The Fourth Life She Guarded Me Chapter 46
The Romano family and the invaders were quickly locked in battle.
Lani wanted to use her three guardians to overpower her former clanmates.
But she quickly discovered that these people she had always looked down on now almost all had guardians of their own.
Guardians had never actually been that scarce.
Her father had simply been unwilling to distribute them.
Now every opponent she faced stood beside their own guardian.
A black panther with golden claws, a white stag with wind-shod hooves, an earth-spirit flying bear.
Each one more capable in battle than the last.
Even with three high-level guardians at her side, Lani was steadily forced back.
Because she had never truly built good relationships with her own guardians.
Back in the Threshold, her relationships with Locke and Kieran had already soured.
Kieran was no longer willing to protect her the way he had before.
Locke had never been suited for battle in the first place.
That left only Drake, who still had his old injury and couldn’t properly use his power. All he could do was endure by brute force.
While the battle below descended into chaos, Paloma held me in the air as I watched intently.
She, however, found the whole thing terribly boring.
“Why make it so troublesome? If I eat them all, won’t that settle everything?”
I turned my gaze from the battle and looked at her.
“Paloma, some battles have to be fought by them. The family can’t depend on you forever.”
