Allen's grandmother was utterly taken aback by those words… her grandson had done that? Along with his own wife?
How could they do something so vile?
That wasn't her grandson. That wasn't the grandson and granddaughter-in-law she thought she knew.
The old woman stared at Young Aether, disbelief trembling in her voice as she said,
"Y-You must have done something… T-This is fake! My grandson would never do something like that!"
Young Aether looked at her with a faintly amused expression. She looked almost exactly like he had once acted, desperately clinging to the version of someone he wanted to believe in.
He leaned slightly toward her and said coldly, "I know… how it felt," as he slowly nodded.
The old woman's body trembled. Young Aether glanced at Lia and calmly said, "Take control of her."
Lia's crimson eyes immediately glowed. The old woman's eyes lost their colour at once, her trembling stopped, and she fell utterly silent.
