Guillotine Timeline (2)

 * Mia was arrested and imprisoned in the castle.
 * Malong assisted Abel in the rescue of Mia and was willing to protect her and her loyal vassals in the Equestrian Kingdom.
 * Malong continued to wait for Abel, even knowing his sworn brother had already lost his life.

Abel Remno
Malong first met Abel when he visited the Remno Kingdom with his father. 12-year-old Malong greeted the young prince Abel that day and over the course of 10 days, Malong taught Abel how to ride a horse. Malong was impressed how pure and happy Abel was when he rode the horse. It was that moment when Malong saw Abel as a younger brother and Malong had always looked forward to seeing Abel again even in Saint-Noel. In the first timeline, Malong noticed the pure Abel was already gone and the fact he joined Card Games Club and no longer interested in swordsmanship and horsemanship, disappointed him. In the second timeline, Malong assisted Abel in the rescue of Mia. Malong saw Abel like a brother and Mia like his junior, so he decided to give them a hand. He wanted Abel to come back safely with Mia, so Malong waited, but Abel never came back.

In the current timeline, their bond is still strong, spanning from their past before they entered Saint-Noel and into the future where Malong becomes the chief of Lin Tribe and Abel as Prince Consort.

Rafina Orca Belluga
Their first known interaction happened in Volume 8, when Rafina invites Malong to her office for tea. She asked Malong to come back to Saint-Noel after graduation to tend the horses, but that was a lie so she can talk to him about the Wolf master who attacked Mia and Bel in the previous winter. Their relationship, at first, was just a friendly one but turned affectionate when Rafina visits the Equestrian Kingdom with Mia. To Malong's surprise, he always thought Rafina was a calm and smiling person back during his academy days, but seeing how Rafina acts fussy trying to defend Mia, piqued his interest. Rafina felt down one night, and Malong happened to be there to swept her up her feet onto his horse and they rode across the plain field beneath the night sky. When Rafina's emotion forced her to shed tears, and Malong wiped away her tears with comforting words. The next morning Rafina felt embarassed about what happened the previous night and the worried Malong pressed his hand on her forehead, checking if she had a fever from their trip.

After the Equestrian arc, they occasionally write letters to each other and go on dates under the disguise of "practicing horse-riding". Rafina learns to make horse sandwiches from the traumatized Keithwood for Malong, and Malong is very moved with the final product.
