Malin's battle yesterday, if it were in the internet era, would not have waited until the next day; it would have spread across the networks that very day, becoming nearly impossible to erase.
But in this medieval world, it was not until the following night that Lady Anna became one of the first Sydneyans to learn of the news. She summoned a door to take a brief look, confirming that no one was missing from the company before she left.
As she was leaving, she glanced at Malin, "Don't take everything upon yourself. When I gave you my daughter in marriage, it wasn't so you could treat her as a mere decoration."
"You are right," Malin nodded.
After sending off the lady, Malin collapsed onto the sofa, stroking a Spotty cub in his hand. These Spirit cubs had a strong vitality; they could open their eyes to recognize the world just a week after birth. Somehow, Malin had become their third favorite.
Their mother was their favorite, and Maya was their second.
