Ashlyn was soaking in warm water, but this did not calm her mind at all.
How not, when he first realized that he was trapped in the body of this pitiful antagonist, he had made the decision that he would not follow the original story. Isn't he so generous?
If he followed the original story, many people would die and the Crown Prince would end up being bloodied heads. However, his kindness is still not able to fight the evil that has been done by this antagonist to the point that he is the one who almost lost his life.
Ah, this is really unfair, because after what happened yesterday and this morning, Ashlyn realized that she had no one in this world, he was so hated and there were probably still many others out there who wanted his life out of spite.
Although she had already said that she would be a success and better than Annabel to make Annabel and her family regret. She simply did not have the right plan to survive in this world as Ashlyn.
In the real world, his main abilities are concocting herbs and traditional Chinese medicine practices as well as running his family's drug store with his father and mother. However, here she was a Duke's daughter.
He could have gone and lived independently, and started a business, medicine was always needed by humans, this business would never have died, even in the real world even though modern medicine was rampant, but that does not mean traditional medicine is removed and forgotten. They persist in every current of the changing times. But again ... He is the evil Ashlyn who has many enemies, and they want his death.
He still could not guarantee the safety of his own life if he walked out of the Daren Lynx Mansion without a single bodyguard. He would probably die after stepping one foot out of the Mansion gate, if he did.
Ashlyn sighed, started thinking from scratch again and could only think of one way, she had to learn martial arts to protect herself and build relationships with people who could benefit her life.
While thinking about this he recalled the community of bad people, Ashlyn thought it might not be bad if Ashlyn established a relationship with them and built a business with them. Wouldn't they also be able to get out of the evil cycle and start a new life?
Ah, think about it for later, for now the more important thing is that Ashlyn has to learn martial arts for the sake of her future. Her future wouldn't be bright if she died, would it.
With this, Ashlyn nodded her head and felt quite happy because where else would the greatest knights in the Fire Empire have come from if not from Daren Lynx? Ashlyn is determined that she will work hard for her freedom!
After becoming strong and mastering capable martial skills. Ashlyn will leave this cursed residence and build her business in a place she thinks is good and live to old quietly, selling drugs and treating people like she did in the real world.

Ashlyn finished soaking and enjoying her meal in the room after Carolin dropped her off.
Even as she ate, Ashlyn did not stop thinking. After discovering what he was going to do, he still thought of a way to talk to Duke Damien about his intentions of learning martial arts.
Their relationship was not close and she herself had told Duke Damien not to do anything else for her. When she remembered this, Ashlyn again suffered from a headache.
"Lady Ashlyn, His Highness Duke Damien asked if you were willing to meet him today?"
On hearing this, Ashlyn put down her spoon, what happened to it, but what did Duke Damien want to talk to her about?
Ashlyn knocks on the table and thinks maybe Duke Damien called her because of today's incident, the stepmother who is crazy about the treasure might complain to Duke Damien and ask Duke Damien to reprimand him.
At the thought of this, Ashlyn really wanted to laugh. Arabella, who only bears the title of Duchess, cannot resist her position as a legitimate descendant of Daren Lynx, so the woman will run to her husband as usual and complain to him excessively, then the Duke will reprimand her.
This has been the case since the beginning of their marriage when Ashlyn began to reject Annabel and was a little rude to Annabel because Ashlyn could no longer stand Annabel's close attitude, who was close to her, and always follow him everywhere and want what he has.
Duke Damien would reprimand him and ask Ashlyn to be an adult, when he was only six years old. Ashlyn is always forced to budge until she is fed up and leaves, ignoring them and avoiding them.
And now Duke Damien will do the same thing as before, rebuking him and advising him to be nice to Annabel. If they understood human language, Ashlyn would not bother Annabel if the child did not continue to look for trouble with her.
However, it turned out that this was not the reason Duke Damien wanted to meet him.
Ashlyn felt the presence of many people the first time Ashlyn entered the main hall of the Daren Lynx Mansion.
Ashlyn is told that when she is reported to have disappeared and is involved in a showdown with the Royal Warriors, Duke Damien immediately makes the Crown Prince a prisoner of Daren Lynx and asks the King to resolve the problems that occur.
When Ashlyn heard this she could not help but smile broadly as she realized that Duke Damien was still harboring guilt after slapping her blind. However, what did the man think by making Crown Prince a prisoner Daren Lynx, did he think that with just this Ashlyn would feel happy and forgive him and forget what happened?
Hah, that's right, it will only happen in a dream!
The people present in the Hall saw the arrival of Ashlyn with Carolin as well as the two knights following her behind.
Ashlyn was wearing an ivory white hat with black fur, the dress she was wearing was also in matching color with her hat, Ashlyn did not like to wear too much jewelry, she said, so she was just wearing a necklace with a blue jeweled tear pendulum that Ashlyn's favorite was, the only thing she held so dear as Annabel and Arabella shamelessly tried to ask for it first.
The people present in the Hall did not take his eyes off Ashlyn who was currently directed by Carolin to walk towards Duke Damien. Ashlyn was one of the best noble girls in the Kingdom, be it from her appearance, ability and intelligence. However, sometimes people can't help but sigh if they remember what Ashlyn's true nature is.
How did the girl who used to look so calm turn out to be so cruel to her own sister?
As Ashlyn finally gets near Duke Damien, Ashlyn begins to smell the familiar scent of the person standing in front of her.
Vanilla?
