Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 4205

He was clad in black armor. He seemed impossibly majestic, if not for the two false limbs attached to his pelvis that stuck out like sore thumbs.

It was Grunt, disguised as Oliver.

Princess Dorothy's chest froze with fear. She struggled to keep a calm expression on her face, but her body could not stop trembling!

How did that fiend find her so quickly?

She was done for.

"Your Highness."

Grunt flashed a smile as he spoke in a comforting tone. "Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you." His eyes flashed with an unreadable glint.

Grunt had been greatly stricken when he had first found out that Darryl had taken Princess Dorothy's purity and that they were to be married as well. He had fallen into a state of utmost grief, swearing that he would never pine for her anymore after that.

However, when he stood face to face with Princess Dorothy, the feelings Grunt had tried so hard to contain had come rushing back to the surface once again.

"I…"

When she sensed Grunt's demeanor, Princess Dorothy's expression was one of mockery. "I know you. You're the Black Tortoise King's son, aren't you? What do you want?"

Princess Dorothy's face flashed with hostility and wariness.

Grunt sized her up. He inched closer and said, "I just said I would not hurt you, Princess. If you believe me, let me send you back to the Imperial Sky Palace."

Grunt's eyes were full of expectation.

Grunt's original plan had been to seize Princess Dorothy and bring her back to Archfiend Antigonus. However, the sight of her flooded him with the affection he had felt in the past, and Grunt found himself unable to do something so harsh.

He had thought it through—he would send Princess Dorothy back to the Imperial Sky Palace as the Black Tortoise King's son. He had, after all, taken over his identity and knew his presence would not threaten his life.

What?

Princess Dorothy froze in shock. She frowned and stared at Grunt. "You want to send me back to the Imperial Sky Palace?" Despite the look of great wariness on her face, she could not hide her glee.
