Chapter 40 - Journey Back (4)

Aegis's POV

I had just witnessed something utterly horrifying. The first scene, with the Princess and the man engaged in sex, was gut-wrenching enough, leaving me with a twisted sense of dread. But the scene that followed, where he defeated the three Dryads—creatures notorious for being a relentless threat to every man—was even more terrifying. I knew those Dryads well; they were the top leaders among their kind, feared for their deadly prowess. Yet, he dispatched all three with an unsettling ease, not even breaking a sweat.
