Chapter 517 - 350: So Small (Part 4)
During the last two days, City of Galicano was like a still pond, so calm that Malin was bored. Other than discussing upcoming work with the girls, all he did was pet cats.
Speaking of petting cats, Malin felt there were differences, like with Spotty. This big cat was more fearful of Malin; even though it understood that Malin wouldn’t harm it, the pressure of his power and their class disparity still made it fearful when confronting Malin.
It was different with its kittens. Unlike their reserved mother, these little ones were lawless, climbing all over Malin’s body all day, hooking his coat full of holes.
Apart from Spotty’s family, Malin sometimes petted Maya as well. Though the little leopard had grown up, it still liked to nap on Malin’s legs, forcibly taking over the kittens’ living space.
Malin, after all, preferred petting Maya the most—the white, furry-eared, beautiful girl—right in Malin’s sweet spot.
When it was time to leave, the Old Lady Moriti brought her little granddaughter along. Malin left her to his girls to handle and then briefly discussed the situation with the Old Lady.
She mentioned that going further south, the capital administrative area would be fine, as her eldest son would provide them with cover, but beyond that was the South, where Baron Anthony Gallo’s family, the masterminds behind this scheme, lay in wait.
The Old Lady didn’t have much else to say—just a "wish you safety," then left through a door.
This piqued Malin’s curiosity—the lady did not seem as loyal to the royal family as he had heard.
What was going on?
Given her status, she should have done everything to prevent Rewo from entering Farole’s capital administrative area; after all, it was a place of mixed company, and anything could happen. What if Malin truly slipped and these people snatched Rewo away—could she still manage a smile?
