We know Riftan is going to be hurt and show it as rage, probably, and I do wish they could have discussed it so he wasn't shut out. But in spite of the era and culture, he should know (again, I guess) how it feels to have your spouse make decisions without you. I'm just worried now that she's showing signs of pregnancy and he won't be with her through it.
I love how Maxi has the confidence to get angry now. When she confronts Riftan, she's not afraid of his temper or that he won't like her anymore for standing her ground. And now she's going from intimidated to outraged at her father's lies. I hope Riftan can see how much she needs to tell the king EXACTLY what her father has done. I thought maybe her sister would testify too. Ah, and how funny is that her father has a stutter.
Tei says Shuraka's fluids are toxic, and I believe him! But it looks like they may be aphrodisiac as well. I wonder if the urge to take out one's siblings stems from the possibility they could all breed uncontrollably like rabbits otherwise and the fight for leadership could last centuries just a dumb thought lol.
I like how everyone looks different, even though I don't mind that much when they all look similar because of the art style, I love how pouty Chase - so pretty! I like his plan to spend all his ruts with Josh, because it means he trusts him. How miserable he must have been to fear his own rut so much
She is making well thought out arguments, which may or may not be her sentiments as well as her father's. I would ask the King to negotiate a settlement where the duke acknowledges his guilt and pays or gives up his position. And then smite the duke on accident. I do want to hear Agnes's real opinion.
The changes she's noticing in Anatol is a reminder that she hadn't even been there a year yet. I'm hoping her father is too embarrassed to retaliate but he doesn't seem to know he humiliated himself by getting caught beating his own injured child who is known as a war hero by the princess and her father.






I feel a round of screen shots coming on...
