components.

“My Queen, it appears Ceitidh has not fully understood your question, may I clarify on your behalf?”

“Affirmative.”

Uscfrea then spoke aloud.

“My Queen wishes to know if you will bow and become her people, or if you are simply seeking an alliance.”

Ceitidh frowned.

“Leadership of our clan is her right to claim, but we do not live as the Imperials do, and have no intention of doing so.”

Uscfrea grinned.

“Neither do we…for now. My Queen is generous regarding traditions and autonomy. But you must respect her allegiances. You will not be permitted to fight who you please.”

Ceitidh nodded.

“That is a given, though the clan will grow restless if there are no opportunities for growth.”

At that, a magical contract appeared before Ceitidh, much like the one Uscfrea had signed.

“Acknowledged. Recommendation: Please review the terms of the agreement and sign if acceptable.”

Ceitidh frowned, as she did not know how to read Imperial and the Wulver did not have a writing system of their own. But the mana of the dungeon contract adapted, and she heard the terms spoken in her ears.

She grit her teeth, but bowed her head and signed it.

Contract signed! Ceitidh Greumach (Wulver Level 32) added as a subordinate. Restrictions applied per contract stipulations.
