So when this ends Under the Oak Tree is over? It’s going to be devastating
WTH now!! Poor Maxi can’t catch a break
As she surreptitiously let go of her breath, a faint flash lit up the sky. Startled, Maxi's head jerked up. Deep rumbles filled the air. Soon after, a violent snowstorm erupted.

I can already see Maxi sizing up these women
As they moved beyond the outskirts, a small market and stone citadel came into view. Riftan stopped the army at the castle gate, where the mistress of Darund and her maidservants emerged to greet them.
