By far, at that.
Male and female elephants are also referred to as “bull” and “cow,” much like cattle, buffalo, etc.
Wait... Didn’t we spend half a chapter reading about how girl’s abilities didn’t match to the two primary characters’? 🤔

A MacGuffin....
Sorry, what? Sure, Jan...
I have never felt the words of a character so deeply. 😂😂
That is the dumbest “logic,” I swear...
The first assumption would likely be that she already had a husband, not that her age at the time of birth/pregnancy made her immoral and an undesirable. Marriage and birth in early to mid teens wouldn't have been uncommon.
That... that's not rewarding her. That's absolutely just a threat. Also, if she's being basically purchased and shipped to the palace, is she just expected not to see her infant son again for however many years of service are required by this 'contact'? Never mind the oddity of leaving him in someone else's care so young, wouldn't the imperial palace (if based on the real world) be against hiring young women who already had children? I was expecting the son to come after starting to work in the palace. I'm struggling to keep up suspension of disbelief right now.
