MONA WASN'T really surprised when Ruto appeared and pointed a weapon at Neoma.
She had always known that the boy was the divine son of Levi whom he raised to become a God Slayer.
Hence, she kind of expected Ruto to appear and stop Neoma from summoning a god.
After all, even Mona wasn't allowed to summon gods unless she made a deal with them to borrow their power.
[But Neoma is going to summon a god because of the trial.]
She could see why Ruto would get involved.
[He's just doing his job.]
However…
[Neoma must feel brokenhearted right now.]
"How should we proceed, Mona?" Nikolai whispered to her. "Can I kill Ruto?"
"Of course not, love. It won't be easy anyway," Mona whispered back. "We should just watch for now. Neoma got this–"
"Are you just going to watch that bastard threaten your daughter?" Nero asked in an aggravated voice, turning to Mona and Nikolai with furrowed brows. "Mother, Father, that bastard is serious. He will really shoot at Neoma."
Oh?
