Chapter 489: The Trouble Has Come (1/2)
'Why did she not realize it until now?' A new question popped out of her mind. Ashley quickly found the answer, that was because she wanted to be acknowledged by her father. She desired that because her father was the only family member she had. She thought that if she followed her father's will, he would acknowledge and be proud of her. Yet now, she thought that was not the case. Just like Selena said, she was just a pawn for his ambition.
The sudden realization hurt her, he was the only family she had. Why? She could never understand that unless her father told her his thoughts. She wanted to know that even though she knew that the truth might hurt.
The more she thought about it, another question popped out of her mind, ”What makes me part of your family?” That question blurted out from Ashley's mouth. The question was directed toward Selena.
Selena let out a chuckle at the innocent question. While Commander Ashley was skilled on the battlefield, this was something new for her, ”When you become a man's wife, doesn't that make you and your husband a family? I am his… sixth or seventh? I forgot who's first between me and Arina but you are tenth. Welcome to Tang Family,” Selena smiled widely.
”I never agreed to be his wife, don't include me in that nonsense.” Ashley refused right after she heard she was the tenth. It was not uncommon to have several wives in the kingdom, but it was not something she desired to do.
”But you have done it with him, the thing that could only be done with a wife and a husband. If you want, I can set up a marriage oath between you and him, do you want me to?” Selena got even closer to Ashley and whispered.
Ashley's cheeks flushed red when Selena brought that up. That was a mistake and would not be repeated again. She was about to talk back until they heard Tang Shaoyang's voice, ”I am sorry to interrupt the girls' talk, but we have arrived.”
Selena and Ashley looked forward and saw the twenty meters wall. The gate was tightly closed but there was a small door for people to get through. There was a small line formed at the door, four people were lining up to enter the town.
Compared to the other two towns that bordered the Gigante Forest, Biaska Town was the least popular amongst the three. Biaska Town would be the last choice as the other two cities fared better since a noble governed the town.
Tang Shaoyang brought the battle-ax as Selena also got her spear out. She tried to hide her identity as a healer. They had agreed to pretend to be a hunter, a newbie hunter that wanted to try their luck in the Gigante Forest.
However, Ashley did not have her gears on her. She was forcefully brought away by Tang Shaoyang. She had nothing, even in her inventory. She had a habit of emptying her inventory after the expedition.
”You don't have a weapon?” Tang Shaoyang asked as soon as he noticed the girl was doing nothing but watching them. Ashley shook her head, ”I have nothing.”
Tang Shaoyang took out a bow, it was a bow made of bone. It looked creepy but the bow was one of the treasures from the sixth portal of the Survival Game. He looked at the creepy bow and looked at Ashley. He stored the bow back and took a new sword. It was a two-handed sword, made of fine steel, around 1.7 meters long.
Tang Shaoyang tossed the sword at Ashley. She caught the sword and was surprised by the weight of the sword. The sword almost fell from her hands, but she managed to catch the sword with an extra movement. She then heard the man's voice, ”Opps, careful, the sword is quite heavy.”
Ashley rolled her eyes at the man while trying to swing the sword in the air. Of course, for someone in level 717 like Ashley, the sword's weight was nothing. The sword almost fell because she was not expecting the sword would be this heavy.
