Cinderella Crazy
And why do you wear clothes?

With eyes closed and hands tied back around a wooden pole, a man was confined in a room without lighting. Only silence was with him a few minutes after the interrogators left the room.

Realizing that there were no more eyes watching him, the man who had just sat quietly during the interrogation began to take action.

Trying to grab the end of his sleeve, the man made a little trouble because the large size of the pole made his hands far apart.

Leaning forward, he slowly shifted his arm upward. Once it felt enough, then he pressed his body back to the back.

Accompanied by the pain he had to endure because in a position as if to break his own arm, the man struggled to reach the end of his sleeve.

From the middle crease that is deliberately not sewn, tucked a sharp square-shaped metal plate that is only the size of a nail. After successfully taking the small object out, he relaxed his arm for a moment, letting the pain bothering him gradually disappear first.

Just a few seconds is more than enough.

Continuing the action, the knife was used to cut the rope that tied the two hands of the man. Slowly but surely, he can feel the fiber for the sake of the broken fiber.

A few moments passed with the high concentration that he shared to sharpen his hearing while speeding up his movements.

Successfully passing through the crucial moment unhindered, the man untied the bond in his hand. Still not completely detached because of the shackles that blocked his view, cut a cloth that was tied tightly close the two men's eyes with the same knife.

Opening the eyes like a baby who can not see, his vision becomes blurry for a moment due to pressure for a long time.

At the same time, he heard the sound of a door lock that opened slowly. Not hearing the sound of footsteps approaching before, he was made a bit of a brat. Either because it was too focused with his gaze or indeed the uninvited guest who came without a sound.

Not yet able to recognize the surrounding environment because the view is still disturbed, the man decided to wait for the right moment rather than move to find a hiding place.

He hid the cloth and rope that tied him behind his back. Re-circling his hands back while bowing his head, he pretended to still be tied as before.

But different from what he imagined, the first sentence he heard was,

"What the f*ck?"

With a pause of a few seconds after the door opened, he heard the voice of a woman cursing for no reason as he knew it.

Foreign woman? Is he the leader? Is the man's play known? Is that why the woman is upset?

Still sitting down he prepared himself to find a gap to dodge and then gave a counterattack when someone approached.

However, his reflection was actually scattered by the voice of another woman.

A voice recorded eternally in his memory.

"Will?"

Hearing Eva's voice, the blond man immediately raised his head, finding two women standing not far from him. Although his gaze still did not refocus completely, he was able to recognize the blonde woman standing beside Eva.

The woman he thought was a woman from another kingdom, who he thought was one of the top officials of the warehouse, turned out to be the woman who had rejected him when he asked for help.

As with the man, Ashley also did not expect if the person who was locked there was Will. It offended her that the guards said they had gotten a bigger catch, or in other words a more important person than the blonde woman.

As a fugitive with a very high value, the woman puts her pride in an unnatural place.

"And why are you wearing clothes?" Added.

Very strange, and unnatural, and strange, and unjust, and strange. No matter how Ashley tries to think about it, she still cannot understand why Will looks like the kidnapped 'Daughter of the King. While he was treated like a 'Running Shooter' who was caught by the enemy.

In Ashley's eyes, in the deep interrogation after a thorough search, it was perfectly natural for a prisoner to be stripped of his clothes. The fact that made him envious was that Will was getting a different treatment.

Different stories if the 'different treatment' is actually beneficial Ashley. Because at any rate unfair, people would only protest if they were harmed.

But now is not the time to argue about it.

Neither Will nor Eva, who were too familiar with the direction of Ashley's question, clearly caught it as a strange question. Both are confused by how to deal with the topic.

Until the moment Will's eyes returned to their original state, he realized something. His attention is now focused on Ashley's physical condition.

Let's say the woman's mentality as a criminal is already beyond help, but seeing a girl who always looks beautiful and charming suddenly become battered, who wouldn't be surprised?

As Ashley had asked earlier, she was only wearing a pair of underwear with cuts and bruises adorning all over her body, covering Ashelia's delicate white skin. From the face to the tip of the foot, no part was left unturned.

Will is made to wonder more and more, is the woman secretly looking for Eva after refusing to help him? And it ends like this? Her relationship with Eva also doesn't look like a 'stranger'. Why would he lie and do it alone?

Rising slowly and then stepping up to the two girls who were still standing in the doorway, Will's movement stopped instantly as the sword that had moved into Ashley's hand now pointed to his chest.

Eva, who was also startled by the actions of her younger sister, just took turns staring at the two blondes there. Seeing Ashley, who was just pointing at Will and not directly thrusting the sharp object, convinced Eva that her childhood friend would be fine.

Looking at the blonde girl before him, Will understood. The reason Ashley lied to him and carried out the rescue operation all by herself, until it ended like this, was because she could not trust anyone. It makes perfect sense to remember that Farlah was his enemy.

Unthinkable to him, if Ashley did not intend to help Eva after she provoked. The depraved woman's heart was only moved back in the last seconds.

That's Ashley's real reason.

Considering Will's loyalties, who had been searching for Eva for years, the sword was revealed later.

But that doesn't mean they're friends now. Ashley's goal back in the room was to take advantage of the prisoners there, and make him a decoy at any time if necessary. But because Will is the one Eva likes, Ashley is forced to change her plans.

Despite all the good or bad intentions that lie behind the man's actions, at least for now they have the same goal - freeing Eva.

Staring at the blonde man in front of her with a look of caution, Ashley pointed out blatantly if she did not welcome Will with open arms.
