Benjamin had Hyper Perception. It didn’t just detect danger–it could read emotions.

And something about the way Joanna looked at him didn’t feel like a Guide–Sentinel bond at all.

Over the next few days, he shadowed Joanna and absorbed everything he could about the Space Alliance. He took careful notes.

“What is a Summoner?

“The relationship between a Summoner and contracted beasts.

“Changes after the Interstellar Universe merged with the Space Alliance.”

Then, something clicked.

“Contract beast?!”

“So… I’m her pet?”

His lips curved. His eyes turned devious.

Benjamin quickly compiled his observations into a memo on his communicator. He titled it: Squirrel Diary.

Førget learning general knowledge.

Learning how to survive in this household was far more important.

In Space Alliance terms, this was basically court intrigue.

“Squirrel Diary.

“Court intrigue data updating…

“Her Majesty–Joanna Lane:

“Currently a high–tier professional in the Space Alliance. Mythic–level Summoner. Second–strongest Summoner alive (first is her professor).

“No. 1 prodigy in the universe. Battle record: public knowledge.

“Controls Nightstar Group and TitanStar Group.

“Dimension Lord of the Joanna Dimension.

“The Empress–Nighthowl: Her Majesty’s first contract beast. Rose together from nothing. Position unshakable. Skilled cook–holds the Queen’s stomach. Critical role in maintaining the relationship with the Queen’s professor’s sentinel.

“Also specializes in Astral Step, making him indispensable for the Queen’s academic schedule.

“(Assessment: Do not provoke.)

“The Noble Consort–Alwyn: Second contract beast. Every gesture drips with aristocratic grace. Based on records, a noble from the Interstellar age. I don’t recognize his house–my knowledge is limited.

“Likely an ultra–elite bloodline. Specializes in agriculture. Currently holds a key role in Nightstar Group’s Natural Plant Division.

“(Assessment: Noble pedigree. Thriving career.)

“The Favored One–Lucien: Third contract beast. Chaotic personality. The only one who dares talk back to Her Majesty. Calls her ‘Queen. Actual standing: precarious. No special talents. Survives purely on royal favor.

“(Assessment: No ambition. Simple–minded.)

“The Steady Marquis–Troy: Fourth. Extremely powerful. Can counter any element–type fighter, myself included. But personality–wise, unremarkable. The Queen treats him more out of duty than affection.

“(Assessment: Combat power–terrifying. Romantic threat–zero.)

“The Pitiful Darling–Caspian: Fifth. Skilled in music, healing, and fashion design. A latecomer, but knows how to cry. Beautifully. The Queen adores him for it.

“Currently runs a small fashion brand under Nightstar Group. Rides on the Queen’s fame. Decent sales.

“(Assessment: Cries on command. Has his own career. Scheming. Extremely dangerous.)

“The Prime Minister–Xavier: Sixth. Also in the harem, but career–focused. Total all–rounder. Currently manages all data operations for Nightstar Group. Multi–sector development.

“Genius–level intellect. Unmatched comprehension. Romantically… lacking. No romantic feelings toward the Queen so far. But indispensable.

“(Assessment: Not fluffy. Unlikely to win Her Majesty’s favor in bed.)”

Inside the Gold Fortress.

Benjamin kept updating his Squirrel Diary, quietly and darkly observing everyone.

He couldn’t match Caspian’s delicate beauty. He didn’t have Xavier’s supreme intellect. And back in the Interstellar age, he’d been born poor.

He was just an SSS–rank sentinel who’d devoured an entire Riftbrood colony after distorting, which bumped him to Transcendent–level in the system’s eyes.

Not a huge advantage.

At least he’d probably be assigned to the Gilded River zone. That meant a project. A career.

As for the romantic angle…

He was still strategizing when Lucien wandered over.

“Benjamin, how’s the studying going? Need any help?” Lucien grinned, flashing his fangs.

Every rose–gold hair on Benjamin’s back stood on end.

Lucien’s spirit form was his natural predator.

But he didn’t show it. He smiled softly instead.

“All good. I’ve learned most of what I need. Starting tomorrow, I’ll be heading to the Decennial Universe to work for Joanna. Want to come?”

Lucien nodded.

“Sure! The Decennial Universe is dangerous. You don’t even know–when we fought in the tournament…”

Lucien rambled on. Then, his grin turned wicked.

“You’ve been here eight days now. Tonight’s your turn for night duty. The Queen loves fluffy animals. Make sure you transform. The cuter, the better. Got it?”

Benjamin nodded matter–of–factly. “Mm. I know. Joanna loves me. She says I’m round and roly–poly.”

Lucien’s grin widened. Inside, he was howling with laughter.

“Exactly. Keep that up. That’s how you earn the Queen’s approval. Anyway, gotta go. I’m helping with the forest–those trees grow too fast and too hard. They need me.” D
