@Damon_swifu I think my issue is more that she had a place to stay, a place shes been staying. Father or not, he doesnt outrank Agnes, and in this type of setting women post-marriage belong to their husbands more than their fathers, meaning he has no actual authority to dismiss the knights. I'm upset she didnt even try to stay, but Im more upset that Agnes and the knights aren't pushing back beyond asking her a singular question.

@BlueBay I think the main problem is that Maxi didn't say her goodbyes properly with Riftan. She didn't understand why he was so upset with her, so she assumed it's because she wouldn't be able to give him an heir.
Also, when you are abused for years, and treated like trash, you believe you ARE trash. She didn't think Riftan would want her back after losing her child. Honestly, she doesn't even understand why Riftan would love her back. She still lacks confidence and doesn't love herself to believe she can be loved back. She believes she lost her right as a wife because this is all she is good for.
Her dad brainwashed her well and this takes years to heal.

@BlueBay I completely agree with you on this point
