Chapter 572: A Mother’s Love
Loh arrived in time to watch in a mixture of astonishment and confusion as Lunae carried Stryg away. All he could do was dangle helplessly, eyes wide in panic.
Melantha and Holo rushed out and spotted Lunae in the distance. They glanced at each other and dashed after her.
“Loh!” Gale shouted angrily.
Loh turned to her and smiled weakly. “Hello—”
Gale struck her across the face. “Stay away from Stryg.”
Loh staggered back a step, then straightened herself. “I deserved that,” she muttered.
“Deserve?” Gale laughed bitterly. “You were entrusted with the protection of an entire class of young mageborns and the caravan they were guarding. They placed their trust in you. You were the contingency, you were supposed to keep them safe! Where were you, Loh? Where were you when Marek attacked!? Where were you when he killed my brother!”
Gale stepped forward and leaned in as she threw a punch. Her fist sank into Loh’s stomach and lifted the drow off her feet. Loh doubled over and collapsed, coughing up bile and gasping for breath.
“Deserve?” Gale spat at Loh’s feet. “You deserve to die.”
