Chapter 598 - 414: Silent Days (1)
"Do you see that, Miriam? A true winner in life, seven times better than me," Logan eyed Malin, then turned to his lover with a sigh. The lover smiled brilliantly, looking utterly satisfied, a stark contrast that made Malin marvel—if it were the old Logan, with his glib tongue, this girl would have twisted his waist into mush long ago, unlike now, where they could share both refined and popular tastes and still win her smile.
"Speaking of which, Logan, just how many cousins do you have?" After shaking hands with Logan’s two cousins, Malin turned to his business partner, who wore a look of embarrassment: "Well, I’m not too clear on that myself."
Malin thought Logan’s family must have once borne the name Habsburg.
After greeting all the young people who had come to the ceremony, Malin also introduced Rewo to the curious, emphasizing her identity—a Mage, an Alchemist.
In front of such a status, being a Domestic Fairy was just a minor issue.
Malin brought Rewo over not only to give this young girl a status but to provide her with protection. Though everyone said it was a marriage of convenience, Malin always felt this girl, shorter even than his youthful self, needed extra care.
What Malin needed was not a marriage of convenience but a love where neither party let the other down,
At first, Rewo was timid around Malin, but gradually, Malin witnessed her transformation. Today, as he introduced her, the girl mustered her courage and bravely stood by his side.
That was the spirit a fifth-ring Mage should have. Regardless of circumstances, the pride of a strong person is always the most superficial, in the old histories Malin read, Domestic Fairies were a ’specialty’ of the United Kingdom—these fully biological artificial lives served humans. After the apocalypse, most perished on the peninsula, but some Domestic Fairies survived and now had a place in The Great Forest Land, still serving everyone.
Fate seemed never to favor Domestic Fairies; they could only work in exchange for their place in life, but they never gave up, perhaps due to their clumsy nature—they were the least likely to become deformed beings.
Some might think that Malin married her for her family’s business and her status as an Alchemist.
