"Ashlyn, it's time for you to return to the world."
"M."
"I've taught you everything I can teach you, I have nothing left to teach you."
"M."
"When you come back, no matter how bad the world is and how much you hate the world you must use your power to protect the weak and uphold the truth."
"M."
The Supreme Master began to feel her lips twitch and her veins bulging out. This might be the only disciple he had and a genius, but his attitude made him want to hit his head!
"Are you listening to my words!" The teacher raised his voice.
Ashlyn with a face doesn't care, "Mm."
The old man could no longer bear the attitude of his disciple, he immediately hit Ashlyn's head which was immediately embraced by the Duke who rubbed the old man's former punch on his daughter's head.
"Why did you hit him? He didn't make a mistake." Duke voiced his complaint.
The great teacher was angry, "You, it's all your fault he's become like this, you should immediately think of a way to replenish his empty heart or he's really going to be like this forever!"
Ashlyn fell silent in Duke's embrace, her teacher's punch was not at all painful.
"Get out, let me talk to your daughter before you go."
The Duke refused, "You're going to beat up my daughter."
The old man stared angrily and said, "I'll beat you first." before kicking Duke out the door and slamming the door.
The great teacher let out a long sigh, he massaged his temple and looked at Ashlyn.
"Ashlyn, until when are you going to be like this?" The teacher looked at him deeply.
Ashlyn said nothing and just stared at her teacher.
The teacher again breathed. "Ashlyn, you inherited all my knowledge, I can't let you be cold and uncaring, this is the only thing I didn't teach you, Ashlyn. I curse you, even if the world is unfair to you you will not be able to turn away and ignore those who need help. Great power is always accompanied by great responsibility. This is a curse and a gift to you, I will not let your conscience be corrupted just because your heart has been hurt, forever your conscience will be pure and you will always hear his voice clearly."
"And Ashlyn, I pray that your empty heart will soon be filled."
Ashlyn closed her eyes as she recalled what her teacher had said. An empty heart, Ashlyn also wondered if her heart had become empty, could it be that in the eyes of others she looked so indifferent and lonely that her teacher said so.
Ashlyn did not understand, but she was grateful for what her teacher had given her all along, even if her teacher had cursed her, the old man still gave her a lot of gifts, she said, it was not even enough to be transported on two freight trains.
The old man even used his last strength to curse himself and pray for him.
"Ashlyn, I hope you can be happy."
Her teacher, was the only one who said that sincerely to her, after cursing her and sealing her curse with a spell until Ashlyn could feel the pain in her chest, her teacher left, leaving this world for good.
It made Ashlyn regret that she did not treat her teacher well and always made her angry whenever Ashlyn answered her teacher's questions briefly.
"M"
Such a short answer, since when Ashlyn started to do it she does not remember. He just remembered that he started not wanting to talk too much, simply replying to them with "Mm" if he understood and agreed to what they were saying.
Ashlyn, don't want to waste energy.
But for her teacher she was really sorry because Ashlyn was not given the chance to thank her. The teacher just left.
Ashlyn lowered her head at the thought of this, and the Duke sitting in front of her could see the sadness on her daughter's face.
Her daughter has not lost all her emotions.
"Don't worry about your teacher, he's been alive for so long and ever since he decided to become his student he's been planning to go take a break."
Ashlyn sighed and simply replied, "Mm."
Duke, he's frustrated, he has to fix this problem right away. She could not let her daughter continue to close her heart and lose all her emotions.
It might be better when Duke sees Ashlyn's restrained calm face than when he sees Ashlyn angry and crying, it hurts his heart. However, the Duke was eager to see his daughter smile and laugh again, therefore he had to make Ashlyn reopen her heart.
But how?
The old man said it was time for Ashlyn to experience spring.
The duke struggled in his mind and started thinking about the names he knew. The Fourth Prince of the Orpan Kingdom has a pretty good personality, the Marvel knight of the Arlanta kingdom can also be on the list, he is black sweet and has a calm personality, he might be able to understand Ashlyn, he has a good personality, or the young duke who had just ascended the throne, Duke Louis of Orpan, that boy had great talent.
