Cinderella Crazy
Glad to be your daughter

Returning to the residence to write a letter of repeal of the Kalia sentence that he will direct to Asteron, he actually presents an uproar that hinders his activities.

Just like Bellena, not worried about her injuries, the thing the workers at the residence were questioning was who Ashley's victims were this time?

Marion who also realized the commotion was approaching her stepdaughter.

"Can't you stop looking for attention?" Say it while going down the stairs.

Ashley chuckles. With a smile, he replied,

"Why? You envy the cave over Papa's watch?"

"Gua can help if you want. But it might hurt a little." Continue with a playful expression.

Marion simply clenched her teeth holding back her annoyance at not being able to reply to the woman.

Ashley moved back to the stairs as she was about to go to her room. But Marion spontaneously stepped back when she saw Ashley walking towards her.

Funny, considering Ashelia managed to be bullied by a cowardly woman like her and even to the point of losing her leg. And even more funny, despite being afraid of Ashley, Marion still dared to open her mouth and say something at will.

Laughing, Ashley shook her head, not being out of thought with the attitude of the two people.

"Jeez Ashelia? What's going on?"

Ashley raised her head hearing the voice of someone so familiar in her ears. A man standing at the end of the stairs looked down with a worried face as his daughter was injured for the second time.

Hurry up to the girl who was silent in the middle of the stairs. The two arms of her daughter were removed, before checking the left and right sides of the girl, making sure there were no other injuries.

"How did you get hurt? Who did it?"

Then he changed his focus of view. He looked far behind his daughter, looking for someone who should always be near her.

"Where's your personal servant?" He asked as he looked back at his daughter.

But the girl just stared at her father's face. Ashley was focused on something else, something she had just realized.

For some reason, the name Ashelia that came out of Vincent's mouth for him was always painful.

There were many things he wanted to say every time he saw Vincent but none of them managed to say. He opened his mouth a little as if he was about to say something, but the words that were already at the end of his throat were not able to get out.

His heart was slashed again every time he thought about it.

After repeatedly thinking about it, it was finally only a short answer that he gave.

"Just Kegores. Not a serious matter."

"What's not a serious problem!?" Vincent's sudden snapping made Ashley very surprised to see the response he gave

Everyone was stunned because Vincent had never been angry before. When he was angry because Ashley's hand was injured not much was seen.

He then told the butler to call the doctor when he himself would drive Ashley back to his room. Before examining his own daughter's wounds, he wouldn't leave.

They arrived at Ashelia's room, having a conversation with the doctor who came in a hurry.

Marion's face paled, as did the butler and the doctor who saw the wound on Ashley's neck. Vincent only stared at the still very new wound with a difficult look to explain.

Scratched?

The wound was even deep enough to be said to be sliced, but the face of the crybaby girl before him now did not appear to be in any pain at all.

As the doctors provided better treatment and closed Ashley's wounds, the woman continued to turn her face away. He felt strange every time he saw Vincent using a complex expression. He was more used to Anthony's only cold expression.

The girl's hand was taken by her father.

He clasped Vincent's hand spontaneously as his chest sipped to hear his papa clone calling him by the name of the man he hated. His lungs shrank and his chest was sucked in. He felt very eager to hit something to channel his emotions.

But that feeling turned into an electric shock as Vincent continued.

"What's your goal?"

Ashley looked straight into the man's eyes, trying to interpret the words he had just said. A feeling began to gush out from within him. A feeling that keeps telling not to misunderstand Vincent's ambiguous remarks.

"What made you change so drastically?" Vincent explained the meaning of his words.

"To be honest, your change worries me."

Tears began to pool on Ashley's eyelids. A sense of relief, uneasiness, and sadness mixed into one.

He knows Vincent is not Anthony. He also knew that the speech was not addressed to him. It was as if it was wiping out something in his heart. Something dark and empty.

Is this how it feels to have a father who will be angry for you?

Is this how it feels to have a worried father when his daughter bounces too far?

Can I have this feeling even if I know it's not for me?

Withstood tears that came out, as hard as possible. His throat hurt so much he couldn't say anything. He was worried that the sound that came out would sound embarrassing.

But without being hidden, they already knew it. Ashley's feelings are too big to cover up.

After waiting for a while while still holding Vincent's hand, Ashley began to calm down and can control his emotions.

"Ash."

The man tried to listen as his daughter finally started talking. He thought Ashley was using a third point of view to point to herself.

"Can you call me Ash insead?"

But it's not.

What surprised him even more was the woman's use of language. Since when can Ashelia use the language?

Removing the surprised expression he had just shown, Vincent smiled. He then agreed to the request of his daughter who now looks like a submissive girl.

After advising his daughter to take a break following the words of their family doctor, Vincent and the entire 'audience' there left the room. Give space to patients with unreadable personalities to rest.

"Pa's." Call him when Vincent slams out of his room.

Without looking at the face of the man she called out to, Ashley revealed the very thing she had wanted to say all along but could not. What he wanted to say to Anthony.

"Glad to be your daughter."

The man was stunned. He said nothing for a few seconds to the point of Ashley turning to him, thinking Vincent was no longer there. The man then smiled. Such a friendly smile, which Ashley could not possibly imagine would be etched into her father's face.

From then on, Vincent sends a knight to look after Ashley wherever and whenever she goes outside. Although Ashley usually deliberately told them not to follow her, this time she could not do so. The commandment that came down directly from Vincent certainly had a higher power.

Therefore, he was currently walking around the city at night with a man dressed as a knight.

But instead of feeling safe, the woman felt very disturbed.

"N-mom, can't we go through more crowded roads?"

He was clearly not a knight.
