True, like if they really knew what the other felt like, they wouldn't have done what they did yk. If he knew, he wouldn't have shouted at her and treated her more gently. If she knew how he felt, she would've blushed because no one was this worried about her before, which is sad, but yeah.
I wish they tell each other what they feel so that there won't be any misunderstandings in both the mc and ml and the readers(the readers in the comments mostly say how he shouldn't have done that, but if we look at it from his side and how he's been so protective of her, I completely agree with what you said.)
If I rolled up to my home after coming back from some bullshit I didn't even want to go. I'm expecting to get home, see a safe domain, wash off the tired, love on my wife, eat some good food, and relax and enjoy my home. However I ride up tired, my gate is broken, soldiers I dont know talking about they here for x y and z, but they swing weapons and terrorizing my citizens, and as I'm about to handle them I find out my lovely wife was in the middle of it all. You best believe I'm pissed. What if I came back later? What would of happened to my citizens let alone my wife?
Deep down I dont think Rift is mad at her, he is just worried. Its probably a feeling he doesn't know how to express well. Plus we already know he is rough around the emotional edges, and it's not his fault that her temper, worries, and self loathing are a result of her fathers abuse. She cant help but feel the way she feels, but he doesnt know anything about her past. He is trying in his own way~
