Cinderella Crazy
I'm talking about Miss Ashelia Rosanna Midgraff

Approaching the gate of the Midgraff residence, the two guards standing in front of the gate immediately looked relieved and anxious. One of them then ran inside, about to relay information on Ashley's return.

Bowing his greetings to the two horsemen, the remaining guard voiced the feeling that Ashley had returned safely. Asked later, the situation of the woman by the guard, which was then answered with an answer 'fine' by the Blonde without further explanation.

"Well you know the cave's gone?" Ask the woman to continue.

Still bowing, the guard there asserted his nonanya question. Two men on guard last night had reported to Vincent because Ashley had not returned until the turn of their turn after sunrise. As a result, Count Lozan was about to plunge directly while bringing some of his knights to find the princess only wayang who went nowhere.

Arriving home in time before Vincent departs for the search, Ashley feels he has made the right decision by following Daryl's advice.

Enter the two nobles who had just arrived to the hamalan front area, which was soon greeted with excitement all residents of the house.

Descending from his mounts, Ashley and Daryl greet the head of the household and his wife. Using only gestures without words, Ashley made no one realize her greeting was only addressed to Vincent.

The worried face was clearly drawn on the middle-aged man's face, something that was arguably not new but still felt foreign in Ashley's eyes. After returning the Marquis's greetings beside his daughter, Vincent refocused his attention on the young girl before him.

"Where have you been!? Are you hurt?"

Not expecting the result to be like this, Ashley had not prepared any excuses at all. He tries to find a reasonable reason as soon as possible to calm Vincent's worries.

"Mr Ristoff?"

Before Ashley could give him an answer, the man turned to the male figure on the left side of his daughter. Not at all suspicious, Vincent instead thinks that just like before, Daryl must have helped Ashley from danger.

However, suddenly the bloody man of the royal family knelt down and said,

"I'll take responsibility!"

reversing the impression of the 'savior' he bears becomes 'suspect'.

"Miss Ashelia came to see me to correct my misunderstanding. Because it was dark, so I asked him to stay."

Hearing Daryl bear all the authority in order to keep the good name of Ashley, the blonde woman managed to impress. For a 'stranger' Daryl was indeed too influential for him. The thing that made the man's degree rise one level in Ashley's eyes.

But of course, such an explanation will not be accepted by the parents of the girl. Unable to accept the false fact that a man dared to take his daughter to stay overnight made Vincent boarded the apoplexy.

"Why don't you take her home!?" No longer using formal sentences, Vincent emphasized his role as a father in the presence of Daryl and not a Count who was under his status.

"Sorry, I think Miss Ashelia must have been quite tired by then, so I didn't deliver her." Daryl's reply still kept Ashley out of the matter.

Vincent's anger has not subsided. Kneeling was not enough to make the father of one child was devastated. The answer Daryl gave was also still not acceptable to him. Marion who had been standing next to Vincent did not dare to interfere, as if she also agreed and understood why her husband was so angry.

While Ashley, the real Prime Suspect, just silently watched the drama unfold. He did not have the slightest intention to berandil in the feud before the situation got worse.

"But if you don't believe my words, I'll take responsibility."

Silent for a moment, Vincent then responds to Daryl's words cynically. An unexpected expression could be attached to the face of the man who was known to be friendly.

"Are you going to use my daughter as an excuse to run away and join your father's faction?" Ask.

Surprised by the words he had just heard, Daryl spontaneously raised his head and said resolutely,

"My personal problems will remain my privacy."

Not only Daryl, Ashley was able to be surprised by Vincent. When angry, his biological father does emit a gripping aura that is far more than Vincent, so he is still able to adjust.

But Vincent's cynical facial expression at this time was clearly very similar to Anthony, making Ashley shivering because she felt her father had possessed Vincent.

"Are you talking about Duke Grekstine?" Vincent trivial.

"No, I'm talking about Miss Ashelia Rosanna Midgraff."

Glancing at the man who had not been tired of walking there, Ashley did not expect Daryl to remember Ashelia's name when he himself sometimes forgot Ashelia had a middle name. Honestly, it also feels a little unbalanced because the woman does not even remember 2 middle names Daryl.

He was stared at by Vincent for a while. Undaunted and continuing to show his sincerity, Daryl finally managed to make Vincent accept the apology indirectly.

Back seeing his only daughter who had gasped when he looked at her, Vincent also asked Alais whereabouts. As the woman's personal knight, it was only natural that she always accompanied Ashley when she was outdoors.

But like Vincent, Ashley has also been wondering since then, where the nose of the overprotective man went. It was strange when the reddish-brown man did not become the first person he saw while outside the room. When opening the door of the room, sometimes Alais has welcomed him. Was the knight resting as Ashley asked?

But Vincent clearly invites some knights in his search plan, there is no way Alais will be silent when he hears the news about his non.

Glancing at Bellena who was not far from there and standing beside the butler, Ashley seemed to throw Vincent's question at him. Answering with a headband, the girl also did not know where her partner was.

The disappearance of the knight with no news made Ashley feel a little awkward. Recalling what happened to Eva and the speech of the fortune teller she met earlier, the woman's feelings were made uncomfortable.

But if Alais is in the Midgraff family environment, she should be fine, right?

He saw a woman standing next to Vincent with an innocent face.

Or maybe not?
