Chapter 111: Another one
Torug's POV,
"A war is coming" I stated, surprise and confusion painted her face.
"Kharag Greyeye" my steps stopped just two steps away from her, She turns around to look at me seriously.
"I thought we settled everything with him that day".
I unconsciously let out a small laugh before replying,"I thought so as well but they have killed one of our own, tell me my dear 'wife'...How do I respond to this provocation?".
I expected her to protest like Dabok or something but she simply says a simple phrase..."a life for a life".
a bit stunned, I began to wonder if she said this out of wisdom or the usual impulsiveness she had always shown.
Burdened by my silence, she decided to explain...
"This has been an iron rule in the orc lands, a life for a life according to the weight of their individual value".
"He came in peace but took a life in the end, so he has to pay double...then there's the matter of your reputation as well..."
