Cinderella Crazy
Knock, Knock
Beliefs.
Just as Will initially thought it was better to carry a sword than Ashley, the blonde also thought that Eva did not have to actually use her sword.
Just let me.
It is too rude to say that they do not trust each other, because the basis of their thinking is to protect. But that reason is also unable to dismiss the facts.
With their respective beliefs and plans, both Ashley and Will, put all the burden on their own shoulders. Individualist perceptions that grow because of protective attitudes.
Not feeling like they are doing anything wrong, both are blinded by their own desires. As a result, the person they want to protect becomes the one they never notice. The feelings and point of view of the person they want to protect, juatru becomes the first thing they ignore.
Therefore, Eva's determination is not legible by Ashley, although it is clearly illustrated when she grasps the sword given by Blonde.
In silence Eva strengthened herself. No longer as a burden, but as a comrade-in-arms. To be able to protect the two people there, a person who could not fight like himself, at least needed a weapon.
On the other hand, seeing the sword he was aiming for actually falling into the hands of the woman who did not know the sword arts, Will sighed.
Not intending to resist, he who also knew the reason Ashley gave the sword to Eva, chose the same decision. It's just that, realizing his role also increased into 'bait', making Will inevitably have to change his mindset.
He had to start relying on the two women there instead of trying to protect them completely.
With the ability Ashley had, it was easy for the man to believe her. As long as Ashley doesn't act too extreme she thinks everything will be fine.
As for Eva, Ashley's planned deception won't last forever. Sooner or later, their enemies will realize that something is strange when they see Eva not fighting. Hence, the woman should be able to swing her sword when it is really needed.
If all goes as expected, Eva will be fine as Ashley will protect her while Will becomes the primary target.
Very dangerous actually, considering the man had to fight a horde of armed men with his bare hands. However, Ashley's completely undaunted attitude, made the only man in their group dare to exert everything he had.
No need to worry about things that have not happened, he only needs to fight with all his might when the road is already visible in plain sight. Because sometimes, too much thinking will only shackle yourself.
Upon arrival where their enemies gathered, Will must be able to snatch the opponent's weapon if he does not want to fight empty-handed until the end.
Unfortunately,
Unlike Will, Ashley, with all the arrogance she has, still intends to do it herself. He still intended not to let anyone get close to Eva, as if he did not want his two new sisters hands dirty.
A more mature age is not a sign that one will be wiser. A wise person cannot escape from mistakes.
Because 'usually' doesn't mean 'always'.
When Ashley thought of protecting Eva by constantly putting everything on herself, she only deepened the concerns of those who cared about her. The person who not only wants to see his back, but also wants to stand parallel next to him.
That stubbornness, which will lead Ashley to consequences that can not be paid only with a regret.
...****************...
Some time running, with the readiness to face attack at any time, the three are not met by one opponent.
Feeling something strange about the safe situation, Ashley and Will believe that the enemy must be waiting for their presence.
But it's also wrong.
A soft music sound was heard, obliterated by the sound of laughter and jest from the end of the hallway. Dominated by male voices, the laughter of some women was heard occasionally on the sidelines.
At the last hall they had to pass through to reach the exit, about 30 people filled the place. With several towering pillars and a staircase leading to the top floor, the spacious room became the most strategic place to gather.
3 women present a dance of gangs in the middle of the room, locking the attention of men who seemed to be stalking their prey. While some other women are busy playing with men who are no longer able to hold back. Common sights found in brothels.
It's just, this one's more open, like the illegal clubs in Ashley's world.
Moral is indeed the last thing in question in Ashelia's world, though it's actually not much different from where Ashley came from. When some of their colleagues had just been killed, the warehouse managers actually partied tired.
Pressure, anxiety, fear, and anger filled the room. Ashley's arrival, as well as how much of Far's influence has taken away their freedom of decision-making.
Then, to calm the chaos, the leader deliberately diverted their minds in the fastest way. Unfortunately, Ashley's second escape was unthinkable to her.
In an uncontrollable state due to the loss of rationality, it was obvious that the screams of his own comrades were not heard by them. Even when Ashley had been among those people, no one noticed.
No, except one guy.
The person he is now embracing so kindly. The guy who took Ashley to the barn. And the one who had also made the blonde woman was caught.
The Traitor.
"Knock, knock." Ashley said as she tapped her wooden leg on the floor.
Who's there?
"It's Death."
Screaming as he broke loose as he found out who had come to pick him up, the skinny man looked so pitiful.
Not without pain. As soon as Ashley sensed any movement, she spontaneously swung the sword in her hand. So quickly, the woman managed to prevent her target from escaping by cutting off one of the legs of the traitor.
His startled cry turned into a cry of terror, saving the man's face from his cowardice even in the most painful manner.
No longer 'invisible', now Ashley has become the center of attention.
Seeing the terrible events before their eyes, the 'soft' women there began to be shrouded in panic. The same is felt by some warehouse managers.
A high-pitched scream instantly filled the hall. Along with the women, not a few warehouse managers who also intend to escape.
Running ahead of them all, the Violent Enthusiast then stopped and blocked the only exit of the hall. With his sword pointed, he did not let anyone leave without his permission.
Not a single inch shifted to give way, or just lower his sword, Ashley let the women who had not had time to get paid go from there. Hurrying to escape, one by one of them went through the left and right side of Ashley.
Staring at the rest of the people, to be honest, Ashley was expecting Alais to be there. If the knight was with him, perhaps the situation before Ashley would be resolved much faster.
A small cut on one end of the blonde woman's lips was also seen. He did not expect that now he began to bond with people in the world of Ashelia.
Ironic indeed, considering he intended to leave them in the end.
