She really went to the extremes with this one,,, she couldve laid low and plain so she wouldn't be picked at all. But no girlie is gonna whip up a storm and make herself unforgettable lmao
Obv its a complicated situation and everything is very human, we aint always go with the correct solution and perfect solutions for us may not necessarily be the correct for somebody else.
Maxi was reckless for depleting her own health but the responsibility for helping the wounded was higher. Riftan isn't agreeing with her decisions at times and not 'open minded' but it was a very dangerous situation and he could've lost her. Which was a bigger loss for him than losing even the city.
What was a plus for me in riftan was he was there for maxi, prioritizing her recovery not blaming and shouting at her for being reckless, like a strong rock to lean in (and thats also similar to his personality being stoic lol)
Summary is they stubborn and that's what makes this story compelling
All 3 of them got in tragic situations. Ye her issues caused husband to abandon her, she wanted be his only love, but husband still liked navier regardless. I would even say she only loved husband just surface level.(and so did he) And she only got a taste of her own medicine from ergi by the manipulation sht. (If only idiot husband clarified sht beforehand and not belittle navier with her 'impotence')
She had too much dreams of grandiose sht, got way too ahead of herself. She wanted more, the biggest power as the queen. But not the accountability and responsibility of the throne for the people. she isnt fit for it at all.
Obv some people get it to their heads when they get power.. and she is a perfect example of that. Its something she will never grow out of. Pitiful but also stupid.
Either way great writing with their flaws and relationships, and how all of those develop and intertwine together.
Seriously, go away Romeo.
