Chapter 122. Reo Carter
Leo stood still, his hunting knife pressed against Erin’s chest, her violet eyes locked on his fierce red glare. The name, his true name, a secret only the Goddess Celestia knew, it hit like a lightning bolt, sparking a wild rage in Leo’s chest.
Erin’s smirk grew, sharp and bold, as she leaned back, her voice teasing. "I mean, your Chloe, Reo Carter." His face darkened, the mention of Chloe lighting a fire no one could tame.
"Don’t use her name!" He lunged, the knife flashing toward Erin’s throat, his eyes burning with a fury that could destroy everything.
Erin’s face stayed calm. "Elynn, disable the host’s motor function."
[Disabling Host’s motor function as requested by admin!]
Elynn’s voice chirped in Leo’s mind, and his body froze, every muscle locking mid-attack.
The knife stopped just short of Erin’s neck, his face twisted with anger, but he was trapped, like a caged beast. His red eyes glowed with fierce fury, his glare promising death if he broke free.
Erin turned to Vivien, whose tear-streaked face showed heartbreak, and her tone softened, like a shield. "Don’t worry, little sweetheart. We’re just playing, that’s all." Her magic veil blocked the rest, making sure Vivien and Lysa heard only her kind words, their ears shut to the storm of truths between Leo and Erin.
She faced Leo again, his deadly stare meeting her bold violet gaze, a silent dare to Try touch her. Her fingers touched the ring on the chain around his neck, lifting it with a soft, almost respectful smile. "You carry all this pain for her, don’t you? Damn, I admire your devotion."
