Became A Blind Villain
Just stop!

Ashlyn walks barefoot after learning of Duke Damien's plans from Carolin.

Not caring about how she looked at the moment wearing only pajamas and unkempt hair, Ashlyn walked through the hallway and headed towards the main courtyard.

Duke Damien has gone mad, if he wants to be a bloodthirsty person why would that man have to use himself as an excuse! Damn it even if Duke Damien's intention only wanted to punish the person who had made Ashlyn poisoned, he said, duke Damien, who is always flattered by everyone, can be better than a short-spoken idiot.

Pengulum his anger, Ashlyn could not help but get angry. "Can't he investigate it first and not cut people's necks! That's a human neck! Human neck!"

Ashlyn further sped up her path, not caring if her bare feet felt the coldness of the marble floor and had Carolin follow her hastily while carrying a butterfly-patterned golden yellow scarf for Ashlyn.

No matter how his current employer looked, he was only wearing no more pajamas, how could his master suddenly get out of bed regardless of his appearance and go to the courtyard where everyone was gathered, how could his master suddenly get out of bed, and let everyone see his appearance like that.

What will people say about their employers?

"La-lady Ashlyn, relax. You need to change your clothes first." Carolin walked in a hurry, almost running to keep up with Ashlyn.

"What a great time to change clothes! I need to get to the main page immediately to scold someone now!" Ashlyn spoke so quickly and with a loud voice that made Carolin stunned in fear.

Meanwhile outside, the stage was already set up, two guillotines were already placed on the stage and many people were crowding around the stage. That morning, it was the only morning that the main courtyard of the Daren Lynx residence was filled with people from all walks of life, from ordinary people to aristocrats and members of the Kingdom came with an invitation from Duke Damien.

The Duke was furious when Ashlyn returned that day unconscious, her face pale and sweating, the doctor who examined her said that Ashlyn had food poisoning and that it had left Ashlyn unconscious.

Duke Damien is very worried about Ashlyn's condition, but he is more angry at the fact that Ashlyn has been poisoned by someone.

Poor daughter, she just wants to eat out because she feels uncomfortable in her own home. However, every time he went outside to eat, his daughter always almost lost her life.

People don't know how lucky it really is to have crossed the line, how dare they try to brandish a sword and poison Ashlyn when they know Ashlyn is her daughter, the daughter of a Duke who had been protecting them all this time.

Is this how they have returned his kindness all this time? Kill daughter!

These are the people who are seeking death in their wrath. Duke Damien immediately investigates what happened, the knights who accompanied Ashlyn even Carolin he interrogates to say everything and he discovers that Carolin only went second place.

First it was a fish cake shop, but Carolin said Ashlyn disliked the fish cakes and threw them away after one bite. After that Ashlyn met the young man who asked her for three requests, the young man took her to eat in a very simple place, a small shop that only sold noodles. 

Carolin said Ashlyn enjoyed the meal so much that she finished all the noodles in the bowl before falling unconscious.

Ashlans!

People are ungrateful. His daughter was so kind as to give him three wishes, Duke even agreed to make him enter the Daren Lynx army for the sake of his daughter. But what is this guy doing!

The duke stared filled with fury and killing aura at the black curly-haired youth as well as the amber eyes that were staring at him boldly as if the young man was innocent.

The duke wanted to draw his sword and decapitate this person immediately. However, he wanted to make this person a warning for everyone.

Whoever dares to hurt his daughter, she will die. Even if they hide into a rat hole, Daren Lynx's forces will make sure they can't see the sun anymore.

Edmund knelt with his hands tied back, he had been beaten many times in prison with the noodle shop owner, they had suffered so many injuries that they lost consciousness and this morning they were woken up with a cold shower that shocked them and made their bodies shiver.

Next they were taken out violently, her hair pulled and Edmund was forced to stare at the neatly dressed man who looked extraordinary. This is Damien Daren Lynx, the girl's only father.

The Duke looked at him with a murderous gaze, but Edmund did not feel any fear at all and said. "We are innocent."

Hearing him, Duke Damien was so angry that he could no longer hold himself back, his right hand raised and violently slapped on Edmund's cheek that Edmund slumped to the side. The slap was so loud that it made Edmund unconscious. However, Edmund endured it by biting his lower lip.

