People always like to say "oh he doesn't know maxis past, so ofc he expects her to want to live like a princess". But really? What would him knowing about her past change? What does it even matter? What is actually happening here is that he disregards her wishes and what she is SAYING. Do you think he'd stop putting maxi on a pedestal if he knew her past when he doesn't even listen to her???? If I had been raped and as such was sensitive to touch and would tell my partner "don't touch me" but they didn't knew my past would it be okay if touched me? OF COURSE NOT. I said no. Maxi said she doesn't expect luxury, she couldn't gave been any clearer. Yet he denies her any agency over her life. Remember: he didn't agree because she wanted to go, but because the soldiers wanted her to. From the start he has been a pouting baby becasue maxi didn't do was he wanted.
And y'all need to chill with maxi not casting a barrier yet. To me it seems as if the battle has been going on for about 10 seconds and maxi is a battle first timer. Soldiers have similar reactions. Riftan and his people are veterans so ofc their reactions are quicker. I expect she will have saved everyone with her barrier. Very very sure.
