Galadreal_Simmons1yrCommentedRiftan scowled and pried the woman off him. "You seem to have recovered your strength. I trust you can find your own way to your chambers."- Galadreal_Simmons1yrReplied to Angela_UTOT_MTTDS
well, I moved around a lot as a kid, but live in northwest Arkansas, but I try to maintain no accent when possible. if I get too stressed, and start stuttering, I try to shift to a British accent, mostly because I learned the trick while watching Monty Python, and it just stuck.
Maxi's face fell. She had hoped that Ruth had a special solution for her. - Galadreal_Simmons1yrReplied to Sandsea212
mixed blood, his father was a southerner, and not from Whedon, which is why he has darker skin, also a comparison to a dog of mixed breed.
Looking down at her bright red face, Breston gave her a cruel smile. He leaned closer, his nose nearly touching hers, and said slowly, "Your husband is a mutt. It's written all over his face. Have you not noticed?" - Galadreal_Simmons2yrCommentedWith a smile, Ruth placed his hand inside the pail and drew out a palm-sized creature. It was a large, reddish-brown toad with black spots dotted on its back. Maxi shuddered as the black legs of the dead toad sagged limply.

I think that love rarely entered into these situations. the whole reason the king wanted Riftan to marry Agnes was to keep him closer to the throne, royalty or not, women are still essentially possessions in this novel. Other than fighting together during the war, Riftan and Agnes don't have a relationship. they are compatriots, nothing more.
Flustered, Maxi's eyes darted about before nodding her head in resignation. Seeing the princess's face light up with immense satisfaction, Maxi shook off her creeping anxiety. How could the princess be so affable toward her if she had feelings for Riftan? - Galadreal_Simmons2yrReplied to Heather_R_2878
you can also read it on Ridibooks, which has the original Korean book, as it is being published. I think she puts out 2 new chapters a week. but you have to do an age verification pay for each chapter (no free passes), and translate yourself or with an app or website .
Riftan's eyes intensified, and he slowly closed them as though savoring her words. "Then next year, let's enjoy the festival, just the two of u—" - Galadreal_Simmons2yrCommentedThe blade of Ulyseon's sword gleamed blue. He swung it at the wyvern, slashing through its shoulder joint. The monster's gigantic body lurched sideways. The surrounding trees fell, and the ground shook as if in an earthquake.

no, and if I remember correctly from Ridibooks, hilarity ensues soon enough when that becomes obvious.
Her body did feel heavy and tired, but it was obvious that she would only drown herself in self-deprecating thoughts if she were to stay in bed for the rest of the day. - Galadreal_Simmons2yrCommented
I am sure dealing with anxiety, depression, and emotional solitude are not helping with that.
Maxi shook her head and forced a smile. It was true that she was fatigued and did not have an appetite, but that was from waiting most of the night for Riftan. - Galadreal_Simmons2yrCommented"I have been frustrated with need lately," he mumbled, a hint of self-deprecation in his somber tone.
- Galadreal_Simmons2yrReplied to Tiffie_LynneIgnoring the princess, Riftan looped an arm around Maxi's shoulder and planted a kiss on the top of her head.

leave it to the attendant to get the truth out. Agnes is not a refined and noble lady, she knows how to be, but she is pretty much a tomboy.
"Your Highness, you could always entrust such a task to your knights. Let us admit it is because of your love of overindulging. You go out of your way to join the knights every time they gather… Your actions make me too ashamed to face His Majesty, Your Highness." - Galadreal_Simmons2yrCommented
unpopular opinion, but all political crap aside, I think Agnes really is just trying to be friends with Maxi. She is just very much an extrovert to Maxi's introvert, and while she seems to get along with the knights, she might want someone she has the option be girly with, but also relaxed.
"I see that you are quite guarded, Maximilian." - Galadreal_Simmons2yrCommented
pleasant ride together? not likely with Riftan's surly demeanor, he is only really pleasant around his Maxi.
Maxi stiffened at their easy banter. Just imagining the pair of them taking a pleasant ride around Anatol together was enough to make her stomach turn. - Galadreal_Simmons2yrCommented
I can relate so much, when you are trying to just have a conversation and your things keeps tripping over itself , you feel like a damned fool.
Recently, Ruth had started writing sentences for her to read aloud to loosen her tongue for better enunciation. The exercise would make her tongue feel stiff and sore afterward as though she had bitten down onto a needle. Perhaps it was because it was not a muscle she used frequently. Still, Maxi practiced every morning without fail. She would gladly have bit onto a knife if that were effective. - Galadreal_Simmons2yrCommented
this always feels so good
Even so, when Maxi had managed to utter a full sentence without stumbling, it had brought tears to her eyes. Ruth had been right; staying calm and speaking slowly had been effective in mending her impediment. - Galadreal_Simmons2yrCommented
hero worship much?
Ulyseon leaped up from his seat in objection. "Preposterous! A squire such as myself could never hope to hold a candle to Sir Riftan!" - Galadreal_Simmons2yrCommented
