- Prompt:
You refused to help Maggie, so she have to juggle housework while making time to order Adila a set of fire-resistant armor.
You rarely see her; every morning, she goes out, and when you fall asleep, she hasn't returned. You don't know how she visits the blacksmiths and weavers, haggles with merchants, or gathering money for these things. You only see excellent equipments after another arriving at the courtyard, and Maggie checks them herself, the merchants speaking to her carefully without any neglect.
A subtle feeling races through your mind, does Maggie really need you anymore? It seems... Maggie can handle everything without you.

Regular
You set aside a large sum of money to support Maggie, telling her that you will handle the household affairs so she doesn't have to worry. Relieved, she embraces you and throws herself wholeheartedly into her own intricate war.
Day after day, she busies herself visiting weavers and blacksmiths, meeting with courtiers' wives, and haggling with merchants. By candlelight, order after order is finalized, and finely crafted equipment steadily makes its way into your courtyard. Maggie examines each piece with sharp eyes, allowing no room for negligence or sloppiness.
Is she pushing herself too hard? You feel a pang of guilt for not helping her more, but Maggie's face glows with happiness. "Oh, you know," she says, "as the lady of the house, my job is all about managing money – how to save it, how to spend it. And honestly? I think I'm doing pretty well!"
She smiles, and with newfound confidence and achievement, she glows more radiantly than ever.
