Aisha Shocked

Yuan, a huge smirk plastered across his face, looked at Denise and said mockingly, "Now what? Your knight in shining armor is dead. What are you going to do now?"

Denise ignored Yuan's taunts, his gaze fixed on the pile of ashes scattered across the floor—the undeniable remains of Captain Seth. The evidence was irrefutable: Captain Seth was gone, burned alive by one of Yuan's women.

"Y-You… You killed him… How dare you kill a member of the Great Drake Clan?! You'll pay for this humiliation, you bastard!" Denise turned to Yuan, his face twisted in fury, his voice laced with hatred and disdain.

Captain Seth wasn't just a bodyguard assigned by Denise's father to protect him from harm; he was also a mentor, a teacher who had taught Denise the art of swordsmanship and the discipline of strength. Captain Seth had given Denise everything he could—guidance, knowledge, and unwavering support. He was the foundation of the man Denise had become. And now, he was gone.
