Chapter 542: Before Usurping the throne Part-6

Third Person's POV

Aurelia Scarlet was not his target!

Aurelia Scarlet was not his real sister!

Aether understood better than anyone what it meant to fail in his mission.

He had seen it all unravel before his very eyes... As soon as he failed, everything around him began to collapse, like a line of dominoes. One small mistake, one flick...that was all it took.

So, whether he liked it or not…

Whether they were blood-related or not…

He wanted....no, he needed—to seduce them at any cost, no matter what it took.

Yet, just like Selene, Lia was not his target. He had no reason to pursue her, no justification to go that far.

Aether had always thought of her as his sister, even if he sometimes jokingly called her that. She was someone he cared about in that way… until the moment she kissed him.
