Runard Astor feel his heart beating loudly. As his father sacrifice himself for his sake, he and his escorts had been running as quickly as they could.
However, it seem the demon's wing was not for show, as he easily capture the villages and towns in the Kingdom. He learned the hard way when he almost entered a village when he was attacked by monsters, and to his surprise, other human.
He latter learned from some he subdued that the villagers surrendered. He wanted to be mad at them but he had to admit there not much else they could do. If even the powerful soldiers of the Kingdom fell, what of regular villagers.
Surrendering to the demon would be the sanest option. Unfortunately, he doubted he had such option. After all, he is one of the most important people in the Kingdom, and would be killed by the demon.