Aslyn's brows furrowed and tried to remember that she had smelled this scent on someone's body before. As Ashlyn managed to recall it, Ashlyn could not help but smile, was this not the same scent as the maid holding her hand and helping her into the room back then and if she was not mistaken, this scent was also present when he returned this morning.
This guy was actually around him all along. So, it looks like Duke is still on Ashlyn's side. This makes him happy, but not to forget himself, even though Duke Damien is on his side, just like in the story of Be Mine Prince, even though Duke Damien is on his side, The Duke may be willing to kill so many people that the Crown Prince pays for his guilt, but still, this person loves Annabel and Arabella more than he does.
So, he was basically still alone in this cruel novel world.
Ashlyn sighed and turned her head, as if she could see, and she smiled at the Crown Prince who was standing on the right side, Ashlyn could tell it from the Citrus scent that came from the Crown Prince.
Ashlyn may be very pretty, and always has an amazing appearance with her red lips. However, to the Crown Prince, as beautiful as this girl was, she was an evil girl that had to be removed immediately.
🔸🔸🔸
"Duke Damien, now that Ashlyn is here, can we start our negotiations." The one who spoke at this moment was the King.
Even the King actually left his throne to save his son when he heard the news that his future heir was a prisoner of Daren Lynx.
What made Duke Damien hold the Crown Prince? The king wanted to know and the answer turned out to be only a trivial matter.
Fish cake, just a piece of fish cake, this evil girl named Ashlyn makes her son the future ruler of the country must be detained.
It's really hard to believe! Why is this girl so fond of making trouble for the Crown Prince?
Duke Damien looked at Ashlyn and made up his heart, he couldn't keep quiet if he wanted to improve his family's condition and his relationship with Ashlyn.
"Ashlyn, I already detained the soldiers who blocked you yesterday and I also detained the Crown Prince for this matter. So, Ashlyn do you want to punish them?"
On hearing this, Ashlyn was really hard to believe and did not know how to respond to Duke Damien's simple way of thinking.
Ashlyn had absolutely no idea that Duke Damien would actually do this for her.
What did Duke Damien think? Her daughter is bullied and she will catch the person who is bothering her daughter and will make them regret for life. Is it like that?
But why didn't Arabella and Annabel do it?
The king who heard the Duke's words couldn't help but worry about the Crown Prince's safety, he knew very well how Ashlyn's nature, this girl might punish them with an absurd punishment.
"Duke Damien, how could you say this so easily, didn't you say this would be a negotiation?"
However, the King before Duke Damien could not get angry. He still had to maintain his attitude because after all the position of the Duke was even higher than his position of the title of King. It's funny, but that's the fact.
Duke Damien looked coldly at the King and said. "I'm going to negotiate, but I'm just going to negotiate with my daughter, Ashlyn."
The king was almost at a loss for his words, he was really not considered here and was invited just to be a spectator.
"But Duke, this is just a fish cake, why should this matter be magnified to this extent?"
Duke's eyebrows shot up. "It's just a fishcake, but because of that your soldiers brandished swords to Ashlyn's neck, even they tried to execute her on the spot. So, how is that not exaggerated?"
The king fell silent, his hands clenched tightly and gnashed his teeth. This problem, Ashlyn is still a guilty but stubborn person.
If it was according to Royal law, this girl indeed deserved to be put to death after insulting the Crown Prince, let alone bringing along a bodyguard to fight the Royal soldiers.
However, just because this child was the Duke's child, would he be able to casually break the rules of the Kingdom? And how did the Duke who always stood up for justice stand up for his daughter?
Duke Damien then looked at the calm looking Ashlyn before staring at the Crown Prince and the soldiers who were at that time engaged in a showdown with Ashlyn. In total there were 15 people, even if Ashlyn asked him to kill them, the Duke would do it.
It was just a fish cake that his daughter wanted to eat, but they sent so many soldiers to hinder her daughter. These people are completely ungrateful, Duke is a man who always plunges into the battlefield so that people can live quietly and for that he has sacrificed his time to run errands for many years and is rarely at home until unknowingly his relationship with his own daughter has been fractured.
However, even with all the struggles and services he had given them, they were brandishing swords at his daughter just because her daughter wanted fish cakes. What's wrong with giving him a piece to eat. Why should they be so miserly to his daughter, while Duke is so generous with giving them protection.
If from the very beginning Duke knew that he was protecting these types of people, he would rather not protect this country. They deserved to die, for making their daughter unhappy.
Thinking of this the Duke could not help but stare intently at them and make the Crown Prince, Peter as well as the others bow their heads with a sense of annoyance on their chests.
This evil girl is really a trouble-carrier! Why would a person like Ashlyn have to be born into the world?
They chewed these words in their minds along with the turbulent fury in the soul.
"Ashlyn, tell me what I want to do? I'll do it without a rebuttal." The duke said and made everyone present there unable to help but feel afraid as if they had just heard of the death sentence.
Ashlyn was silent for a while and made those waiting to drip cold sweat with anxious feelings.
Ashlyn then raised her head as if she could stare at Duke Damien.
Duke Damien looked at Ashlyn from this close position and realized that his daughter had really grown into an extraordinary girl, it was a pity that this girl should have this kind of vices.
It was his fault, if only he hadn't left it. Her cheerful daughter would not be this kind of cold-hearted girl. At the thought of this Ashlyn's shadow when she was a child appeared in her shadow.
The little girl who had just woken up from sleep, who looked for her and called her "Dad."
