While Gloria was struggling to update herself on the Church in Dry City, Minos, Ruth, and Abby were together with Sarah and Kendrick, going about some local government business.
Minos and his wives believed that daily their children had to participate at some point in their jobs to learn the modus operandi of the Stuart family. So some of them occasionally had Sarah or Kendrick around to watch the local decisions that could influence the empire's future.
Sarah was already an adult, so she participated more actively in these moments, asking questions and sometimes giving her opinion. But Kendrick just watched and listened, always silent when his father or mothers spoke.
In particular, he looked at his father with pride every time he stayed with him to learn how a ruler handled things.
Usually, Abby was always with him at these times since even though she had stopped breastfeeding a few months ago, she was the only one who fed this kid.
