Libertine would be a better translation ,I think.
Interrupted by who? One of Riftan's associates ...?
He wants to open something else with his teeth...
Try the first part of the audio for this chapter. "He laid her on her back before tossing off... his shirt." WHY does it have to read the text with a gap between each line... that first paragraph had me in stitches lol!
Aw... he's kissing away her tears while Riftan isn't around to do it.
She thought he was going to be like her father - cold, violent, a bully. But Riftan thought she would be like her father - cold, greedy, manipulative & scheming.
This is why Ruth and Riftan are such a good team. Ruth destroyed the illusion spell, but Riftan was already saving himself from it.
I wonder if it's a translation issue, I thinkit actually means they cut off the feet. Elsewhere in the book, it mentions cutting off criminals' necks or wrists... I suspect in English we would say head or hands, but in Korean perhaps they refer to where on the body the cut is made, instead of what body part was removed.
True. I can't think of anything hotter than a man on fire for his lady, but still treats her like a lady.
Riftan's POV... it's almost all available on here, just a couple of chapters left to be released over the next couple of weeks.
I'm 5'2" & my husband is 6'4"... I think the picture is pretty accurate TBH.
I don't know... the king never seems to feel guilt or personal responsibility, he acts like all his subjects are just useful tools for his convenience.
Riftan doesn't agree, he never seems to accept that some things aren't his fault.
Looks like someone decided to practise curling with those ducks. Cute!
It seems like he's saying more than she realises here. Most of his life has been pretty awful up to this point.
Limned: highlight or suffused something with a bright colour or light. Honestly, I would have used "bathed" rather than limned. Bathed is much more usual way of expressing this, I should think most people would need to look up what limned means in a dictionary.
It's the pattern of his life... he felt inadequate and unwelcome in his own family as a child, then spent his adult life feeling inadequate & unwelcome in society, even felt inadequate amongst the RDK to some extent. He knew the RDK worked solely on a merit system but still he tried to refuse being their commander.
The king needed a hobby... a *different* hobby.
Well, strictly speaking, he is hunting a monster. It's just a very, very long game with this one.
