Chapter 1558: Enraging

Selheira's eyes were red and puffy, so much so that even Jojo didn't dare to make fun of her at the moment. Even so, meeting her gaze, Eska's smile remained calm and relaxed. 

At that moment, Eska didn't look like a woman who rarely smiled. Instead, she looked to be completely in her element. For a moment, the former Matriarch of the Zu Clan returned in all her regal glory. 

"Was I wrong, Eska?"

Selheira didn't respond to Eska's words, it looked as though she hadn't even truly registered them. Her heart was shaken and she seemed to need to find comfort in something. 

Eska knew what she meant. During this last year, the three of them hadn't talked about Ryu a single time, focusing on other things and improving themselves as much as possible. Eska took the role of escort and Dao Protector, while Selheira and Jojo tried to improve as quickly as they could.
