Asher’s grip on Klaus’s face tightened, his fingers pressing hard into his jaw, holding him in place like he was trying to force him to face the truth of his actions.

His sharp eyes turned to Janine, who stood a few feet away, frozen in shock. Her face was pale, and her shoulders shook as if the weight of everything that had happened was too much to bear.

“Janine,” Asher said, his voice calmer now but firm. “Come here.”

She hesitated, glancing between Klaus, who looked weak and defeated, and Asher, whose strong and protective presence felt almost too much to handle.

Still, she didn’t move.

Her eyes fell to the shredded remains of her dress lying on the floor, a painful reminder of everything Klaus had taken from her—her pride, her dreams, and her confidence.

Asher took a step closer, still gripping Klaus by the collar.

“Janine,” he said again, his voice steadier now, breaking through her haze of despair.

“I know you’re tired. I know it feels like everything’s falling apart. But this

The thunderous roar of soldiers echoed across the field, their voices rising in unison as they raised their weapons high into the air. Triumphant cheers of “Long live General Blackmoor!” and “For Drakmont!” rippled through the sparse field like a battle hymn, drowning out even the crackling of distant campfires. Asher Blackmoor stood tall before his army, his commanding presence unmatched. His military coat, deep crimson and black, clung to his muscular frame, the badges on his shoulders glinting in the firelight—proof of the wars he had conquered. This wasn’t just a general. This was Asher Blackmoor, the man who struck fear into the hearts of his enemies and demanded respect from his allies. Stories of his valor were whispered in both enemy camps and taverns in Drakmont. Enemies shuddered at the mention of his name. It was said that in the Battle of Velmoria, when his men had been surroun

"How did you know Asher was dead?" he asked, his voice laced with disbelief. Juliet crossed her arms, a cruel smirk playing on her lips. “Of course, I’m sure. The news came weeks ago. Asher Blackmoor isn’t coming back—ever.” Julian raised an eyebrow, curiosity flashing in his eyes. Meanwhile, Juliet smirked, her face cold and unreadable. "Two years ago, Asher lost his sight in battle," she said, her tone sharp. "He was too ashamed to return home, Juliet scoffed, her lips curling into a bitter smile." She continued, "He was ashamed to return home, like the coward that he is, so he stayed in the army camp, pretending everything was fine." she spat, her voice dripping with contempt.

Passersby paused their shouting, and children froze in their tracks as all eyes turned to the shocking scene in the center. In the center of Drakmont’s main arena, there laid on the hot ground a man and woman who were being paraded and consumed by shame. “Look at that ” one man muttered in awe, nudging his companion. “That’s General Blackmoor’s parents, isn’t it?” “It can’t be!” the woman gasped, squinting her eyes. “How could anyone treat them like this?

The way people shifted, whispering nervously, made it clear she wasn’t someone to mess with. Julian’s confidence crumbled in an instant.

With a swift movement, she slapped Juliet across the face. The slap was sharp, brutal and deliberate. She knew Asher would never lay a hand on a woman, no matter rhe circumstances. But Morgana? She had no qualms doing that. Asher didn’t flinch. His voice was low but deadly. “Pray for my father’s survival, Juliet,” he said, his tone sending a chill down her spine. “If he dies, so do you.” The crowd around them was dead silent for a moment, the tension was thick enough to suffocate.

What we all should have done together. You acted alone, and you acted like you were doing us a favor."Klaus’s face twisted with anger, his fists clenching at his sides. "What the hell do you know about favors, old man?" His words spat out like venom. "Do you think I wanted to do this alone?

And in front of your mother, too?”Klaus’s anger flared up again, though there was a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.“Stay out of this, Father.
