Aether... to be honest, he was literally taken aback by her revelations.
She crafted her children?
Really?
What's more... She didn't even flinch.
No remorse, no guilt for the people she had killed or tortured along the way.
It wasn't just cruelty... she was a completely lost cause.
Aether, of course, had started to understand her—at least, to an extent. He could now grasp fragments of her twisted logic. But to put it in simple, undeniable words:
She was an insane woman!!
And if she could do all this now... what if one day she did this to his children? What if she hurt them? What if she decided they, too, were expendable for her goals? She was unpredictable, unhinged—dangerously so!
'So all this time... it was a facade?' Aether wondered silently, his chest tightening with disappointment.
The smile she wore, the affection she showed, the warmth she gave to Selene and to him—was all of it just an act?
