Aegon knew the demons were targeting the Valerians for some reason. His grandma was supposed to be the last one, but his presence ruined everything the demons had planned.
Now, he was the last Valerian, so there was no way they wouldn't target him. Except he had always been in a tightly secured environment, so the demons couldn't do anything.
But Aegon didn't want to live inside all his life just because there was a threat outside. It would just be his first life all over again, but that also didn't mean he didn't take the threat seriously.
That was why he was thankful to have the Red Veil under him. With them around, any ambushes would fail. If the worst came, he was prepared for that.
That was why the first thing he did upon entering the Chainbound Sky was to send his shadows to scout the area and make sure it was safe.
After all, he also had to care about Elara's security.
