"Hmm," Swathi nodded and buried her head on Ronin's chest.
"Ok...ok...let's continue our journey," said Ronin, stroking Swathi's head as she remained in his embrace.
They both freshened up and continued their journey towards the capital city.
Meanwhile, in the spacious room of the beast lord...
"What happened? Why haven't I heard anything from my personal guards?" asked the beast lord calmly.
Suddenly, a man stepped out of the shadows and kneeled on the ground, one knee touching the floor. After hesitating for a moment, he answered, "All the personal guards have been wiped out by that guy."
As soon as the man finished speaking, the room shook briefly and fell silent. "Interesting...someone strong enough to eliminate all my personal guards and show no fear towards me. Invite him to my palace once he arrives in the capital city."
"On your orders," said the man, stepping back into the shadows and disappearing from the room.
