"To protect not from potential threats, but to protect the child from myself?"
Arabel lowered her gaze.
"That could explain her silence. System probably knew or assumed that something like this could happen, and took measures in advance to protect the child."
As long as her extremes existed in her head, there was always a risk in the unique space created by the power of the ring given by the Host of the "Supreme Widow System", where System could not look.
System could not have foreseen everything without knowing what was happening in this space.
In which case, Arabel herself could pose a threat to the safety of the child.
If she was right, it meant that System didn't trust her.
If Arabel had known earlier that the protective barrier was created by System to protect her child from herself, she would have felt resentment and anger at System.
But now, seeing where everything had led, she wasn't angry, but grateful to System.
Arabel raised her head and looked at her extremes.
