    Neither. In Riftan's POV, it's either he was nicknamed Calypse by the other members of the Black Horn, as he is the strongest, or he styled himself just that. He hasn't really taken to the name, but as he does not have any other appealing option from his past, the name stuck.
    I pored through publications of the meaning of the name, it's associated with
    1. Greek goddess Calypso, of the strange power and beauty, neither good or evil, whose names means "hidden" or "to conceal"
    2. Latin Chalybs, meaning iron and steel
    - by extension, Chalybes, one of the two peoples (the other is the Chaldoi) who lived in Northern Anatolia, who were known to the Ancient Greeks as "ironworkers"
    3. Indo-African type of folk music, which is the least related

    I guess, the name Calypse then means "strong as iron", which suits him rather well. :love:

    Right in keeping with the novel! :ROFLMAO: The strip was brilliant! I wish I understood more Korean and Spanish, there are a lot of fanart about modern setting.

    Wow! This must be it. Since, they had no way of knowing, the Duke egotistically assumed his first born is a male, then it became too late to change when her predicament became clear. :unsure: I cannot imagine her having any other name now, especially, her prowess is just manifesting. :love:

    :aww: Beautiful! The Red-haired lady circa Battle for Eth Lene. :aww:
    Thanks for sharing, sempai. #saved
    A lot of amazing, amazing fanart. :blobnosebleed:

    It will be brief.
    Chapters 78-79
    The World Tower Wizards are severely understaffed, working on the devices. The ladies see Balto soldiers and they just wonder about how very hulking and crass and intimidating they are, comparing them to barbarians. They talk and speculate about their history. Maxi, escorted by Ulyseon, has a run-in with Richt again, who hurts her arm in a strong grasp. Sejour (Sejuleu) Aren manages to diffuse the situation, sayin "Do not tarnish your father's name" to Richt. Uly tells Riftan about it, and Riftan goes to Richt to warn him forcefully. They agree to settle it after the battle.
    As Maxi goes to the Allied Forces meeting (regarding battle plans for Pamela Plateau), as Calto's representative, she sees Agnes with Riftan again, which makes her sad and jealous. She sits with Miriam in the meeting and Riftan leads the discussion about the map.

    Ohmigoodness! There it is! He named himself! The sword is his parent, his source of sustenance and livelihood. Awww, Riftan. :cry:
    I learned a lot here! Wow! He was also taught by Commander Triden to read and write, but he taught himself other disciplines. He is smart, but not much curiosity, and he would rather use his body/ skills in his means. Enter, "For some, I have been called a lumbering oaf", or words to that effect. :ROFLMAO:
    Thank you very much indeed, sempai! :blobnosebleed:

    Here for Chapter 141 in a bit! :love:

    Same here, sempai! Just less than a couple more. :blobtorch: I was whiling away my time on Reddit, and I was asking whether you or other sempais happened to be one of them. :blobsweat: I sent them the link to this forum to be enlightened more.

    Angels got your back, sempai! Even when I read Ridi, I still wait for and gobble up interpretations here. :blobsweat:

    Oh no! I was just wondering why it wasn't up yet! I usually get to read it and feedback on here all before I go to work. If I remember rightly @Sa12Ben18 you're in Germany? I'm in the UK so hopefully I'll be approximately the same time as you. However, I'll be in a meeting by then :cry:

    I think it will continue to the end. I can't see why they'd cancel it, I think it's really popular.

    Who’s in Canada here? Huhu Next week I’ll be moving to Canada for life lol! Ahh!!!
    Anyways, 141 is up. Will edit this post later

    okay can i justvtalk about how rude the duke and his vassals are? What an a-hole hahahaha

    The scene started with Maxi observing the city street of Croix. It’s completely lacking than Anatol. No street vendor were selling on the streets.

    Then Ruth cut off her thoughts when he said that at least they won’t stay in barracks. True enough, the RDK unit found a place to stay in a large inn. Meanwhile, Phil Aaron Knights will stay in a different area, they will rent out houses for the other soldiers.

    Then ofcourse, Maxi and the rest went in the inn. Maxi was supposed to take a warm bath, but because there is a lack of people working there, her bath wasnt readily prepared. The maid just suggested that Maxi come down to eat.

    Maxi went down and went immediately towards Riftan. Riftan was talking to Hebby, he noticed Maxi and smiled gently hihi.

    This was such a fluff scene. Riftan kept slicing the food for Maxi, like that of a servant. So Hebby teased him. lol!

    Then, the mood suddenly changed when the vassals of the Duke barged in the inn and commanded the whole RDK to leave immediately. what an a-hole!!!!

    Ofcourse, Riftan and Hebby had a pretty heated argument with the Vassals. but that A-hole kept insisting they leave. The other armies can stay, but not RDK.

    So Riftan was like, “ 1.) I paid for everything. 2.) Anatol never did anything illegal to Croix duchy 3.) We never harmed innocent citizens ….. BUT now you gave me a reason to hurt someone.”

    Chapter ended with that. Will there be a fight next chapter? Or the 4 vassals will piss on their pants and just go back to duke papa. hahahahha cowards!

    OMG pity Remdragon Knights and Maxi..
    The city admin chased them out from the duchy
    They are not even allowed to spend the night in the inn there :cry:
    And Maxi is already tired and sooo hungry she ate greedily.
    Err is she pregnant or what? :p

    Updated:
    *By the way the one who chase them out is the city administrator, not the duke himself and im not sure whether he is delivering the message from the duke. Did the duke knows Maxi n Riftan are in his duchy? If yes will he invite them over to his castle?

    Well I don't think Riftan will go without a fight. His last words of the chapter are we never hurt anyone without reason, so don't give me a reason to hurt somebody now.

    I don't know if the Duke sent this guy, more likely there is a standing order not to allow Remdragon to enter the Dutchy ever since Riftan beat up the Duke 4 years ago. But the Duke is a fool if he will deny entry to the Continental Army sent to defend his lands because Riftan is leading it. What a petty jerk.

    I hope Maxi gets her bath.
    Oh and I really do think she is preggers. And I love how Riftan likes her showing a good appetite lol, and Hebaron teasing them. Reminds me of banquets in Anatol. Its like Maxi is home wherever Riftan and Remdragon are.

    I am curious to see whether it will really come to a fight or a duel or whether Maxi will intervene and change things for the better or change the man's mind with words.

    Im also wondering if maybe in a few chapters Riftan will go to his mothers grave and let go of his anger of her. He doesnt need to forgive her but tell her he is ready to let go of the pain she caused him. Then Maxi will spot him and realize he lived at Croix too.

    I totally agree: Maxi will need to solve this, sooner or later.
    I wouldn't put it past the Duke to somehow corner Riftan with stupid circumstances (like he did kn the past) and jail him, and Maxi has to negotiate his release or something. And in the meantime Breston would put up his hand to lead the army in Riftans absence, trumping Uslkn/Hebaron.

    This chapter brings to the forefront all the unfinished business they have with her father.

    Oh my god.
