Luther was known to give only solo punishments to culprits, he hardly ever involves their families.
This was astounding but it showed how much serious and spiteful he was towards Mallory's actions.
But Almira was yet Rupert's daughter. She was bound to die sooner or later anyway but anyone could tell he was concerned and didn't want her to die.
Why? Why was he this way towards her? It was shocking. Wasn't he supposed to chiefly abhor her?!
Mallory's eyes got blinded with tears, flowing down her cheeks and moistening her veil.
She couldn't believe it... That things were turning this way.
She didn't expect it all to go wrong. She only wanted Almira to die so she and her family could get the complete justice they deserved, what was wrong with that? Why couldn't the heavens be merciful and fulfil her little wish?
