I got some spoiler about Spoiler: Maxi's family Her father abused both Maxi and her stepsister. He's cruel and selfish. He married Maxi's mother to protect his fortune. Her mother was a part of royal member. Maxi's stepsister is very pretty, a cold beauty, but they don't have much interaction nor feeling for each others. She'll marry the prince, princess's younger brother, also the future queen. Spoiler: The princess A talent wizard, her specialty is fire magic. She also persuades Maxi come to the tower to learn magic and help she growth her power. To summarize, a cool character. She doesn't have feeling toward ML, so no love rival here. But since she attended the war and close with ML and his soldiers so everyone expected that ML and her will become a thing. There will some jealousy come from Maxi thought. Spoiler: Some more about ML He doesn't like status nor money, but bcuz he worried that he doesn't worth with Maxi, whom is a Duke's daughter, so he tried hard to rise his name and earned money for Maxi
Why is this novel called "Under the Oak Tree"? Anyone knows? Also if Agnes power is fire what is Max's?
It's called under the oak tree because riftan and maxi met when they were younger under an oak tree (isn't that just adorable) I'm pretty sure she has earth powers but I could be wrong
I am a patreon member but not far ahead so can’t share much but will try , so what do you want to knekb
I read this on twitter but i’m not 100% sure Spoiler: Spoiler When Maxi decided she would go to the Magician’s Tower, Riftan was against it and only wanted to be with her no matter what he lost and how much he would suffer But Maxi couldn't do something like that, because she knew how much he has been taken care of his land, his people etc. When Maxi told him she would not change her mind Riftan told her in pain - Do not think that you are leaving for me, I haven't wanted this. If you leave, I won't wait. Spoiler: Spoiler 2 The day when Maxi was boarding the ship to go to the Magician’s Tower she was hoping that Riftan would see her off. The ship sailed and Maxi lost all hope and believed that Riftan really won’t wait for her. What she didn’t see was Riftan getting off his horse and running to the empty deck. Riftan cried he didn't know he was crying - murmuring "...It was a lie. That I said I won't wait, I lied."
I'm not certain but I remember someone spoiling that riftan sends maxi to the croix estate for some reason so she can be safe there? idk, but anyway ofc the duke beats her like how could ur husband send u back u useless bch, and then riftan comes unexpectedly to pick her up and discovers her in that state. He'll know about this (Maxi being abused) and will try to attack the duke out of anger. That's why max had to leave Riftan and go to magic school for 3 years to gain power. Him attacking a powerful nobleman endangered him. I mixed two different spoilers that I read and it's not mine
I finally found another spoiler thread of one of my favorite novels. Bless you all for giving spoilers! (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ♥ Now, just a couple of questions for the next part of the story, since I've already read the latest chapter which is chapter 49. OK, so I have a very bad feeling about that merchant. 1. Did he dupe her into buying a lot of useless stuff therefore creating another fucking misunderstanding between Maxi and Riftan? 2. Who will help her learn about arithmetic and house management? 3. I've learned that Maxi has magic power??? That's so cool. So how did she discover it though? I'm so happy that the Princess is not a b*tch. I hope she become BFFs with Maxi and protect our baby girl.
I bought the chapters from ridi and skipped a lot so I don't know most of the details just the general story line and events I deem as major. I also don't know Korean so my interpretation could be wrong cuz MTL. here goes spoilers. ** WARNING--- THIS MIGHT MAKE YOU CRY *** Im on chapter 170 ish so this is far far far down the line Spoiler: Tear Jerker The reason why the knights dislike Max and are hostile to her in the beginning because Duke married her to him so the duke could make Riftan go fight the dragon in his place. Many knights would have died and came close to death if it weren't for Riftan who always fought in the front line. They love and respect Riftan very much but not the cowardly duke. This could be wrong but it is my understanding based on what one of the knights said later. The major event of the story is the war with the trolls. Riftan and his army has to go to defend the border. Max fought tooth and nails to come alone despite Riftan's objections. Finally he allowed her to come along because they needed a magician who could heal. skip skip skip most of the details of the trip.... In one of the major battle/turning point of the novel is when Max used up all her mana to create barriers to trap many of the trolls who would have destroyed the city they were in. During the battle she got super injured. Dislocated shoulder, broken ribs, mana exhaustion, blood lost, and..... she miscarried the baby she didn't know she had... Riftan found out about it but told every one to shut their mouths because it would have caused Max to be too shocked and that would not have helped given her condition. He was heartbroken so he sent her away to a safe place (the imperial palace with princess Agnes) Max didn't know she had a miscarriage until she met her father much later after she arrived at the palace to recoup/recover. He wanted to drag her back to the Duke's estate so that she cant bring shame to his name. He told her that the king was making fun of him and question Rosetta's fertility (Max's half sister). He told her that it is best to be divorced from Riftan so he could marry the princess since the king wants that. Max was super shocked to hear that she lost her baby and ran out of the room she was in with her dad. The knights escorting her ran out from another room to her. She asked them and they confirmed that miscarriage was one of the things that happed to her and they were told to keep it a secret by Riftan. Thee duke came out and told them that he would be taking her back to Duke's castle