She's become Ruth from Book 1
In book 1, when Maxi first left Anatol for her first campaign (ch. 121), Maxi asked why they were wasting time collecting mana stones from the dead drakes. One of the knights replied: “We are not collecting them merely because we think it a waste not to. If we do not take them, the stones will gather mana from their surroundings and create an undead. In fact, if we were to follow the doctrines of the Orthodox Church, we would have to purify the carcass by burning it completely. It is practically impossible to incinerate such a massive monster without magic, though, so people tend to extract the magic stones instead.” I would assume then that most monsters they faced during the initial dragon campaign were not purified bc they couldn't start any fire in the Lexos Mountain.
Nooooooooooo! That was an abrupt cut-off!! The readers need a break from the war too!! Give me my cuddly time!
No one would send Riftan to "seduce." The man doesn't know how to flirt! I think the princess must have fallen for him on her own.
He could repeat the exact same question to her.
This must still be an unusual sight for Hebaron. His commander suddenly smiling.
If that’s his duty as a mage of the coalition army, then it would also be Maxi’s duty. Yet, Riftan had her sleep and even had a little cuddle time with her, reminiscing their past while Ruth stayed up all night putting that document together.
He suddenly stared at her with a look of intense loneliness, as if stricken with grief. It was never explained, not even in Manta.
Maxi? Expletive?? 👀
Did she ever give her fellow mages an update to her new position? Or did she just leave without a word? I’m curious as to what becomes of Sidina.
I’m so impressed with Maxi’s ability in understanding multiple languages: the language they usually speak, ancient tongue, and elvish.
Oh please, oh please let Riftan’s POV continue into next chapter. I need to read his mushy feelings after receiving that adorable kiss.
What would have happened if Maxi did leave a note, or if the maidservant did communicate clearly? Would he have still sent her off?? That would mean the miscommunication in this chapter actually led to a better outcome. So unexpected.
Tbh, if the roles were reversed and it was Riftan closing in on another woman, I’d be RAGING MAD! Like, unforgiving kinda mad! But bc Riftan has been causing me so much distress and heartache throughout all of Book 2, I feel VINDICATED!! FINALLY!
Hebaron hitting my thoughts exactly on the head is so exhilarating
The way this comment made me spit out my toothpaste while brushing my teeth! 😂
Sounds like a certain former politician in the states.
Gasp! She will be back to her ancestor’s palace! Where she would have been the sole ruler - the Queen!
