Status Updates From Under the Oak Tree: Season ...

“You… arrogant fool! Narrow-minded clod! Have you no… no consideration for how it must have been for me? Do you have any idea how hard I studied so I could return to you as q-quickly as possible? I-If you were just going to ignore me… why did you even follow me here?!”“And you?”

U tell him Maxi girl

“D-Do you… remember the last time we ate stew together like this? It was raining… and you made it by boiling herbs and sausages in a flask. D-Don’t you think this tastes similar? I sometimes found myself missing that flavor, so I came up with this recipe after several attempts. People… generally seem to like it whenever I make it for them”

Riftan please, enough with the cold shoulder

Yesss this is the reunion that I wanted 🫶🏽🫶🏽😫

“With their conversation over, Riftan picked up the cape he had taken off and brushed past her as he left the church. Stunned, Maxi hurried after him. She could not believe he had completely ignored her.”

How could u do this bro 😭💔💔💔

“It was the Remdragon Knights.
Riftan was here”

Daddy is here 😫❤️🫶🏽

“Idsilla rummaged in her bag for something. “Please take this with you,” she said, handing Maxi the item. “It’s a pouch of heated sand. I use it to keep warm during morning prayers, but I would like for you to have it. It’s rather heavy, so discard it when it grows cold.”

❤️

Flame haired angel suits her so much 💞🔥

“My lady,” Ursuline replied with a low sigh, “our training over the past ten days has completely shattered what hope I had. I absolutely cannot let you go without personal guards to protect you.”

Ursuline has always been brutally honest hahah🤣😭

I-It is not that I am small! It is you knights who are excessively tall. And might I remind you… y-you were my height just a few years ago!”“My lady, that is not true!” Ulyseon said, practically hopping in protest. “I was already much taller than you when we first met!”“Much?” she said, gaping at him.Ulyseon’s face flushed as though he were truly upset. “I was at least a half-hech taller.”

“Sir Riftan has managed to turn Anatol into the biggest trade city in Wedon. You’ll be in for a surprise, my lady, when you hear of all the changes that have occurred since you’ve been gone. Anatol is all set to become an earldom. His Majesty has promised to confer upon the commander the title once he returns from the campaign. That means you will soon be a countess, my lady”

“The procedure was a lot more painful than she had anticipated. Two mages tattooed each of her wrists with the outlines of the rune and infused them with magic to create a new mana pathway”

“Such was her desperate need to see him that she even missed the times he was furious with her. She crouched in front of the furnace and buried her face between her knees, hiding her red eyes.“

My baby 😭🫶🏽

“To put it plainly, the rune you have designed is a spell to create a monster. How do you think the church would react if they were to learn that such magic existed?”

“They fell short of fully expressing how much she thought of him, how much she missed her time in Anatol, and how it broke her heart whenever she recalled the day she had left him. How could five pages be enough when not even a thousand could contain her yearning?In the few pages she had been allowed, she made every effort to convey all the emotions in her heart.“

“A young man in a flowing gray robe marched down the narrow aisle, his usual air of fastidiousness about him. It was Ranulf, the high mage in charge of novice affairs”

Maxi spent her days and nights studying the theoretical courses required to become a high mage, and her exemplary grades were evidence of all her hard work. If she received a good evaluation in the upcoming competition, she would be able to leave Nornui by next spring.Then I can go home.”

😭🫶🏽

“Novices were required to finish a four-year course of study before they were granted a rune. However, if they showed exceptional skill, a novice could receive one in just three years.

“Studying with them had allowed Maxi to master a variety of spells at pace. However, she felt that she was growing further away from the mage she dreamed of becoming the more time she spent at Nome Hall. Strictly speaking, earth mages were closer to craftsmen than spell-casters”
Reminds me of Tinker Bel 💚

“As descendants of the ancient dwarves, the Umri were blessed with strong affinities to fire and earth magic, as well as exceptional talents for smelting and crafting magical devices.”

“The Mage Tower was comprised of five structures. At the heart of the island stood the cone-shaped tower, Urd. The fire tower, Kabala, stood in the west; the water tower, Undaim, in the south; the wind tower, Sigrew, in the east; and in the north, the earth tower, Nome Hall”

“Awakened by a loud knock at the door, Maxi groggily raised her head. She had stayed up all night studying books on magic until her eyes were bloodshot, and the tiredness now weighed on her”

My sweet angel my beautiful Maxi. It’s been so long 😭😭💞🫶🏽😭😫

“After Maximilian Calypse had left for the Mage Tower, Riftan had poured all of his attention into consolidating his power, going to astonishing lengths to win over the southern nobles. Not shying away from employing shrewd political maneuvers, threats, or imposing economic pressures on his targets had allowed him to bring the western nobles into his fold as well”
Him trying to be stronger for her 😭😭
