073. Asher Vs The Roosevelt
The moment Eleanor revealed what she had been hiding all this time, she suddenly felt exposed. It was as if she had mentioned something she shouldn't have. Feeling disturbed and overwhelmed, she suddenly snapped,“Asher!”But Asher didn’t flinch. Instead, he turned towards her and returned the yell. “Mother! What do you think you’re doing?!” he barked.“Asher, please…” she choked out, but Asher wasn’t done. His chest rose and fell heavily as the fury inside him was refusing to be caged any longer.“No, Mother. I won’t stand for this.” He straightened. “I am General Asher Blackmoor, the only general who’s never lost a battle for Drakmont. Through blood and sweat, I fought day and night, every single day. I’ve faced horrors on the warfront, nightmares that haunt me still. But I came back to this city, this city of rotten civilians I’ve been protecting, only to find them hurting my own mother.”His voice thundered and was full of rage and disbelief.All this time, Thomas remained silent,
072. He Can’t Be Stopped Now
The moment Asher spoke those words, Eleanor’s heart dropped.“No… no, Asher, you can’t,” she stammered with her voice trembling as she rushed toward him. She reached for his hand and gripped it desperately. “You can’t go there, no matter what. Promise me you won’t.”Her eyes were glassy now. The panic in them were raw and unfiltered. It wasn’t just fear, it was terror. The type which only someone who had lived through hell could understand.But Asher didn’t flinch. He stared down at her, “Why?” he asked angrily, with his brow furrowed. “Why not, Mother?”He pulled his hand free, though gently, and took a step back.“They asked for you, didn’t they? They sent that miserable man here to threaten you. They said they would destroy the lilies you planted at your mother’s grave."His tone dropped, sharp and cold. “And you want me to stand aside while they threaten you? While they act like they own your pain? After everything?”Eleanor’s lips trembled as words caught in her throat.This wasn
071. Let’s Attend a Party, Shall we?
While Eleanor clung to Asher’s arm, she completely went into a daze. It was like she was trapped in some awful memory Stephen’s words had dragged her back into.Morgana who was by the door like a guard dog didn’t take her eyes off Stephen as he left. Her fingers twitched near the hilt of her sword as she asked, itchy for permission, “Want me to go after him, General?”Asher opened his mouth to answer, but before he could speak, a weak, raspy voice broke through the thick silence.“…Did they come back… to torment her again?”The room froze. Slowly, all of them turned their eyes toward the bed where the sound had come from. There lay Thomas, Asher’s father, frail, pale, and sickly, but his half-lidded eyes were open now, and though his voice was weak, it carried a heavy weight. He wasn’t asking for no reason… he knew.At the sound of his voice, Eleanor suddenly snapped out of her daze. She straightened in Asher’s hold, hurriedly wiped her face and fixed her expression like nothing had h
070. Maternal Grudges
At Stephen’s words, Asher’s stare stayed hard on him. He was boiling and fuming now but he tried to suppress the anger burning in him.“And what kind of nuisance are you?” he shot back coldly in a voice filled with disgust.Stephen’s fake smile cracked and his brows pulled together. “What?!” he yelled.That was clearly a reply from Asher to this Stephen from only God’s know where. It was clearly a rude one to show his sharp distaste of him. Even Eleanor’s eyes widened and the look on her face says it all. It was like she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.But Asher wasn’t done. “You know what?” he started again. Though his tone was low and steady, his anger was clear in every word.“Since I came back from war, I’ve been meeting all kinds of people… nuisances, to be honest. The kind of people who made my parents suffer when they were alone. The kind of people who cheated on me while I was away. The ones who tried to humiliate me, step on me, and treat me like trash in every possib
069. A New Lowlife
The next morning, Morgana was walking beside Asher down the hospital hallway with her voice full of excitement.“You should’ve seen how the party ended last night, General,” she said, grinning. “Janine ended up performing instead of Alesha. Can you believe that? And she killed it. The whole place went silent when she started, then boom, everyone was drawn in.”Asher gave a small nod but his eyes were still looking ahead.“That’s good,” he said, but Morgana kept going and her smile got even wider.“And guess what, General, the ruler himself asked Janine to perform in the court. Directly. No need to go through the Ministry of Rites anymore. She’ll be performing for him alone. That’s huge! Her rank’s going to shoot up.”“That’s nice,” Asher replied, sounding calm, though Morgana caught the little spark of approval in his expression.She let out a small sigh as she realized his thoughts were somewhere else but she decided to drop one last update.“Oh, and I heard this morning, Elias repor
068. Take Out The Gabbage
Right after Asher’s thunderous threat, his eyes snapped straight back to Elias and the moment their gazes met, it felt like the floor dropped out from under him. His chest tightened and sweat broke out on his forehead.For the first time in his life, after all the bragging and scheming, he felt completely exposed. It was as if every dirty secret he had ever hidden was now written all over him for everyone to see.Then Asher raised his sword again and at that instant, Elias’s heart stopped. He’s going to kill me. He thought.As Asher raised the sword, his muscles tightened as every inch of him was ready to strike. The whole room seemed to hold its breath. No one moved, no one spoke. Even the ruler sat frozen in place, unable to stop what felt like the inevitable.Then, in one quick move, Asher swung the sword, but at the very last second, the sword slipped from his hand and clattered loudly on the floor as if he did it intentionally.At the clattering sound, Elias jolted hard as the so
