This was exactly what Malin wanted—the fate of this child was a national concern, and even someone like Carter, who swore revenge, found it extremely difficult to accept the idea of killing a child. Especially upon discovering that the whole affair was driven by the nobles funding them, who sought to kill the child after using him. He developed a bit of sympathy for the last child of the Manheim family, stating that the child's life or death was irrelevant to him; he wouldn't kill him, nor would he let him become a banner for the restorationists.
So after Malin consulted everyone on this matter, these people held a small meeting within the Northernist group and finally decided that as long as Goethe swore not to let the child fall into the hands of the Northern Kingdom's restorationists, they would agree to let him leave the Northern Kingdom and become Goethe's adopted son.
