thing is, he doesnt know. she hasnt told anyone about any of that yet.
Doesn't matter. She could have had an wonderful childhood and still be scared by his attitude. Wouldn't you be? Riftan is a big dude and the strongest warrior in the Kingdom. He's obviously still angry about the attack and now he is speaking angrily to you.
I'd bet that the only reason why she hasn't tried to run this chapter is because she's used to being beat.
in sorry u typed all that, but im correcting the wrong statement that "he knew"
He didn't have to be so mean to her. He didn't have to speak that way to her knowing how much she suffered from verbal and physical abuse.
