Maybe Maxi and Riftan will have a conversation about the duel between Riftan and Ritch in the next chapter. Some sentence from Maxi will make Riftan think and through that he will calm down and will fight the duel with a clear head and win. Everyone knows that nothing good comes out of it and you become blind with anger and can't think clearly. I also think that Ursuline will watch the fight together with Maxi. Maxi will scold him to rest but he won't want to miss the fight.
I have had the same question most of their plots take during the medieval times and few from their history time even if it's any genre. I wonder what is about the middle ages that interests them to write about?
I thing is a mix of things. European middle ages are "exotic" to them and European middle ages are like a "default" fantasy setup (middle ages in europe=fantasy world) thanks to Hollywood and prominent writers such as Tolkien. And it's usually the western European middle ages - french, english, german. Almost never we see stories about estern parts (Slavic). Sometimes we get stories from Wallachia & Scandinavia.
He wont, dont worry.. his next match is with Riftan, they are buddies how can Riftan severely hurt him
Middle Ages is also known as Dark Ages. The power of church is if I am not mistaken is higher than Holy Roman Emperor.
As the chapter is long @kim rabbit must be working on it. In a quick summary, Rich makes it clear to Riftan that his intention is to fight like a dog, with no regard for the rules of chivalry. Maxi who moved to stop the two arguing was stopped by Gabel. Only barbed words were exchanged between Riftan and Rich. Maxi decides not to follow the tournament and stays as a support for Ruth in Ursuline's treatment. Switches to Riftan's point of view, he waits for the last duel of the day to happen and goes straight to the infirmary. He doesn't see anyone there and when he leaves to go to the knights' dormitory, Serjour stops him and tries to show how Rich is manipulating the tournament to take away the honor and shine, trampling on chivalry. The intention is to defy the peace treaty, but the fact remains that Rich is the son of a northern warrior and depending on how Riftan fights, he could bring the wrath of Rich's father. Although father and son are not on good terms, parents do not think right when it comes to their children's well-being. Seeing that it is not possible to convince Riftan, Serjour says that there is no other choice but to defeat him, even admitting that Riftan is superior to him. Riftan heads to the knights' quarters to Ursuline's room. The knight is asleep and his wife is sitting on a chair beside him. Riftan is jealous, but when he sees Maxi's tired face he calms down. Maxi says that Ursuline has had good treatment but needs to stay in bed until he has fully recovered. She had to give the knight medicine to sleep as he was agitated. They leave the room and have a cute conversation. Riftan promises that she will never need to heal him wounds. He tells her to be patient as it would all be over tomorrow. Despite the day's built-up anger, seeing his wife's face calmed Riftan. It seems to cut the scene to the next day from Maxi's point of view, it rained heavily all morning and the arena was full of mud. Despite the heavy summer rain, the audience was even bigger than the other days. EDITED **I said that seems to be Maxi's point of view, as the final paragraph says that "he" looked up to the sky and turned to the audience. However as pronouns are not trusted by Google Translate, I assume it's Maxi since the scene shifted to the next day.**
Renaissance (the French word for "rebirth") describes a three-century European cultural epoch in the period of transition from the Middle Ages to modern times. Characteristic was the revival of the cultural achievements of Greek and Roman antiquity, which became the benchmark for subsequent Renaissance works by scholars and artists. I think Korean authors are mainly interested in the Middle Ages because of the church, king-empires and the intrigues, love and wars that go with them.
