He doesn't own the cat though as he always says that the Items she brings must come from her true owner... he is just entertaining and waiting her... like all of his girls to be honest.
Maybe We could consider him a trader of "love" to the other gender... he pleases them and they do him in return.
Given his interactions with other males so far is either brutal or strongly if not purely beneficial to him.
...MC might rule a kingdom one day, but will always be ruled by his "wifes"
Who is the true owner then?
Was it all along Sypha?
Is it another character we still didn’t see?
Is it a forever unnamed npc?
Firstly, cats are different (lions and cheetahs are also cats) and the eyes have nothing to do with it. I haven't heard such nonsense for a long time. And secondly, to believe the official historians, who, hiding half the truth or suppressing it, compose the official version of the Grimm brothers' tales. For example, if there is an Arabic chronicle about the Genghisades (Genghis Khan dynasty), according to which "Genghis Khan himself was red-haired, had a red beard and had a face similar to the Rus." It is not worth mentioning that official historians are making nonsense about the fact that he was either a Mongol, or a Tatar and was narrow-eyed. (by the way, Mongolia appeared only in 1924 thanks to V.I. Lenin)
Firstly lions aren’t cats, both Cats and lions are of the the same family felidae, but both their subfamily and genus are different.
Wolf and dogs are more biologically similar to each other.
The eyes are an important characteristic of cats, even if mine was a line of pathos to enchance the joke, people get scared by that, even Edgar Allan Poe focuses on their eyes.
I met people who cried when saw cats and when I asked them they always mentioned the eyes.
Second, of course most historians aren’t meant to be believed faithfully in every word but they are historical sources nonetheless, both of their age and of what view they had on the past.
The Grim brothers you mentioned are from a patriotic moment in history, if you take historians or sources from a era closer to Genghis you’ll find other types of sources.
But the problem remains, why cats?
Is it an historian clichè?
Is it connected to some god complex?
Why dictators in 20th feared cats, and they were sourced?
Were they trying to reconnect to an old tradition?
Is it just propaganda?
Of course there are exceptions, but the belief that cats are feared by rulers still lives and finds its roots still everywhere.
And it may be an important subject of reasearch.
Ending off topic, let’s talk ahout something in topic.
Like the mercenary system, I am waiting for it, I hope it’ll be fun and not frustrating
