How could this be? He had previously definitely belonged to the inco business appoint a way to escape, never standing up for others, and even if the problem was clearly caused by him, he was also too afraid to take on any responsibility That ti her, she only needed to throw hiround in panic But she had later heard from Tilly, that he had claimed that he had fallen by accidently, and that the 5th Princess was at fault for it After all ould she even find such an ugly wouard?

From that time on, Ashes’ view of the 4th Prince had fallen to the lowest possibility ranking

Previously she had believed that such a type of person would be easy for her to handle, but during today’s negotiation she had failed utterly to gain the upper hand Especially when the other side suggested a one-on-one co er, since the other side hadn’t thought about escaping Instead, it ht even have had the complete opposite effect If she had threatened hi the witch’s positive impression of her, it would not have had any other results

Ashes sighed, if she just could be as smart as Tilly, every problem that appeared before her could have been all smoothly solved The moment she encountered a situation such as this, she would surely have been able to coht?

If she hadn’t wanted to help Tilly as much as possible, Ashes really would have taken the next ship heading to Silver City and also leave the Kingdom of Graycastle as soon as possible

Unconsciously, she had already left the area of the town, she was no longer be able to see those green wheat field on the other side of the river, but instead she was looking at the unclaimed woodland

That’s bad, she thought to herself, straining all of the muscle in her body, ready to react to the next round of attacks from the other side, but the shadow just disappeared from in front of her

The dust settled down slohile the person again appeared near Ashes, playing with the dagger she was holding in her hand

It was Nightingale

“Should I see this as a warning?” Ashes frowned

“Of course not,” Nightingale said, putting her dagger back to her waist “I just wanted to see the strength of an extraordinary”

“Are you sure? It wasBorder Town quickly, or otherwise I would not stay polite with you?” Nightingale interrupted her “If that was the case, ould be the difference between Cara, and me?”

Cara? Why would she mention the former leader of the Witch Cooperation Association? Ashes asked herself in confusion

“You can rest assured that I won’t hinder you fro to leave with you, I don’t think His Royal Highness will stop you I certainly would not…” Nightingale paused, “But if you threaten to hurt His Highness, I guarantee you that next tirinned and then disappeared into thin air, “Enjoy your tih, you still warned me off, ah, Ashes shook her head
