Looking at someone who was not surprised when he witnessed his partner being arrested, Ashley felt strange. That person even so easily followed Bellena's words like a fool.
Testing the response that the man would give, Ashley accidentally stabbed the third courier foot and then pointed at the poor man's neck using a knife. Seeing it directly, even a fool must understand if the situation he is experiencing is bad.
But on the contrary, the Second Courier remained unmoved and showed no fear at all. That's enough evidence to convince Ashley if the guy's just pretending to be stupid.
Then, after watching his three field colleagues killed, the man actually said he was waiting for someone to destroy the Far organization. Can Ashley trust someone like that?
The woman did not understand what it was like to rebel, because she was very proud of all the achievements she had so far.
However, he also knows that problems must always be there to maintain balance and encourage growth to a higher level.
If something that is absolute lasts too long, it will actually inhibit growth and affect balance. That's when they need a new wave. It generally ends in a coup.
It may not be until the stage of the coup, but the courier clearly wants a change because he has seen an imbalance. Issues that made him not want to side with the people by his side.
Explaining that his boss could not be found without making an appointment first, the man asked Ashley to come tomorrow. On the grounds that if the woman wants to join the drug business they do, she wants to persuade her boss to want to meet his new 'colleagues.
"And how do the cave sure if you do not run away or ngadu."
Her mouth gaped as soon as she heard Ashley's reply. He wanted to answer the words, but not a single word could be said. He has no evidence, and has no intention of taking any risks by making any guarantees.
"...how could you." His insistence was not over thought.
He trusted Ashley and told her the truth. He even shows his serious side when he doesn't like to be serious.
But just because you believe in someone, doesn't mean that person will turn around to trust you.
At least, not that instant.
"I want to say you're free not to believe, but I want you to believe."
"And if it's just running away - if you want to fight Far, you have to be able to overcome such trifles, right?" Continue the supervisor who doubles as the courier.
Giving a pause for a few seconds while throwing a gaze full of ciruga, Ashley made the atmosphere there stiffen again.
Closing her eyes as her facial expression turned relaxed, Ashley chuckled. He looked at the man in front of him with a look of disdain.
"Well, Imma forget about Far for a while and hunt you down if you dare to mess with me."
Swallowing his saliva, the man was instinctively made to not dare to be so-called by Ashley.
Although coming from a kingdom known to have a majority population of experts in the art of fighting, he did not have this ability. Therefore, his instincts became more sensitive. He can clearly distinguish which ones are just bluffs and which ones are really threats.
...****************...
Deciding to trust the supervisor, Ashley and her two subordinates returned.
Because he felt he had to leave the place immediately before anyone caught him, inevitably Ashley had to give up his wasted knife somewhere. Too many piles of used items in the area.
Taking a short break and waking up when the sunlight had long illuminated the entire Midgraff residence, Ashley decided to soak in the cold water for longer than usual.
Finished cooling her body and mind, Ashley intended to join the lunch together after a long time.
Walking past the pile of illegible letters with the seal of the Derius family crest, the woman left her room for the dining room.
From her handwriting, Ashley already knew who sent the stack of folding papers. The same girl who kept sending him letters during the healing period.
Saying her father would not give her permission if he did not have proof of Ashley's reply, Kalia could not make an impromptu visit. On the other hand, deliberately ignoring the girl for not wanting to be bothered, Ashley ended up getting a letter of protest from Kalia every day.
Soon, a married couple arrived who did not expect their daughter to eat together today. Revealing his shining face, Vincent greeted the girl who gave him such graceful respect.
Seeing that the head of the family was present and stopped in his chair, the servants began to work.
"We haven't eaten together in a long time. You always look busy, do you eat regularly?" Vincent asked in between eating his food.
Answering with a short answer, Ashley asserted the question so as not to make Vincent worried, although in fact he always put aside meal time.
"Why do you look so busy? Your father always asks you every meal." Said Marion later.
Stopping suddenly when the dish he was about to eat was already in front of his mouth, Ashley then looked forward. Marion's attitude was indeed quite surprising, but there were other things that surprised her more.
"Ah, it's okay. You made a new friend? Have fun." Vincent tried not to burden his daughter.
Always locked away, Vincent looks happy when he realizes his daughter finally has a new friend.
Ashley paused for a moment, thinking about whether it didn't matter if it was like this. Vincent's expression looked so warm. The words he spoke and the way he spoke were very friendly. Compared to the upside with the 'papa' that he had known.
Even if this isn't real, can it be like this?
His chest sipped again, and his finger joints were sore. Trying not to think too deeply, Ashley said,
"I..."
"I'll come every meal."
Wanting to say 'try', the woman changed her sentence because she really wanted to be present and eat with her 'family'.
Shortly after hearing the promise of his only daughter, Vincent fell silent, before finally returning to smile while nodding.
"Yes, then I'll come every meal." Vincent's reply promised me his time.
"Don't push yourself if you're doing a lot of work." Marion softly worried about her husband.
Replying to his wife's concerns with a reassuring answer, Vincent said eating together could also refresh his mind. That way his work will also be completed faster and he does not need to stay up as much as Marion worries.
Looking at Vincent from the other end of the dining table, Ashley spoke only a thousand languages. Not doing anything other than staring at the man with a meaningful gaze for a while, Ashley made Vincent realize the gaze.
"What's wrong? You wanna say something? Just say it." Ask Vincent with a gentle smile.
Shaking her head, Ashley then said,
"nothing. You look good together."
Surprised by the unexpected statement, both Vincent and Marion simply stared.
Aware of what she had just said, Ashley looked back to the front, finding the two people still frozen there.
Breaking the awkwardness, Vincent laughed.
Yeah, like that.
Ashley was sure that if her mother had heard her daughter just say her father looked good with another woman, she would have laughed like that.
