Do we find out how much Maxi remembers about when riftan rescued her from the monster at any point either in book 2 or another side story? Maybe there's a chance that she has a feeling he is vaguely familiar to her even here
The duke moved with practiced grace to address them, haughtily raising his chin. Riftan held his breath as he watched the girl slowly turn to face him.

Yep, lumber: Buildingtimber or wood from a tree sawed or split into planks, boards, etc.
An awful stench seemed to be coming from one of the barns. Merchants sold their wares in stalls lined along the excrement-strewn road, and laborers and armed mercenaries were constructing cottages surrounded by stacks of lumbar.

Actually, the author is correct: v., pored, por•ing. pore over, [~ + over + object]to read or study with focused attention, concentration, or hard work:They found him poring over old manuscripts in the library.
It would not do for her to waste time. Her days started early so she could pore over runes or study herbs. From time to time, she also treated the injured in Ruth's stead. Nowadays, even the soldiers who had been cautious of her gradually got used to her presence.

Just coming from a comic with lots of drama, it is such a relaxing arrival to re-enter this fantastical love story where the pace is so human and any problems are real and can be fought and overcome, not self-perpetuating products of an overly fast paced capitalist modern world. This story feels like home 🤗
Maxi blushed and nodded as Riftan helped her into a pair of ankle-high leather shoes. Hand in hand, they stepped out and walked down a wooden staircase. Downstairs, armored knights were milling around a tavern crammed so full of tables and chairs that it was difficult to move.

Ewwww! (props to the author for making us dislike this guy from the outset)
With a grin at the corner of his thick lips, he was staring at Hailee with the gaze of a hunter that was chasing his prey.

"and sweet dreams to you too"... dear readers, GO TO SLEEP and stop staring at your screen now before it's too late! Also thought this is rather a sweet phrase so worth correctong the grammar
"Good night Daddy. And you to sweet dreams" she responded back with a cute smile making her dimples very prominent in the process.

With the synopsis mentioning this is the story of two flawed characters, I'm hoping Riftan diesn' turn out to be a cruel manipulator; although so far his character seems great, the mentions of no guilt (albeit for minor things) make me wonder if he's not going to be perfect for Maxi... Other than that, I also truly hope they find love together and he helps her fins self esteem and see her own value as a human being.

I automatically read it as Maximilian Calypse and had to reread the name to check after seeing your comment
Riftan circled the annex and found Maximilian Croyso crouched on the ground, playing with a large cat. He froze and swept his gaze over her. Her chestnut dress was plain compared to her outfit at the banquet. Her hair, which had been meticulously styled, hung loose and disheveled around her shoulders. A tinge of red colored her cheeks on her otherwise pale face.