A knight pulled his hair violently to have Edmund kneel down again before Duke Damien, revealing just how bad the slap marks were, his bruised white cheeks, his nose and mouth did not stop spitting fresh blood.

At the sight of this, for a moment Duke Damien was stunned, the shadow as he slapped Ashlyn that day spun back on his head and made his chest ache.

"The ungrateful. How dare you try to bite the hand of the one who feeds you. What three requests Ashlyn gave you wasn't enough that you still wanted her life!"

Edmund's eyelids drooped upon hearing this and although his body was suffering from excruciating pain, Edmund could not help but smile cynically.

His head lifted, he looked at the Duke and said. "Yes, I'm an ungrateful person. I am the dog that bites the hand of the one who feeds me. I am such a person, Your Highness Duke, but this time I said the right thing, me and the noodle shop owner are completely innocent."

Hearing her, the Duke wanted to slap her again. But if he did that, the young man would probably die. Duke doesn't want that to happen, he wants this guy's death seen by everyone to make them remember, that the threat isn't just nonsense.

So Duke Damien held himself back and clenched his hands tightly, looked at Edmund with fury and said, "B*son." before leaving the place.

Outside, the atmosphere was very crowded, everyone seemed to have been present except Annabel and Arabella who accompanied Annabel in the room. 

"I really couldn't if I had to see someone else's head chopped off in front of my eyes, Mother. Let me here, I know enough that we should not make trouble with Ashlyn at all. I don't want to see it."

Her tears melted, her head shook her head and Arabella who saw her pitiful daughter could not leave her alone. He hugged her and rubbed her back attentively. However, in her heart she could not help but curse her own husband.

That guy's really gone crazy. Her guilt for blinding Ashlyn drove her husband crazy. If he knew this was going to happen, Arabella would have preferred if the Duke never returned home. Now that the situation was like this, the Duke's position was so strong, everyone respected him and feared him, if her husband was on Ashlyn's side, what about her and Annabel.

Arabella secretly racked her brain thinking of a plan to get rid of Ashlyn. This kind-hearted daughter like a white lotus would not be able to live happily and quietly if there was still Ashlyn.

🔸🔸🔸

The people who were in the main courtyard gathered, all talking about what was about to happen. They had absolutely no idea that they would be forced to come to the Daren Lynx residence just to see two people beheaded.

They've heard about what happened, rumors are the reason the two men were beheaded because they poisoned Lady Ashlyn. However, rather than pity Lady Ashlyn, they pity two people who will soon lose their lives.

According to them, Lady Ashlyn deserved to die after the evil deeds she had done all along. Although they had not seen it directly, they had heard much about Lady Ashlyn's cruelty by word of mouth.

With all the evil Ashlyn's crimes it should have been punished and imprisoned in the basement with the rats. However, that evil girl could still live freely without receiving any punishment since she was the Duke's daughter.

And now, the Duke whom they respected turned out to be this kind of person, the Duke who was famous for upholding justice instead defended his wicked daughter and would behead people for his wicked daughter.

These people were very disappointed in Duke, but they could what, they did not have the strength to fight Duke, he said, they can only hope that someday someone will appear who will take over Daren Lynx and exterminate Duke along with his evil daughter.

The aristrotrats present also whispered and shook their heads with this incident.

"I think Daren Lynx has lost her honor."

"Who knows, even if it were me, I would do the same to anyone who dares to poison my daughter."

"But, the problem is that the Duke's daughter is such a person."

"Like what? Like those rumors?"

"Well, you know what I mean, everybody hates him, if the Duke defends him and does this. Look how people are looking at him right now, slowly not only his daughter, but the Duke himself will also be hated by everyone."

"Why do you care about this matter, you know how the history of this imperial protective spear from the west stands, no matter what the head of this family looks like, the knights have already shed their blood of loyalty to him."

"You're right, I don't know why I'm feeling a little shady. Doesn't that mean no one is capable of fighting the Duke?"

"Well, anyway about that rumor, it's just a rumor we don't know if it's true or not, after all we don't need to think about this, either, it doesn't hurt us as long as we don't look for trouble with Duke's daughter."

"Yes, yes, you're right, I don't care if the rumors are true or not as long as it doesn't hurt me."

