“”The soldiers, their spirits frayed from ten days of recurring battles, now radiated hope. A few approached her and hoisted her onto their shoulders before Gabel and Garrow could stop them. The elated soldiers appeared not to hear her shriek of surprise. With her still sitting on their shoulders, they marched along the battlement. Maxi glanced around in embarrassment as people began to chant her name””

I am proud of you.”
For a moment, Maxi could not breathe.
Placing a hand on her cheek, Riftan slowly added, “Even when I was close to losing my mind with worry, a part of me was always proud of you.” Tears she had staunchly held back spilled from her eyes. An emotion that was too intense for words erupted in her chest. She recognized the courage
it took for him to share these sentiments.

❤️❤️❤️

“I’ve been through hell the past few months, but they’re still making me climb that damn mountain,” Riftan said with his eyes still closed. “I think I’ve earned a day of lazing around in bed with my wife.”

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Bringing his face close to hers, he said slowly, “Now, explain to me why my mage disobeyed direct orders to protect the rear unit and instead went to infiltrate the city?”
“I-I had no choice! S-Sir Kuahel asked me to locate the necromancer. Eliminating it would be the fastest way to stop the dullahans from coming back to life.”
“So you recklessly snuck into a city overrun with monsters?” Riftan asked🤭

“You owe me, Sir Elliot.”
Maxi’s eyes widened. Standing before them with a smug look on his face was Ulyseon Rovar. No one had seen him since Riftan had deployed him on a separate mission.
Elliot sighed as he rode up to the younger knight. “Did you carry out your mission?”
“Can you not tell? We brought reinforcements from Balto. Four thousand men.

Uly!!! My lovely boy ❤️❤️❤️

Having barely blocked the attack, Kuahel looked up at the other knight with an incredulous expression. “What is the meaning of this?”
“Take your hand off my wife at once,” Riftan snarled, pressing the sharp tip of his halberd’s spear to the clergyman’s Adam’s apple. “If you ever touch her again, I will bash your head in.”

💚🤭

What are you doing inside the city?” an icy voice rang above her head.
Maxi tensed and glanced up to see Riftan coldly gazing down at her from atop Talon.
“W-Well...” she began, managing an awkward smile. She looked to Kuahel Leon for help.
The clergyman sighed and stepped in front of her. “Now is not the time for interrogations. We must retake the city and purify the Sanctuary with all haste.”

I know it’s for the plot that we have Richard Breston’s POV , but I really really do not want to be in his fucking mind. I do not want to know what he thinks or his opinions. he always pisses me off seriously.😫

“”but I am currently in the service of the Remdragon Knights. Since I am not obligated to obey your orders, and you are not duty-bound to protect me, a new agreement is needed.”
A hint of irritation rose on the Temple Knight’s usually indecipherable blank gaze. He eyed her appraisingly before curtly replying, “Very well. I shall swear on my honor as a knight to protect you at all cost.”

“Maxi desperately tried to quell her anger while she mechanically shoveled porridge into her mouth. Ruth, who had been flickering glances at her, blurted out in exasperation, “Can’t you do something about your eyes? They remind me of a dead fish. It’s starting to terrify me.”“Mind your own business.”She did not spare the sorcerer a glance.”

💚🤭

“Riftan wrapped an arm around her flailing limbs. “There’s no need for all this jealousy. I only have eyes for you.”

Cha 156 💞

“Even if your hair turned white, I would still find you captivating.”Though he had spoken the words playfully, Maxi felt her throat constrict. The image of them together, old and gray and still in love, filled her with joy.“You really do have a way with words, you rake.”Shaking his head at her persistent teasing, Riftan could not help but smile. Giggling, Maxi nuzzled her cheek against his neck”

My heart

she admitted,“I avoided you… because being near you made me feel insignificant”

“I find that difficult to believe.” Riftan turned to look at her with a frown. “Insignificant? I worshiped the very ground you walked on. A mere smile from you, and I would have been on my knees. Do you have any idea of the absurd things I did just to catch your eye?”

As for the tunnel dig…”Riftan’s eyes moved between Maxi and Ruth as if wrestling with a difficult decision.

“Maximilian Calypse,” he said eventually, his voice grave. “I leave the task to you.”Maxi felt a thrill down her spine. This was the first time he had entrusted her with a mission. Suppressing the urge to beam like a child, she managed a calm nod.”

“Lady Calypse, the duke’s health is failing.”

Yesssss Amen!! Finally

“Maxi nodded, and he tilted his head to kiss her eyelid.“Whenever you start doubting yourself again, ask me to tell you what kind of person you are,” he whispered. “I will say it as many times as necessary.”

“You taught me how to use a dagger, and I used that training to kill a goblin in the Pamela Plateau.”“You need not lie, my lady. I shall continue to teach you as long as you wish to learn.”“I-It is not a lie! I truly did slay a goblin like this!” Maxi exclaimed, plunging an imaginary dagger into thin air.Ursuline eyed her dubiously, “Must have been an oaf of a monster,” he muttered to himself”
🤣

“Riftan took Maxi to the Remdragon Knights. He assembled the men scattered around the lot and announced Maximilian Calypse’s new position as a mage of Anatol. Thunderous cheers followed, and the overwhelming joy made Maxi dizzy”

Finally!!!! This was all she’d ever wanted 😫❤️

“I never wanted to feel such agony again. That’s why I—”She suddenly ran to him and cupped his face in her hands. Only then did he realize that he was crying, as was she. After gazing at her anguished expression, Riftan weakly hung his head.“But I can’t anymore.”“R-Riftan.”Her warm fingers anxiously caressed his face.

“I never… want to be separated from you again.”

“They remained ensconced in the opulent room for days, just as Riftan had promised. Maxi lost track of the hours, with time oozing by as though they were moored in a swamp filled with sweet nectar.”

“Did you think this would end once you were satisfied? It’s never that simple, Maxi. If I had intended it to end so easily, I would not have tried so hard to hold myself back.”

Holy fuck. This Riftan is too dangerous for my heart

“You must be pleased,” he growled. “Are you happy now that you’ve proven you can drive your man mad with jealousy?”“I-I merely… w-wanted to know your true feelings,” she tried to explain, edging to the side of the bed.After quietly watching her through narrowed eyes, Riftan lowered his head. “You will know it soon enough whether you want to or not,” he muttered hoarsely.”

🫣🤭

“And I suppose you consider yourself the hero of this myth?” Maxi retorted derisively.The man’s eyes flashed dangerously. “It’s certainly a possibility.”“Though I feel bad for you… I doubt that will happen in your lifetime,” Maxi said with conviction.The smirk vanished from Breston’s lips.Maxi met his gaze and emphasized each word as she said, “Because you will never surpass Riftan Calypse.”

“It has been modified to supply mana more easily. Use it immediately if you sense you’re nearly depleted. Though I would like to believe you won’t be so reckless again, I am sadly aware of your impulsive tendencies.”

best boy Ruth 😭❤️

“Is something the matter?”

“Why do you always assume that something must be wrong whenever I try to speak with you?” Ruth grumbled when he saw her face cloud with worry.Maxi narrowed her eyes.

“Because… you’re rarely the bearer of good news.”Ruth’s mouth fell open as if he were about to snap back”

“I-I will make something better for you when we go home,” she said, sniffling while tying the tassel to his belt. “I-I will practice… and make you the most beautiful charm in the world. When it gets worn… I’ll make you a new one. A-And when that needs replacing, I’ll make you another… I’ll keep making them for you, so—”
