Darryl did not follow them; he kept guard at the cave entrance instead.
However, Dennis was displeased about that. He found Darryl's presence irritated him even more. "Hey, didn't you hear Princess Angeline say that she's hungry? Go on now."
"You have enough men for that. There's no need for me to go. Besides, I'm a royal guard, so I need to stay close to Princess Angeline at all times to do my job well."
Dennis' expression changed drastically. The rest of his men were staring at Darryl unhappily. 'He should be punished for talking back to Young Master Dennis!'
Dennis gave Darryl another glare before stepping out with his men to search for food. They were lucky that they caught a rabbit in no time, which they quickly roasted after setting up a fire pit.
Angeline's mood improved at the sight of the roasting rabbit. Darryl was bored stiff, and due to his status, he was not allowed to dine with Angeline. So, he went out of the cave to wait for her to finish eating.
Dennis' eyes started to glint evilly. He gestured for some of his men to follow the man outside the cave.
"Hey!" Dennis shouted once he stepped outside.
Darryl turned around and looked coldly at Dennis. "What do you want?" he asked him calmly even though he knew Dennis and his men were looking for trouble.
His expression was arrogant; he knew he was right. As the garrison's commander-in-chief's son, Dennis had most of the capital's citizens under his thumb. Darryl's life was worthless to him.
However, Darryl was calm. He smiled and started to make his way back to the cave. Angeline should have finished eating, so it was time for him to bring her back to the palace.
"Stand right there!" Dennis' anger had reached its limit. He felt humiliated. How dare Darryl ignore him in front of his men? His rage boiled the more he thought about it. "I'll put you to your place. Die!"
As he raised his fist, intense saint energy erupted from his body and aimed straight for Darryl's back.
