as someone who has read the whole book already, its safe to say, if maxi had stayed home, it would have been way better for her, but end terrible for everyone else. for everyone here who has no idea what will happen and says maxi should go with riftan I only want to say one thing: be careful what you wish for! every decision comes with a consequence!
remember when in this chapter after he mentions that agnes is about to visit, he is watching maxis reaction on her face? he was searching for any sight of jealousy or discomfort. riftan is aware about his own jealousy towards every man that stands in a 20 meter radius around maxi, so he hoped to see a similar reaction from her about agnes. but maxi was able to hide it. riftans biggest fear is that maxi doesnt feel the same way for him, like he for her. seeing her being jealous would confirm to him that she feels the same. so when she managed to hide it, riftan thought he is not as importantbto her like she for him and he is dissapointed. typical miscomunication between them.
I startet to read the story on an illegal translation side, but back then I didnt know that it was an illegal side. under the oak tree is my first webnovel and I didnt know about this kind of illegal translations, till the author of utot asked to stop it. thats how I was able to read the whole first book, but I havent read the second yet, but I know from spoilers what happens in there. the side has deleted utot, but you can still read it on ridibooks. its in korean, but you can translate it with google chrome.
same with me! I really hated ursuline at the beginning, but his development later is amazing and very realistic. he understoods later how wrong his behavior was and how the guilt is eating him and that he doesnt ask for forgiveness, because he knows maxi doesnt have to forgive him if she doesnt want. so he just makes sure she knows he is terrible sorry and maxi forgives him on her own. I love all the RDK and ursuline holds a special place, because of his development abd redemtion. but yeah in this chapter I just want to splap some sense into him 😅
Ruth my baby, you are the best friend and mentor, maxi could ever wish for! I wish I had a ruth and a riftan in my life! also seems like ruth didnt heal ursuline after the incident out of spite for being mean to his best friend 😂 And dont worry guys, ursuline will change a lot and will have great character development later in the story! it will take him a while but he will warm up to maxi later and ironically become the most protective over her, alongside elliot of all the RDK. he will also apologiez to her for his mean behavior.
To everyone who is worried if ricaydo will stay a jerk in the future (careful big spoiler): No! Of all the RDK he gets the most character development and ironically he is the knight alongside elliot who becomes the most protective over maxi! dont want to spoil to much, so lets just say, at one point maxi will do something very brave and dangerous and something very bad happens to her later, while she is trying to safe everyone. this will completly change ricaydos view of her and he will also apologiez to maxi for him being a jerk to her. he has a very well written redemtion arc and literally turns into maxis bodyguard on his own free will at an later point of the story. He is a good man, like the other RDK, but he needs the longest to warm up to maxi, due to his immense hate for her father. but later he realizes how wrong he was and apologiezes for his behavior and becomes one of her fiercest protectors and supporters!
