Armipotent Chapter 488

Tang Shaoyang flew toward Biaska Town with his [Dragon Transformation]. They moved very fast and saw the town in a few hours. The town was not that big compared to the cities he passed when he flew toward here. He could see the whole town from the top. The town was circled with a twenty meters tall stone wall and tightly guarded by the guards since it was bordered by the Gigante Forest.
To not attract the unwanted attention, he landed far from the town, "Should we enter in disguise? Is there something we need to do to avoid the suspicion?" He was asking Ashley as they landed.
"Biaska Town is famous for its hunters. People who live in the town live by hunting the fierce beast in the forest. Despite the danger possessed by the forest, many people still choose to be a hunter. You can go big by hunting a rare beast or you will be buried in the forest." Ashley told them what she knew about Biaska Town.
"That's the reason why I told you to come here. The town is governed by a hunter as well. The nobles are not interested in the town, we will be safe for a few weeks. That should be enough to wait for my knights to arrive!" Ashley's mind was chaotic right now. She did not know which side she should pick, her family or this man.
Her life was in this man's hand because of the oath, but the other side was her family. It was something she could not decide in a short time, but she was more inclined toward her family than the man. But there was one thing that bothered her, "What do you want to do with your life? Is seizing the kingdom from the Kingsley Family your wish or is it your father's ambition?"
That was the question asked to her by the man when they were flying. Now she thought about it, the reason she joined the Revolution Army's cause was indeed her father's will, not hers. Now she asked herself after hearing his question, 'Is that something I want to do?'. She did not know the answer, because she just felt right by following her father. She felt it was something she ought to do as a daughter.

"Oi?" Tang Shaoyang nudged the girl. He had been asking whether they needed to disguise as a hunter or not, but Ashley ignored him. Her gaze was empty and seemingly in deep thought. He was kinda worried about her, "Can you do something with her?" He asked Selena, maybe she had a spell that could help Ashley.
"I have a calming spell. It will help you to calm your mind if you want," Selena asked Ashley. She was not going to cast the spell without the involved consent.
"No, there's no need," Ashley shook her head and looked toward Tang Shaoyang, "What is it?"
"Do we need to pretend to be hunters? Or should we just enter the city like this?" Tang Shaoyang had canceled the transformation. Now he was in casual clothes, and fortunately, the transformation did not ruin the clothes.
"That will do. Let's avoid the conflict while we are in town." Said Ashley as she led the two toward Biaska Town, "I don't think that possible." Tang Shaoyang shook his head.
"What do you mean?" Ashley asked back, 'Does he want to do something within the town? He is not going to kill the residents, right?' she cast a dubious look at the man.
"You will understand soon," Tang Shaoyang shrugged and walked past her, heading toward the town with Selena following him closely. On the way to the town, Ashley reverted to her dozing state. Her gaze was empty as her mind was wandering around. There was really something that bothered her.
"Do you have something in your mind?" Selena slowed down and adjusted her pace to Ashley, letting Tang Shaoyang walk four meters ahead of them.
Ashley glanced toward Selena and confusion plastered on her face, "Why are you so good at me? You don't have to do this, I am just a slave to your man! I don't need your sympathy!" Her words were sharp, but it was toneless.

Selena shook her head and smiled in response, "Because we are a family, we should treat each other well."
A frown formed on her forehead as Ashley was getting even more confused. She was flabbergasted with the sudden new term, "Family? Me and you?"
"Yes, me, you, and him. Doesn't that make us a family? Don't ever think of going back to your fiance, you are now his woman." Selena whispered to avoid Tang Shaoyang to hear her. However, with his [Dragon Sense], he could still hear her voice no matter how small her voice was.
"Who decides that? I never agreed to be his woman!" Ashley's response was strong, to the point that she almost snarled at Selena.
"Don't be shy, we are your new family now. You should not stay with someone who used you as a pawn. That is not what family is supposed to do," Even though Selena was unaware of the whole situation, she was aware that Duran Ambrose used her daughter as a pawn to achieve their ambition.
Marrying his daughter to the Royal Family so they could get access to what happened in the core area of the kingdom before they start the rebellion. If a war broke out, the chance of Ashley dying was big since she was basically in the enemy's den. It was clear that Duran did not care about her daughter's safety, if he cared, he would not let his daughter take the role.
Since they had planned the revolution for years, they still had a long time to groom a new girl to replace Ashley. They should be able to do that, but Duran Ambrose seemed to not care about that.
Ashley wanted to refute Selena's words that her father was not like that. But again, did her father really take her as a useful pawn or a daughter? She recalled her childhood memories, then she realized that she did not have a moment of a father and daughter. Her childhood memories were about her mother, her father was not there until a bandit attacked the village where she and her mother stayed.
Her mother died from the attack yet her father did not shed tears. He took her with him and raised her, not as a daughter but as a Frost Knight. She also then realized why she wanted to be a knight and become strong, she wanted to avenge her mother. She had done that, she had killed the band of bandits that attacked the village and killed her mother.
That was her first achievement as a knight, a knight of the Lionax Kingdom. During all of this time and hardship where was her father? What was his role in her life again? Once again, she could not find her father in her memories until Crown Prince Chandler showed an interest in her. At that time, her father showed in front of her more often.
Ashley was struck with a sudden realization. She thought her father had acknowledged her as a real knight, The Frost Knight that would inherit the Ambrose Family's mantle, but was that really the case? Ashley doubted herself now with everything resurfaced in her mind.

Greek, Norse, Sumerian, Christian— just name it and it's there. Adventures, on the other hand, are like credit cards. The first taste is free, but the price only goes up from there. Family heirlooms, now those are true evil. You get burdened with them for sentimental reasons even if they’re icky. For Lukas Aguilar, it was a pendant. A small, weird metal nib with absolutely no vampiric tendencies. All he wanted was to finish the job at hand, and get on that book he had been postponing for a while now. Instead he got served with an apocalypse for breakfast, a cave full of eldritch monsters for the company and the whims of a ruined goddess for his To-Do list. Really, a simple NO from the universe would have sufficed. Acknowledgments Editor-in-Chief: Solo Starfish Artwork: Exodus
