    That last sentence. Well said 👏

    Ludis seemed to read her mistress's mind and put extra effort into painstakingly braiding her curls and winding them with silk. She finished it off with a stunning jewel-encrusted coronet.

    Me already waiting for the great turn where his life is in danger and only Maxi is there to save him

    Ursuline eyed her with contempt, then spat out, "Are you even capable of reciting the spell?"

    Okay, in Riftan's defense, I really didn't think he would back out of this so soon.

    "Do as you please."

    But she is and will be exposed to war and injuries, except she feels helpless and useless now. I know Maxi dreams of going with Riftan on his raids, but that is not part of the conversation just yet. Also, if I try to defend Riftan, It is obvious he is trying to protect her, but he will occasionally leave her for God knows how long, and when he's not around to protect her I don't think Maxi is safer without magic than with it.

    I feel the same. While I know Riftan wouldn't hurt her in any such way, Maxi just isn't aware of it yet, and this sounds like something to remind her of her father's ways, again 😩 the poor soul just cannot do anything without paying for it.

    Okay okay Uly is great, but ELVES? I hope it's a reference for future stuff 👀 Oh my, imagine Maxi turning out to be a descendant of the elves. Rosetta could go hide in Maxi's shadow 😍

    "You are the spitting image of the elves of old! White becomes you, my lady. You have always been lovely, but tonight, you are breathtaking!"

    It's beautiful 🥺🥺🥺 I love this book more with each paragraph. And Ruth has a major role in it.

    "The words are used interchangeably, but in theory, they are different in nature. If mana is a stable force that exists in equilibrium in the natural world, magic is a force of considerable instability that was forced to accumulate inside the body of a human or a monster. While mana adheres to the rules of nature, magic goes counter to it."

    Ya'll arguing about historic facts in a fantasy? Why would it clash with magic? I think this single sentence is brilliant and adds a lot of depth to the whole lore.

    But most importantly, are you less sad now? Or do you need a hug? 👀

    Wait, is he being considerate? Is this still Ruth or did I fall asleep and skipped a chapter or two?

    "I didn't mean to frighten you, my lady," Ruth mumbled in surprise when he saw her blanche. "That wasn't a proper conversation to have with you. Blast! My apologies. Being in the company of rowdy men can make one rather tactless."

    That's what I thought, he wasted no time staying and even came back earlier, when did he have the time.. 🤔😁

    Riftan pointed to the chests being unloaded from the wagon. "Every one of those is filled with gifts for you."

    I feel a bit confused about him behaving on 2 polarities with her. He's breaking himself to fulfil her needs resulting from her birth class and be good enough for her, but is so much the opposite when they are intimate that it is very clashing.

    "You fanned the flames yourself, Maxi." Riftan lowered himself onto her.

    Ain't it a little bit harsh on Riftan and Co.?

    "M-My lady!" Ruth cried, a hint of desperation in his voice. "Aren't you worried that your future child will grow up to be nothing but a sword-swinging fool?"
