Interrupted by who? One of Riftan's associates ...?
Before Maxi could object, the knight strode off to speak to a servant. However, he was interrupted by someone on his way back.

He wants to open something else with his teeth...
Riftan wordlessly extended his wounded limb as if telling the mage to get it over with. He pulled out a flask with his free hand and opened it with his teeth.

Aw, thanks Pato93. I'm loving this so far, & constantly impatient for the next chapter, but I also know that it takes time to produce a work like this. I'm in awe of how quickly you're going! Can't wait to see where the story takes them next. 💖
Try the first part of the audio for this chapter. "He laid her on her back before tossing off... his shirt." WHY does it have to read the text with a gap between each line... that first paragraph had me in stitches lol!
"Don't close your eyes. Look. I'm inside you… Mmm…"

Aw... he's kissing away her tears while Riftan isn't around to do it.
Roy purred and licked her cheek with his rough tongue.

She thought he was going to be like her father - cold, violent, a bully. But Riftan thought she would be like her father - cold, greedy, manipulative & scheming.
Dazed from the drink, Lady Calypse blinked before slowly shaking her head. "I-I am not sure. I-I thought him dashing… b-but I was frightened… a-and nervous w-whenever I was close… s-so when… I f-first learned I was to m-marry him… I-I only wanted to run away. H-He looked like a v-violent man."

This is why Ruth and Riftan are such a good team. Ruth destroyed the illusion spell, but Riftan was already saving himself from it.
"Things could have gone horribly wrong," Ruth said, handing Riftan a cup of warmed wine. "I think the golem was meant to cast a powerful illusion spell in the event of its destruction. If I hadn't been there, all of you would have been trapped in it and frozen to death."

I wonder if it's a translation issue, I thinkit actually means they cut off the feet. Elsewhere in the book, it mentions cutting off criminals' necks or wrists... I suspect in English we would say head or hands, but in Korean perhaps they refer to where on the body the cut is made, instead of what body part was removed.
Soon, two knights who had been on patrol returned with three black-feathered birds the size of geese. Grabbing the birds by the wings, the knights twisted and ripped the appendages off at the joints and discarded them on the ground. Then, with one swift motion, the skin was pulled clean off. Maxi froze in shock. Next, the knights sliced off the legs with a dagger before casually tossing them onto the pile of feathers. Feeling her stomach turn, Maxi hastily withdrew to the safety of the carriage.

True. I can't think of anything hotter than a man on fire for his lady, but still treats her like a lady.
He guided her hand down his body. She felt his hardness throbbing under her palm and gave a start. She tried to snatch her hand away, but his grip on her arm was too firm.

Libertine would be a better translation ,I think.
Maxi glared at him. "You rake."
