Jojo fell silent instantly upon seeing that pair of crimson eyes.
He had been struggling to break free from Sisi's arms before, but now he suddenly stopped.
All he could do was stare at Kael's crimson eyes as they stared back at him.
Realizing the change, Kael quickly lowered his tone to make himself less threatening to his son and said, "It's still me, Jojo. Even if my eye color has changed, I'm still your Daddy."
"B-but… you look so scary. Are you really my Daddy?" Jojo asked hesitantly. "I-I remember him having dark eyes. He didn't look as… scary… like a demon."
Kael's lips twitched when Jojo compared him to a demon simply because his eyes were a different color.
But he wasn't angry. He himself had once seen his reflection in the surface of a lake after he accepted his curse, and recoiled at the sight of his crimson eyes. They truly inspired fear in other beastmen, who trembled when Kael looked at them, even when Kael wasn't trying to intimidate anyone.