Secretly they laughed, as the Duke walked out into the courtyard, the boisterous and noisy atmosphere was instantly silent. They all saw how the cold Duke's face seemed to be engulfed in such great fury. The deep blue robe was like a deep ocean fluttering as he walked.

The people who were there paved the way for the Duke with feelings of fear, including the Crown Prince who could not help but feel anxious about this matter.

From the very beginning he received word that Ashlyn was food poisoning, the Crown Prince could not help but think about the owner of the fish cake shop.

That fool! The Crown Prince clenched tightly as he imagined the face of the shopkeeper who was smiling like a fool. He told her to use poor quality ingredients, so why would that person put poison in Ashlyn's cake.

The Crown Prince did not have much time, he had to work quickly to shut the cake shop owner's mouth about his orders. He was so worried, but who would have thought that Duke would actually blame the owner of the noodle shop. It seemed, luck was on his side. However, he somehow could not stop worrying and repeatedly pleaded with the Gods for Ashlyn's death.

If Ashlyn dies, everything will be fine.

Duke Damien stood on the stage, looking at the people gathered there coldly without feeling, the people he had previously wholeheartedly protected, he said, I don't know what's on their minds. Duke could not guess what they were thinking, but Duke would make them remember in their innermost minds that what they were facing was him. The one who had protected them, if they dared to stab him in the back, then he would also not exterminate them.

"Bring them up." The Duke gave the order.

Edmund and the noodle shop owner were dragged out violently, the knights pulled their hair and made their weak and scarred bodies almost stumble with their harsh treatment.

The knights did not care, whether they could still walk or not. They just needed to drag him and take him to the stake to be beheaded.

The people who saw how bad their condition was were were so shocked and shut their open mouths even though there were some who made such sounds.

"Oh, jeez!"

"How pathetic are they."

"How much love they have."

Edmund and the noodle shop owner were forced to kneel on stage with their heads lowered and hands tied back, so tight that their wrists bled.

The people below the stage stared pityfully at them while the aristocrats could only sigh and make this a matter of conversation.

The Duke looked coldly at the two already helpless people before looking forward, and somehow the Crown Prince felt that gaze was directed towards him, this made him tremble, and he was trembling, and all he could do was hide his anxiety in front of everyone by holding his own hand.

"Today!" The duke began to speak, his cold and sharp voice sounding clear. "They will be an example to anyone who dares to hurt my daughter let alone think of killing her."

The duke stared around, people fell silent and lowered his head. However, in their hearts especially the aristocrats thought Duke Damien was so arrogant.

"They will be tortured all night but not allowed to die, because their deaths will be displayed in front of everyone and their heads will be hung on the main gate of the Daren Lynx Mansion so that you do not forget, what happens if you dare hurt my daughter."

Duke Damien then looked at the officer who was about to become the executioner today, he just stared at him and the two men immediately dragged Edmund and the already frail shopkeeper helplessly. However, perhaps because they were so afraid of death or what, the shopkeeper tried to rebel.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness Duke, I am truly innocent! I'm not guilty!"

The owner of the noodle shop continued to chant the words over and over again, but Duke did not care while Edmund did not say anything, his face withered and his eyelids dropped, but her lips could not stop smiling as if she was ready for what was happening and accepted it airily.

However, when they are being dragged and will be placed on the pole. Ashlyn suddenly shouted.

"Stop!" This word stunned everyone and turned their attention to the girl standing on the porch, her long white hair left unraveled and looking a little messy, her lips pale as the color of her skin. But his gray eyes radiated courage, standing there in simple pajamas and bare feet.

Edmund who also immediately saw Ashlyn when he first heard her voice could not help but widen his eyes as Ashlyn's current appearance reminded him of that day ...

The thin silvery-gray haired girl, her arms and legs had many scars and her lips were colorless pale, her eyes were covered in white-colored ribbons, as she coughed, a foul-smelling black colored blood came out from her mouth, but the girl could still smile sarcastically insulting her.

"For me to suffer is you, the one who dropped me into the pit of endless suffering is you, the one who betrayed me is you, the one who took everything from me is you, the one who hurt me the most is you, the one who killed everyone and soaked this land with fishy blood is you and in the end the one who killed me is also you. Forever, even if time could be repeated I would still hate you."