It's raining, when it rains is an omen something is going to happen. I think Riftan might get hurt while dueling with Richt. I wonder why Riftan never wants Maxi to heal him even he gets hurt
Spoiler: Chapter 206 Chapter 206 Max looked at Richt with an angry look. Supposedly Richt's arm must have been badly damaged since he was swinging a large sword with a gash in his shoulder. But richt looked relaxed while being treated by the high priest. Richt continued to jeer about the match earlier, so riftan started walking towards him. Max was about to block riftan but Gabel stopped her. Gabel said that this was not the right place for maxi to meddle. If riftan had a sword fight here then he wouldn't be punished either. Riftan said to Richt, does Richt still want to fight with him even though it tarnishes the honor of his own family. Richt actually gave the answer that it was what he wanted. Richt said he would make Riftan have the same fate as his 'pet dog'. Because richt would really fight like a dog. He even imitated the sound of a dog growling. Richt provoked him by asking Ritan for a duel now. He even got ready by wielding his greatsword. Riftan just looked at him without expression. The trumpet sounded to break the tension. Riftan was summoned as a contestant who will compete next. Riftan warns Richt that he will receive retribution for his actions. Maxi had no interest in watching the current riftan match. She chose to be by Ruth's side and help treat Uslyn's wounds. After the match, Riftan immediately went to the medical room and did not find Ruth, Maxi and Uslyn there. Seojur came and told him that ruth took uslyn to the great crusade. The treatment seems to be going well. Seojur wanted to talk to him but Riftan refused. Seojur, who did not give up, said that he would be the one to speak and Riftan only needed to listen. Seojur said that tomorrow they would meet in the semifinals. Apparently it was because the pope wasn't sure if seojur against Richt. Because if the uigru reincarnation which announced by the council of 7 nations was defeated by the side that opposed the peace treaty, that shouldn't happen. That's why Riftan has to beat Seojur well and then also destroy Richt. Riftan asked what point he wanted to say. Seojur hopes that riftan can keep his decency until the end because this competition is very noble. Riftan laughed. He said that he had no intention of destroying seojur's face in public. Seojur laughed back and thanked Riftan about the joke. But what he really meant was, he wanted Riftan to maintain his honor as knight even when dealing with Richt. Seojur added that Richt must have deliberately trampled on uslyn in the fight so that the arena turned into a barbaric fight. But he hoped Riftan wouldn't do the same as Richt. Riftan found it difficult to accept this suggestion. Richt frequently threatened his wife and messed up the riftan's plans. Riftan is having a hard time being patient anymore. Seojur persuaded him. The great crusade held this competition to create harmony among the 7 kingdoms. They wanted to tap into the lost public spirit by using the wigrew myth. But Richt wanted to destroy those plans and wanted to turn the competition into an unpleasantly barbaric arena rather than a celebration of Wigrew's memory. Riftan knew about it but he was still provoked by the provocation made by Richt. Seojur continued to explain. Riftan seems to be campaigning peace treaty, but if Riftan handles Richt barbarically, will Richt's father, Geyhart Bleston, be silent if his son dies in a fight which organized by the church? Riftan said that those were the consequences that Richt had to bear if he took part in this competition. But seojur said that even though Richt and his father were against each other, Geyhart still considered Richt as his heir. Riftan knows that what seojur said is the truth. But his anger was too much for him to accept the advice. Seojur said if riftan sticks to his stance (to slaughter Richt) then he will beat riftan and advance to the final. Riftan taunted him that seojur knew that was impossible. Seojur replied that he knew that the riftan's skill was above him but he never felt that it was impossible to beat riftan. Because in a competition, we don't know what will happen. Riftan was surprised by his statement. Seojur is very confident even though he knows his own limits. Riftan entered the knights' quarters. They are having dinner. The atmosphere was suddenly silent because of his arrival. He went upstairs, to a room at the end of the hall because Uslyn didn't like noise. He saw his wife sitting beside Uslyn's bed. A little jealousy appeared to see his wife getting tired of treating other people and standing guard beside her patients. Riftan asked about Uslyn's condition. Max said the treatment was going well. It took more time to make his hands move freely as before. Entire major muscle groups are severed and nerves damaged so there may be side effects. Maxi stopped talking with bloodshot eyes and looked exhausted. Maxi wanted to leave because she was exhausted and had spent a lot of mana on Uslyn's treatment. Max looked at riftan and asked if Riftan was hurt. Riftan spread his arms as if telling Maxi to see his condition. Riftan said that he was fine. Riftan put his forehead on his wife's forehead and said that Maxi had worked hard. Maxi said that it was Ruth who was more tired and she was only helping him. Maxi said in a strangled voice and she buried her face in her husband's shoulder. Riftan told her to be patient and promised that tomorrow everything would be over. Riftan promises that maxi will never heal his wound (that means riftan won't get hurt). Riftan was angry all day because of the incident that happened to Uslyn. He wanted to tear someone to pieces. But when he saw his wife's eyes, he felt strangely relieved. "I will believe you. You have to win well". "I swear".
Both of you, @kim rabbit and @JosianeLoures, million thank you for your spoiler of chapter 206. @MARSEA12 and @Selina-may, thank you for the knowledge. Kim Soo Ji, thank you and stay healthy.
@kim rabbit i think in the last paragraph of your spoiler, Maxi is the one asking Riftan whether he is hurt (because he just had a competition before seeing her there) and Riftan is the one spreading his arm to show her that he is unhurt. Anyone else understand the same way? Cmiiw
I think he'll be fine, but like with every injury (example broken arm) it will take time to recuperate and return to his full potential/peak from.
I guess no matter how big the side effects are, it won't make him like a cripple. It was clear that he could move his hands more fluidly with time. after all, there won't be any more wars against monsters or humans (in the near future) so he won't tire himself out with his hands. he can rest and focus on administrative tasks in Anatole, also he can train his left hand to match his right hand. Uslyn has devoted his life to riftan and maxi. but, after this incident, I'm sure he'll be more protective of maxi as a form of return and thanks to his mistress. Uslyn really doesn't talk much so it's hard to expect sweet words from him. But uslyn always takes care of maxi wholeheartedly like the other RDK
