“Ruth… is a good teacher Even though he’s busy, he tries all his best… to teach h”

Max was trying to defend Ruth but soon bit her lip shut due to the princess’ coldness It appeared that Agnes’ hostility against Ruth orse than she thought Max closed her u the silence was an affirmation, the princess spoke in a subtle tone

“How about coe for you to learn ic froer to learn and practice ic, it is crucial that you learn from a credible teacher”

“If the Lady says she wants to live in the capital, I’ht In Drakium, you will be able to live more luxuriously Grand banquets are held daily in the palace and there are a lot of sights to see in the city You will be able to freely socialize with other ladies”

Max looked up at her char with ladies ere as beautiful and vivacious as the princess Her husband eous people, standing out like peacocks But even without such worries, Max wasn’t even remotely interested to the life in the capital, so she spoke with uth I’m thankful for your o-offer… I a to persuade Max, the princess shed deeply

“I see, both stubborn as oxen”

“Princess Agnes… do you want to b-bring Riftan along with you t-to the capital?”

“My father wants to keep Riftan close by He intends to increase the unity within Whedon by showing to the nobles that he is loyal to the royal faht follows the king, the loyalty of the lords to the royal fathen” The princess suddenly casted a bitter smile “That’s the reason why they tried to forcefears that Riftan will betray Whedon and escape to Libadon or Osyria, since rulers all over the land want to covet the strongest knight”

“Riftan… cherishes Anatol This land… he has n-no intentions of a-abandoning it”

Max urgently spoke, surprised that the royal family had such deep suspicions about Riftan’s loyalty The princess shrugged lightly, and gently agreed

“I think so too I sa Riftan ga Anatol back to life If he had any intention to do about this, he will be surely relieved”

Max carefully looked at Agnes’ face, then spoke

“Your majesty… are you here t-to spy on Riftan?”

Instead of answering, the princess sh to answer Max’s question

“I didn’t … it looks like I confused you I should get going now” She got up froh rest for a day or two for you to recover your depleted et well soon”

For the first tines’ cold blue eyes sparkled with coently at her and then turned around to leave the room Max lied down on the bed, exhausted

It seeotten how to sleep She barely opened her eyes and looked around, the sun was going down and a dim shade hovered over the rooh she slept for a long tiic

“How are you feeling?”

Suddenly, a voice spoke from a distance; Max turned her head, startled Riftan was seating in front of the fireplace with his long legs stretched out

“W-when did you come b-back? I heard you went t-to patrol…”

“I caht away once I received the reports on the accident froht that you need someone to watch over you” He ently touched the cat’s back sitting on his lap “I couldn’t function properly because I was anxiously thinking whether you were sleeping soundly on the bed or not”

“I was j-just in the bedroo”

Max rolled her eyes at Riftan’s blunt response For how long had he looked at her? Riftan definitely needed a break just as much as her She looked at his face worried as he walked in front of the fireplace and placed the cats clinging onto hi because you couldn’t eat properly and slept for a long time I’ve warmed up the soup, can you eat?”

“I think I can eat a l-little”

Riftan grabbed the ladle and stirred the soup inside the pot, took a scoop and poured it into a wooden bowl

“It’s hot, be careful”

Max took the bowl and mixed the clear soup with a spoon It was a thin soup s She blew thefrom it, scooped it with a wooden spoon and placed it in her mouth As the hot, adequately salted soup dripped down her throat, her stoer for that moment Only then she felt how extremely starved she was and pushed the food into her hed with relief

“Seeing that your appetite has returned, you reallyI’m okay”
