swiftynifty6mthCommentedSo her joining the order and making the deal through Ruth was the only way he could guarantee the mage tower's limited interference in Max's life 💀 Does her joining still count as he also acknowledging her? lol
"That is true in most cases, but Anatol has Ruth Serbel. Have you forgotten that he is a black sheep among your peers?" Riftan replied objectively. "Though I hate to admit it, you are a mage of the Tower, and Nornui can keep you there if they so wish. I wasn't willing to take that risk."- swiftynifty6mthCommented
🤧🥲 Maxi has finally been recognized by Riftan and the Remdragon knights!
"That's right." Draping the cloak over her shoulders, he declared, "You are now a mage of the Remdragon Knights. Hence, you must obey your commander's orders before any instruction by that Nornui riffraff." - swiftynifty6mthCommented
squuueeeeeeeeee!
"Be sure to stay close to Ruth at all times," he said as he inspected the cloak's condition, "be it on the road or during battle. He will inform you of the rules you must adhere to as a mage of our order." - swiftynifty6mthCommented
lol! Riftan was low-key probably hoping that Maxi would balk at the armor and insist on staying behind. Nope! Maxi is going to jump at any chance to come haha!
Riftan observed her reaction, his gaze full of some unfathomable, complicated emotion, and let out a sigh. He turned around and pulled out a deep blue cloak from the chest. - swiftynifty6mthCommented
Who needs mountains of jewels and the finest of rainment when you have cocktrice armor 😍 Maxi is shaking in her leather boots😏
Maxi eyed the breastplate in surprise. A cockatrice was a high-grade monster that was as rare as a basilisk. Sellers were free to name whatever price they wanted for its skins, and as only a few craftsmen had the skill to work with such material, a breastplate of this quality would have cost an exorbitant sum. - swiftynifty6mthCommented
Yeah was a little surprised at this point that he hasn't jumped in yet.
Disappointment welled inside her. She had hoped he would whisk her away in a fit of burning jealousy, but he remained motionless beside the column even as the gentle serenade ended and a new melody began. Tears threatened to spill from Maxi's eyes. - swiftynifty6mthReplied to boorenna
for real...in enjoy the manhwa version but the pace is too slow...
When she turned to look, Maxi spotted Riftan standing like a dark shadow beside a towering column. Though he was devastatingly beautiful, dressed in a well-tailored black ensemble, he exuded a menacing aura. - swiftynifty6mthCommented
lol so he just saw them whispering in secret😆

Loving the constant pov change in this chapter lol

Preach it! Don't take Maxi for granted!
"Do you expect her to wait for you like a celibate cleric, despite your neglect?" Hebaron said. - swiftynifty6mthCommented
Hubby knows that it is better for Riftan to see the consequences of his decision to isolate Maxi, than to be told that it is a bad idea🤭
"Don't," Hebaron said firmly. He then turned to Riftan. "You plan to send her away, don't you? If so, you should not interfere with her decisions." - swiftynifty6mthCommented
Allowing her to save face I see...
"F-Forgive me, my lady. I thought someone was eavesdropping." - swiftynifty6mthCommented
Elliott is a Remdragon Knight. I would hope that he would be skilled enough to notice when someone is following him haha!
She was turning over these concerns in her mind when someone yanked her arm. With a small shriek, Maxi whipped her head up to see Elliot's serious face. The knight looked startled and promptly released her. - swiftynifty7mthCommented
Being a mage for Maxi was just the means she used to want to help and be useful to Riftan. It also became a way for her to protect you from the Duke. She did it all for you! :(
Turning toward the window, he continued, "Looking back, it occurred to me that becoming a mage was the only decision you've ever made for yourself. Nothing I said could dissuade you, and you refused to give up the path despite nearly losing your life several times. That's how important being a mage is to you." - swiftynifty10mthCommented
Yeah and that's offense and Riftan said you need more defense.
"But I still managed to slay more lamias than anyone!" - swiftynifty10mthCommented
*cringe* there is always that one couple that goes too far in a fight...
"I-I don't want to hide away by myself. To live in comfort while you're— do you not see that I care for you far more than you do for me? How could I leave… knowing that m-my husband is in danger?!" - swiftynifty10mthCommented
Bro not the time lol
She was desperately trying to contain herself when an infuriatingly calm voice cut in. - swiftynifty10mthCommented
Game Over. Kuahel for sure ain't gonna let u go...
Maxi's shoulders tensed at the icy voice. When she turned her head, she found Kuahel Leon leaning against a rock. - swiftynifty10mthCommented
Flippant or not, at least Kuahel treats Maxi like somewhat of a capable person to be relied on instead of some delicate lady needing protection.
"You did not appear to need assistance," the Temple Knight replied flatly. - swiftynifty10mthCommented
Maybe like Ruth once did, Kuahel also thinks Riftan may not be 100% human hence his being being heretical.
The Temple Knight did not answer her right away. He stared into the leaping flames for a long time before slowly opening his mouth. "It is because of his unconventional mindset. Put nicely, he is a remarkable man. Put in a negative light, he treads dangerously close to heresy."
