She was glad he could still use the line.
“Oh,” the baroness replied, unsure of what to say. “They must be very proud,” she finally decided.

%%This story deserves a lot of praise for managing to turn what, at first glance, seems to be one of the most generic and predictable fantasy plot-lines into a tremendously enjoyable and original work, mostly because of the author's superb world building, and the stunning amount of realism and attention to detail in both the military and political arenas. Its like the fantasy equivalent of Hard Sci-fi.

* LovedINotHonorMore: Minalin's relationship with his wife falls in to this frequently. It is clear that he does not want to leave his wife, but he frequently finds himself separated from her as he deals with the various issues he attends to. This is, in fact, made most notable by the one time she DID accompany him for an entire book to a dangerous land, and he STILL found himself going off by himself without his wife to attend to various things. This is only slightly averted by him putting the duchies at risk to repair her enneagram when it was fractured.
* MagicKnight: By the fourth book, knights magi are becoming more and more common, with a whole order devoted to them. These are in varying flavors and degrees, some are mages who are knighted, some are knights who display magical talent to varying degrees.
