Ashley, who usually goes to her new playground just before sunset, is now just relaxing in her room enjoying the atmosphere.
An atmosphere that reminded him of the events before he was struck by lightning. The day when it rained hard and lightning struck here and there.
His heart was racing, considering the events that were the beginning of his life change. The restlessness that lingered within him, mixed with a feeling of impatience waiting for the result of the ambush of Marion's horse carriage.
The woman continued to show her evil smile, as a result of her irritation and unbearable pleasure.
Bellena, who suddenly became a cheerful girl 2 days ago, returns to be a friendly girl with anxiety.
A full day he accompanied Ashley who continued to show her scary smile from the time it rained. The dragon also always cursed every time lightning struck, making Bellena several times mistakenly think that he had made a mistake.
The sky has become dark. Sunlight, which was only faint because it was covered in cloudy clouds, is now not visible at all. Even so, Marion, or whoever brought the news of Marion's death has not yet appeared.
Not long after, Ashley heard a commotion outside, which was slightly enveloped by the sound of rain.
He glanced at the window before asking Bellena to check it out. The woman did not want to get close to the window in the slightest while the lightning still continued to lash out.
"That's the madam's train!?"
Although Bellena should have known what was going to happen to Marion today, she was still shocked to see the state of Marion's broken carriage here and there and one of her sides no longer had a door.
After confirming who had come, Ashley then moved from the sofa where she was sitting, and went straight to the main door.
Bellena continued to watch the train, waiting for the person who was going to get out of there.
A woman wearing the clothes Marion was wearing this afternoon came out. But Bellena felt strange, she felt the woman was not Marion.
Realizing Ashley had already descended to the bottom of leaving her. Bellena ran after her nona.
Arriving below, Ashley has started playing her skit. The woman acted as if she knew nothing and was confused by the sight she saw in the main hall.
Their clothes were all drenched except for Marion's private butler's clothes which were only slightly wet.
"It doesn't matter, Miss." Reply to Marion's personal servant who was wearing Ashelia's stepmother's dress.
Ashley was stunned to hear the woman's answer.
From behind the servant's back, a woman who had exchanged clothes with him looked pale and limp. It shows that something happened on their way.
They even cancelled their departure and returned home. The condition of their horse carriage was also damaged, until the person riding it was drenched.
What's more, the maid even exchanged clothes and hairstyles with Marion. Things that will never happen because the dress of a noble there is considered as self-esteem as well as one's honor.
Those who uphold social status will not be willing to exchange clothes, nor will their workers dare to do so.
Except,
if they are faced with a life and death choice.
"Lo's kidding?"
The step of the maid who was about to deliver Marion in was stopped. He who was also present when Ashley declared his power, could not deny his fear of Ashley.
Everyone there could feel Ashley's frustration exceeding usual. They felt the gripping atmosphere that the woman caused just from the words that came out of her mouth. Inevitably, the knight escorting Marion also increased his vigilance.
He only heard rumors about Ashelia's change. But never imagined by him, if the change is not just an exaggerated rumor.
That was also what Marion, who did not immediately believe 100% when her personal servant told her about it. But the woman came to believe when she saw him directly with both eyes.
The waiter in front of Marion just silently bowed. Maybe he just didn't want this incident to be heard by the other workers and ended up being spread out.
However, instead of looking for other answers to cover up the actual events, he said there was nothing when there was clearly something.
When Ashley stepped up to the servant, Marion almost pulled her sword out of the air, feeling the heat killing Ashley.
But before he actually moved his hand, the man was aware of his position as a Midgraff family knight. Her job is to protect Marion, but Ashelia is also the Miss she has to protect.
Others will not realize the mistake he almost made. However Ashley, stopped and glanced at him with such a sharp gaze.
"Lo-must"
Ashley's words intentionally did not he continue because he did not feel the need. Even so, the knight understood what Ashley was trying to say. He was shocked by the fact that Ashley realized the instant act of betrayal he had just committed.
As with the butler, the knight could see Vincent in Ashley's eyes. The enraged figure of his master that not many others knew.
Ashley's frustration at the time was at its peak. All the reasons that could upset him, that day gathered together into one.
He was already quite upset because it was raining. Annoyed by the lightning that kept on striking. I was so upset because I was trapped in that world. Upset because even though he had disciplined his subordinates, there were still people who opposed him. He was upset because he had to hold back. I was upset that I had to put everything together from the beginning. Plus, someone working under him, had just intended to attack him.
As if unwilling to admit his mistake and pretending not to know anything, the knight simply kept quiet as Ashley turned to approach him. He increased his alertness again because Ashley looked very serious.
The people gathered there did not dare to move, even to just give a towel to Marion and her personal servant.
Ashley who was already in front of the man quickly turned her body and attacked the right side of the knight's head with her heel. With swiftness the knight was able to fend off Ashley's attack.
The woman then launched her second attack quickly. Along with touching Ashley's right foot on the floor, the tip of her wand was already right in front of the knight.
Again, the knight managed to thwart Ashley's attack by capturing the stick. Ashley immediately pulled him up, making the man's chin clash with the tip of his wand.
Still holding Ashley's wand, he tried to resist the movement of wood-lined ornaments from the metal. But for some reason, he felt that trying to resist the movement of the stick was the wrong choice.
There was no doubt in Ashley's eyes, the woman then pulled her sword out and shocked the knight.
