096. A Rat Raised Like King
Without wasting a second, she leaned so close to Asher that it was clear that whatever she was about to say wasn’t meant for any other ears.Her body language alone showed it was serious. Even the way she glanced around before speaking seemed like she was checking if anyone was listening.Then she whispered something into his ear. The moment the words left her mouth, Asher’s whole body tensed. His face hardened, and he slowly turned toward her. When his eyes met hers, they were filled with pure anger and disbelief, the kind of look that screamed “Are you kidding me?”But Morgana didn’t flinch. Her face stayed steady, though the tight press of her lips and the slight twitch in her jaw showed how angry she was too. Asher knew instantly it wasn’t just duty that made her report this, but because it hit her personally as a woman. And in that moment, without any more words, Asher understood exactly how she felt… and why this couldn’t be ignored.Asher’s gaze remained hard as stone, then, wi
095. They Are Begging For Death
“Go tell whoever she sent that I don’t feel like seeing her.”His words came out of the blue. As if he had just made the decision right at that moment. Morgana blinked as she was caught off guard. It wasn’t like Asher to snap at her. “General?” she asked, as if she wasn’t sure she heard him right.But Asher’s stare didn’t soften. “Yes,” he said again, but this time, his voice was even colder. “I said I’m not in the mood to see her.”Asher had thought it might be fun at first to see her, the queen trying to throw his weight at him. But then, he realized that indulging and letting them think they have any atom of power over him made him sick. Then he turned and began walking away. Morgana quickly hurried after him and caught up by his side. She didn’t dare touch him, not with the look on his face, but she spoke quietly, choosing her words carefully.“General… I get why you’re angry with them,” she said. “They don’t deserve your time, they don’t even deserve to stand near you… but aren
094. Queen Ladin Says Hi
Everyone froze. The threat wasn’t loud, but it hit harder than a shout. Then Asher shot them one last wicked look before reaching out and gently taking his mother’s hand.“Come on, Mother. Let’s go.”As they made their way toward the door, the voice of the imperial guard could be heard in the background saying, “Mr. Roosevelt, are you coming with us now?”But Donovan’s voice immediately clashed against his, “You can’t just take my grandfather away like this! This is outrageous, we have rights! Do you even know who we are?”The head guard replied. “We know exactly who you are, Mr. Roosevelt. That’s why we’re here.”The argument started to heat up behind him with voices clashing, guards standing firm, and the Roosevelt family scrambling to figure out what to do.As all of the chaos unfolded, Asher just smiled to himself.“Serves you right… bunch of bloody idiots,” he muttered under his breath.All around the room, people started whispering.“I can’t believe it… the Roosevelt patriarch,
093. The Top Of Your Problems
As the room stayed frozen, with everyone weighing what just happened and waiting for what might come next, the doors at the back of the hall suddenly burst open. One of the Roosevelt mansion’s guards came rushing in with a pale face.“Mr. Roosevelt!” he called urgently as he addressed the Patriarch. “The Imperial Guards… they’re here!”The moment those words left his mouth, the doors to the event hall swung open wide, and just like that, soldiers in sharp, black-and-gold uniforms stormed in. They moved with deadly precision, fanning out across the room and surrounding everyone before anyone could properly react.A ripple of gasps spread through the guests. Some people stiffened, while some others grabbed at the arms of their chairs as murmurs started.And right then, just for a second, there was a small smirk on Asher’s face. No one caught it. But he knew exactly what was about to go down.Meanwhile, the Patriarch sat frozen with his neck straining as he tried to follow the soldiers’
092. Dear Dumb Uncle
After Asher's words, Stephen knew he was trapped. There was no way out now, and he could feel it in his bones. At that point, his palms grew clammy, his throat went dry, and his heart pounded wildly in his chest.Trying to save face, he gave a nervous chuckle and took a few slow steps toward Asher, like they were old friends who were about to settle a misunderstanding. But everyone’s eyes followed him, watching, waiting, and he felt it.“Come on, Asher,” he started with a forced tight smile. “Let’s not make a big deal out of this, yeah? It’s just a pearl. No need to cause a scene in front of everybody. You know how family gatherings can get… things get a little heated sometimes.”He let out a dry, nervous laugh and glanced around, hoping someone would jump in and agree with him. But no one did. In fact, people were now looking at him like they didn’t even know who he was.“We’re family, aren’t we?” he kept going, with his voice getting shakier by the second. “Little misunderstandings
091. Hand Over The Pearl, Loser!
The air in the room was so thick as everyone’s eyes were on the patriarch now, waiting for his next move. And right now, he was staring straight at Asher, with a stoic, unreadable expression.He let out a long, tired sigh, like he couldn’t be bothered anymore. Then in a calm but sharp voice, he said, “You’re rude. And I just hope your rudeness doesn’t end up getting you killed.”The room reacted instantly as people gasped while some even covered their mouths. Even Eleanor flinched where she was and her stomach twisted. She knew exactly what that meant coming from him. The old man didn’t make empty threats, when he spoke like that, bad things always followed.She looked at Asher, praying he would take the warning and back off. But one look at his face told her he wouldn’t. If anything, those words only fueled him more.Both of them weren’t just arguing now. It was like watching two people with the same dangerous temper, daring each other to make the next move.Eleanor’s throat felt tig