because it is better for her to be with family. She followed along due to shock. Of course she was abused at the duke's castle... Riftan finally came to Croix's castle but the duke wouldn't let them meet. Max tried to sneak out so she would see Riftan from afar but was caught by the guards. The duke was livid with her so he beat the shit out of her. He told her to take her dress off and started whipping her. She closed her eyes and crouched down in pain but the pain suddenly stopped coming. She slowly looked up and saw Riftan holding the duke's arm. He made a fuss about Riftan stress passing into his castle and it is a felony. He tried to justify his action by saying that it is his way of discipling his kid. He said that there is a healer so there wouldn't be any traces of the wound anyway. Riftan remained quiet and didn't say a word. The duke told Riftan to follow him so they could talk about his crime. Riftan followed him but soon he grabbed a chair and swung it hard at the duke who then flew like a rag doll. Riftan proceeded to beating the shit out of the duke and would have killed him if his knights didn't come and stop him. The knights were able to enter the castle because rosetta drugged the guards and let them in. The rem dragon knight? (Riftan's knights) told Rosetta to call a healer before the duke dies. She just kinda stood there and looked down at the bloody duke. She told them to leave before the other guards come. Riftan took Max out of the castle and went to an inn. I tried my best to translate their conversations.. I smoothed out Max's stuttering dialog to make it flows more smoothly. In the room Riftan started to wipe the blood from Max's body.as he was doing that he asked her, "How often did this happen?"-R She tried to avoid his gaze and looked around bewildered like a corner animal. "what, what … you mean?"-M Riftan stayed silent so that it would force max to answer under pressure. Max tried to make light of it and make excuses so she could keep her last remaining spec of pride (to her being abused is shameful) "When did he do this to you?"-R She tried to avoid it again but she just couldn't. 'what, what do you want to know? I...uh, how often do I get hit..uh, when it started.. you really want to know that?"-M "So, if you are curious.. i'lll answer. It started since I was 8. I stutter... After it became clear. Twice a week I had to read poem in fron of my father. If I don't do well.. in that room..he punished me."-M She said that desperately.. "today... I didn't intend to take you back to Anatol"-R "I thought it would be better for you to stay here. If you want I would have let them keep you...I kept repeating to myself over and over again. Let's go back after checking your face once to make sure you are healthy and well. Just to see you once then I will go back. This time I wont force you to come with me like last time"-R Riftan's voice is trembling and unstable at this point. "I asked the duke to let me see you just once. The man said you didn't want to see my face. at that monetn, I felt like the world was collapsing underneath my feet" - R "I, I have nerver…"- M "That has never been the case, I never said I didn't want to see you"-M "Then why did you follow the man? Why?"-R "Wouldn't it have been better to wait for me? Rather than being with me..was it better to be with a person like that?"-R "I thought you wouldn't want to see me again"-M "We had a child... I lost it..."-M "So... you thought I wouldn't want to see you?"-R "what else could I think of when you told me to leave and said nothing else?"-M "I didn't want to see you hurt anymore!" Yelled Riftan Then he shouted "Since I took you to Anatol, you have been in danger many times. When I saw your bloody figure. I thought it was all my fault! Why should you go through this? The thing that made you pregnant, that made you chase after such a scum! It's all me" Max was speechless. Riftan continued "I should have left you alone. I shouldn't have taken you to Anatol.. I knew from the beginning that you didn't want to marry me! If I really loved you I should have let you go when I came back the first time. I thought that it would have been better for you if I didn't come back alive. While you were unconscious.. I only thought that' Riftan started to shake as he tried to suppress his tears but he kept going. "If it wasn't for your sister, I would have left you here! Why didn't you tell me? What he has been doing to you... Why didn't you tell me? If you had told me he wouldn't be able to come near you. No matter what, I'd protect you. Why didn't you let me know? Why?" Max started rambling about how shameful she is how she is nothing. She didn't want him to think of her as less she didn't want him to know how she has lived worse than an animal when he thought of her as a fragile honorable young lady of a duke's. She started crying when he hugged her. "I... I've been thinking of you for so long"-R "There wasn't a moment when I didn't think about you. Even when you didn't know that such a man exist in this world... You were the only one for me. The more I hope for you the more vain and miserable I became... but I couldn't stop"-R "I thought many times, many times... Let's stop now. The more I think of you the more lonely I became. No what who I became, I was alone. Let's stop today.. Let stop chasing someone you cant reach.. I was always chasing you"-R "I didn't think your heart was mine. Since meeting you, my heart hasn't been mine. so how could you be nothing?...How could you be nothing" The conversation ended and they just hugged each other and cried in silent... (;__ so sad..... She thought she was nothing and that it was shameful to be abused. He thought she is his world and someone he could never reach....
1. Yes, but the butler? I think talked to her about it and made her cancel a bunch of orders. No misunderstanding was created for max and riftan bc of it 2. the butler I think. 3. Ruth the wizard of the knight order found that she has affinity for magic and told her.
Thank you for this spoiler This is the time right before they part and Maxi goes to Wizardry school correct? I’m going to mentally prepare myself for this pain train
