Not having time to wear a uniform because of the rush to approach Ashley, there are benefits for Alais. In the prostitution area, a knight would not be allowed to enter. Having a written agreement with the local authorities, only the king's emissaries were able to ignore the rule.
Standing for a moment in front of a building with brighter lighting than others, Ashley looked to the right and left. Look at the other buildings around there, making sure it's not in the wrong place.
Intending to enter regardless of the two guards who were in charge of checking the weapons in front of her, Ashley walked over while watching the short passageway leading to the hall.
One of the guards then stopped Ashley by stretching out her sword-carrying hand. Almost the woman spontaneously hit the guard's wrist to snatch the sword she was carrying.
He could have thrust his sword into the enemy.
Threshed then the man who had the scalp by Ashley. Thinking a stick was also a weapon, the guard was about to ask Ashley for a stick. What's more, it's not usually a woman carrying a stick as an accessory.
Slightly lifting up her nightgown, Ashley deliberately showed off the prosthetic leg she was wearing. Then, he hit the wooden leg slowly using a stick while saying,
"It's easy to use this."
"Gua help if you want to try."
Understanding if the woman needed her cane, the guard lowered his hand without saying anything else. After giving Alais the sword, the three of them entered the middle hall.
Ashley's eyes scanned the entire corner of the room, paying attention to the furniture and spatial arrangement that looked unfamiliar to her. The building is still the same, some things still look the same, but the rest are different.
"This gas didn't exist at first, did it?" Ashley asked pointing at a large vase with beautiful carvings that looked quite expensive beside her.
Bellena who has also come there also agreed. He also nodded as Ashley ascertained whether the vase was really expensive. And again not just one, in the hall alone there are 6 similar vases.
Seeing that change, Ashley thought, can someone earn that kind of money in such a short period of time?
Approaching someone who looks like a guard, Ashley asks if the place really belongs to Guilherme, Aaron's boss. But instead of answering, the man looked at Ashley with suspicion.
Feeling impatient because he wanted to immediately meet his acquaintance, the woman's emotions began to be provoked.
"Wait Miss. Maybe he's just being vigilant."
"I'd be like that if anyone asked me about Miss."
Hearing Bellena's words that did have a point, making Ashley's annoyance slightly subside. However, the 'alertness' they showed was indeed a little excessive.
Unknowingly, several others had gathered around Ashley and her two subordinates. Like seeing the arrival of an uninvited person, they show a hostile face that tests patience.
Alais then stretches out her arms, trying to protect Ashley from two sides that Bellena has not blocked. He knew, rather than Ashley, Bellena was the one who should be protected. However, Ashley's safety is her highest priority, even if it means sacrificing her partner.
As a fellow subordinate who served Ashley, Alais was convinced that Bellena must have thought the same thing.
Of course not.
As Ashley only silently watched Alais's hand that dared to block her movement, Bellena was preoccupied with other thoughts.
His confidence in Ashley's ability is very high, so it can make the girl who easily panicked it did not feel threatened at all. On the other hand, he was more worried if Ashley could not be stopped because she was too angry. Her non-aggressive anger at the Midgraff residence a moment ago still sets aside the trauma within Bellena.
As if aided by fate, Ashley then saw a male figure who was no stranger to her from a distance. The person with a large body who had just crossed upstairs with some of his clients.
"Hey Gui!" Call Ashley out loud.
The woman's voice was so loud that it could be heard by everyone in the place. The man immediately turned his head down, looking towards the source of the voice.
Not only was the loudness of the voice able to make Guilherme turn her head towards Ashley, but also because only a handful of people dared to use her nickname.
"See who's coming?" Say it while going down the stairs.
With eyes that showed opposition, Ashley also opened her hands, but with a different meaning. A questioning gesture regarding the welcoming attitude obtained by the woman.
Gazing at the line of men who dared to surround Ashley, Guilherme's expression turned menacing.
"What are you doing to my loyal customers?"
Loyal customer?
As with Aaron, the man also considers Ashley as his friend, why this time a loyal customer? When Ashley never even used her services.
Hearing what the man said, the people surrounding Ashley began to make room. After bending down, they left the woman with their boss.
Seen later by the big man, his acquaintance who this time came only with a sleeping dress upholstered in a long coat.
"You look different."
"Let's go in." Then take it without a stale base.
Seeing the smile on the woman's face, the man concluded that Ashley had forgiven him. One of her arms was stretched out to let her in, and the other was waiting for Ashley.
As soon as the woman stepped forward, the man immediately put his hand on Ashley's shoulder. Then the neck was pulled over by Guilherme in anxiety, revealing how happy she was to see Ashley coming.
At the same time, his eyes glanced at one of the guards earlier, giving him a look full of anger at daring to act arbitrarily.
Entering Guilherme's room, Ashley and her two subordinates were immediately welcome to sit down. After closing the door so that there were no distractions, offered an alcoholic drink to the three of them.
There was no one else there but the four of them. It was quite strange for Ashley, as Guilherme always treated her subordinates like friends.
"Good rank but authority down." Ashley said before drinking the drink that was served to her.
Hearing such a highly targeted remark, the big man burst into laughter. He had no other option but to agree with Ashley's words.
"Where are your people?" Ashley asked later, who realized these people were not Guilherme's original subordinates.
"Quickers." Answer's short.
While looking at the water inside the glass he was holding, the man simply smiled.
Looking back and looking at Ashley, he chuckled. The woman just sat leaning back across her legs while enjoying her drink, but her eyes looked forward to an explanation.
A brief explanation was given by the man.
"Because of something, the rules here change a little. They're no longer fit to work here, so I kicked them out."
"Other than that, it's all the same." Next later.
Put back Ashley's unexpected glass was empty so quickly. Then, as the man was pouring his drink while asking why the woman was in such a hurry, Ashley mentioned something that immediately made Guilherme speechless.
"Fars."
"Something you mean, also because of him?"
