Golden Fox with System

Theo managed to forge another 75 spears, swords and Katanas in total. After that, he sat on the floor in the lotus position to stabilize and better understand his new state, especially trying to understand the "Royal Lineage" and it\'s implications.

"Umm… what\'s going on?" Yuki woke up early that day. When she arrived at the Workshop to see how Theo was doing, she felt a strong urge to kneel before him.

It was as if she was close to her "King" for whom she had the highest respect. She couldn\'t understand why she felt this compulsion.

Even though she fought this invisible force that was trying to make her kneel and \'worship\' toward Theo, she eventually gave in a while later and knelt before Theo\'s presence.

"What is this golden aura? Why is this happening?" Yuki wondered, both confused and surprised.

Looking towards Theo, who was sitting in the lotus position. She could see a vortex above his head. A great deal of Mana was entering Theo\'s body through all of his pores. It was a majestic and divine scene, so compelling and awe-inspiring that Yuki didn\'t even blink as she looked gazed upon it.

She even forgot that she was kneeling on the floor because of Theo\'s new aura.

Theo, who was lost in his own contemplations, did not notice that Yuki had arrived at the Workshop. Moreover, he did not realize that she was kneeling and prostrating herself to him.

Sometime later, the other girls and the children from the orphanage woke up. And, as a routine, they went to the Workshop as well.

"Yuki… what are you doing?" Shina asked, amazed. The other girls were also about to ask the same question.

But as they got closer, they began to feel a strong desire to kneel before Theo. It was as if it was the most natural thing to do. So, everyone now found themselves kneeling inside the Workshop, looking toward Theo with the utmost devotion.

Only little Yui was standing beside them, staring at it without understanding what was going on. Maybe it was because she had a potent Dragon Lineage that she wasn\'t affected by it.

She looked at them in confusion, tilting her head to the side and wondering, "Is this some kind of new prank?"

After trying to talk to some of them, she came to believe that it was a joke. So, she also knelt on the floor, looking towards Theo…

One hour later…

"Grrr… Yui is bored! This isn\'t any fun, let\'s play something else!" Even though she said that she received no response from any of them. Sighing, she approached Theo and shook him lightly as she said, "Daddy, Daddy, come on, wake up, Yui is starting to get worried!"

"Wow! How beautiful!" Little Yui exclaimed loudly as Theo opened his eyes. At that moment, he was using his Divine Eyes. But unlike before, they kept morphing colours between neon red and gold. It was even more beautiful and ornate than before.

Theo, who just came out of his trance understanding his own Lineage better, was awakened by little Yui. The moment he opened his eyes, he felt that everything was moving in slow motion… no! Even though it seemed that time had stopped, it was so slow that it was a bit agonizing. He believed that if he used this for too long, he had a high chance of going crazy.

"Yui, why are you so restless and woke me? Has something happened?" Theo asked. But after seeing little Yui pointing her small, delicate hand toward Yuki and the others, Theo was surprised.

"Why are they looking at me like that? And why are they kneeling on the floor?" Theo wondered in confusion.

Theo got up and said, "Rise."

"At your command, my King!" They exclaimed something that resonated throughout the Workshop.

Theo and little Yui were scared by their response. Not understanding why they were doing this, Yui initially thought it was just a prank they were playing, but now she realized it wasn\'t one she became worried.

Theo also noticed that he was cloaked in the aura of his Royal Lineage, and he soon wondered about it when he realized this, "Is it because of this Royal Lineage that they are like this…? It\'s the single most likely cause that I can think of."

Theo then retracted his Royal Lineage aura, suddenly noticing that their eyes of devotion and admiration were returning to normal. "That\'s what I thought…" He just hoped it didn\'t affect them in any permanent way.

"What just happened?" Yuki was the first to speak. She then looked at Theo, "King… King? Theo… what just happened to us?"

p "Well, explaining everything from the start would take some time, so I\'ll summarize, okay?" Theo asked, and they nodded hurriedly, they also wanted to know as soon as possible what had happened to them.

"Well… to sum it all up, I had a significant increase in my cultivation and Lineage, where I awakened a new Lineage as it were. Well, it\'s not considered an awakening of a new Lineage, but an extension of the power of my own Lineage that has now reached a very high level." Theo explained.

Sighing, Theo continued to say, "Because of that, whenever I use it, it emits an aura. That aura apparently affects your minds, and possibly because you were animals and animal-like Demi-Humans, you couldn\'t go against my aura. Well, that\'s likely the case, but I still have to understand it better. I\'m pretty sure that\'s it, though."

"I see…" They nodded in understanding. Although they were confused by some things, at the same time, they were happy with Theo\'s increased power.

"But Daddy, Yui wasn\'t affected by your aura. Why was that?" Little Yui had a thoughtful look as she held her chin.

"Well, I\'m not sure, but I think it\'s because your Dragon Lineage is strong, and you\'re a dragon yourself. Because of that, you weren\'t overcome by my aura." Theo said what he found most likely.

"Ohh, so you mean my Dragon Lineage is powerful too?" Little Yui still holding her chin began to reflect, thinking that maybe it wasn\'t a bad thing, her being a dragon after all. At least that way, she could fight alongside her daddy and mommy.

"Haha, very powerful, Yui is the best!" Theo laughed out loud and proclaimed.

"Hehee~" With a silly smile and hugging Theo, she looked up as she said, "Daddy is the best of all, too!"

"Awww… aren\'t they cute? I want them for myself!" Aine said out loud.

"Aine, what are you saying?" Nanda standing beside her, replied with a flush.

"… W-What… did I say out loud?" Aine asked blushing.

"Yes." Nanda sighed, "You did."

"…"

"I… I… that\'s right, I still need to make breakfast!" Aine said hurriedly and ran out of the Workshop.
