Asher glanced with a sharp glance at Louzen, "Louzen you come to my office." Asher ordered."Yes, sir." Louzen trailed behind Asher, following his leader to the Dragon Knight leader's private study.In the Dragon Knight leader's private study, Asher was already sitting at his desk. Meanwhile, Louzen stood in front of him quietly waiting for Asher to start talking. "Tell me Louzen. What information did you get from the incident that happened at The Angel building?" Asher asked calmly. He didn't want to pressure Louzen and make him too cautious.As much as possible Asher made Louzen feel that he didn't know anything Louzen had done, so that in time Asher could catch those who were traitors in the Organization. As the saying goes, if you want to catch a fish, you need to spread the bait, widen the net and pull it slowly so that the fish is not surprised and get a satisfactory catch.Louzen was still silent. He seemed to be organizing the right words to say to Asher. "Sir, I've sent a t
Valencia turned her head with a smile and patted Liana's hand to ease the anxiety of the maid Valencia already considered a friend. "I'm fine. After all, from the moment I found out that Asher had been matched, I already had a premonition that there would definitely be a time for me to meet Princess Avrora. It's just that I didn't expect that the time to meet would be this soon, I will definitely deal with it.""Madam, you are truly full of patience and maturity. It is fitting that the lord chose you to be his lifelong companion. Master has never made a wrong choice.""Never mind... don't keep praising me. Rather, prepare the meal for Princess Avrora immediately. I'm afraid the maid made a mistake out of fear. I'm going to change my clothes to welcome her."Valencia and Liana began to move off on their own. Valencia went upstairs to change into proper clothes. Liana, on the other hand, took over the maid's duties to serve the honored guests of the Kingdom.In the living room, Princ
Valencia let out a long sigh after seeing Avrora's departure from her sight. Her body that had tensed up with the veins on her forehead that were interlocking gradually decayed and went limp. Her sluggish body collapsed and sat down on the sofa with both palms that still left a sense of anger, fear and trembling. 'I never thought I would have to deal with a woman of such high status in the Kingdom so quickly. It's really tiring, even my hands are still shaking after her departure.'"Madam, are you alright?!" Asked Rey worriedly at Valencia who looked exhausted and had a worried look on her face. Valencia turned to Rey who was standing beside her with a smile. She waved her hand slightly as a sign that she was okay. "I'm fine, Rey. Oh yeah, I hope this incident doesn't reach Asher's ears." Valencia said calmly, though not as calmly as her heart was still racing at the thought of Avrora's name. "Are you sure you don't want me to report it to Lord? Because I think, in the future, th
"Surprise?!" repeated Asher with one eyebrow raised. 'Valencia doesn't usually make surprises like this. What does my naughty wife want to do?' but the words stuck in Asher's mind.Asher massaged his temples and signaled the waiters to disperse. Asher was completely unaware that today was his birthday. All Asher knew was that he was irritated by his nosy wife's behavior, who arbitrarily changed the order of the mansion. Even though Asher always kept the mansion the same as before, which was when his late mother still occupied it.Asher's light steps carried him up the stairs to their bridal suite, hoping his wife was there or making sure Valencia didn't leave the mansion without his knowledge. Every step Asher took was like a flower blossoming in spring. It felt so thrilling."Since when did my heart become so pounding just from stepping into a room and imagining Valencia sleeping on her back. Oh shit! I really can't seem to help it." Asher said.The door to the room was still firmly
A bucket full of used laundry water soaked the body of a woman who was locked up in a secret room isolated from the outside world with weak and bruised body."Listen to me carefully, Valen. Luze is mine. The day after tomorrow, we will be engaged! You enjoy the rest of your life in this disgusting room." Said a woman who was Valen's close friend with a smirking smile."Carissa, don't think you can enjoy your life peacefully after getting rid of me. And let me say this: I don't need an ignorant man like Luze! Now that I'm giving it to you for free consider it my gift to you, my best friend!" Valen said with emphasis.'I need to get out of this disgusting room right now! Fortunately, I had time to spit out the paralyzing medicine Carissa had given me earlier. It's time to fight back. I've had enough of being tortured and drugged every day. Carissa, don't think I will stand by and watch you torture me daily. Even ants will bite if they continue to be tortured like this.' Valen thought."I
"Ken, hurry to the Villa. After this, call the doctor to check her condition.""Yes, sir." Ken accelerated his car toward the Villa.Asher looked closely at the face of the young woman, who looked beautiful and sweet despite her injuries. 'Who is this beautiful woman? Why did she get injured like this?'Just as the car arrived in front of the Villa, Asher immediately brought the woman, who turned out to be Valen, out of the vehicle and the Villa door was already open. Inside the Villa, the butler and other servants were waiting for him."Welcome, Mr. Asher. I am the butler of this Villa. Just call me Aunt Anna," greeted the butler named Aunt Anna."Don't you see there is an injured woman in my hands? Stop the basics, quickly call the doctor, and prepare clean clothes. Help her to clean up and prepare dinner right now!" Asher insisted,"Yes, as you ordered. Sir, one of the servants, will escort you to the guest room." Aunt An replied firmly, despite feeling guilty for not seeing the si
As Asher was about to leave his seat, Valen suddenly held Asher's hand tightly. "Don't go, don't leave me alone..." Valen mumbled. Without realizing it, Valen burst into tears."Sweety girl, are you having a nightmare, even to the point of tears?" Asher wiped Valen's tears from her face. "Alright, I'm not leaving. Sleep well, sweet girl." Asher finally sat down and let the woman beside him hold his hand tightly.Knock. Knock.Ken came in carrying a laptop and documents, along with the schedule for tomorrow. He handed the items to Asher. "Sir, I have updated the schedule you requested. Regarding the meeting with colleagues, I have postponed it entirely. And one more thing, I have contacted the Dragon Knight Headquarters. I assure you that no one will discover the location of this place. Is there anything else you want to say?" Ken asked."No need. You may leave." Asher opened the laptop to look at the data regarding the monitoring in District B.Not long after, Valen calmed down. Vale
When Valen returned from dinner, she did not immediately close his eyes. Instead, Valen sat with an irritated face imagining Asher's every annoying behavior and word."Even after I got hurt, the person who helped me was a jerk like Asher. Seeing how he looks and talks makes me want to stuff him with cayenne pepper. Aaargh ... I wonder why I've been able to like a guy like Luze for a year and have a traitor like Carissa. But come to think of it, Asher is a handsome guy. I have nothing to lose by being saved by him." Valen babbled until the end sentence.Valen, who was sitting, slammed her body on the mattress with a flushed face. "Never mind, I'd better get some sleep. Tomorrow I have to prepare myself to go back to Addison's house. That old fart definitely won't let me off so easily."The next day at the villa, Valen woke up from her sleep. She got up from the bed and walked out of the room. In front of the door of his room, there was already a servant ready to take orders.Valen appr
