The problem I have with Riftan is that he does not love Maxi. He love the woman her father tried to force her to be. He love her appearance and love the idea of protecting a precious noble lady but he dislike everything that make her herself. He doesn't like how passionate she is about things because it make her reckless, he doesn't like her loving people because it make her want to help them, he doesn't like her kindness because it make her put other before her physical well-being, he doesn't like her need to feel useful, he doesn't like her discovering what she wants to do, he doesn't like her going out, he doesn't like her being social. He doesn't like her bravery. What even does he like about Maxi that isn't her body or the fake image her father built ?
Maxi take back her words about him doing the same thing as her father like he isn't but he is. He is trying to force her to be exactly the same person her father tried to force her to be : a weak, obedient, quiet woman that only go where they want and do what they allow. The only difference between the two so far is one was violent and cruel about it.
