Comments of chapter undefined of Eve's Gambit

I have a theory. Max was present at the time original Goddess was young. They know each other. That book about magic was written by her. The maze created by her was present in Max's property. Those tome were possessed by her. So Max knew about those tome from very long time. But the question is why does he want it??? Does he want to kill someone powerful like Demon emperor? but as per Lucas he is dead already. Then why does he need such powerful magical artifact???

See this! I just gifted the story: Pizza

i think the prince is as old as his friend, henrik...