"Hmm?" The duke propped his chin with his thumb and index finger, continuing to think about this until a knight knocked on the door of his carriage.
"Your Majesty, we have arrived at the Royal Capital of Orpan. At the gate, it seems like they are sending troops to welcome His Majesty's arrival."
Duke nodded his head, "Alright, I'll go down."
"Ashlyn, do you want to come down with me?"
"M."
The duke personally helped Ashlyn get off the carriage and met the representatives of the Orpan Kingdom.
"I am Duke Louise of Orpan, glad to welcome you and your entourage to our Kingdom."
Duke Damien looked at the green-eyed young man intently, he had just thought about it and he was meeting him now. Indirectly, Duke Damien glanced at his daughter who was standing not far away from him, thinking was it possible that this was a matchmaker?
Nah! Louise may be a great young man who is talented as a swordsman, she is also brave and has a good personality, but somehow the Duke feels that this young man is no match for his daughter.
Passes! He'll get through it.
So Duke Damien only received his greetings and they chatted before leaving for the palace to meet King Orpan.
However, the moment they got there, Ashlyn suddenly disappeared and only left a white bird that could speak.
"I go for a walk, say my regards to His Majesty the King and Queen." This was the voice of her daughter, Ashlyn could really make this kind of thing.
Duke did not know what to do, he did not think that his daughter who for two years looked very calm and obedient who always replied, "Mm." every time you talk, you will behave like this today.
Ashlyn also doesn't know why, as this isn't Olivia's kingdom where the Crown Prince lives, and she's not the real antagonist either. However, somehow he still did not want to go to the palace.
Perhaps it was because Ashlyn would never forget, as she heard the sad part of the antagonist kneeling in the Royal Hall, humiliated in front of everyone, crying but no one pitied him and at the Palace the Duke slapped him blind.
Ashlyn did not want to go there.
Following his heart, Ashlyn slipped as soon as they got off the carriage and left a message for Duke Damien, the moment she appeared inside the deserted alley after she used teleportation.
He could actually use teleportation after learning magic and practicing every day. However, this great thing somehow still did not make him happy. He still felt that this world was unfair to him.
Ashlyn tried to feel the surroundings, there was no human presence there and there were only two cats and some rodents.
He had no idea what he was going to do, but he started taking steps towards the crowd and stopped at a fruit shop, he bought some to bring before returning to continue his journey.
On the road, Ashlyn continued to sense the existence of people passing by. However, there was one that had the same scent that kept following him from behind.
Ashlyn does not know who the person is, she has a strange scent in Ashlyn's memory. However, that fellow continued to follow him and kept a distance of about a meter from him.
Ashlyn wanted to know what the person was going to do so she continued walking and began to sense that the person following her was starting to grow.
"This beautiful Young Miss, are you lost? I've never seen you here before?"
The voice of the man in a seductive tone, were these people trying to rob him?
The fat man with the bearded face smiled and when he saw Ashlyn who had gray eyes, he could not help but rub his hands. He felt that he had found an incredible prey.
Not only was she blind, the clothes she was wearing were not cheap either and the girl in front of her was extremely beautiful, roughly how much this girl was worth on the black market, he said, or better he could auction it off and get a higher price.
"Are you really lost, Miss. If you're lost I don't mind setting you up."
Ashlyn felt a sense of ill will and did not want to deal with the man, so she ignored him and walked past him just like that.
Seeing Ashlyn's uncaring demeanor, the man became enraged and regarded Ashlyn as an arrogant girl simply because she was an upper class.
The man immediately pulled Ashlyn's hand, making Ashlyn drop all her apples.
"Never think that you are an aristocrat and you can do everything. You're alone here, I'll sell you on the black market. Everyone, get him and put him in with the others."
Ashlyn sighed, the man's pull bothering her, but what bothered her even more was the familiar smell on her nose.
The smell belonged to the person who had a rough mouth and the brain of a shrimp who fell in love with the girl who could only smile and laugh.
"Hohoho, see what I see now? Don't I take a wrong look, isn't this Ashlyn the bad girl?"
Ashlyn's face darkened, why even if the world was so vast and when she walked the streets of the ordinary, in other kingdoms she was met with this person.
Crown Prince! Hanz!
