First of all, thank you so much. Generally, people tend to leave messages when they're unhappy (which is normal), but it's rarer for people to take the time to express their gratitude. As a video game developer, it's incredibly gratifying to read such comments. So, thank you very much.
Regarding the protection of your Ward, this will be central to the storyline, and you'll see a prime example of this in the major update number 2, which is currently under development.
Thanks again, Lizzy.
