Win my heart? Malin smiled, a hint of helplessness in his demeanor. When had he, a half-blood who once roamed the streets, nearly starving to death, become a prize desired by everyone?
Life’s encounters are truly wondrous, filled with a sense of the absurd.
Malin hesitated briefly before ultimately opening his arms to accept the princess’s embrace.
The girl, joyful like a young animal, pulled away from Malin’s arms and, looking at him with a smile, said, "Malin, I told you, I would be your best investment, an asset you couldn’t afford to lose—all of this I learned from your handbook."
"That pamphlet I published internally in the group?" Malin asked with curiosity.
Nova nodded, giving a firm answer, "Yes, I wanted to understand you. I don’t have the time like Faye and the others, nor can I stay by your side like they do, but my father once said, with a heartfelt determination, anyone can be moved."
"Aren’t you afraid that my heart is as hard as stone or iron?" Malin looked at the young girl, feeling that her father was putting her in harm’s way.
"I can see your heart—it’s not carved of stone or forged of iron, but is indeed flesh and blood." After saying that, Nova stood on tiptoe and kissed Malin on the face, "I trust you, you didn’t abandon Matilda today, and in the future, you surely won’t let down me or anyone else."
After speaking, she stepped back towards the portal, waving at Malin in the process.
Watching her, Malin eventually waved back with a smile, "I won’t... let my assets depreciate."
The girl’s laughter rang out like chimes as she stepped back towards the portal, gesturing with a wave, and a messenger made of spiritual energy flew towards Malin.
