"Following that idiotic reasoning, I should have also abandoned Solus whenever things got hard. Heck, I might even abandon Elysia if the Guardians didn't protect her, since I can always have another daughter." Lith's face twisted in disgust, spitting out every word as if it were coated in poison.
"That's indeed bad, but it's not what I was talking about." Menadion said. "I wanted you to notice that even after Lith refused to surrender Valeron and suffered many wounds, Valeron didn't entrust him with the Life Maelstrom until the very end. That's why Lith is so upset."
There was no blame toward the baby in the First Ruler of the Flames' voice. Only a newfound respect that hadn't been there until that moment.
"Together with what you've witnessed a few minutes ago, it's a sign his relationship with Valeron might be broken beyond repair."
"Oh gods, Lith, I'm so sorry." Kamila hugged him with the Dragon Scales, feeling his sadness and resignation.
