You'd think that humans 'choose' the animal just because the animal was bought or given, but actually it's always the animals who chooses their humans ☺️ Animals would rebel or wouldn't wanna be tamed if they dont like their human, no matter if they were already bought or adopted. Human owners can't do anything but to exchange it or buy a new one. In her case, Maxi is an animal lover since childhood (remember Croyso's black hunting dogs). That is why this horse can sense her gentleness. People with ugly or impure hearts are never liked by animals.
The mare let out a charming snort as it continued to rub its muzzle against Maxi's palm. Maxi stroked its thick mane while admiring its long, slender legs and brilliant black eyes. Its balanced proportions and glossy mane indicated that it was a fine breed.

His stepfather had dug up a decaying, black leather pouch from a dirt patch behind the shack. Inside was the entirety of the dowry he had received from marrying Riftan's mother — fourteen derham. He had then proffered six of them to that pig of a blacksmith and had humbled himself before the swine in order to get Riftan this apprenticeship. Obscenities spilled from Riftan's mouth as he dredged up the memory.

Ruth used baby imagery. Very effective. Opponent is now distracted and dazed. Time to strike and deplete her mana. I mean, resolve. LOL
Maxi could not understand the rush but, overwhelmed by the sorcerer's insistence, she could not argue back. Her distracted state provided Ruth with an opening to scribble down a purchase list.

Ruth's mind: Oh, this b tch foiled my almost self-serving plans 🤷 But anyway, ok. LOL
Ruth's blue-gray eyes shook. It was a clear sign that the books had nothing to do with magic. Maxi smiled triumphantly.

Where are Hebaron and Ursulin when we needed some assing and dark humor responses???
At Maxi's hesitation, Rosetta said primly, "Won't you show me your garden? I find it rather stifling in here."

The garden bustled with laborers busily preparing for winter and sentries transporting provisions. Upon Maxi's orders, Ludis had made inquiries and had found out that all the war preparations would be over in three to four days' time. After which, Riftan would advance on the Duke of Croyso with four hundred mounted troops.

I can relate the scene here in Oak Tree with the movie 300

Hey, someone explain "50% above the agreed price" to me. I'm bad at Math. I'm a disgrace to Asian race. LOL Tell me if my understanding is right: If the price is 100 and add 50% above the agreed price, does that mean Riftan will pay 150??? (If yes, then wow, Riftan's generous here! or maybe because Maxi is involved. lol)
"My wife is pleased, and you arrived two days earlier than expected. For that, I'll reward you with fifty percent above the price we agreed upon."
