Chapter 480: Duran Ambrose (1/2)
”Father.” Ashley approached the middle-aged man. She hugged and kissed him on the cheek, ”We are discussing something so we are late.” She straight lied to her father with her cold voice that sounded believable. There was no way she would tell her father what they did before. Fortunately, she asked Selena to heal her or else her father would notice.
”Then I would like to hear what you guys discussed without me,” The middle-aged smiled at her daughter before glancing toward Tang Shaoyang and briefly looked toward Selena.
”Then let's go to another place,” Ashley pulled her father while signaling to Tang Shaoyang and Selena to follow them.
Duran Ambrose, the current head of the Ambrose Family. Living in the dark because of the accusation of treason to the Kingdom. It was a famous tale where the Ambrose Family assassinated the Flame Queen. That was what people believed until now as lies said many times could become the truth.
The Fotia Legion was later dispatched to extinguish the Ambrose Family. The strongest Knight Legion in the Pyrolis Kingdom. However, Fotia Legion later found out that it was a scheme of Prime Minister Robert Kingsley who later changed the name of the kingdom to get rid of the bad luck. Hence the Lionax Kingdom formed with the Kingsley Family assumed as the ruling family in the kingdom.
By that time, it was too late for the Fotia Legion to make any move as everyone took a side of the living Kingsley Family rather than the dead Queen. Even if they found out about it, who would rule the kingdom if they managed to get rid of the Kingsley Family?
Queen Rosalie did not have a husband let alone a descendant to inherit the kingdom. That was why the nobles united as one and supported the Kingsley Family. If the civil war broke out, the neighboring kingdom would take this chance to attack the kingdom. It was the worst scenario for the noble.
As for why the Ambrose Family could be saved, it was thanks to the Commander of the Fotia Legion who at that time was also Crystal's friend. While the Commander did not manage to save half of the family members, he saved the other half without others knowing about it.
Later on, the Fotia Legion was disbanded by King Robert who was just assumed as a King. Despite the opposition of the nobles, King Robert looked at the strongest legion as a threat to his throne. He disbanded the legion and started hunting the members that were loyal to Queen Rosalie.
That was what Ashley told him about the Lionax Kingdom's history. Because of this, the remains of the Fotia Legion had been moving secretly, plotting against the Lionax Kingdom with the remainder of the Ambrose Family from the dark.
As they headed toward another place, Tang Shaoyang asked Crystal through his mind, 'Do you know this Duran?'
”I don't know him but he should be my grandson,” Crystal's reply surprised him. He then looked toward Ashley, ”Does that mean Ashley is your great-granddaughter?”
”She is!” Crystal did not deny it.
”Does that mean I am your in-law?” Tang Shaoyang found this relationship funny.
”Technically you are my in-law and also my Master.” Crystal followed his random talk and replied.
He followed Duran through the paved path and headed toward the main residence. Upon arriving at the main residence, they walked toward the west wing building. He thought they would be brought toward a private building to have a conversation. However, to his surprise, they were brought to a dining hall.
Dozens of maids preparing the food on a long table. He observed the table and counted the chairs. There are fifty chairs in total, decorated well and with a candle between the dishes.
