Kindle Notes & Highlights
Ignoring the princess, Riftan looped an arm around Maxi’s shoulder and planted a kiss on the top of her head.
“It’s different from what I feel for you.” “What… do you feel… for me?”
“You will never know how I felt when I saw you unconscious on the ground.”
GASP GABEL TOO?!?!
“You may do as you please.” “I fully intended to,” the princess quipped. Maxi silently debated whether or not to put her cloak on again. Noticing this, the princess snatched the garment from her and sat on it.
“He only had us wed because he did not think I would come back alive,” Riftan said in a terrifyingly gentle voice. “But come back I did, and our marriage was legitimate. That man no longer has any authority over you. I am your family now.”
“You were sneaking looks at me like you wanted to gobble me up, then urged me to hold you. Tell me that is not seduction.”
“Feel free to use them all, my lady. We can catch more for you whenever you wish. After all, it is a knight’s greatest joy to be able to serve a lady.”
i love this kid so much it’s unbearable
“Your adorable antics are happening more frequently these days. I’m a happy man.”
“Be good.”
“The princess is a grand sorceress with a lifetime of experience! How could you compare yourself to her?”
“Nothing good happened today, so let me at least end the day on a high.”
She could not say so for the others, but Ruth was as important to her as he was to Riftan. He was her mentor and the first friend she ever had.

“Gabel, escort my wife back to her chambers.” It was an obvious dismissal. Maxi wet her lips. “R-Riftan… I did not mean to interrupt. I was just… w-worried for those who joined the campaign… and I wanted to
know what the Remdragon Knights i-intended to do…” “And why would that concern you?” Riftan shot back. Hurt, Maxi glanced up at him before saying hesitantly, “Th-There c-could be something I could do to help—” “Gabel!” Riftan bellowed over his shoulder. “Did you not hear me? Why are you not escorting her ladyship back to the great hall?” Maxi’s lips twisted into a frown. She could feel the knights behind him regarding them warily. Gabel, who had been hesitating in the back, walked out of the council room and stood next to her. Grabbing the door handle, Riftan said in a gruff voice, “Don’t

“You are also close with Mage Ruth, so it is understandable that you would be worried, my lady.”

Though the knights had not dared to suggest it, it was clear that they privately thought of taking her.

“Shut your mouth.”
BOO!!!!!
He would rather die than take me somewhere dangerous… How selfish! He forces me to remain within the confines of this castle while he throws himself into danger? Do others’ feelings not matter as long as he is at ease?
E-Every master… w-was once a beginner, no?” “How very… persuasive, my lady,” Hebaron said with an enigmatic expression which was neither a smile nor a frown.
“Explain to me what my wife is doing here.”
“You keep your mouth shut.”
“Must you speak so harshly? It is because you are so mulish that her ladyship had to resort to coming directly to us! Do not act like you have caught us in some conspiracy!”
“If you succeed, my lady, the commander will no longer be able to object. Please knock him down a peg.”
Riftan turned to Maxi, his gaze imploring her to choose him, but she quickly looked away. She would be mad to select him.
Maxi nervously eyed the wall of earth. A few more thuds followed, but it did not break down. Even she could not believe it. After staring in bewilderment, she turned to Riftan triumphantly.
