Nah, Khaol is the right one. River is just disappointed nd confused.sorry

with khaol he had an abusive relationship. and I don't think khaol ever really loved him. it was just pity or regret for what he did to his ancestor. I'm so happy that he is with heil. someone who ACTUALLY loves and cares for him.

Well, we have a different sides and conclusion. But as for me, Khaol shows River a care and love back then and I guess Khaol choose his ex cause he still grip those memories and tryn to confirm something.
