Can't really blame the author here. In the novel, Khaol was still devoted to River and so was Heil. But the author couldn't just choose(would've been a nice 3P but author never went that road). So the novel "ends" with River never choosing either.
So that is why Khaol suddenly turned on River like an asshole in this comic. They really wanted to sever Khaol and River with a grudge so that Heil gets free reign.
I feel this is a disservice, but what's done is done I guess.
oof! i get what you mean, but i’d be even more displeased if a story is left at an open ending. Especially considering heil had always been there for river and the only thing river received from khaol is pain and lies
