Arriving at the inn area, Ashley observed the old building from a distance. The bar and inn would never have been found Ashley if not for exploring the western area of Vinnas.
Soon, a middle-aged man came out from inside. The way the road is still staggering shows if he still feels the effects of post-severe drunk.
The man walked slowly towards the alley where Ashley and her two subordinates were. His eyes then looked forward, realizing that 3 people he had never met before were standing at the end of the alley. Seen later, the noble lady who was also staring at him.
With a face like a thug and having a sharp eye, Bellena did not dare to look at the man in the slightest. Another case with Ashley who actually continues to see it until the man himself turned his eyes back.
Certainly not because she felt intimidated by Ashley, but because she saw an armed bodyguard accompanying the woman.
Muttering in contempt of the nobility, saying they were merely timid arrogant people taking refuge behind others, the man walked past Ashley. Ashley's bodyguard's arm deliberately blocked the woman's right side, trying to protect her nona from the male's unstable clumsiness.
But Ashley's legs did the opposite.
From under the arm of his bodyguard, the man was kicked until he fell to the side. Surprised, the man looked back at the noble lady who dared to do so to him. But the look of anger he gave was only met with a look of disdain by Ashley.
Bellena who was shocked after hearing the man's voice fell down, grew even more unwilling to look. With the fear that started to come out, the girl just silently stared while covering both ears.
Although he usually prevented Ashley, this time he did not dare to do so because of hearing what the man had to say as well. The alley was quite hidden, and the area there was also quiet, perhaps it was fine because there were no witnesses?
In contrast to the girl, Ashley's bodyguard stepped forward and stood in front of her nona. Regardless of whose fault it was, her duty to protect Ashley had not changed.
With such a reckless attitude, it is no wonder that the nonanya always gets into trouble and comes home injured. The man began to pity anyone who had been caught up in Ashley's troubles all along.
Which meant that he would also start feeling sorry for himself from now on.
"Knight? Huh! No kidding! You're just a noble dog!"
While trying to get back on his feet the middle-aged man began to fight back. But still trying not to be provoked, Ashley's bodyguard just kept quiet. Whatever happens, a knight must remain calm and not be affected by his own emotions.
Expecting otherwise, Ashley placed her hand on the bodyguard's shoulder.
"Lo dengue? Dear dogs? Show him what you're capable of."
Beginning with an apology, the bodyguard still did not want to break his oath of chivalry.
"I can't attack ordinary people who aren't even armed."
"My job is just to protect Miss."
Putting on a lazy face for failing to affect her bodyguard, Ashley then pushed him aside. Open wide his defense from the man who could have threatened his life.
Ashley initially kicked an innocent man there out of annoyance at the disparaging remarks he made. At the same time, Ashley also needed someone to be questioned about the residents of the inn. Plus, the woman also saw a situation that she could take advantage of to get her bodyguard into trouble.
One paddle, three islands exceeded. Isn't that very efficient?
Seeing the appearance of the man in front of him who was not well groomed, used to get drunk, and woke up when the sun was high at his age which was not young anymore, Ashley concluded. He believes the person is an unemployed person who has no spouse and does not have a good relationship with his parents.
The thin bearded man was stared at by Ashley from top to bottom. Afterwards, an insulting smile was shown by the woman blatantly.
Just from looking at Ashley's expression, the man's imagination has been wandering, imagining every blasphemy that he often hears every day.
Clenching his teeth while looking at Ashley with a gaze full of anger, he was still trying to hold back. The man was aware, having a problem with a noble would not end up being pleasant. His life right now was already difficult enough, there was no reason for him to make things more difficult for him anymore.
But Ashley wanted a different answer.
The insults were so heart-wrenching and self-respecting of the man. The thing that had made him stop breathing for a moment because Ashley's speech was too painful.
His pupils trembled as his eyelids did not blink at all. His blood raced as the man's heart rate increased. Something in his chest was burning, and his breathing was starting to get irregular. The ruthless woman managed to make the patience she maintained evaporate completely.
Drowning in his anger, the man lost control of himself. In an instant he shortened the distance between himself and Ashley. He held out his right hand, trying to grab the neck of the woman in front of him.
Acting fast, Ashley's bodyguards grabbed the man's body and tried to hold him back from approaching the troublemaker lady behind him. But the middle-aged man used all his strength, and overwhelmed Ashley's bodyguard a little while trying to stop him.
One thing that was missed, the right hand of the person was still able to reach far back.
Instead of being afraid, Ashley just looks like looking forward to the moment. His eyes were wide open along with his laughter. With the range of the clutches living 2 inches away, who was able to stop that person when Ashley herself was just silent?
Perhaps this was the first giggle she would receive in Ashelia's world, and the woman accepted it with pleasure.
"Erghh"
Only index.
Only the man's index finger was able to touch Ashley's chin, before the knight pulled his hand back and flapped his ankle. Falling in a prone position, his body and chin hit the ground hard.
Although only index finger but the strength is quite felt, to make Ashley fell to the side. If he had nails, maybe Ashley's chin is bleeding now.
Poking her tongue, the woman showed dissatisfaction at the result she should be grateful for.
How not? The thing he wanted was to get injured, so that he had a reason to lay off his guard.
Still putting on an annoyed face, Ashley also let this pass. Expelling his bodyguard could be done next time.
Now he must return to paddle to at least pass the other two islands.
