Cinderella Crazy
You won't be the fifth, right?

Out of the alley alone, Ashley continues her journey towards Aaron's 'play area. Not getting any info, he could only hope that Aaron could help him find out.

Rolling her arms up, the woman tried to close the evidence of her actions at the end of the dead end she had just left. Doing it neatly and quickly, Ashley tried her best not to dirty her clothes. Nonetheless, it was extremely difficult for such menial work to leave no traces at all.

Arriving in Aaron's territory, Ashley was greeted by a small child who hit him suddenly. The back of the child's collar is drawn until it is lifted and suffocated. The terror is clearly depicted on the child's face, making Ashley then release it.

Not out of pity, the woman was only sure that the child who had stolen Daryl's money would not dare to steal from her again.

Holding the head of the boy who was about to escape, Ashley asked Aaron where he was. Unfortunately, the man she was looking for was nowhere to be found.

Although it was just a glance, the child was very sure he had just smelled the scent of blood when Ashley picked him up. The reason that was able to explain the extraordinarily fearful facial features he was wearing.

At first the little boy thought Ashley would not believe his words, but the woman just took it off. Turning around and stepping out of the alley, Ashley left without saying goodbye.

Taking his doubts aside, the woman went towards the arena of fighting the person she had been in first. He just didn't think that the place also operated during the day.

"Closed. Open at 6." Said the owner of the trinkets shop when Ashley paid the entrance fee.

Ashley took the money back and left without saying a word.

Fucking kid.

Far away from coming there, the woman wastes her time and energy because she was consumed by a child's trick. He understood that the child must have intended to protect Aaron, especially Aaron was exposed to problems due to the child's mistakes. But to dare to act means to dare to take risks.

Walking back to meet the boy who dared to prank her, Ashley was stopped by someone who suddenly called out to her from behind.

Looking to see who the nobleman who also roamed in the suspicious environment, he found a blond man looking down to greet him.

"My name is Will Grud Boschman. If you'd like to, can I have some time to talk?"

Of the entire noble Ashley met, only the man had manners. From the name, Ashley could guess if the man also came from a Count-level family.

When most people behave badly towards you, then suddenly there is someone who is being kind, it is natural to put suspicion on him.

Not returning the greeting, Ashley deliberately gave the impression that the arrival of the man was not desirable. Despite feeling a little offended, Will has to lower his ego. Only Ashley can possibly help him at this moment.

Ignoring the foreign man who appeared out of nowhere, Ashley then left.

"It's about Miss Thalistine. Or what you know as-"

"Eva."

"I just killed 4 people."

"You won't be the fifth, right?"

Shudder the man he made. So wild what is the bloodthirsty nature of the woman in front of him that makes him kill 4 people during the day? Even after the massacre he committed last night.

Doesn't it matter that Daryl likes people like this?

"I'm sure we're on the same side." Answer Will later.

"Which side do you take 'us'?"

For a moment Will felt a little hesitant to answer the question. But sure that Ashley would side with him, the man replied.

"I know you're in close contact with Miss Thalistine."

"Isn't that why you destroyed someone's place of business last night? To help Miss Thalistine?"

Suddenly laughing loudly, Ashley made Will feel he had made the wrong decision. His laughter was so detached that it sounded so disdainful.

"Lo's kidding? The cave admitted it because of the business deal they bargained for was not in the way the cave wanted."

"And why do you know about it-"

In an instant the look on the woman's face turned serious. With such a powerful killing aura, Ashley attacked the man before her all of a sudden.

"Sooking?"

Surviving even though his outer clothes had to be cut off, Will looked at the woman who was unceremoniously slashing just now. Look at the blade of the sword that was originally hiding in Ashley's staff, making the man forced to keep a distance with his interlocutor.

"I just came to ask for your help."

"Didn't you want to help her, too?" Will asked in silence as the two remained silent.

But unlike her expectations, Ashley's reply was disappointing.

"Why should the cave howl a stranger who only found the cave a few times?"
