He didn't have the strength to deal with the rambling spirit.
Despite admitting that he had overreacted with the maids, Malakai still didn't ask them to stand up.
He had already given out the punishment, taking it back now would make him seem weak and unsure.

They bowed, heads lowered, and spoke in pleading voices.
"N-n-ninth Vein, w-we're d-done with the t-task."
Malakai stared at the two trembling maids in front of him.
