"You? Just who are you?" General Akira asked, his voice trembling for the first time as terror gripped his heart.
Adonis walked toward the serpentoid with eerie grace, as if he were the embodiment of fractured dreams.
"It is a pity you still do not recognize me. But no matter, since a dead, ugly snake has no need to know my name," Adonis said.
Akira's eyelids quivered. "Y-y... You are the new King? No. This cannot be. How can you be so strong?"
Adonis was now only meters away from Akira, looking directly into his fearful, serpentine face.
"You are so foolish. Why did you even assume I was weak in the first place? Does a Dragon Queen propose marriage to just anybody? You should have understood that a woman like her would never settle for anyone inferior. She knew exactly why she was choosing me." He paused, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. "To destroy you all."
