Surely if Breston killed that's an instant loss? Shouldn't he be instantly disqualified? Riftan was won by technicality. Although, there is blood in the water and the crowds will riot if those two don't fight.
"I tire of you" as nonchalantly as possible, as if he were swatting a fly. Breston is insignificant.
Oh, his confidence! Maybe he's born with it.
And with that sentence, Riftan knows what he must do.
Aren knows Riftan already knows, but needs to know that Riftan knows that he knows that the church is plotting. All in all, Aren is a man who will always be on the side of that is all good and decent, and he wants Riftan to be solidly on that side, as he knows too well it can shift with Riftan emotionally. Breston is doing his best to unbalance Calypse, and he's got the support network to ensure he stays on track. As much as we all want Breston's head on a spike....
Ruth is trying to gauge Riftan's thoughts because what he says will determine Breston's fate. Riftan will be vengeance. He will be Breston's nightmare incarnate. Riftan will put Breston's head on a spike.
Your goose is cooked, Breston.
It's gotta be Uly - he's called him Riftan's dog before. And Uly hates his guts. Oh man the stakes are high now.
That's called a burn, Breston!
Oh, Maxi, you minx. Well done!
SEND BRESTON IN NOW! Riftan's sexual frustration is his level up power! He will slay everyone and everything!
Thanks, Captain Obvious!
The ability to strike fast and once to disarm or kill is nothing to brag about for Calypse.
Poker faced Riftan strikes again.
WHAT DOES THE CHURCH WANT?! Don't trust them, Riftan!!
Ursuline and his truths. Hits you right in the nucleus.
Which is why she wanted to sneak out the back end of the castle and avoid all the banquets to prevent people to: a) ensure nobody asks her about the rune, and, b) control her image by not making appearances and causing rumours to sabotage her humble demeanor by the general public so the church can't touch her. Yes, your logic is not logical.
What an ending to the chapter! Dragonians obviously saw their chance to pounce on the golem rune maker and the wife of the slayer of Sektor! What was interesting going through the comments was that people believed Sir Kuahel saved Maxi, when it was clearly Uly who chopped the dragonian's arm off first. Kuahel merely dispatched the lizard preventing any questioning. Again, the church is trying to withhold information, and Kuahel performed damage control beautifully. If Riftan knew about the infiltration, he would have not allowed Maxi out of his sight and Hebby would be sent out on a hunting expedition. Kuahel and his fellow Templars appears to have been busy knocking the dragonians off one by one, hence he's so blasé about the whole affair. In an attempt to appear in control, the Church had Kuahel work in the shadows, but this also means the church deliberately withheld information from the Lord Commander. More politics coming our way and an enraged Riftan with hopefully hot desperate rumpy pumpy to make up his "lack of knowledge". Babies will be made. 🤓
Uly saves the day!
Cut that cancerous tumour away! Maxi is no longer under that Duke of Cretin's thumb - she has her own accomplishments and helped save the kingdom! Despite all the fears Riftan had at the start, trying to keep her safe, Maxi held on to her dreams without compromising her integrity. She wanted to fight along her husband and be useful, and Maxi has proven that tenfold. She is Lady Maximilliam Calypse, the Lady of Anatol, The Scarlet Lady, Saviour of Eth Lene Castle and the Golem Queen!
