45. Beauty and Brutality

(Third-Person POV)

While Asher fought Draegonoth in the demon realm, the situation in the human world was spiraling out of control.

Liloth was furious. Determined to capture Asher for the Priestess's kidnapping, she summoned her strongest knights and among them was Ivy.

It had only been a day since the Priestess disappeared, yet Asher's wanted posters covered every inch of the kingdom. A hefty bounty had hunters across Eldoria scrambling to find him, but there was no trace of the accused.

Meanwhile, his mother, Onalena, had just settled into a new home—one she had rented with the money Asher had given her. She barely had time to take it all in before the door burst open.
