Chapter 229 – What Love Can Do
At Eric's words, Aerica couldn't help but react sharply—almost instinctively.
She didn't do it on purpose.
It just happened.
Because the word he said… the word abomination—wasn't a word you just casually mentioned.
It had been years since the confirmed birth of a new one. The third abomination's identity remained a mystery. And yet, her master—Lord Mortis—had ordered every Commander under his control to search, to observe, to find clues about the being that carried that title.
So when Eric said it, when he let that word slip without hesitation, something in Aerica's body flinched.
A wild thought surfaced—irrational, impossible, and utterly baseless.
But it clung to her like a parasite.
Could her lover… could he actually know the third abomination?
It made no sense. But that didn't matter.
So she asked again, sharper this time, voice strained with tension,
"What did you just say?"
Eric blinked at her, confused—genuinely confused.
