My heart sank at him crying like that! Poor guy
Same I can't take her seriously
Ok so are we gonna give dude props for beating the living crap out that predator tho?!
I feel like the men are being all yes men to her and going along with whatever she says.
They're used to it and used to seeing the princess be so adaptable to war and things that they think it's going to be something she can endure.
I like that she's speaking up but this isn't the time nor place for that.
She spoke of how she is the lady of the territory and as a lady in that time period with no fighting capabilities, she should be tending to the territory and improving the way of life there for their people. Being a woman who takes care of home and the people are her is strength too. That's strong and growth too. Everyone has their roles to fill with everything and in this case hers is at the castle.
This man Riftan has been to war many times and he and his men are used to the perilous conditions (as they mentioned) they'd face on the journey.
I don't know what she's trying to prove by being so insistent on attending the expedition with them.
If she does and gets hurt then what? I think that Riftan in this case has every right to Check her just as she had to check him before on his bullshit too.
Understandable why you would be, but truthfully this whole situation creates great growth in their relationship, and honest to God is one of my favorite parts of their story. :)
Totally agree with you. Like everybody mad at Riftan but like do they forget what time period they are in?! Like it’s totally understandable & reasonable for him not to want his wife to go
Exactly cause if she dies then what?
I feel you but she has no combat skills or even full defensive skills. She just started speaking up for little things and has a hard time maneuvering around the castle. I want her to grow but this ain't the time or situation to do so
The reason why Riftan doesn't convince Maxi in any way is because he SUCKS at communication. He kept only stating how she needs to get protected. and HE COMPARED HER TO A PRINCESS SHE'S ALREADY INSECURE ABOUT.
He doesn't get to explain why he only thinks that way. He's like 'Hey, dog, sit down here. You only need to obey my orders that's what'
He needs to actually show that he believes that she can do it and this is just not the right time! No, he doesn't do that instead he's like 'you only need to sit here and look pretty to me because you're my wife'. He degrades her. He's in love with the vision of her, not really HER.
I wish I could like this comment more then once LOL so true!!
Maxi lacks the proper defensive training and is barely a step out of being a beginner mage. Another commenter pointed out that she also hardly eats and is indeed as frail as Riftan points out. Of course they're all gunna have doubts about her making it through the journey!
Finally, someone said it. Thanks.
I've been waiting for someone to comment this.
Imagine if there's an emergency during their journey, what do u think will happen apart from everyone trying to protect her.
Like he's such a cute and kind guy that I would've loved to date him. Shame on the bully mean girls
"you broke bitch I'm the best you've got. Marry me. " ╮(￣▽￣)╭
I'm so petty so past life or not I would have told him to fuck off lmao.
Probably the worst Harlequins I've read
