Asher felt his heart beating uncontrollably fast; it was his first time experiencing such an intense battle... well, in reality, it was only a few moves.
Moreover, he could feel that Aife hadn't gone for the kill earlier. If she had been serious, it definitely wouldn't have been this level, because she likely knew about his precognitive ability, otherwise, she wouldn't have even known about Morgan's existence.
No matter what, the most important thing now was Uathach. He had to take his sister away as soon as possible.
Asher sprinted towards Uathach's room and abruptly pushed the door open.
"Sister, we have to leave here as soon as possible."
Uathach looked up, a puzzled expression on her face.
"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly so nervous? By the way, where did you go this afternoon? Why couldn't I find you anywhere?"
When Uathach said the last part, her eyes showed a hint of doubt.
Asher didn't waste words, quickly stepped forward and grabbed Uathach's small hand.
"No time to explain, just come with me."
"Why?" Uathach was stunned.
"Do you want to elope with your sister? Actually, there's no need... Mom has already agreed to our engagement, so there's no need to elope..."
Bang!
Just as she said this, the door was kicked open.
"Brat, you're the first person who dared to play tricks on me. I'll definitely 'love' you well in a bit, don't worry."
As she finished speaking, Aife's face revealed a charming smile, but this smile made Asher feel an intense sense of danger.
Undoubtedly, Aife's "love" was not a good thing.
"Uathach?!"
The moment she kicked open the door, Aife saw the young girl in front of her. She was startled, and her angry expression quickly turned into a smile.
"So this is your room?"
"What are you doing here?!" Uathach glared coldly at the woman in front of her, still sitting on the bed, as if the woman was just an ordinary subordinate, and her tone was like she was reprimanding a subordinate.
"I'm here to teach this child a lesson..."
"Get out!" Uathach said angrily.
"This is my room."
"Is that so..." Aife paused.
"Sorry, then I'll take him out..."
"You go out first, he's my brother!" Uathach spoke again, her eyes filled with anger as she looked at Aife.
"If you hurt Asher... I'll never speak to you again!"
Aife was stunned for a long time before turning and leaving the room.
The queen of the "A" kingdom now sat by the door, looking at the rain outside, her high ponytail swaying gently. Her back looked somewhat desolate, like a lonely old person who had been abandoned.
Asher watched, somewhat dumbfounded.
...What is going on?
"Asher, are you okay?" Uathach straightened Asher's collar, her purple eyes showing concern.
She looked up and said, "That woman didn't hurt you, did she? If you're hurt anywhere, I'll never let her off."
Aife, sitting by the door, heard this and her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she had heard something extremely serious.
"I'm fine..." Asher strangely glanced at the woman with the high ponytail by the door and whispered,
"Who is she to you?"
Although Asher had heard a long time ago that Scathach had a younger sister named "Aife," and that her relationship with Scathach was very bad, he never expected Aife to have such a good relationship with his master's adopted daughter.
No, more than just good; Aife's attitude... it was almost a pathological doting on Uathach.
"When I was little and didn't know any better, I met my aunt while playing outdoors and spent some time with her." Uathach said this, then glanced again at the woman sitting by the door.
"Later I found out that she and Mom don't get along, and she established her own country, always wanting Mom to submit."
Asher thought to himself, it seems this woman is a bit like a daughter-lover... no, not just a daughter-lover, it looks like she's even a sister-lover. And it seems Master doesn't know that her sister and her adopted daughter have such a good relationship?
Just as he thought this, Asher suddenly felt a gaze directly staring at him.
He followed the direction of that gaze and saw Aife. Her cold eyes were staring directly at him, and her mouth was slightly open. Although he couldn't hear the sound, Asher understood her meaning.
Undoubtedly, what Aife said was probably: Try telling what just happened.
A strong sense of threat, and those cold eyes... there was no doubt that this woman was not joking. If Uathach really ignored her in the future, Aife would definitely not let him off.
Asher nodded, indicating "I understand."
"By the way, Asher, were you bullied by this woman just now, which is why you were so eager to take me away?" Uathach suddenly asked.
Aife's gaze immediately became much more nervous, and she secretly glanced at Asher again, this time even with a hint of pleading.
One should always leave a way out for others. Asher was someone who responded to softness but not hardness. Facing Aife's gaze, his heart instantly softened, and he shook his head,
"Aife-daren and I were just playing around... I suddenly came to find you just to scare you, but I didn't expect you to know Aife-daren, sister."
It had to be said that a woman with a cold exterior showing that pleading look really had a strong contrasting cuteness. Moreover, Aife hadn't really gone for the kill earlier. If she had wanted to kill him, he still had no resistance at all.
Uathach nodded gently, muttering, "Is that so," then looked at Aife by the door.
"You should go back first. I'm very tired from training all day. I'll come find you tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Aife could only nod, then stood up and looked at Asher in the room.
"Brat..."
Noticing Uathach's displeased gaze, Aife coughed lightly,
"Asher, right, you're a very good prospect, I appreciate you. Can you see me off? I'm a bit unfamiliar with the way."
Asher thought to himself, if you don't know the way, how did you get to the palace?
Despite his thoughts, Asher still nodded,
"Alright."
He wasn't Uathach; he couldn't be so willful.
"Are you sure it's okay? If you don't want to, just refuse her," Uathach said gently, holding Asher's hand.
"It's fine, I'm willing..."
Seeing this, Uathach could only nod,
"Then I'll wait for you to come back."
---
"Brat, well done." Aife looked very satisfied.
"This time, I owe you one."
The two walked along the long corridor of the Land of Shadows. Aife was very satisfied with Asher's performance just now, and the hostility she initially had because he was Scathach's apprentice was greatly reduced.
"Although your strength isn't much, at least you know how to behave, much better than that old woman."
Asher rolled his eyes, too lazy to speak, and just walked silently beside Aife. No wonder she didn't get along with his master; this woman was too sharp-tongued. With Scathach's temper, if she heard her sister say something like "old woman," not breaking her legs would already be out of consideration for their sisterly bond.
"I say... Aife-sama, what exactly are you doing in the Land of Shadows?" After a moment, Asher suddenly asked.
"Teaching Scathach's apprentices a lesson," Aife said indifferently.
"But the place you appeared just now wasn't the training ground, was it? And it didn't feel like you were coming for me..."
Aife's expression was slightly awkward.
"Hmm... if I had to say, I planned to visit that child Uathach along the way."
"While my master isn't around?" Asher asked with a strange look.
Can't beat her own sister, so she's trying to snatch her daughter?
