076. Not An Ordinary Store
As the gun pressed longer on her, the sales rep’s whole body felt like it wasn’t hers anymore. Her legs were weak, her throat were dry, and her mind was spinning faster than she could keep up with as the truth was starting to settle heavily in her chest that this wasn’t a prank nor a scare tactic.Her heart thumped wildly against her chest and her thoughts spiraled. “Wait… is this really happening? Am I about to die over… over this random woman?”She looked at Eleanor properly now, and to be honest, she still looked plain and there was nothing special about her. She still looked like one random person. So it dawned on her that no matter how ordinary Eleanor looked, for someone like Morgana to come in, cause a scene, and pull out a real gun all because of her… it could only mean one thing. Eleanor wasn’t just anybody. She was someone important. With this, she was confused and scared as her thoughts spiraled. Should I just kneel down and beg? But beg who? That nobody? but then, her hea
075. Morgana Has Gone Crazy!
For a moment, it felt like everything froze as everyone was trying to understand what had just happened. Some people grabbed their chests while others ducked in fear. Did they really just hear a gunshot?In Drakmont, people always fought with swords, spears, but guns were things they only heard about in stories from travelers or faraway lands. No one ever thought they’d hear one here, and definitely not inside a fancy, high-class store like this.Even the ruler of Drakmont himself didn’t have a gun. For anyone to own one… that person had to be crazy powerful. The kind of person nobody in their right mind would cross.And now, as a bit of smoke rose toward the ceiling, everyone slowly turned to see where it came from, and there stood Morgana, with her hand raised, holding a pistol.It looked so out of place in this beautiful store filled with expensive clothes and shiny decorations. Even Eleanor, who was still on the floor, looked up with wide eyes as she couldn’t believe what she was
074. Entered with a BANG!
The next day came quickly, and before Elenore could gather her nerves, she found herself sitting in the back of a black car with the shining emblem of the Supreme General of Drackmott gleaming on its front, and Morgana was behind the wheel.When they arrived at the most luxurious clothing store in Drackmott, Maison D’Rosell, the attendants outside immediately straightened up. Morgana stepped out first, then she circled the car, and opened the door for Elenore.“Ma’am,” she said with a polite bow of her head.Elenore stepped down and adjusted her scarf nervously. She wasn’t used to this kind of attention, especially not arriving in a car marked by authority and power.As they headed toward the store’s glass doors, Mogana’s phone buzzed in her pocket. She glanced at the screen, and the name made her frown.“Ma’am, please head inside,” she said, “I’ll join you in a moment. I need to take this call.” Elenore gave a small nod and walked ahead.The moment she stepped through the doors, she
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
