    when Hebaron's last lines of this chapter made me laugh hard waking my house up. thank you sir, I'm also about to die along you and Gabel

    "Now, then!" Hebaron barked as if determined to rile his subordinate further. "Off we go to face the endearing Sir Riftan, whose hair is parted slightly on the right!"

    probably the only good thing that the duke ever did. give his daughter to a better man where she changed for the better and got some free will plus freedom and above all else, love and care. scummy he did it for his gain and willing to use Maxi to get away from his duty but in the end, it was better for her, and Riftan

    "The duke has said… if you take command of the campaign in his stead, he will allow you to take his eldest daughter, Maximilian Croyso, as your bride."

    the only nobility he is interested in is a red headed girl.... he's definitely going

    "Why? With your skills, I'm sure you'd make quite the impression on the nobility."

    everyone saying how Riftan threw tantrum, which is amazing seeing him acting like an actual teenager that he is, but I can't deny the Ruth snort got me as well. i can imagine Ruth just feeling proud of himself

    He angrily kicked the doorpost. Though his boot knocked a hole in the wood, the only reaction it elicited was a snort from inside the room. He trudged back to his own quarters and lay on the cold bed.

    how I see baby Maxi trying to hide haha

    Suddenly, their eyes met. The girl looked startled and ducked behind the door. Riftan stifled a laugh when he realized her dress and red curls were still visible.

    This part hurts more after seeing why Riftan almost killed the duke. He also went through physical abuse as well, and seeing his wife, the woman he has loved all these years being abused really set him off.

    The older man flexed his biceps, huge from years of hammering, and shook his calloused fists. Riftan had once received a blow to the temple from one of those fists for talking back. He had spent the day throwing up.

    Riftan's expression just goes to show how his life has been before meeting Maxi, he's been on his own among mercenaries, battles, and maybe no one has ever been thoughtful or defended him from anything before, so Maxi being the one to care and be worried about him is still hard for him to get used to. just glad he finally has someone to care and love him. thanks for coming to my Ted talk

    For a moment, Riftan regarded her with a strange expression before shrugging as if to say he was used to such hostility.

    meanwhile Hebaron feeling chills thinking its the poison when it's really Uly just getting ready to challenge him for the position haha

    "My knighting ceremony will be held once this war is over, and as soon as I am knighted, I intend to challenge Sir Hebaron and replace him as Sir Riftan's right hand. Please do not take my determination lightly."

    here we go, Maxi radar activated and about to get real, everyone hold on tight...

    Maxi hastily lowered hers. A cold sweat broke out on her back, and her heart pounded erratically. The man was none other than Riftan.

    Ruth stared at her as though he could not believe what he was seeing, then gaped when he noticed her monastic habit.

    love to see the growth Maxi has done, and about to enter a great part of the story as well. also side note, I'm like that too when I leave home, i cuddle my cats before leaving for work.

    Gazing into the maidservant's dark brown eyes, Maxi nodded. Ludis smiled sadly and squeezed her hands as she stepped back. After hugging and giving each of the yowling cats a kiss, Maxi left the room.

    Maxi do be doing this

    Not wanting to miss the spectacle, Hebaron and a few of the knights crept in behind him. Maxi shot them a glare before looking down and pretending to be busy scribbling on a parchment.

    this, Sir Hebaron is what happens when you get into other people's business ....but his troubles are our gain so please keep doing that.

    Hebaron gave her a troubled look as if to ask why she was dragging him into this. Maxi pretended not to notice and continued.

    after reading Riftan's PoV, I can see why Maxi has her suspicions, especially on the last few chapters of his PoV

    Feeling a sharp pang of jealousy, Maxi glowered at him.

    Riftan's aggressiveness is rubbing onto Maxi haha

    Maxi silently vowed that the next time she came upon the sorcerer sleeping, she would pierce a hole through his back with kindling.

    how i see Maxi as she leaves with Agnes

    She spun away from him and grabbed the princess by the arm. "H-Her Highness and I have yet to finish enjoying the festival… so you should go enjoy yourself as well, Riftan."
