Who knew that their father was cruel to her too.
And I don't think she was being malicious saying that Maxi would never love her husband. I think in a weird way she was trying to connect to her sister. And also express one of her own concerns as well. They both have anxiety. But Maxine's wears hers on her sleeve because of the awful shit she dealed with. And her sister learned to hide her emotions to protect herself from her father.
There is no therapy wherever this place is. Saying shit outloud is literally the best they got.
The statement had Maxine acknowledge the issue. And now Maxine will try hard to prove her sister wrong, because she does love Riftan.
I understand that this is a reasonable believable plot. Nobility+commoner interaction being so uptight, it makes communication impossible.
It's just so annoying that after how many times their genital have been greeting each other, that can't even give a single, I like that we are married?
Not even a real confession. Just say you enjoying being near each other. GOD!
